Let me start by saying this LED mask has become my nightly self-care ritual. The first time I strapped it on, I felt like a futuristic skincare warrior - those bright blue and red lights pulsing against my skin actually made me excited to tackle my acne and fine lines.

The red light therapy is no joke. After two weeks of 15-minute sessions, the crepey texture around my eyes smoothed out noticeably. My husband even asked if I got Botox (score!). The blue light works wonders on stubborn chin breakouts - it's like having a dermatologist zap my zits without the expensive office visits.

Yes, it's heavier than expected. Those little silicone nose pads do leave temporary marks (pro tip: I put cotton rounds under them for cushioning). But here's the thing - when something makes my skin glow like I've had eight hours of sleep (when I definitely haven't), I'll tolerate some minor discomfort.

The neck attachment surprised me most. At 35, I'm starting to see 'tech neck' lines, and after consistent use, they've softened significantly. It's awkward to wear while scrolling through TikTok, but watching my décolletage wrinkles fade makes it worth looking ridiculous for 20 minutes.

If you're expecting magic after one use, adjust your expectations. But stick with it - by week three, my makeup applies smoother, my pores look tighter, and that stubborn melasma patch has lightened. Just don't make my mistake and look directly at the blue light - temporary disco ball vision is real!
