What light studies found.
Read fifteen skin-light studies one at a time. Each note explains the treatment, the results and the limits. Related masks are examples of devices that list similar light, not products proved effective by that paper.
- Two sessions or three? A red-mask trialA sham-controlled study found only modest changes.
- Red or amber light for eye-area wrinkles?Both colours were tested at the same dose.

These papers cover light listed by the masks in our directory. Some found small changes or no clear difference. Many tested clinic devices. Sharing a wavelength does not mean a home mask can deliver the same treatment or results.
