Shark CryoGlow Mask and the LED Devices to Wear It Alongside

The Shark CryoGlow mask is the brand's first move into skincare, pairing red, blue and deep infrared light with under-eye cooling. Here are the other LED devices, sculpting tools and serums I would build a routine around it.

Shark spent years making vacuums and air stylers, so its first step into skincare in February 2025 got attention. The company introduced CryoGlow as its first consumer solution in the skincare category, and the Shark CryoGlow mask is the one I would start with here. The brand calls it MedSpa-inspired and says it combines red, blue and deep infrared light with under-eye cooling. The iQLED technology uses interlocking tri-wick LEDs for coverage without gaps or hot spots, and InstaChill offers three chill levels that the brand says visibly tighten the under-eye area in minutes. It has four treatment modes, and this Celestial Skies color is the limited-edition one.

The rest of the row shows how crowded LED has become. Dr. Dennis Gross SpectraLite FaceWare Pro is an FDA-cleared mask with 100 red and 62 blue LEDs and a three-minute session. Omnilux Contour Face uses 132 LEDs of red and near-infrared light, and the Omnilux Men Face mask is the same idea sized for men's skin. HigherDOSE Red Light Face Mask is cordless, made with flexible medical-grade silicone, and held on with three straps. The HigherDOSE Neck mask brings the same red and near infrared light below the jaw. Dr. Dennis Gross LipWare Pro is a small device with 56 red LEDs just for the lips, and the NuFACE Trinity+ Wrinkle Reducer Attachment snaps onto the Trinity+ device, which is sold separately.

A quick test: start on clean, dry skin and follow the maker's timing exactly. If you use strong actives or have a skin condition, run any light device by your dermatologist first.

LED masks and devices

Cooling tools and sculpting wands

Light is only one part of a device shelf, and the second grid is where I would look for the feel-good tools. Shark Depuffi is a gua sha inspired shape with three hot and cold temperature levels, made for under the eyes, cheekbones and jawline. It sits nicely next to the mask because both lean on temperature. Shark FacialPro Glow is a bigger commitment, a hydro-powered at-home facial system with exfoliating and Depuffi attachments, and the brand calls it ten benefits in ten minutes. NuFACE FIX MicroWand is a slim microcurrent wand for under the eyes, lips and lines, and it comes with a lightweight serum. Shani Darden Facial Sculpting Wand uses sound wave technology, and THOME The Glow Signature and Twenty Up are ultrasound devices, the second one aimed at blemish-prone skin. The Lifting Effect Ridoki Roller is the low-tech pick, a spiky roller with an acupressure tip for face massage. Dr. Dennis Gross Pro Facial Steamer uses micro-steam to hydrate the skin.

Pairing tip: cold tools in the morning when your face feels puffy, warm or steam in the evening when you want to slow down.

What I would skip: stacking three powered tools in one sitting. Pick the one that matches your goal that day and let the skin rest.

Serums that sit under the light

LED works on bare skin, so the serum you pick should be light, quick to absorb and easy to wipe clean before a session. The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a lightweight, fragrance free option for firmness. Medik8 Liquid Peptides is a multi-peptide serum with 13 peptides, and the brand says it diminishes expression lines in as fast as 10 minutes. Torriden 5D Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a watery, dewy hydrator with panthenol and allantoin. rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid is a gel serum for plumping over time. Experiment Super Saturated Serum has 30 percent glycerin and polyglutamic acid for a juicy, barrier-minded layer. Caudalie VinoHydra uses hyaluronic acid and grape water. Dieux Deliverance is a peptide and antioxidant serum with niacinamide, and it is the one to pick if redness bothers you. Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin 10/10 Barrier Boost is a weightless milky serum with ten molecular weights of hyaluronic acid and ectoin.

Pairing tip: apply serum after your light session unless the device instructions say otherwise, so nothing sits between the LEDs and your skin.

What I would skip: a new strong active on the same night you start a new device. Change one thing at a time so you can tell what is working.

Serums to wear under LED

Building a routine around one device

To choose from this edit, decide what you want the routine to do. For a full face light session with a cooling extra, the Shark CryoGlow mask is the clear anchor. For a smaller ask, the lip or neck devices cover a single zone. Tools like the Depuffi or a roller add a few calm minutes and no light at all. Then pick one serum that feels good under your fingers, since you will be using it every day. Everything here comes with its own instructions, and devices do best when used consistently and gently. Keep it simple, keep it clean, and give it time before you judge it.
