As a beauty journalist, I've had the privilege of testing a myriad of top tier beauty products and learned long ago that a hefty price tag isn't always an indicator of efficacy. Sure putting a £300 tub of luxury cream on my vanity is a flex - and don't get me wrong, some deliver brilliant results - but all too often I'm disappointed. There is one product though, that I am adamant is worth the price tag. I wax lyrical about the FAQ 202 Smart Silicone LED Face Mask, a device that I have been using religiously since it launched in 2023. And it's good news for those who are currently in the market for an LED mask that actually works because this next-level gadget is currently included in the Amazon Prime Day sale.
While there are plenty of brilliant beauty deals available on Amazon right now, I consider the sale price of the FAQ 202 Smart Silicone LED Face Mask to be a serious bargain. On an ordinary day, you'd be spending an eye watering £719 not he mask, but thanks to the Amazon Prime Day sale it's now available for £503, that's an impressive 30% off.
Admittedly £500 is still a lot to spend on a new skincare buy, but think of the FAQ 202 Smart Silicone LED Face Mask as an investment piece. While some are quick to judge the effectiveness of at-home LED treatments in comparison to in-clinic salon-grade technology, the FAQ 202 Smart Silicone LED Face Mask has some impressive claims. It promises to reduce wrinkles by 32%, sebum by 18%, and acne by 48%, all while firming, rejuvenating and repairing the skin.
Created by skin tech powerhouse Foreo, the FAQ 202 Smart Silicone LED Face Mask in unlike others on the market which feature only red and/or green and blue light therapy. My go-to boasts seven different wavelengths of LED light and Near Infrared (also known as the ideal wavelength) to penetrate deep beneath the skin's surface to target a range of concerns. For instance, red light combats wrinkles, unevenness, and increases collagen production, while yellow light encourages lymphatic drainage and blue light to targets acne-causing bacteria. As someone who has dealt with acne for over a decade and takes pride in finding acne-safe products that work for my skin type, I was keen to see how much different this mask would make to the latter and I'm pleased to report I've seen a noticeable difference.

My honest review of the FAQ 202 Smart Silicone LED Face Mask
Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'Having used it for the best part of two years, perhaps not as consistently as I'd hoped, I'm now a devotee – so much so, I keep it on my bedside table. While I still get breakouts, the mask has helped to calm the inflammation that comes with acne and helps my skin to heal post-breakout - I feel like it has toned and brightened my skin too. I use the blue, cyan and white light functions to target my problem areas - I love how precise I can be with this. Another win? Comfort levels. It is much more lightweight than other LED masks I have tried out and although it looks bulky in a selfie, it's comparatively slim and feels like a second skin when it's on. And it's wireless, so I can walk around the house and go about my business without being tethered to a plug socket. I've never stuck to an at-home device as religiously as this one, and that is something in itself - I put that down to the ease of use and results - there's no better motivation than good results.'
