We compared two rechargeable LED light therapy face masks: the INIA Red Light LED Face Mask and the day wolf LED Face Mask.
What we looked at
Wavelength technology, LED count, and price.
The verdict
If you want dual-wavelength red and near-infrared light with 220 LED chips for deeper penetration, the INIA is the pick at £99.99, though it costs £68.07 more. If you would rather pay less for 7 customisable light colour modes with 270 LED chips, the day wolf is the value option, at £31.92.
A £99.99 LED mask combining red and near-infrared light with 220 LEDs.
A £31.92 cordless mask with 7 light colour modes and 270 LEDs.
