In an era where at-home beauty treatments are gaining popularity, Shark Beauty has introduced the CryoGlow LED Face Mask to the UK market. This innovative device combines LED light therapy with cooling technology, promising salon-quality results for a variety of skin concerns. Priced at £299.99, it is the first mask in the UK to offer 'instachill' cold therapy, which can reduce under-eye puffiness in just five minutes. The mask targets fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture, offering users smoother, younger-looking skin within eight weeks. But does this high price tag justify the benefits? Beauty editor Zoe Cripps shares her insights after testing the mask for over three months.

The CryoGlow LED Face Mask represents Shark Beauty’s entry into the competitive UK skincare market. Its unique selling point lies in its integration of cooling technology with LED light therapy, making it stand out from other products. The mask features four distinct modes designed to address specific skin issues:

Blemish Repair mode uses blue, red, and infrared lights to smooth out textured skin and reduce blemishes. Better Aging mode leverages red and infrared lights to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Skin Sustain mode enhances skin radiance and maintains overall skin health. Lastly, Under-eye Revive mode utilizes adjustable cold therapy to de-puff and brighten the eye area. Each mode offers a tailored treatment session ranging from four to eight minutes, ensuring convenience and efficiency.

Zoe found the mask easy to set up and use, requiring only a full battery charge. The 'Instachill' feature proved particularly beneficial for reducing under-eye puffiness, while the mask’s mobility allowed her to multitask during sessions. However, she did encounter some drawbacks, such as a short battery life and fit issues around the eyes. Despite these minor inconveniences, the mask’s effectiveness in improving skin texture and tone was evident within weeks.

After diligently using the CryoGlow mask for three months, Zoe noticed significant improvements in her skin. Her complexion became more even, less blotchy, and less prone to breakouts. The redness caused by rosacea on her cheeks also diminished. Regular use of the anti-ageing red light and blemish-reducing blue light settings led to noticeable changes in skin quality. Zoe found the evening ritual calming and enjoyable, and even her boyfriend became a fan of the blue light setting. Ultimately, Zoe believes the mask’s performance fully justifies its price, making it a worthwhile investment for those seeking effective at-home skincare solutions.
