JOVS 4D Light Therapy Mask review: Testing the red light trend

Article content I can't speak to the efficacy of the mask because I didn't see a significant change. That being said, I went into testing with, if I may so myself, pretty good skin (I'm also in my mid-thirties, with minimal signs of aging). I don't have any skin issues, so was testing this mask more for comfort and overall use. However, I will continue to use the mask to prolong my 'good skin.' The mask is easy to use and comfortable to wear. Considering the mask needs to be worn consistently, these are important factors. Article content Article content Pros and cons of the JOVS 4D mask Article content Pros: Ease of use. It's so easy to charge. The mask comes with a USB-C charger that I connect to my computer. I use the mask daily and need to recharge every few weeks. It's cordless, so I can continue my day while wearing it — aside from speaking clearly — that's muffled. It's simple to put on and comfortable to wear. The controller has an on and off button and an intensity button. It's simple to select your preferred setting. It's also a cinch to clean, you just need to wipe it down with a damp cloth. Article content Cons: It's expensive and not sold in CAD. I prefer when shopping experiences are Canadian-centric and I don't need to convert currency in the checkout process. Also, results are going to vary, so it's a big investment with an unknown outcome. There isn't any eye coverage, so another unknown is how it could work on the under-eyes. It's not a con, but a note: make sure you don't fasten too tight so you can breathe easily while using the mask. Article content Article content How it feels: It feels like it looks — like you're paying homage to Jim Carrey in The Mask. It's a full mask that lights up bright red — it's not subtle. It's comfortable enough to wear for 20 minutes or so. It's soft and I haven't had any issues with it or my skin while testing it. Always try the device for a minute before committing to the full duration of the setting you're opting for. Article content How to use: There a nine variations to use the mask based on the three different settings of both the light strength and time duration. You can opt for the soothing, standard or deep mode light intensity and 10, 15 or 20-minute timed duration. The JOVS website provides the following guide on how to use the different combinations of settings: Article content
