I suffer from pretty severe acne and this mask lessens the outbreaks and helps them heal more quickly. I use the setting that emits both blue light (anti-bacterial) and red light (healing) at the same time and it’s a total time-saver that I can wear while hanging around. (Bonus: my husband now thinks I’m in the Avengers.) After two years I can also say that this is a tool that is built to last.” Brownbaby06

The worst thing about it is that it holds a charge for so long that when it runs out of battery every 9 or so months sometimes it takes me a couple days to find the charging cable, haha. I was always worried about the silicone bristles falling off, but mine is still in great shape. Seriously, buy this, your skin will be happy about it.” Ktchi
