Methodology

How we rate LED Face Masks

The meta score (0–100) combines three parts: our editorial rating (50 %), independent test reports (35 %) and ratings from our readers (15 %). If one part is missing, its weight is shared among the others.

The editorial rating draws on manufacturer specifications, independent tests and user experiences. It is made up of 5 criteria with fixed weights:

Light & coverage30 %

LED density and even coverage from forehead to chin, measured rather than advertised irradiance, suitable wavelengths – no claims about effects on the skin without independent evidence

Fit & comfort25 %

Fit on different face shapes, weight, straps, pressure points, warmth on the skin, clear vision and breathing

Controls & battery15 %

Choosing programs, auto shut-off, battery life and charging, app or control unit

Safety & eye protection15 %

Protecting the eyes from bright light, flicker, shut-off, certifications such as medical device status or FDA clearance

Build quality & hygiene15 %

Materials and skin contact, cleaning the inside, durability of straps and connectors, warranty

We rate value for money separately: price deliberately does not count towards the meta score. That keeps the score stable when prices change. For value for money, we compare each model with what this category typically offers at its price.
