Shark Beauty LED Mask, Facial Pro Glow & Depuffi: Worth the Splurge?
Shark - yes, the vacuum and hair tool brand - has officially entered the skincare device market. And they've come in strong with three products designed to bring professional treatments home: the LED Mask, Facial Pro Glow, and Depuffi.
I've been testing all three for the past month. Here's everything you need to know.
Shark BeautyFlex LED Mask
Price: £299 at Shark Beauty / Boots
What It Does
The Shark LED Mask uses medical-grade LED light therapy with four different modes:
What Sets It Apart
Unlike many LED masks that feel flimsy, the Shark mask has a premium, flexible fit that actually conforms to your face. The silicone construction is comfortable enough to wear for the full 10-minute sessions.
The standout feature? Eye protection is built-in - no awkward goggles required. The eye area is properly shielded while still allowing the treatment to reach your under-eyes.
My Results (4 Weeks)
For acne (Blue Light): I had a stubborn hormonal spot that usually sticks around for a week. Using the blue light mode, it flattened within 3 days. Impressed.
For anti-ageing (Red Light): This is a long game. After 4 weeks of using red light 4x per week, my skin looks more "alive" and bouncy. Fine lines around my eyes seem slightly softer, though this could also be improved hydration.
For redness (Amber Light): My cheeks tend to get flushed. The amber light noticeably calms redness after use - I'd say about 50% reduction that lasts several hours.
Verdict: 4.5/5
The Shark LED Mask is one of the best consumer LED masks I've tried. The fit, the light intensity, and the results all justify the price point. If you're serious about at-home light therapy, this is a solid investment.
Shark Facial Pro Glow
Price: £129 at Shark Beauty / Argos
What It Does
The Facial Pro Glow is a facial steamer and mist system that does more than just steam your face. It combines:
The Experience
Setting up is easy - fill the tank with distilled water, turn it on, and within 30 seconds you have a gentle cloud of nano-steam. The steam particles are much finer than traditional steamers, which means they penetrate better without that overwhelming "hot face" feeling.
I love the cool mist function for summer. It's incredibly refreshing after cleansing and helps prep skin for serums.
How I Use It
Pre-cleanse ritual (2x weekly):
Morning refresh:
My Results
The steaming genuinely makes a difference to product absorption. My serums seem to sink in faster and work better after steaming. Plus, it's turned my skincare routine into a proper self-care ritual.
Verdict: 4/5
At £129, the Facial Pro Glow is reasonably priced for what you get. It's not going to transform your skin on its own, but as part of a routine, it elevates everything. The dual temperature function sets it apart from cheaper steamers.
Shark Depuffi
Price: £79 at Shark Beauty / John Lewis
What It Does
The Depuffi is a cold therapy massage tool designed to:
It has two attachments:
The device gets properly cold (-8°C) and stays cold throughout use thanks to the thermoelectric cooling system.
Why It's Different
Most "cold" skincare tools (jade rollers in the freezer, ice globes) warm up within minutes. The Depuffi maintains consistent cold temperature for the full treatment. That matters because consistent cold = better lymphatic drainage.
My Morning Routine With It
My Results
The depuffing is immediate and noticeable. On mornings when I've had poor sleep or too much salt, 5 minutes with the Depuffi genuinely makes a visible difference. My under-eyes look less puffy and my face looks more sculpted.
It's also become my go-to for headaches - the cold on temples and forehead is incredibly soothing.
Verdict: 4.5/5
For £79, the Depuffi is excellent value. It does exactly what it promises, the cold is consistent and effective, and it's become a genuine staple in my morning routine.
Which Should You Buy?
If you can only pick one:
If you want the full Shark Beauty experience:
The Depuffi + LED Mask combo is incredibly effective. Use Depuffi in the morning for lymphatic drainage, LED Mask in the evening for treatment.
Final Thoughts
Shark has done something impressive here - they've entered the beauty device market with products that feel genuinely considered and well-designed. These aren't gimmicks; they're tools that deliver real results.
The brand's expertise in engineering shows. Each device feels solid, works as promised, and comes with clear instructions. If you're looking to level up your at-home skincare game, Shark Beauty is worth your attention.
