UKLASH LED mask review: 'A quality, at-home treatment that boasts benefits at an affordable price point'

With the buzz around LED masks continuing to grow, it leaves many wondering whether they're actually worth the investment - so, naturally, our beauty writer puts the UKLASH LED mask to the ultimate test.

There's a new candidate in town competing to earn a spot as one of the best red light therapy devices on the market, meet the UKLASH LED Dual Light Pro-Therapy Face Mask. The best LED mask in question claims to deliver an array of red light therapy benefits, such as a smoother, firmer and more balanced skin tone, while also boasting a semi-affordable price tag compared to its competitors.

With that said, it's only natural that I put through rigorous testing before you decide to invest, to see whether it's actually worth parting ways with your pay check for. With three months of testing the mask under my wing, here are my honest thoughts.

UKLASH LED Dual Light Pro-Therapy Face Mask review

First impressions

Aside from it arriving in a sleek box and with a handy instructions manual (as you might expect), the UKLASH LED mask also boasts a few handy additions - at no extra cost. First and foremost, the removable silicone eye protectors allow you to customise the wearability of the mask, while also adding an element of protection for your eyes. It is also incredibly travel-friendly, as it is equipped with a soft drawstring pouch and four international plug adaptors.

As for the appearance of the mask itself, it has been crafted from a soft silicone that allows the mask to sit close to your face for comfortable wear. For those who are sceptical of it feeling claustrophobic, it's also designed with two cut-out for your eyes, a cut-out at the mouth and a flexible nose cut-out. Its minimalist design and mint green hue also deserve a special mention, purely for aesthetic reasons.

Unlike other LED masks, this offering only has a single adjustable strap at the back. Admittedly, this does make it easier to position the mask on your own face, however it does also cause the mask to occasionally slip during wear. I must hail its lightweight nature (which I weighed in at under 200g), this means you can wear the mask as you undertake other tasks around the house.

How does it perform?

The question we've all been waiting for, how does it perform? The mask features only one light treatment setting, however it does use both red light and near-infrared light to harness results. Speaking of, it doesn't claim to have a niche USP, in terms of benefits for the skin. That said, similar to other competitors, it does claim to improve the appearance of fine lines and elasticity in the skin - plus, balances texture and overall skin tone.

Despite its less eye-watering price tag than others, the brand certainly hasn't scrimped on its quality. For context, I have blemish-prone, combination skin that tends to look dull. Therefore, my main aims were to use light therapy for acne, to minimise pigmentation and to unveil a brighter appearance.

After consistent use of the mask, I noticed it has reduced my post-blemish scarring, hormonal blemishes do not appear as frequently and it also helps to heal those that do appear quicker. Additionally, it helped to even and brighten my complexion, making my skin appear plumper and more radiant - plus, enhancing the effectiveness of my other skincare products.

I found it to be incredibly user-friendly, thanks to its lightweight nature and quite literally only requiring a click of a button to operate it. Each treatment session only lasts for 10 mins, which is highly convenient as it doesn't take much time out of your day - in fact, I found this made it easy to stay on top of treatments.

It is worth noting that I did come across a few negatives during my testing experience. While I loved the idea of the removable eye protectors, this was my main bug-bear as I found them to be very uncomfortable and caused the mask to sit oddly on my face. However, these are optional when wearing the mask so it can be avoided. Additionally, while the single adjustable strap at the back made it easy to put the mask on, it didn't offer enough support so caused it to occasionally slip - especially when not laying down during the treatment.

How does it compare to other LED masks?

Delving into the world of red light therapy is a first for the UKLASH brand, having only launched the mask back in March 2025 - making it one of the best new beauty launches of the year. With that in mind, we can only commend them for producing a quality LED face mask that serves as stellar competition to others available.

As a firm fan of the Omnilux Contour Face LED Mask, this mask had a lot to live up to. Much to my surprise, the UKLASH LED mask boasts many similarities to the Omnilux option, but is £150 cheaper. Aesthetics-wise, they both have flexible silicone designs and they have identical rechargeable battery controllers. In fact, I actually preferred the fit and comfortability of the UKLASH LED mask slightly more (when not equipped with the eye protectors), especially around my nose region.

As for the nitty gritty technical aspects, both masks only offer one light treatment setting that lasts 10 minutes and have a comparable number of medical-grade LEDS (Omnilux has 132, whereas UKLASH has 112). Only featuring one light treatment setting is not unusual, as we found this to be the case in our SENSSE Professional LED Face Mask review. They also both utilise similar wavelengths of red light and near-infrared light, Omnilux boasts 633nm of red light and 830nm of near-infrared, while UKLASH offers 630nm of red light and 830nm of near-infrared.

Aside from the technical aspects, I also found them to offer similar results, helping to keep my hormonal blemishes at bay, evening my skin tone and giving my complexion a brighter appearance. However, UKLASH does earn extra points for its travel-friendly extras, as previously mentioned.

UKLASH LED Dual Light Pro-Therapy Face Mask review - our verdict

Overall, I'd say this is a quality, at-home light therapy treatment that boasts skincare benefits that rival its luxurious competitors, at a more affordable price point. Not only is it easy to use, its quick 10-minute treatments effortlessly slot into your weekly routine, while also delivering impressive results - I'd even go as far as to say that introducing this LED mask into my skincare regime has transformed my complexion.

It is worth noting that it's a fairly simplified version of a red light therapy mask, it doesn't arrive with the bells and whistles of some others out there. However, I believe if it's not broke, don't fix it - and sometimes you just can't beat simplicity.

The fact that this mask is incredibly user-friendly and is £150-£250 cheaper than some other options on the market, I'd recommend it as a great option for red light therapy beginners. It's also a stellar option for those whose skin concerns include dull complexions, prone to blemishes and hyperpigmentation.
