If you’ve been hoping to jump on the LED train, there’s no better time than right now—Black Friday may be over, but Cyber Monday sales are taking off left and right. These masks and tools have been gaining in popularity for their promise to erase fine lines and brighten your skin, and some even treat acne. In the past couple months that I’ve been using red light devices, compliments on my skin have certainly gone up, and my acne spots have healed up faster than ever. There’re a few masks and gadgets on sale (and plenty of other great sales!) that we love to use after testing several, and lucky you, they’re on sale.
A quick primer on how LED therapy works, if you aren’t familiar: Near-infrared light stimulates the proteins collagen and elastin to reduce your wrinkles. Some devices also have a blue light therapy option, which penetrates the top layer of skin to kill acne-causing bacteria, and can reduce inflammation to clear up your skin. Check out our guide to the Best LED Face Masks for more details.

WIRED staffers have been pretty happy using this handy little LED wand to tighten up the skin around their eyes. It’s a manual device with a three-minute treatment you do on a specific area, so it’s perfect if you have a certain spot you want to treat versus your whole face. The wand alone isn’t on sale, but the wand kit is on sale that includes a serum to use with the wand.
I’m currently testing this neck gadget and am a little too excited about it, since neck lines are the biggest area I’d like to treat on my skin. It’s still too early in testing to report results—I’m on week two of testing—but it’s been easy and comfortable to test, and I love that I can wear it while doing my hair or eating a snack since it doesn’t cover my entire face. Like the wand above, Solawave’s sale is for the Kit that includes a serum that works with the neck and chest mask.
LED Face Mask Deals
Omnilux is similar to our top LED mask pick, with a soft form that you essentially wrap around your face. It’s comfortable and fairly affordable, and the only reason it’s not a top pick is that it doesn’t have a blue light mode. If you aren’t worried about acne, though, this is a great time to buy this more affordable mask, especially since it’s extra affordable right now. Add the mask to your cart to see the discount kick in.
This mask does it all: it’s comfortable, has the shortest treatment time with just three minutes, and not only has both a red light mode and a blue light mode, but has a combined mode to let you get both lights at the same time. It’s also the biggest discount on an LED mask you can find right now, so don’t miss out getting this great mask on sale. Like the Omnilux above, you’ll need to add this one to your cart to see the sale.
My overall favorite LED mask is soft and flexible, easy to wrap around my large noggin, and packs both a red light mode and a blue light mode so you can treat lines and acne as you please. You won’t be able to do it at the same time like with the SpectraLite, though. LED Esthetics is usually the cheaper choice to get both features, but these two masks are a pretty similar price right now, so you may want to go for the mask that can do two in one while you can. But if you prefer a soft mask, this is a great choice with both options.
This mask is the most expensive one we’ve tried. It promises results much faster, as early as two weeks, but I’ve only just started testing it so the jury is still out. It’s got a good discount, which is exciting since it has such a high price tag usually. It’s expensive thanks to the four different red lightwaves it uses—most only use two—to improve your skin. It does cover your mouth and nose more than other masks, but it’s still plenty easy to breathe with it on.
The TheraFace Mask is another mask we’re currently testing that’s on the expensive side—thankfully it’s also on sale. What sets it apart from other LED masks is the added vibration therapy, which massages pressure points around the eyes, browline, and scalp. WIRED reviewer Boutayna Chokrane says it feels less like skincare and more like a therapeutic retreat she can experience from home.
