Shark CryoGlow Face Mask

Cools the eye sockets nicely. Fun to use.

Love this mask! This LED face mask was great overall, especially the cooling/cryo function. It felt amazing on the skin and noticeably helped reduce puffiness, particularly under my eyes. That feature alone makes this mask stand out from others I’ve tried. I ultimately returned it—not because of performance—but because I decided to invest in a more expensive, FDA-cleared mask instead. That said, this one absolutely did what it claimed, and I was impressed with the results for the price point. I fully plan on repurchasing the Shark mask as a secondary option because the cooling feature is that good. If you’re looking for an effective LED mask with a standout cooling benefit, this is a solid choice.

I bought this mask after using the Renuvalight mask bought online and finding it lacking (awkward strap and the whole mask directly touched the face). The Shark solved all my problems! The over the head strap is extremely comfortable and it makes me want to use it each night. The mask is held away from the skin allowing the lights to work effectively. The main point of contact is two metal cooling pads at your lower eye/upper cheek area. You can adjust the intensity of the cooling or turn it off entirely. I enjoy it and find it to be relaxing. It lasts 3-4 uses before needing to be charged again. I am 46 and have the joy of treating both aging and acne and so far I have enjoyed the “acne clearing” setting. I have had about 40 uses so far and I think I have been seeing less pimples and overall smoother brighter skin. Highly recommend!

I’ve tried a handful of skincare devices over the years, and most end up collecting dust after the novelty wears off. This is one of the few that actually earned a permanent place in my routine. First impressions & design: This definitely looks like a high-end device right out of the box. The build feels thoughtful—more like wearable tech than a gimmicky beauty gadget. The mask has a secure, adjustable fit and comes with a separate controller that makes it easy to switch between treatments without guesswork. What makes this different: The biggest differentiator here is the combination of LED therapy and under-eye cooling. Most masks only focus on light therapy, but this adds a cryotherapy-style element that you can actually feel working. The cooling pads are especially nice after a long day—they noticeably reduce puffiness and make the whole experience feel more like a treatment than a chore. Performance (after consistent use): Like most LED devices, this isn’t instant-gratification skincare—it rewards consistency. After a few weeks of regular use, I started noticing: • Smoother overall skin texture • Less redness and fewer breakouts • A more “even” look to my complexion This aligns with how LED therapy works—red and infrared light help support collagen and skin repair, while blue light targets acne-causing bacteria. The treatment modes are well thought out (anti-aging, acne, maintenance, and under-eye), and the sessions are short enough (around 4–15 minutes) that it’s easy to stay consistent. Ease of use: This is one of the most user-friendly devices I’ve tried. The preset routines take out the guesswork, and the controller/timer setup makes it feel very “plug-and-play.” I also appreciate that you don’t need an app—just put it on and go. Comfort & practicality: It’s comfortable enough to wear through a full session, though it is a bit bulky compared to simpler LED masks. That said, the structure helps it stay in place better than softer silicone versions. Real-world perspective: This isn’t a replacement for professional treatments, but it does feel like a legitimate at-home extension of that kind of care. With consistent use, the improvements are noticeable and build over time rather than fading. A couple of minor drawbacks: • Slightly bulky, so not travel-friendly • Cooling feature adds a faint noise (worth it, in my opinion) • Requires consistency to see results (not a quick fix) Bottom line: There are a lot of LED masks out there, but this one stands out because it actually combines multiple technologies in a way that feels intentional—not gimmicky. The addition of under-eye cooling alone makes it feel more premium and more effective than standard options. If you’re serious about at-home skincare devices and want something you’ll actually stick with, this is a strong investment.

I bought this mask in Oct ‘25 and I use it daily. I’m 57 and get a lot of compliments about my facial appearance but I do a lot of things in combination with this mask. I feel like the 6 minutes “better aging” setting is too short so I do 2 sessions of 6 minutes back to back so 12 minutes total. Also the eye cooling setting is a major negative for me. It actually “bruises” my under eye for some reason so I make sure not to rest the mask on my face completely. I keep it raised a bit therefore I have to just stay in a reclined position while I use it instead of walk around and multi-task and that’s fine. Overall, I think it’s an effective addition to a skincare plan.

I love this mask and it’s pretty effective. Wirecutter rated it highly. Has to be charged about every 4 days and it’s heavy and kind of loud. You can’t wear glasses with it, so can’t multi task well while wearing, but I do like it!
