Independent sources, scored for each model. Contour Face on 5 of five, TheraFace Mask on 5.
Both readings are about these exact models.
What they say
Omnilux Contour Face
- Owners in r/30PlusSkinCare and r/SkincareAddiction most often complain about fit: on smaller faces the mouth opening sits below the mouth and the bottom strap has to be pulled past its tightest setting, and several call the straps the reason they skip sessions.
- A much-cited r/SkincareAddiction review describes a unit that failed after one use and a return that required video proof and return shipping.
- Owners are split on whether they saw a visible difference; a December 2024 r/30PlusSkinCare owner who finds it uncomfortable still calls it well made and simple to charge.
- In a November 2025 comment on an r/redlighttherapy thread, a 2021 owner whose mask had begun to flicker reports being sent a replacement after the warranty had ended, as a one-time courtesy.
Therabody TheraFace Mask
- Owners in r/SkincareAddiction (October 2023 thread, 102 comments), r/SkincareAddictionLux, r/TheraBody and r/redlighttherapy split between long-term fans and people who found it too heavy to keep.
- About ten owners call it heavy or top-heavy, several saying it leaves marks on the bridge of the nose or around the eyes and has to be used lying down, and one returned it for that reason.
- Owners of six months to two years report a more even, brighter complexion or fewer breakouts, and in a May 2026 r/SkincareAddictionLux thread (178 comments) four owners of the original say they love theirs, while one owner saw no change in her breakouts after seven weeks of daily use.
- Faults are specific and repeated: three owners report the red light turning orange, one on her third mask, four report black scorch marks on the shell, two of them on new units straight from the box, and two report a unit that died or stopped charging at 12 to 18 months, just past the one-year warranty.
- Opinions of the vibration run both ways: several like the brow and temple massage, and a few find it loud.
Both readings are about these exact models.
What they say
Omnilux Contour Face
- Harper's Bazaar (September 2026) got five to seven sessions per charge and found the corded controller swings when moving around.
- Wareable, which earns affiliate commissions on the mask, scored it 4.2 out of 5 in April 2026, praising the flexible fit and faulting the premium price and the lack of included eye protection, and Reviewed's tester with a high nose bridge found the mask rode up and shone into the eyes.
- RedLightTested read 26 to 30 mW/cm2 at 6 inches on a solar meter.
Therabody TheraFace Mask
- Magazine testers mostly rate it highly and nearly all of them say it is heavy.
- T3 gave it a Recommends award after four weeks (March 2024), and so did Woman & Home's Rhiannon Derbyshire (October 2024), who calls it the closest thing to an in-salon treatment, and mindbodygreen's tester, after a year of use, praises the cordless design and eye shields (August 2024).
- The Strategist's Brenley Goertzen, reviewing a unit she received, says the massage eased her tension headaches (February 2024).
- WIRED's Boutayna Chokrane gave it 7 out of 10 after three months (May 2025): her skin looked about the same, it has among the highest irradiance WIRED has tested, and she faults it for having no battery indicator and no app.
- T3, Vogue and The Strategist all say it pressed into the nose or forehead and left marks.
- Alex Fergus of Light Therapy Insiders, sent a free unit and paid a commission through his link, measured about 7 J/cm2 over the red and near-infrared stages and scored it 73 out of 100, the highest of any mask he had tested, but found less coverage at the nose, chin and jawline.
- Most of these sites carry affiliate links.
YouTube

What they say
Omnilux Contour Face
- An unsponsored owner review after 60 days (Mary Pivin, July 2024, about 5,300 views) calls it simple to run but hard to seat properly and very bright.
- Light Therapy Insiders, which earns a commission on Omnilux sales and tested a unit Omnilux supplied free, scored it 60.5 out of 100 in September 2025 and declined to recommend it at its price: it stays in place and folds small for travel, but the two-strap system is a hassle, it presses on the nose, and its 66 bulbs give limited coverage.
Therabody TheraFace Mask
- Most video reviewers like it and all of them mention the weight.
- Alex Fergus, who was sent it free and links to it for a commission, scored it 73 out of 100 (July 2025, 30.1K views): it fit well and he could breathe freely, but back-to-back test sessions gave him a headache from the weight.
- Jillian Gottlieb, whose description carries affiliate links, gave first impressions after two uses (October 2023, 36.3K views): heavy but comfortable, and the eye shields let her keep her eyes open.
- Michele Yusufi, who was gifted hers, reports clearer, less dull skin after six months, but the strap would not tighten enough for her small head (March 2026, 1,423 views).
- In Forbes Vetted's head-to-head, Kim Piper picks Dr.
- Dennis Gross's mask over this one as quicker, lighter and cheaper, while calling this one the more relaxing; EndureWell, whose links are affiliate, also rates the massage but advises wearing it reclined (January 2026).
- Riley Sorensen, who bought his, found the motors loud enough to seem loose.
Amazon
+1 OmniluxBoth readings are about these exact models.
What they say
Omnilux Contour Face
- A third-party seller, Posh Gifts Online, lists the Contour Face under the brand name NRO at 3.9 from 77 ratings when read on 2026-09-29, split 65 percent five-star against 20 percent one-star.
- Omnilux does not sell this listing itself.
- US reviewers split between owners who saw a difference and owners whose units failed or showed nothing after months.
Therabody TheraFace Mask
- The TheraFace Mask's Amazon US listing is sold by Therabody's own store at the $649.99 list price.
- The Mask Glo is sold as a variation on the same page and shares its review file.
- When read in September 2026 it held 4.1 from 343 ratings, split 66 percent five-star against 11 percent one-star, with 23 percent across the middle three.
- The complaints are about wear: comfort is tagged 20 times, 16 negative, and weight 21 times, 16 negative, with reviewers calling it too big and too heavy and saying it leaves marks on the nose.
- Effectiveness splits 13 positive to 15 negative, with Amazon's summary citing units that stopped working as intended, and value for money splits 18 positive to 15 negative.

Owner reviews

What they say
Omnilux Contour Face
- Nordstrom lists it at 4.3 from 1,503 reviews when read on 2026-09-29: 66 percent five-star, 12 four, 10 three, 5 two and 6 one-star, with no reviews marked as syndicated from Omnilux or collected in a promotion.
- Critical reviews name the straps and skin sensitivity.
Therabody TheraFace Mask
- Best Buy holds the largest file, 4.5 from 356 reviews when read in September 2026, 268 five-star against 15 one-star, with 88 percent recommending it and none syndicated from the brand.
- Every one of the 80 reviews read, the 40 newest and the 40 lowest-rated, is marked as having received promo considerations or a sweepstakes entry, and nearly all are verified purchases, so the file cannot be split into paying and incentivised reviewers.
- Best Buy tags skin tone 44 times, ease of use 43 and overall performance 43 as pros, and weight 23 times, price 11 and fit 9 as cons.
- Among the 40 lowest-rated, about a dozen call it too heavy, painful or mark-leaving, and four report a unit that stopped working or holding a charge, two just after the one-year warranty ran out.
- Nordstrom holds 4.3 from 182, 68 percent five-star against 8 percent one-star; its most-helpful critical reviews fault the weight, the vibration and a fit too big to tighten, and one owner who tried three brands kept the Dr.
- Dennis Gross mask instead.
