Conflicting information

Dose per session

Not published

Not yet checked

Sources differ: UK help centre: 100 mW/cm². FDA 510(k) summaries K243492/K260511: 1–40 mW/cm². Amazon UK (brand seller): '100W/cm²'. None states measurement conditions.

Notes on these figures

Three different figures. UK help centre: 'The mask delivers an LED treatment intensity of 100mW/cm²'. Both FDA 510(k) summaries (submitted by Ulike): 'LED Intensity 1-40mW/cm2'. Amazon UK listing (sold by Ulike Beauty Care): 'delivering a 100W/cm² energy output' (units as written). None gives distance, measurement points, instrument, or whether the figure is per band, per mode or combined. The UK product page gives no mW/cm² figure, only '77.4% better light irradiance' from its mirror-reflection design, with no baseline or method stated. K260511 lists a 'Wavelength and Irradiance Performance Test Report', which is not published.

Light-output figures come from the manufacturer. Independent checks are rare, even in published studies, so treat them as claims. Why

Using it

Treatment

Session length
5 (Glow, Clear) or 8 (Firm, Rejuvenate) per mode; 1–2 modes per session

Sources differ: Product page: max 20 minutes per session. Quick-start guide: max 26 minutes a day. Help centre: 20 per session, 26 maximum.

Details

Daily maximum differs. UK product page: 'not exceeding 20 minutes in total' per session. Quick-start guide: 'should not use the device for more than 26 minutes a day'. Help centre gives both: 20 minutes per session, 26 minutes maximum. See conflicts.

How often
— Conflicting information

Sources differ: UK product page FAQ: 3 times a week. Quick-start guide and help centre: up to 6 times a week, or daily once skin is used to it.

Details

UK product page FAQ: 'It is recommended to use the device 3 times a week.' Quick-start guide: 'up to 6 times a week… Once your skin gets used to the device, you can use it every day.' Help centre: 'up to 6 times per week', with a '28-day treatment cycle'.

Modes
4 preset modes, cycled by short-pressing the Power/Mode button: Glow (yellow 590 + red 630 + NIR 830 nm, 5 min), Firm (red 630 + NIR 830 nm, 8 min), Rejuvenate (yellow 590 + NIR 830 nm, 8 min), Clear (blue 465 + red 630 + NIR 830 nm, 5 min). No intensity setting. Remembers the last-used mode.
Details

In K260511, Firm is called 'Anti-Aging mode' and Rejuvenate is 'Restoring mode' (US filing).

Auto shut-off
Yes, at the end of each mode (5 or 8 minutes)

Design and power

Power
Rechargeable controller ('remote') on a cable, plugged into the mask by Type-C; charged by Type-C. Help-centre spec: adapter input 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz; rated output 12 V ⎓ 2 A; 'Use power adapters with at least 24W output'.
Details

Help centre: 'The mask body itself does not charge directly.' Spec table says 'Wireless Use Support: Yes', meaning no mains cable during use (the controller is still cabled to the mask). The help-centre unboxing photo shows a US-style plug. UK plug/adapter not confirmed.

Battery
Lithium-ion, 2600 mAh (3.7 V, 9.62 Wh per 510(k)), in the controller
Details

Sessions per charge not stated.

Charge time
3 hours
Use while charging
— Not disclosed
Eye protection
Built-in silicone eye guard/seal; no separate goggles listed
Details

UK page: 'Built-in silicon eye seal minimizes light exposure around the eyes'. Quick-start guide labels a 'Protective eye guard'. 510(k): 'protective eye-shield which blocks light energy from LEDs'. Quick-start FAQ: 'The light emitted by the LED mask has no effect on eyesight and is harmless to the human body' (claim, not verified).

What Ulike claims quoted, not verified

“After 4 weeks 96.9% of users tested reported a significant reduction in forehead lines”

Context

Footnote: 'Certified by SGS (Report No. GZCPCHE23000377-01_CN, GZCPCHE23000377-03_CN, and GZCPCHE23000377-04_EN). Data includes self-reporting. Individual results may vary.'

“Clearer skin in 2 weeks: Fewer breakouts”

“Smoother skin in 4 weeks: Fewer lines, firmer feel”

“4× LEDs, 4× power: Faster, visible results”

Context

Footnote: 'Compared to a single-LED design.'

“Exclusive light-reflection tech boosts irradiance, helping light reach every contour. 77.4% better light irradiance”

Context

Footnote: 'Refers to the light-refraction design, which increases energy density and enables near-full-face coverage.' No baseline or method stated. Amazon UK wording: '77.4% compared to direct exposure'.

“ReGlow is an FDA cleared and affordable home use device that uses light emitting diodes (LED) to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and acne, and improve overall skin tone, firmness, and health.”

“Modes use tailored combinations of blue, yellow, red, and infrared light to penetrate all 3 layers of skin, treating issues at their source”

“After 4 weeks of continuous use, experience a 97.1% reduction in fine lines* and a 96.9% boost in skin firmness and smoothness*”

Context

Amazon UK listing (seller Ulike Beauty Care). Same 96.9% figure as the brand page, but described differently; 97.1% appears only on Amazon. See conflicts.

“The light emitted by the LED mask has no effect on eyesight and is harmless to the human body.”

Evidence

SGS reports GZCPCHE23000377-01_CN, -03_CN and -04_EN (cited for 96.9% forehead-lines, 2-week breakout and 4-week smoothness claims)

Requested from manufacturer

What it measured and its limits

Only the report numbers are cited. No report, sample size, population, protocol or control is published on the UK site, and the numbers return no public document. Ask Ulike for the full reports, including whether any arm used the UM10 as sold, and the source of Amazon's 97.1% figure.

