If you've been hoping to jump on the LED train, there's no better time than right now. These masks and tools have been gaining in popularity for their promise to erase fine lines and brighten your skin, and some even treat acne. In the past couple months that I've been using red light devices, compliments on my skin have certainly gone up, and my acne spots have healed up faster than ever. There're a few masks and gadgets we've found that we love to use after testing several, and lucky you, they're on sale.
A quick primer on how LED therapy works, if you aren't familiar: Near-infrared light stimulates the proteins collagen and elastin to reduce your wrinkles.

Omnilux is similar to our top LED mask pick, with a soft form that you essentially wrap around your face. It's comfortable and fairly affordable, and the only reason it's not a top pick is that it doesn't have a blue light mode.
