Is the LumaLux Face Pro LED Mask by Project E Beauty the best red light therapy mask for anti-aging, skin tightening, and acne?

LumaLux Pro LED Mask: Project E’s LED Mask Reviewed
On this page
Introduction

This is the LumaLux Face Pro LED Light Therapy Mask from Project E Beauty. After testing it in detail, I put it through my research-backed 100-point scoring system that looks at four key areas: fit and ease of use, therapeutic power, coverage quality, and price and peace of mind. At the end, I’ll share the total score, whether you can expect to see benefits, and how this mask compares to some competitors.

Affiliate Disclosure: I received a complimentary product to review. However, my receipt of the product did not influence the outcome of this review. I try to be as fair and critical as possible in any review, and this review reflects my genuine and honest opinion of the product.

Round 1: Fit and Ease of Use

Fit

The LumaLux Face Pro is one of the more comfortable, flexible masks I’ve tested. It’s easy to put on, stays in place, and allows me to talk and breathe without restriction—something that’s not always the case with silicone-style masks.

The flexibility means it can fold up, making it good for travel and less likely to break. Skin contact is generally good across most of the face, though there are slight gaps around the forehead and chin.

If I were being picky, the nose cutout is positioned a little too low. Both my wife and I noticed this. If I move the mask up for better nose placement, the LEDs sit awkwardly under the nostrils, and the strap irritates the ears. Speaking of the strap, it’s integrated into the mask, which is nice, but it’s too long and not adjustable. For smaller heads, this could be an issue.

Fit score: 13/15

Ease of Use

The operation is excellent. The controller has two large, tactile buttons—one for power and one to change modes. It charges via USB-C, and the controller has two ports, allowing you to run both the mask and the optional neck attachment at the same time.

LEDs on the controller indicate how much time is left in your session, and the modes are straightforward: red only, red with near-infrared, or red with blue. This means you can opt out of blue or NIR if you don’t want them.

The manual is decent but light on educational information about light therapy. My biggest complaint here is that the mask is corded, and the cord is short. When worn, it dangles awkwardly into my pocket. A slightly longer cord would have made a big difference.

Ease of Use score: 6.5/10

Round 2: Therapeutic Power

Wavelengths

According to Project E, the LumaLux Face Pro uses five wavelengths across eight modes. I like that they specify what each mode actually includes rather than vaguely labeling something “purple” or “amber.”

Using my spectrometer, I confirmed 463nm blue, 520nm green, 630 nm red, 850 nm near-infrared, and some 1070nm near-infrared (though not all LEDs appear to use the 1070 nm).

This is a very well-rounded set of wavelengths. The red and near-infrared are clinically proven for collagen stimulation, firmness, and reducing fine lines. Blue light helps with acne and eczema. Green supports pigmentation balance. Multiple defined modes make it easy to target specific goals, though the red + NIR mode will likely be most people’s go-to.

Wavelengths score: 8.5/10

Dose / Fluence

I measured the power output and multiplied it by the default 3-minute runtime. The result was 3.8 J/cm². This is slightly below the 5–9 J/cm² sweet spot we consider optimal, but still respectable. Simply running two back-to-back sessions would bring the dose into the ideal range.

To gauge dose, I measured the mask’s output and multiplied by the default 3-minute session length

Dose score: 12/15

Round 2 Total:

Therapeutic Power score: 20.5/25

Round 3: Coverage Quality

LED Count and Design

This mask is outstanding in terms of LED count. It has 200 LEDs, and each LED is quad-chipped. That means four chips inside every LED, giving a total of 800 chips across the mask. No other mask I’ve tested comes close—most range between 200–400 chips, and the next best I’ve seen had about 600. Even better, all four wavelengths are distributed evenly across the face, so you don’t end up with zones overloaded with just one color.

LED Count score: 10/10

Zone Coverage

From the forehead down, coverage is solid. The forehead and temples are well covered with lots of LEDs. Around the eyes, coverage is decent but not perfect—the eye holes are larger than I’d like, which means less light near the eye area.

The nose bridge is another weak spot, though the cheeks and mouth area are well covered. The lips benefit from the smaller mouth cutout compared to many masks, but depending on how you position the mask, coverage may shift. The chin and jawline get some coverage, but not as much as I’d prefer.

Zone Coverage score: 10.5/15

Round 3 Total:

Coverage Quality score: 20.5/25

Round 4: Price and Peace of Mind

Price

The retail price is about $350. With my discount link and code, use code ALEX15 for 15% off: https://aferg.co/projectebeauty. This brings the total to $315. At this price point, it’s very competitive given the number of LEDs, multiple wavelengths, and overall quality. It’s more affordable than many “big brand” masks that don’t offer nearly as much.

Price score: 14/20

Peace of Mind

Project E Beauty is a long-established company with a good reputation. The mask comes with a 60-day return period, which is generous, though the warranty is only one year. I’d prefer to see two years given the investment.

Peace of Mind score: 3/5

Round 4 Total:

Price and Peace of Mind score: 17/25

Overall Score

Adding it all up, the LumaLux Face Pro scores 77.5 out of 100. This is a very strong score and reflects how well-rounded the mask is in terms of comfort, operation, therapeutic wavelengths, LED count, and price.

Will You See Benefits?

Yes, you should. The LumaLux Face Pro delivers all the clinically validated wavelengths at sufficient power to support collagen production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve pigmentation, and help with acne. The dose per session is a little low, but doing longer or back-to-back sessions easily corrects that.

Final Thoughts

The LumaLux Face Pro is a very well-designed mask that performs impressively in nearly every area. The quad-chipped 800 LED design is unmatched. The wavelengths included cover all the key bases for skin health. It’s comfortable, easy to use, and priced attractively compared to competitors. Areas for improvement include a better fit around the nose and eyes, slightly longer treatment times, and a more extended warranty.

Still, for $315, this is one of the best-value masks I’ve reviewed and one I can confidently recommend.

Other Options

  • Higher-Priced Alternative: The Therabody TheraFace Mask offers good coverage and wavelengths but costs nearly double, making the Lumaflex a better value.
  • Comfort & Ease Alternative: The Qure Mask is exceptionally comfortable and also uses five wavelengths. It’s popular, though it only has 160 LED chips.
  • Budget-Friendly Alternative: The Nanoleaf Mask comes in at $250. It has about half the LED count of the LumaLux and fewer wavelengths, but it still performed well in testing.

Conclusion

The LumaLux Face Pro is a rare combination of power, thoughtful design, and affordability. With five proven wavelengths, 800 LED chips, and a retail price that undercuts many competitors, it’s a standout mask in the crowded red light therapy space. If you’re looking for real skin benefits without overspending, this is one of the best options available right now.
