They may look like something straight out of a movie featuring robots who live on another planet, but the best LED face masks we have access to today are just another example of how high-tech beauty has become.

Yes, sheet masks and even the peel-off kind are still prevalent in most skin care routines, but overall, the concept of masking has expanded exponentially. And in what feels like definitive proof that we live in the future, some of the best face masks are now goo-free LED formats that promise even bigger results than their messier counterparts.

I decided to order and try Qure LED Face Mask since I am in my early 40's and figured my skin could use a beauty boost! So I ordered it and it literally came within 3 days. Delivery was QUICK! I was excited to try it so I went straight to my bedroom, unboxed it, and put it on for the recommended 3-minutes.

The first thing I noticed was how comfortable it was! It perfectly fit onto my face, and I was able to walk around with it because it's cordless, which is great.

I continued using it for the week and by day 7 I literally looked ten years younger. I was in shock when I compared my before and after photos. I swear by red light therapy and the Qure Mask and it absolutely gets the #1 spot on our list. The photos above speak for themselves.

The Qure Light Therapy Mask is providing a reliable, youthful boost to millions of satisfied customers — and the reviews prove it.

And while countless other beauty brands have tried to replicate it, Qure LED Mask remains the gold standard for supporting instant skin smoothing and tightening results.

Don’t be fooled by the blue design—HigherDose’s Red Light Therapy Face Mask is all about the benefits of red and near-infrared light. Its 62 bulbs go to work in 10- to 20-minute glow sessions that the brand says can even be done while practicing yoga thanks to an extra head strap that keeps it firmly and comfortably in place. “It’s super lightweight and surprisingly easy to pack, which I appreciate, since I’m always traveling,” says our tester. “It even comes with extra plugs for international travel.”

What reviewers say: I am obsessed with this! This is the highest quality red light and near-infrared LED technology I have ever used. I love that it has four adjustable straps to fit really snugly and comfortably on your face. I also love that it is cordless, so you can wear your mask while making breakfast, doing yoga, sitting outside, etc. It feels so high quality and truly boots your mood and enhances your natural glow. —Mikayla C., reviewer at Amazon

Pros: Comfortable, portable, cordless

Cons: Expensive, only one mode

LED lights: 630nm red light, 830nm near-infrared light

Target areas: Face

Treatment time: 10–20 minutes

It’s hard not to feel like a superhero while wearing the Dr. Dennis Gross SpectraLite FaceWare Pro mask. Regardless of your skin concerns, this FDA-cleared device has got you covered with 100 red LED lights and 62 LED blue lights to encourage collagen product, smoothness, even tone, and stave off acne-causing bacteria. There are three different light settings to choose from; feel free to use it in red mode, blue mode, or in combination. “As a busy mom to four, I love how quick this mask’s treatment time is—even I can spare three minutes per day,” says contributor Brigitt Earley. “And even though it looks heavy, it’s actually pretty comfortable on. I have no trouble multi-tasking.”

What reviewers say: I noticed a difference in my forehead wrinkles immediately after the first treatment. I prefer setting 3 which tackles wrinkles and acne. My skin is looking amazing and I’m only using it once a day. —Joanne, reviewer at Dermstore

Pros: Super-quick three-minute treatment, multiple modes, adjustable fit

Cons: Expensive (get ready to see that a lot)

LED lights: 630–700 nanometers (nm) red light, 400–470nm blue light, 800–1200nm infrared light, 590–630nm amber light

Target areas: Face

Treatment time: 3 minutes

The Angela Caglia Rose Quartz Crystal LED Mask combines two skin care treatments into one: crystal superstar rose quartz and LED lights (132 total red and blue lights, to be exact). Not only is it pretty to look at, but it offers a line-smoothing, firming, tone-evening experience that feels especially spa-like. “I was a little bit skeptical at first, but after about 6 weeks of consistent use, I’m totally sold,” says our tester. “I don’t necessarily have fewer wrinkles, but there’s definitely a glow I didn’t have before.”

What reviewers say: I really love how comfortable this mask is and the features (crystals) and of course the color!!!! It’s easy to use. I saw results pretty quickly, and the wide mouth is great in the morning for my coffee, lol! I only wish it had a strap or something on the bottom part; I find myself holding it closer to my skin but I still love it. I feel like Angela is a genius! —Randi B., reviewer at Saks Fifth Avenue

Pros: Travel-friendly pouch, both blue and red light modes

Cons: Expensive

LED lights: 630nm red light, 465nm blue light

Target areas: Face

Treatment time: 10 minutes

The Shani Darden by Déesse PRO LED Light Mask is the most expensive on our list, and for good reason: In addition to being jam-packed with 238 LED red, blue, and near-infrared lights to address signs of aging and acne, it comes with a neck piece to help address tech-neck lines and sagging.

What reviewers say: My skin looks awesome and youthful. I get complimented on my skin 100% all the time, and this is a major key player. It’s expensive but this adds up to every time you pay for this and now you can have this at home. —LuvlyJ, reviewer at Sephora

Pros: Neck coverage, multiple modes

Cons: Very expensive

LED lights: Red, blue, and near-infrared
