Editor's top three.
All devices brands.
5 brands · sorted by score
Omnilux
The LED therapy gold standard. Contour Face is the most clinically evidenced mask on the AU shelf, and the one our editors keep coming back to.
Dyson
Engineering as marketing. Supersonic and Airwrap are still the benchmark for at-home hair tools, heat control no salon dryer matches.
NuFace
Microcurrent original. Trinity is still the device dermatologists recommend when patients ask what actually lifts the lower face.
Oura
The wearable that earned a place in the beauty conversation. Sleep, recovery and cycle data that actually changes routines, not a vanity tracker.
CurrentBody
British DTC brand that brought clinical LED doses into a sleep-prep silicone format. The mask that put LED at home into the mainstream.
How we tested
Six weeks, clinical evidence first.
Every device brand in this ranking was tested in-house by GLOW Editorial Team over a six-week panel. Each device went onto two skin types, one fair reactive, one mid-density resilient, and was photographed weekly under daylight and indoor warm light.
Devices are scored on the same five-axis rubric as formulations under GLOW Standard: efficacy, engineering, tolerability, value, distinction. Published RCT-grade evidence is weighted heavily; vague marketing claims discounted. Battery life, build quality and Australian after-sales service are scored against the AU$ retail price.
PR samples are accepted but carry no influence on rank or inclusion. Affiliate links may appear but are disclosed and never determine placement.
