The Shark CryoGlow Plus reading covers its product line.
What they say
Glotech Mask Pro
- Reddit discussion of the Mask Pro is thin and split.
- A February 2024 r/30PlusSkinCare owner was frustrated and disappointed after more than four months of daily use.
- A January 2024 buyer given the mask and collar returned them because they arrived without an outer box or instructions, and says her one-star review on LED Esthetics' site never appeared.
- A March 2025 r/30PlusSkinCare owner calls the mask good after a month, and a March 2026 r/EuroSkincare comment, worded much like the brand's own copy, calls it comfortable and wireless.
- Posters in four threads between July 2023 and April 2025 say they found few reviews of LED Esthetics outside its own site.
Shark CryoGlow Plus
- Reddit discussion of the CryoGlow line concerns the original FW312 mask, so this reading is the line's.
- Owners there mostly like the under-eye cooling and the short sessions, while 11 report marks, indents, bruising or stinging under the eyes where the cooling pads rest and 10 call the mask heavy or say it drags on the under-eyes.
- Several point out that the pads leave the under-eyes without light, and single owners report error codes, cooling that weakened and short battery life with the cooling on.
Both readings are about these exact models.
What they say
Glotech Mask Pro
- Three written reviews cover the Mask Pro.
- WIRED, which earns commission on purchases across the market, gives it an honourable mention in its August 2026 ranking of LED masks after two testers used it for six weeks and three months, and sets it beside the Omnilux Contour on price and wavelengths.
- Kelsey Barnes (November 2024), sent the mask free by LED Esthetics and paid through its affiliate link, found it easy to wear, wireless and quick at 10 minutes per mode, and could not wear it over glasses.
- Simply Stine (October 2024), gifted the mask and carrying an LED Esthetics code, calls the battery life impressive and the mask durable and well made, and likes the automatic shut-off.
Shark CryoGlow Plus
- The Plus reviews so far are early hands-ons by UK beauty editors who also use the original.
- Who What Wear's Eleanor Vousden (August 2026, with affiliate links), after a month, found it the same to use as the original, with more LEDs around the outer eyes, nose and lips and a battery she charges less often, but saw no visible difference from the extra coverage yet; she advises first-time buyers to pay the extra £40 and owners of the original not to upgrade.
- The Mirror's Zoe Cripps (July 2026, with affiliate links), two years on the original and a few weeks on the Plus, reaches the same verdict and calls it an evolution rather than a revolution.
- Grazia's Sameeha Shaikh (July 2026), who tried it before launch, calls it heavy and bulky but the best-fitting mask she has used, and had not used it long enough to judge any change in her breakouts.

What they say
Glotech Mask Pro
No usable source.
Shark CryoGlow Plus
- Video reviews of the CryoGlow line are of the original FW312 mask, so this reading is the line's.
- Its most-watched video, Abbey Yung's April 2025 short (364,903 views), regrets the $350 purchase over the weight, dents under the eyes, blocked under-eye light and fan noise.
- Jen Luv's 70-treatment review (May 2025, 98,599 views, bought with her own money and carrying affiliate links) finds it comfortable and quick to use but not a must-have, and two smaller channels that bought or were given theirs say the weight drags on the under-eyes.
Amazon
tiedThe Shark CryoGlow Plus reading covers its product line.
What they say
Glotech Mask Pro
- LED Esthetics' own listing (ASIN B0FSK15M91), sold by LED Esthetics and fulfilled by Amazon at $399.00, the same as on ledesthetics.com, holds 4.4 from 24 ratings: 46 percent five-star, 54 percent four-star and none lower.
- The listing opened in July 2026, and every review shown on it is an Amazon Vine review of a free unit, so the file is small and incentivised.
- Vine reviewers like the flexible silicone fit and the cordless use; two find the nose piece presses, two that the eye guards leave marks or are awkward to see past, and one that the listing's "face and neck" title suggests a neck piece that is not in the box.
Shark CryoGlow Plus
- The CryoGlow Plus has no Amazon US listing, and Shark's Amazon skincare store carries the original CryoGlow instead.
- For the line, the original's shared Amazon file holds 4.4 from 1,066 ratings when read in September 2026, 77 percent five-star against 7 percent one-star, with eye cooling and ease of use mostly praised and battery life tagged 29 times, 21 negative.
- Those ratings describe the original mask rather than the Plus.

No usable source.
Shark CryoGlow Plus
- The CryoGlow Plus has no review file of its own yet: Best Buy lists it as coming soon and Ulta with no reviews.
- For the line, Costco's CryoGlow kit holds 4.5 from 417 reviews when read in September 2026, 325 five-star against 33 one-star, with 173 of the 205 who answered recommending it and none of the 100 most recent syndicated from SharkNinja; recent critics there report units that would not charge or lost an under-eye cooler.
- Best Buy's 4.8 from 249 on the original rests on reviews that, in every one read, carry Best Buy's note of promotional consideration or a sweepstakes entry.
