Cons: Wired option is a bit awkward with the three ends for different devices.
STAY CLEAR OF THESE
1. Masks with microcurrents can be dangerous and definitely aren't for everyone. They are also uncomfortable and should be avoided when possible.
2. Masks that look like face shields from our tests virtually do nothing and don't protect the eyes.
3. The Zoidberg looking masks that are made from silicone. While these are comfortable, they often lack full face coverage and we've also found them to be weak with typically only 66 bulbs. Not to mention a bit cumbersome with the remotes and they all smell like formaldehyde out of the packaging.
WHICH IS BEST TO GIFT?
Like many things in this world, it's situational. In fact it's NONE industry wide if they are sensitive to light or take any medications that increase light sensitivity.
That aside, if you can afford the best in class technology then go for the Artemis or Avina X1 They don't disappoint. If you can't quite justify splurging on the apple of beauty you can opt for the a well rounded Cleopatra Mask. We really do like having the ability to take care of our neck at the same time which is where the Artemis and Cleopatra really shine.
Then you have your budget option the Regenalight which works well especially for the price. Feeling a Korean mask but not wanting to quite go as high as the Artemis and Avina? Then give the Celestalight a whirl with it's power in numbers.
