Should you invest in a red light LED mask or stick to anti-aging creams? The honest answer: they do different jobs, and they work best together.
How a cream works
A cream delivers ingredients to the surface of the skin: moisture, antioxidants, retinoids or sun filters. It acts directly on the skin barrier and the upper layers.
How an LED mask works
A red light LED mask does not add a product. It delivers red light that is absorbed by skin cells and may support their energy and renewal. See the benefits of red light therapy for skin.
Quick comparison
- Hydration and protection: creams and sunscreens
- Cell energy and renewal support: red light
- Effort: a cream takes seconds, a mask takes 10 to 30 minutes
- Sun protection: only sunscreen provides it
The best approach: combine both
Use the mask on clean skin, then apply your serum and cream afterwards. Follow the order in our skincare routine with an LED mask. Never replace sunscreen with a mask.
Which one first?
If you have no routine, start with cleanser, moisturiser and SPF. Add an LED mask such as Lumino when your basics are in place.
