Whether you have sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, normal-to-combination skin or simply love a trendy product (ahem, pore-shrinking PMD Wave Pro), you’ve probably realized—like I have—that there’s no one right beauty routine. We all have different needs, but I have found one product, in general, that people of all ages and skin types tend to rave about (and no, it’s not going on Accutane in the hopes of experiencing Accutane nose). I’m talking red-light therapy masks, like the Omnilux Contour Face LED device ($395), which promise to create smoother-looking skin with little-to-no effort. While many experts feel more research is needed on red light therapy, the current results are promising—and the anecdotal experiences I’ve had (and my mom’s had, as I’ll share in a bit) make it well worth trying in my book.
Now, I know what you’re thinking…there are TONS of beauty devices on the market that claim to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, so what makes this one so special? The Omnilux Contour Face is an FDA-cleared device that not only has hype around it, but it also has impressive results, especially for people with aging skin. In fact, my 61-year-old mother put it to the test over the course of 12 weeks to see if it’s actually worth it—specifically, if it can target those fine lines and wrinkles. Read on for her full review of the red-light therapy device, from the good to the bad and the before and after photos.
