The safety of the face mask that launched a thousand selfies is now coming into question.
Earlier this month, Neutrogena issued a recall of its popular Light Therapy Acne Mask following reports of “theoretical risk of eye injury.”statement from the brandLight Emitting Diode masks emit varying wavelengths of light that treat different skin concerns. Amber light, for example, helps stimulate collagen and firm skin’s elastin. Red light reduces inflammation and promotes blood circulation. Blue light kills acne-causing bacteria., MD.
Before these masks and other at-home devices hit the beauty market, LED treatments were primarily available at dermatologist’s offices. These in-office procedures are more powerful, can be tailored to each individual skin concern, and last longer, at about 30 minutes. Nussbaum stresses that for any LED treatment to be effective, there needs to be adequate time spent under the light for continuous periods over several weeks.
“One part of LED therapy is just sitting under a light, but the more effective way to use it is to first apply a chemical in the form of a serum or a photosensitizer, and then go under the lights,” says dermatologist and founder of Mariwalla Dermatology, MD. “As a result, physician offices sometimes have more to offer than at-home treatments.”
But in-office treatments can be pricey, ranging anywhere from $150 to $300. These LED masks are cheaper by comparison , require less time commitment at six to 20 minutes for moderate results, and can be used whileDespite the recent recall, experts agree that at-home LED devices are safe for the most part—as long as you pick the right one and protect your eyes. Nussbaum says to choose masks that are labeled as FDA-cleared, and to wear blackout or opaque goggles.
If you’re taking a break from your at-home LED mask, a set of cleansers and retinols can help produce similar effects. Nussbaum recommends salicylic acid cleansers for those with acne-prone skin, while Mariwalla turns to peptides to produce more collagen and address other skin problems.
