70/100
Emilie Approved since October 2026I wore the X200 for a few days to understand who it’s for, keeping the eye protection on during each session. The light is excellent for the price: 100 light points at 50 mW/cm² around the eyes is a very high density. However, the light stops at the cheekbones, leaving the rest of the face untreated, and that’s its major drawback.
Buy it if
- You’re under 30, on a budget, and the eye area is where you’re starting to see the first lines.
- You already own an LED mask that you like but which doesn’t cover this area properly.
- You want strong red and infrared light on the eye area for under $300.
Skip it if
- You already own a full-face LED mask that covers your eye area well.
- Your concerns are on your cheeks, your jawline or your neck.
- You want a device with its own FDA clearance and its own clinical study.
What I tested: the Nooance LED Eye Mask X200
Nooance sent me this LED mask to test it. I now work with them as a partner: TESTEMILIE15 gets you 15% off and earns me a commission, which has no effect on my score or my verdict.
The device is the LED Eye Mask X200, the US version, sold at $279. I wore it for a few days only, at Nooance’s protocol of 10 minutes per session, with the eye shields clipped in. That was enough to understand the fit, the light and who it’s for, but not to see anything change on my skin as I prefer to use a full-face LED mask.
On the photos and videos below I’m not wearing the shields, so you can see how much light reaches the eyes. I wore them at every session, though, and I recommend you do the same.
Results: 3/5
What changed on my face following my test, including my before-and-after photos. I also evaluate the “before-and-after” examples provided by the brand being tested, as well as the results of any studies that may have been conducted on the mask.
Read my results guideThere’s no clinical study on the X200 itself. Every result on its product page, smoother crow’s feet or less visible dark circles, comes from Nooance’s GREDECO studies on the Elite X600 (21 volunteers, 90 days), which the page calls “masks sharing the same technology“.
Usually I don’t accept that shortcut, because every LED mask is different. Here I think it’s fair: the X200 really is the Elite X600 cut at eye level, with the same LEDs, the same light output, the same 10-minute session and the same layout of light points. I would still prefer Nooance to conduct a dedicated study on that LED mask.
I expect similar results around my eyes to those I saw with the X600, which gave me visible results in 12 weeks (my before and after are in the Elite X600 review). Still, expecting isn’t seeing. A few days is far too short for any LED mask to change skin, so if you give it a try, wait at least 2 months before assessing the results.
Irradiance: 4.5/5
How much light reaches the skin, in mW/cm²? I evaluate this value, as well as how the information is presented, the conditions under which it was measured, and the total dose received in a single session. If the brand does not communicate it, I give it a severe rating.
Read my irradiance guideNooance publishes 50 mW/cm² for the X200, red and infrared combined, and specifies that this value is measured at skin level. This is the level of detail I look for in my tests. I can therefore deduce that a 10-minute session generates approximately 30 J/cm², which corresponds to the output of their LED facial masks during their studies.
For an eye LED mask, that’s very high. iRestore publishes 32 mW/cm² for its Illumina Eye Mask, so you’d need longer or more frequent sessions to get a similar dose on your skin.
Coverage: 2.5/5
How many points of light does the mask actually feature, how evenly are they distributed, and which areas remain uncovered? Note that I am counting “bulbs” and not LEDs, because the number of LEDs often includes two, three or more diodes per bulb, which inflates the apparent coverage area.
Read my coverage guideOn the eye area, the X200 is as dense as the Elite X600, which is no surprise since it’s the same layout. With the strap tightened, the rigid shell sits right against the skin and doesn’t move, so the light reaches you at full strength instead of crossing a gap of air first.
But density isn’t enough for coverage. The X200 stops at the top of the cheekbones, so your cheeks, the folds around your mouth, your jawline and your neck get nothing at all. Above the eyes, it lights the lower half of the forehead, and the top of my forehead isn’t fully covered (it depends on the shape of your face, but for most people it’ll be like on my photos). On the nose, the sides get some light, the top of the bridge doesn’t.
And that the purpose of a eye mask, I agree, but honestly, although the eye area is where lines show up first, the rest of the face deserves light too for majority of people.
Nooance X200: 200 LEDs or 100 light points?
Nooance sells the X200 on 200 LEDs, which leads to 100 light points, each bulbs holding a red and an infrared chip. To its credit, Nooance says on the same page that its LEDs are dual-core, which partly explains the link between 200 dual-core LEDs and 100 light bulbs.
- Nooance Elite X600 300
- Nooance Aurion X252 126
- CurrentBody Series 2 110
- Nooance X200 (eye area only) 100
- Omnilux Contour Face 66
For such a small zone, that’s a lot. The CurrentBody Series 2 LED mask (my review) spreads 110 light points over a whole face, and the Omnilux (my review) only 66.
Proof: 2.5/5
What the brand clearly displays and what I check in the FDA file: wavelengths (in nm), emitted dose, FDA clearance number, product study, safety tests, warranty.
Read my proof guideWhat the brand publishes
- Published: Wavelengths in nm, 633 and 830, stated to ±2 nm
- Published: Session dose printed in J/cm², with the measurement condition stated
- Missing: FDA clearance number for this model
- Missing: Clinical study run on this exact model
- Published: Studies documented: volunteers, duration, laboratory and dermatologist named, on other Nooance masks
- Not disclosed: Photobiological safety for this model
- Published: Two year warranty and documented after-sales contact
Proof: 2.5/5
The X200 product page does the basics well: wavelengths to ±2 nm, an irradiance with its contact condition, and even the dose per session. Unfortunately, two things are missing: an FDA file and a study run on it.
