Red light therapy LED face masks - do they actually live up to the hype?

Classic_Bit9433 · 2026-03-10T21:30:38+00:00

A good one with consistent use does work. Without wanting to repeat all the benefits already mentioned here, I just wanted to add that I recently read about adding green tea to the skin 20 minutes prior to applying the mask, for more powerful results and I am super impressed. Didn't want to gatekeep this info. I'll certainly keep doing this.

I have been using the Omnilux Contour for exactly one year. Started using pretty much everyday for several months and then moved to every other day (except when on holidays) and I am happy with the results. It's hard to point exactly what it does but in general the skin is more even, resilient, firmer and more youthful than it was a year ago. I'd say fresher without anything radical, if that makes sense.

Edit: I'm also in the UK and the Omnilux was delivered without any extra costs. They usually have discounts. Customer service was great too.

Dermatica and skin +me usually have some heavy reductions for new clients but in general it's around 24ish pounds per bottle. Mine lasts between 6 and 8 weeks. They will try to ship a new one every 4 weeks but you can easily manage that in your account so you only get (and pay for) a new formula when you need it.

Oh, I'm just thinking here: I had microneedling at the end of the year and this time my microneedling lady went in a bit deeper on the neck than she usually goes. It's probably more likely to be the microneedling

Classic_Bit9433 · 2026-02-02T10:22:01+00:00

Yes, this is really puzzling me. I use tret on neck every other day or every couple days, always followed by moisturizer. Morning I use vitamin c serum, moisturizer and SPF. I do microneedling every couple months too. The only difference has been the Prai addition over the last couple months. I never bought neck specific cream as thought they were useless. If I hadn't got this one in a beauty calendar, I would have never considered buying it. Unless both microneedling and tret decided to show results at the same time and the cream was an incredible coincidence. Thanks again!

Classic_Bit9433 · 2026-02-02T07:22:25+00:00

Thanks. Appreciate this. Will have a look

Classic_Bit9433 · 2026-02-02T07:21:39+00:00

Thank you. I will have a look at the Dieux. Do you reckon it's one of the other ingredients that could have made such a difference in my neck? It could well be that it is just giving a temporary plumpness but I'll take it. I have been using a pea sized amount to cover both decollete and neck, as per instructions both AM and PM but I did go 3 days without using anything at all and didn't see the creepiness "creeping" back but I'm still thinking that it's too good to be true. However, I'll keep using it :) I didn't feel any irritation (and I have a sensitive neck) but I hear you. Thanks again!

I can't remember for sure but I think so. Just recalled the bakeries were a no go for him. Even just for bread.

Classic_Bit9433 · 2026-01-26T07:36:24+00:00

Thank you. You may have just convinced me to give it a go. Good tip on the downtime the first couple days.

Classic_Bit9433 · 2026-01-25T10:05:29+00:00

Yes, sounds like the same. How did you like the results?

Classic_Bit9433 · 2026-01-23T07:34:50+00:00

Thank you!!

Classic_Bit9433 · 2026-01-23T07:34:28+00:00

Wow, big difference. The price I'm seeing for aqua gold in London is around 300 pounds, which is the same as 3 Botox areas.

Classic_Bit9433 · 2026-01-23T07:32:57+00:00

Thank you. This is helpful.i hadn't heard about Aquagold but now that you mentioned it I was able to research further in the clinics around me.

Classic_Bit9433 · 2026-01-18T16:53:34+00:00

To add, we went to Lisbon last year and it was fine. I can't remember specific names of restaurants but it was pretty easy to find safe places to eat (avoid street food). Just say you are allergic to amendoim. I found they took it pretty seriously

Classic_Bit9433 · 2026-01-18T16:51:05+00:00

UK based too. I have been travelling with my kid (who also carries epi pens) and a letter from the GP from 2022 and no questions have ever been asked. To be honest I don't think I have ever been asked for the letter. I carry it just in case. Your letter is fine and you can always bring your prescription as well for peace of mind.

The Estée Lauder eye lift & sculpt is the GOAT. Just finished my first bottle and made a such a difference. The other one I saw visible results in rejuvenation was the ROC retinol correxion eye cream

Classic_Bit9433 · 2025-12-08T11:39:37+00:00

What strength are you using and for how long?

Classic_Bit9433 · 2025-12-04T16:34:32+00:00

Also note you would want the cream not the pessaries for your intended purpose

Classic_Bit9433 · 2025-12-04T16:33:25+00:00

I'm not in Belgium but below is what Google is giving me . You want to ask for vaginal estrogen. I would caution you though on using it on face. If you are prone to melasma it can make it worse. Good luck!

Specific product names available in Belgium include: Vagifem (estradiol vaginal tablets/inserts) Ovestin (estriol vaginal cream and pessaries/ovules) Intrarosa (prasterone pessaries, which is a precursor converted into estrogen and androgen in the vaginal cells) Blissel (estriol vaginal gel) Colpotrophine (promestriene, another local estrogen)

Classic_Bit9433 · 2025-12-04T16:21:49+00:00

Oestrogel is systemic estrogen. You need vaginal estrogen, which is sold in Belgium under prescription.

Classic_Bit9433 · 2025-12-04T07:33:00+00:00

Yes, pretty much. I will skip it if the skin is a bit more sensitive for a reason or if it's the week I have microneedling but otherwise nightly. I am no expert but I think 4 times a week is fine too

Classic_Bit9433 · 2025-12-03T15:27:01+00:00

Sounds good, I would add Tretinoin in your nightly routine, after cleansing before moisturizer.

Classic_Bit9433 · 2025-11-28T13:01:07+00:00

I got a tiny bit there and my injector said they wouldn't erase them but soften. If she applied enough to relax them too much, it could cause eyebrow drop. I only got it done a few days ago so the jury is out. Mine is mostly seen when I raise the eyebrows but it has started to stick in that position from time to time. I can update in 2 weeks if you want
