Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask

Good Housekeeping UK's 190-person panel scored it 92 out of 100, the highest of 24 masks, after at least four weeks of use. CNET, Oprah Daily and Cosmopolitan all name it best overall, and Allure gave it the 2026 Best of Beauty award for LED skin devices.

Dreame Chrona LED Light Therapy Mask

Mashable's Leah Stodart used it for two months and reports smooth, even-toned skin, barely a breakout and a slight drop in cheek redness. CNET picked it as best cordless. It has less testing behind it than the premium masks, and no panel score yet.

Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask

160 tri-wick LEDs give 480 light sources across blue 415 nm, red 630 nm and near-infrared 830 nm. Wirecutter cites 73 mW/cm2 of red light, higher than any other mask here with a published figure. CNET notes the chill pads block light under the eyes while cooling runs.

Dreame Chrona LED Light Therapy Mask

280 quad-chip LEDs cover blue 465 nm, green 530 nm, yellow 590 nm, red 630 nm and near-infrared 850 nm. CNET lists irradiance from 35 to 59 mW/cm2 and Mashable cites 40 mW/cm2, both above the CurrentBody and Omnilux masks' 30.

Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask

The shell sits off the skin, so Oprah Daily's testers found it never got too hot, and Wirecutter's testers 'loved virtually everything about the experience'. Byrdie calls the design bulky, and at 1.5 lb it's one of the heavier masks here.

Dreame Chrona LED Light Therapy Mask

At 338 g it's the lightest mask here, made of flexible liquid silicone that sits about 1 cm off the skin. CNET likes the border around the eyes and the wide viewing window, and Mashable packed it in a duffle bag for beach trips.

Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask

Battery powered, with a remote cabled to the mask and four programs that run 4 to 8 minutes. Wirecutter, Good Housekeeping and Who What Wear all mention fan noise when the cooling pads run, and Good Housekeeping UK's panel wanted more warning before the battery ran low.

Dreame Chrona LED Light Therapy Mask

Truly wireless: the battery clicks onto the headband with magnets, the remote is cordless, a headband button cycles modes, and it remembers your last setting. A spare battery comes in the box. Mashable's deputy shopping editor got about 45 minutes per battery against the 60 Dreame lists.

Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask

Red, blue and near-infrared programs for aging, breakouts and maintenance, plus clip-on under-eye cooling with three chill levels that runs for 5 to 15 minutes. No other mask here pairs LED light with cooling.

Dreame Chrona LED Light Therapy Mask

Five light modes, three brightness levels and 5, 10 or 15-minute sessions. CNET notes there's no cooling or massage feature like the Shark or Therabody masks offer.

Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask

SharkNinja holds FDA 510(k) clearance K242796 for the CryoGlow and backs it with a 2-year limited warranty. Amazon sells it directly.

Dreame Chrona LED Light Therapy Mask

Dreame is a major robot vacuum brand but new to skincare, and the Amazon listing had only 68 ratings in October 2026. Dreame and CNET both describe it as FDA-cleared, though we could not find its 510(k) number. A 2-year warranty is a plus.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask

+ Strengths
  • Highest score of 24 masks in Good Housekeeping UK's test, 92 out of 100, after a 190-person panel used them for at least four weeks
  • Red, blue and near-infrared light plus clip-on under-eye cooling at three chill levels, the feature Byrdie's tester says justifies the cost
  • The shell sits off your face, so Oprah Daily found it never gets too hot, and it runs on a rechargeable battery with no wall plug
− Weaknesses
  • The cooling fan whirs. Wirecutter, Good Housekeeping and Who What Wear all flag the noise
  • CNET points out that the chill pads cover the under-eye area, so that skin gets no LED light during cooling sessions
  • At 1.5 lb with a hard shell, it's bulky to store and awkward to pack, according to Byrdie and Cosmopolitan
Key flaw: It's loud and bulky.

Dreame Chrona LED Light Therapy Mask

+ Strengths
  • Mashable's Leah Stodart wore it for two months and says her skin stayed smooth and even-toned, with barely a breakout in that time
  • Truly wireless, remote included: the battery clicks onto the headband, and a spare battery comes in the box
  • Five light colors, three brightness levels and 5, 10 or 15-minute sessions, with CNET listing irradiance up to 59 mW/cm²
− Weaknesses
  • Battery life falls short of the claim. Mashable's deputy shopping editor got about 45 minutes from a battery rated for 60
  • No cooling pads or massage, which CNET calls out next to pricier masks
  • Its blue light runs at 465 nm, while the Shark, Therabody and Dr. Dennis Gross masks use 415 nm for acne
Key flaw: Dreame is new to skincare, and not much testing sits behind the Chrona yet.

The Verdict

Our Bottom Line

The Shark CryoGlow is a pick in nine of our sources, and four of them rank it first. Good Housekeeping UK ran the biggest test we found: 190 panellists tested 24 masks between them, each for at least four weeks, and the CryoGlow topped the table at 92 out of 100. CNET, Oprah Daily and Cosmopolitan also name it best overall. Allure gave it the 2026 Best of Beauty award for LED skin devices, and Wirecutter made it a top pick after testing 11 devices.