The studies shared by Nooance are serious but they were run on the Elite X600 and The Professional. I also couldn’t find any photobiological safety statement for the X200. These missing elements do not change the product itself, but I would have preferred that Nooance communicate them as I found no 510(k) under Nooance’s name for an eye LED mask.
Comfort: 4.5/5
Fit, weight, heat, eye comfort and minor inconveniences: straps, timer, battery. A mask that becomes a chore to wear several evenings a week scores poorly in these areas, as using it should be a pleasant experience!
Read my comfort guideThe X200 is pleasant to wear: no pressure, no heat, and the Velcro strap provides a good fit. The shell is rigid, and for an eye LED mask I think that’s the right choice, since a flexible one would be hard to adjust around the eyes. Its shape rests nicely on the nose, you can press it right against your skin, and once the strap is tight it doesn’t budge.
10 minutes, 3 times a week, is easy to fit into an evening, and the X200 turns itself off at the end. I can use it for just under 10 sessions between charges. And most importantly, I can keep my eyes open during my session, and the mask isn’t oppressive at all!
Do you need the eye shields with the Nooance X200?
Yes, in my opinion. The X200 comes with silicone shields that clip inside the shell, and I wore them at every session. Apart from the safety side, they’re more comfortable for my eyes, and since they cut the light on the eyes, I can keep them open for the whole session.
Value: 4/5
The price I paid, when viewed in the context of the results achieved and compared to other masks I have tested, both within this price range and at different price points.
Read my value guideAt $279, or about $237 with my Nooance code TESTEMILIE15 (details here), the X200 gives you the light of the Elite X600 on the eye area for less than half the price. It also holds up really well against other eye LED masks:
- iRestore lists its Illumina Eye Mask at $499 for 180 LEDs at 32 mW/cm²,
- CurrentBody’s LED Eye Mask, at $249.99, has only 80 LEDs for 3-minute sessions.
It gets harder to defend next to the Nooance Aurion X252 (my review), though. For $449, or $170 more, you get a full-face LED mask with the same red and infrared LEDs, covering the entire face, even if the LED density around the eyes is lower.
Who is the Nooance X200 really for?
I see two cases where it makes sense:
- You’re under 30 and on a budget. The eye area is where lines show up first, so at 25, the X200 can cover the zone that matters most for you for a few years, before you move on to a full-face LED mask.
- You already own an LED mask which leaves your eye area in the dark. The CurrentBody Series 2 has cutouts right against the eyes, and the Shark CryoGlow (my review) puts cooling pads under the eyes instead of LEDs. If you can’t afford a better-designed LED mask, the X200 makes up for that gap, but you’ll have to use one after the other, so your sessions take twice as long…
Safety & support: 4/5
Eye protection, build quality, warranty, returns, responsiveness of customer support, and the mask’s ability to remain functional over time.
Read my safety & support guideNooance covers the X200 with a 2-year warranty, like all its LED masks, and the box holds the eye shields, the charging base and a USB-C cable. There’s no app, just one button, and the session stops by itself after 10 minutes.
My one reservation is the one above. Nothing on photobiological safety for this model, and shields presented as optional! Nooance also recommends a 5-minute test on your forearm before the first session, which I’d do. The FAQ lists who should skip it, so if you have any doubt, talk with your dermatologist first.
Who shouldn’t buy the Nooance X200
Skip this one if you recognize yourself
- Your full-face LED mask already covers your eye area well. The X200 adds nothing there. It’s why I don’t use it: my Elite X600 already lights the same zone with the same LEDs.
- You can stretch your budget to a full-face LED mask. For $170 more, the Aurion X252 covers your whole face, and in the long run that’s the better buy.
- Your concerns are on your cheeks, your jawline or your neck. The X200 stops at the cheekbones.
Am I still using the Nooance X200?
Updated November 2026. No. I wore it for a few days to understand what it’s for, then went back to my Nooance Elite X600, which already covers my eye area with the same LEDs, and the rest of my face too.
The X200 is a good way to get strong light on the eye area at an affordable price, but a full-face LED mask remains the better choice in the long run.
If you can stretch your budget, start with the Nooance Aurion X252, or read my comparison of the X252 and the X600 to choose between the two. And my Nooance LED masks review puts the whole range side by side. If you are weighing the X200 against a full-face mask, my ranking of the best LED masks starts with the X600 it shares its LEDs with, and my LED mask picker has the rest.
Nooance X200 LED eye mask: your questions
Is the Nooance X200 FDA cleared?
No. The X200 isn’t in Nooance’s FDA file K260150, which covers its face LED masks, and I found no other 510(k) for it.
How many LEDs does the Nooance X200 have?
200 LEDs according to Nooance, grouped in 100 light points. I counted them myself, and each point holds a red and an infrared chip.
Can I use the X200 with my LED face mask?
Yes, one after the other: your usual session first, then 10 minutes with the X200. Plan on twice the time.
Should I wear the eye shields with the X200?
Nooance says only if you’re sensitive to light. I wore them at every session and I’d recommend you do the same: they block the light on your eyes and let you keep them open.
How often should I use the Nooance X200?
Nooance recommends 3 sessions of 10 minutes a week, the rhythm of its studies on the face LED masks.

About Emilie
I have tested LED masks since 2023. I buy the devices, use them for weeks, and read the spec sheets nobody reads, because this market runs on numbers most brands never publish. Not a dermatologist, and I say so whenever a question needs one.