  • People who cannot sense temperature or stimuli
  • Autoimmune diseases

Regulatory status

UK
UKCA: Product page: 'Tested in SGS Laboratories & UKCA-cleared: Safe, effective, and backed by science' Manufacturer-stated
Details

'UKCA-cleared' is unusual wording: UKCA is a self-declared conformity mark, not a clearance. No declaration of conformity, UK responsible person, or regulation (medical device vs. general product) given. Ask.

UK
MHRA device registration Not yet checked
Details

Ulike markets it with medical-sounding claims (acne treatment, 'FDA cleared') and US filings use medical-electrical standards. UK classification and registration not established. MHRA told the BBC on 5 Nov 2025 that 'there are currently no LED face masks currently registered'. Registration can be checked on the MHRA Public Access Registration Database (PARD); not yet checked for this model.

US
FDA 510(k) clearance: K243492 (decision 10 Jan 2025) and K260511 (decision 16 Mar 2026), both 'Ulike Reglow Light Therapy Device (UM10)', applicant Shenzhen Ulike Smart Electronics Co., Ltd.; Class II, product codes OHS/OLP, 21 CFR 878.4810; OTC indication: 'treatment of full face wrinkles and treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory acne' Independently verified
Details

UK page says 'FDA-cleared' and 'FDA cleared… home use device'. Device name, model and applicant match. K260511 is a modification: extra battery and LED suppliers 'with the same specifications', plus a package without an adapter. US status only — not a UK approval. Whether the UK unit is identical is not confirmed.

EU
CE marking Not disclosed
Details

Not mentioned on UK site.

Safety standards declared (11)

IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-2-57, IEC 60601-2-83, IEC 62471, IEC 62133-2, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-23

Declared in the US 510(k) summaries (submitted by Ulike), not in any UK document we found. IEC 62471 risk group not stated. Test reports not published. UK page says only 'Tested in SGS Laboratories'.

A conformity mark or US FDA clearance doesn't prove a device works. "Not published" doesn't mean unsafe. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or take light-sensitising medicines, ask your GP or pharmacist first.

Ownership and where to buy

Ownership

Company
Ulike International B.V.
Warranty
24 months
Details

Runs from delivery date. Covers defects in materials/workmanship. Ulike repairs or replaces at its option and sends a pre-paid label. Replacements are covered for the unexpired period only. Not transferable to second owners. Excludes unauthorised sellers and free gifts. Warranty can be voided 'if the Product is used outside the market where it is purchased'. Claims need proof of purchase, order number, model and serial number (SN is on the mask next to the controller port). Statutory rights unaffected.

Returns
Statutory 14-day change-of-mind cancellation, refunding standard delivery. The return label cost is deducted if the customer uses Ulike's prepaid service. Extra '100-Day Money-Back Guarantee': product must have been used for at least one month as the manual directs, a £5 return fee applies, it is void for clearance/final-sale purchases, and returns must be complete and undamaged. Damage on delivery must be reported within 7 days.

Sources differ: Price match: '7-Day' (product page, policy) vs '14-Day' (/pages/ulike-reglow landing page). 100-day guarantee shown on ReGlow page, but the policy intro limits it to 'any Ulike IPL device'.

Details

Brand-site purchases only; Amazon and other retailers handle their own returns. The policy intro says the 100-day guarantee applies 'when you purchase any Ulike IPL device', but the ReGlow page shows '100-Day Money-Back' — ask whether it covers the mask. Product page badge says '7-Day Price Match'; the /pages/ulike-reglow landing page says '14-Day Price Match'; policy section 9 says 7 days. Standard UK delivery 2–3 business days; express £4.99.

User manual
Yes
Details

Only a 7-page QUICK START GUIDE (image-only PDF), and the file title marks it as the US version. It has no spec table, warnings, manufacturer address or conformity marks. Linked from Ulike's US blog, not the UK site. The full 'User Manual' shown in the box (cover reads 'Version 1.0, Effective date 2024/01/10') was not found online. Help-centre spec table used for specifications instead.

In the box

  • ReGlow mask
  • Rechargeable remote (controller)
  • Charger
  • User manual and quick start guide

Sources differ: Help centre lists a charger. K260511 adds a package with only a Type-C cable and no adapter. Help-centre unboxing photo shows a US plug.

Other places sources disagree

  • Brand page: '96.9% of users tested reported a significant reduction in forehead lines'. Amazon UK: '97.1% reduction in fine lines' and '96.9% boost in skin firmness and smoothness'. Same 96.9% figure, different outcome.

Open questions (16)

Facts we still need from Ulike
  • Irradiance: which figure is correct (100 mW/cm² vs 1–40 mW/cm²)? Distance, measurement points, instrument, and per mode/band?
  • Per-colour LED counts (272 total, 4 per slot)
  • Blue wavelength: 465 nm or 415 nm?
  • Recommended frequency: 3×/week or up to 6×/week? Daily maximum: 20 or 26 minutes?
  • UKCA declaration of conformity: which regulations? Is the device registered with MHRA as a medical device?
  • UK responsible person / importer name and address
  • Full UK user manual (warnings, specs, manufacturer details), not just the US quick-start guide
  • Full SGS reports GZCPCHE23000377-01/-03/-04: design, n, population, protocol, control; source of Amazon's 97.1% figure
  • IEC 62471 risk group
  • Is the UK unit identical to the US UM10 cleared under K243492/K260511? UK GTIN?
  • UK box contents: UK plug adapter included, or Type-C cable only?
  • Sessions per full charge; can the mask be used while the controller charges? Is the controller replaceable?
  • Does the 100-day money-back guarantee apply to ReGlow (policy text says IPL devices)?
  • Mask weight with and without controller
  • Minimum age
  • Authorised UK retailers list (Currys, Superdrug marketplace and Littlewoods also list it)
