How We Test

Beauty tech is an investment. We put in the hours so you don't waste your money.

Our reviews are not based on press releases or spec sheets alone. We physically test products in real-home environments, integrating them into actual skincare routines to see how they perform over time.

What We Look For in Devices

1

Wavelength Accuracy & Power

Does it deliver the wavelengths (nm) it claims? Is the irradiance strong enough to be effective but safe for home use?

2

Comfort & Fit

Heavy masks drift; tight straps pinch. We test fit on different face shapes and check for eye pressure.

3

Build Quality & Battery

Does the charge last for a full week of treatment? Are the cables sturdy? Does the controller feel cheap?

4

Ease of Cleaning

Hygiene is critical. We rate how easy it is to wipe down silicone surfaces after use.

What We Look For in Serums

1

Texture & Slip

For conductive gels, slip is key. For serums, we look for non-sticky finishes that layer well.

2

Ingredient Safety

Crucial for LED users. We check for photosensitizing agents like high-strength retinols or acids that might irritate under light.

3

Hydration Levels

Light therapy can sometimes be drying. We prioritize serums that boost moisture barrier retention.
