One person tests the devices on this site, writes the reviews, and answers for every line in them. That is me: Tested by Emilie, from the French creator of Les Avis d’Emilie.
- 30+ LED masks tested since 2023
- 2020 Reviewing beauty products on camera since
- 190+ Videos published on my Youtube channel
- 5M+ Views across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok
The view and video counts come straight from the platforms, and the number of masks is my own, from a list I keep.

How I got here
I have been testing LED masks since 2023, and more than thirty of them have passed through my hands since, from American brands, European ones and Asian ones. Testing a single mask tells you what that mask does, while testing thirty is what taught me which of the differences between them actually matter and how many are packaging.
Before any of that I was reviewing ordinary beauty products on camera, the creams and serums and small tools most people actually buy, and I had been doing it since 2020. Filming is a slower and far more public way to be wrong than writing, which turned out to be excellent training. What changed is that home devices stopped trickling in and started arriving by the dozen, each one promising something a jar could not, and I wanted to know whether any of it held up on a real face over a real month.
What kept me there is that a serum and a red light session do not act on the skin in remotely the same way. One does not replace the other, and I have ended up convinced that giving your skin a single kind of input, month after month, is a slow way to get nowhere.
Part of the reflex is French. Back home a cosmetic cannot reach a shelf without a safety file behind it and a named person answering for it, so I grew up with products somebody had already been made to justify. Devices are a different category with different rules, in Europe as much as here in the United States, but the habit stayed with me: before I try anything, I want to know who is standing behind the claim.
The other reason I am here is less pleasant, because a great deal of what sells on this market is a promise with nothing underneath it: no wavelength in nanometers, no irradiance, no distance at which anything was measured, and no clearance you can look up.
The brands that do publish their figures are rarely the ones shouting the loudest, so I read the spec sheets nobody reads, and I try to make it obvious which of those numbers decide whether a mask is worth your money and which ones are decoration.
My skin
My skin is combination, leaning normal: my T-zone turns oily by the end of the day while the rest of my face behaves itself. That matters when you read me, because a mask that suits my face will not automatically suit yours, and whenever a result looks like it came from my skin rather than from the device, I say so in the review.
My routine
Mine is simple, and deliberately so: a cleanser, a serum, a cream, and an LED mask every other day.
The products rotate with the seasons and with whatever my skin is asking for that month. I also make a point of never staying on the same routine for more than three months, partly to keep the actives moving, partly because trying other things is the job.
What I am not
I am not a dermatologist, not an esthetician, and not a laboratory. I do not diagnose anything and I will not tell you what your skin needs. What I can do is live with a device long enough to know whether it survives an ordinary week, and read a spec sheet closely enough to notice what has been left out of it.
Everything I do to a device before I score it, down to the grid itself, is published, and so is what pays for this site and what it never buys.
Where else you can find me
I film as much as I write. The accounts below are French, with English on them, and they are where you can watch me handle a device instead of reading about it.
