Lux Skin Review: our thoughts on the skin tool with rave reviews

With so many different skincare brands promising to perfect your complexion, it can be hard to know which to trust. From eco-friendly moisturisers and retinol to anti-ageing eye creams for your 50s, the world of skincare can feel a little overwhelming. Beauty tools can really help take your skincare regime to the next level, but these devices often cost a small fortune, and it can be hard to know if they're really worth your money. Lux Skin prides itself on providing affordable skincare tools at affordable prices, but do they really work? Read our Lux Skin review to learn more...

Lux Skin overview

Lux Skin is a popular online beauty brand that also has a huge following on Instagram. They sell a wide range of different beauty products, including hair removal, hair care, skincare and oral care devices as well as serums and patches. Their goal is to bring the beauty salon to your home with accessible tools and devices.

Their products are much more affordable than many other products on the market, too, and they pride themselves on their rave reviews – it has an impressive consumer rating of 4.7/5 stars.

Lux Skin key features

Very affordable - One thing that many beauty devices have in common is their rather hefty price tag. Take the PRIORI UNVEILED mask, for example. Although it gave great results, it comes with a £340 price tag. Compare this to the Lux Skin LED facial mask which retails at just £32.

Huge range of salon tools and devices - Lux Skin stocks a huge range of different devices to cater for every need. They even sell a water flosser to keep your teeth clean! This makes it a sort of one-stop shop for all your hair and beauty care needs if you're looking to invest in some tools to boost your routine.

In particular, they stock a huge range of different devices to target common issues associated with ageing, including hair growth, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.

Rave reviews - They don't hide their reviews online, and they've got very little need to. The reviews of each product are clear to see under each product on their site, even the not-so-nice ones (which there really aren't many of), so you can get a real good idea of the product you're getting, thanks to the transparency of the brand.

Easy to use website - The Lux Skin website is very easy to navigate and buy from. We particularly like the offers on next day delivery and how easy it is to track your order.

Peace of mind - They offer a 90-day money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied with your item. You also get a 12-month warranty on all products.

Lux Skin Reviews

LUX SKIN® Premium IPL Handset reviews

Laser hair removal devices, or IPL (Intense Pulse Light) as it's often called is painless hair removal in the comfort of your own home. It promises to leave you hair-free in just weeks and is suitable for both the face and body, making it ideal if you struggle with your current methods of facial hair removal. While it works for a wide range of skin tones and hair types, it's advised that those with darker pigmented skin should probably avoid IPL as their skin may absorb more than the safe amount of light.

It works by using high-power flash to remove the hair permanently and is a 100 per cent pain-free form of hair removal. It's suggested to use it once a week for a 12-week period.

One happy customer wrote: "This is a great product. I was waxing every three to four weeks; the pain never gets any easier, but this is painless, and I saw results in three weeks. It is excellent. I did have a faulty one; it was overheating, so I contacted Lux Skin, and they replaced the product with ease. The customer care at Lux Skin is impressively fast and no-nonsense. I would recommend this product to anyone thinking of buying one. I give it 10/10 and 10/10 for customer service; well done, Lux."

LUX SKIN® LED Facial Mask reviews

LED light can provide many benefits for the skin, including the treatment of acne, pigmentation problems, redness, and dull skin while helping to increase the skin's firmness. This mask provides three different coloured LED light options to target different areas of the skin.

It works by sending energy waves deep into the skin to cause a healing reaction on a cellular level. It's suggested that the mask should be worn three to five times per week for 15-30 minutes per session.

One impressed customer said: "Have been using the product for approximately one month. So far, it is great. I’m using it for 30 minutes most days on the red light setting. I’m using it as well as a microdermabrasion pen to reduce pigmentation. Have had a reduction in pore size, reduced congestion and minimal breakouts since using it. The skin is looking really clear and has a good glow. Can’t say pigmentation has reduced significantly yet but I’m playing the long game. I’m trying to break it down slowly. Can’t fault Lux Skin as a company. I had a faulty charging cord, and they are sending me a new one, so I can’t complain about that. Would be interested in buying the EMS RF device in the near future but am yet to do so."

LUX SKIN® Microdermabrasion Kit reviews

Microdermabrasion has been a popular salon beauty treatment for quite some time now, but it's always required a trip to the salon. This at-home microdermabrasion device uses vacuum suction-like technology to cleanse your pores as well as exfoliate the skin to wash away dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This results in smaller pores and a brighter complexion, making it great for getting rid of acne scars.

You only need to use it one to two times per week for 5-10 minute sessions each time, and you should see results within one week of use.

One satisfied customer wrote: "I've used it about 2-3 times so far on the lowest setting, and I've noticed my acne scars have faded quite a bit. I've read that significant results show after about 10-12 uses, and so far, it's worked. I paid about £15 and it seems to be well worth the money and it's also probably far cheaper than other brands. Good product."
