I've Been Testing This Lesser-Known LED Mask for 3 Months, and My Skin Has Never Had More Praise
I tried this under-the-radar LED mask for 12 weeks, and the compliments I've had on my complexion have been next-level.
As a beauty editor, I've tried tonnes of skincare tools. From microcurrent devices to at-home hair removal tools, I've put hundreds of beauty tools through their paces in my decade working in beauty. But right now, the most common skincare device I get asked about is LED masks. Previously, you'd have to head to a clinic for LED light therapy, but now, a new wave of at-home LED masks means that you can enjoy all the skin-rejuvenating effects at home in front of Netflix or a TikTok scroll.
I've now tried dozens of LED masks for my job, so when the Keskine LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask Pro landed on my desk, I had plenty to compare it to. I've been testing it over the past 12 weeks, so you can decide whether you want to make the investment in your skincare routine.

Pros
- Four LED wavelengths, including red, blue, yellow and orange
- Clinically proven to improve wrinkles and breakouts
- Contains more LED bulbs than most other LED devices on the market, providing better LED coverage
Cons
- On the premium price range for an LED mask
- The mask is larger and rigid, so it requires storage space
The Tech
What's most impressive about this LED mask is the range of light wavelengths, which includes red, blue, orange and yellow. The four treatment modes are designed to address different skincare concerns.
Red: Red (650nm) + Infrared (1064nm) to promote collagen and plump wrinkles
Purple: Blue 465nm+ (650nm) + Infrared (1064nm) to stimulate skin repair and healing
Yellow: Yellow 590nm + Infrared (1064nm) to soothe skin and reduce redness
Orange: Yellow 590nm + Red (650nm) + Infrared (1064nm) to brighten the skin and boost radiance
It also features 352 LEDs, which is particularly impressive as its signifcantly more than most other LED masks on the market. More bulbs mean a better distribution of light across your skin, helping to boost results. Keskine has even conducted clinical studies on the device, which showed a 28.9% improvement in wrinkle appearance and a 54.55% reduction in visible blemish count in two weeks.
My Experience
I put the mask to the test over the past 12 weeks, using it around 4-5 days per week on average. The shape of the LED mask is very different from the flexible masks I've tried previously. This one has a rigid, moulded structure and doesn't have gaps for the eyes or mouth. At first, I thought this might be a little claustrophobic as you can't see through from the outside in, but you can see through the eye area on the inside (it features a cushioned eye area on the inside of the mask), and it fits comfortably thanks to the adjustable straps. It's also much larger than most masks, giving LED coverage right up to the hairline, which, if, like me, you want to benefit from LED on your temple area to encourage hair growth, is a big bonus.
Whilst this LED mask might be more expensive than some other models, you're getting the option of four different treatment modes. Most LED masks typically offer red and infrared, but this mask includes the addition of blue and yellow light. Whether you want skin brightening, skin tightening, acne removal or smoothing, there's a tailored treatment to suit most skin concerns here. The treatment times are all 10 minutes, so it's easy to slot into your bedtime routine. The only thing I'd say is that the visibility through the mask isn't the best, so reading is a little tricky. The mask itself is really comfortable and secure, and you can even walk around with it comfortably without it sliding off like some LED masks.
Over the past few months, my main concerns were plumping my skin and clearing breakouts, so I opted for the red light and blue light options the most.

The Verdict
I'd had a gap of a few weeks in between testing my last LED mask, and so my skin was looking dull, uneven in tone, and I also had some active breakouts. On top of that, I also had a flare-up of perioral dermatitis and eczema, so this mask had its work cut out.
I rotated between the different settings, and I first started to see results after about two weeks of use. The first signs I saw were more radiance. I'd wake up in the morning, and my skin would possess more of a glow compared to the nights I hadn't used it. The breakouts I'd been experiencing were fewer and further between, and any that did crop up had a much shorter lifespan, with acne scarring fading much faster (thank you, blue light!). During my perioral dermatitis flare-up, I used the yellow light setting, which helped to reduce the inflammation and redness, and it totally cleared up in less than a week. 12 weeks later, I've had more compliments on my skin than ever before, and so this LED mask really is working.
Like with any LED mask, you have to be consistent to see the results (once or twice a week isn't going to cut it), but when I used it 4-5 days per week, I saw a noticeable plumping in the fine lines around my eyes and forehead. My last Botox treatment has worn off, and so this was a big plus to help maintain my results in between my next appointment.
Of course, this LED mask is a big investment. However, if you want the option of a range of LED treatment options, I feel like the price is justified for the technology you're getting. But most importantly, I've seen the results firsthand, and this skincare tool really does work. If you have the cash to splash and you're in the market for a clinically proven LED mask, then I'd highly recommend it. Who What Wear UK readers can also use code LED30 for a 30% discount.
