Ulike ReGlow LED Face Mask Review: Is It Worth the Splurge?
The light therapy device boasts four modes to target wrinkles, dullness, acne, and skin firmness.
Reported by Women's Health Magazine.
Red light therapy used to live exclusively in dermatology offices and upscale spas. Now? It's everywhere—Amazon, Sephora, Ulta—and the market is genuinely crowded. According to Women's Health Magazine, editors have been stress-testing LED face masks since 2018, and brands like Shark Beauty, Qure, and Dr. Dennis Gross have become go-to recommendations. The latest contender worth your attention: the Ulike Reglow Face Mask, which comes from the company behind the wildly popular Ulike Air3 laser hair removal device (currently 27 percent off).
What sets the Reglow apart is its range of four distinct light wavelengths, each targeting different skin goals. The Glow setting combines yellow (590nm), red (630nm), and far-infrared (830nm) to brighten and even tone—a 2025 randomized controlled trial showed this combo effectively reduces pores, wrinkles, and sun damage. The Firm mode zeros in on collagen with red and far-infrared wavelengths for plumping. Rejuvenate tackles hyperpigmentation with yellow and infrared. And Clear uses blue light (465nm) to kill acne bacteria. Most competitors offer one or two wavelengths, max. This is legitimately different.
The Comfort Factor (and the Catch)
After three weeks of testing, the device proved surprisingly wearable—plush padding around the eyes, an adjustable head strap, and a hardshell design that doesn't leave marks. You can actually watch TV or scroll TikTok while wearing it, thanks to silicone cushioning that protects your eyes from the bright LEDs. The real genius move? It covers your lips, so you're not buying a separate tool. Dermatologist Kseniya Kobets, MD, confirms that lip skin's thinness makes visible results easier to spot. One caveat: hardshell masks don't suit every face shape. Anyone with a prominent nose bridge or wider face might find the fit awkward—worth considering before you commit.
Usage is straightforward: three to five sessions weekly, with each treatment running five to eight minutes depending on the mode. You can stack modes (up to 20 minutes total) to hit multiple concerns simultaneously. At the current sale price of under $299, that breaks down to $1.92 per session in year one, dropping to under a dollar by year two. The device has a memory function that remembers your last mode, plus a built-in rechargeable battery that eliminates cord drama. One tester's favorite? The Glow setting nailed brightness; Clear helped with breakouts but missed hormonal acne entirely.
This is a legitimate investment in consistency, not a miracle fix—which means the real payoff depends on whether you'll actually use it.
