Limited manufacturer information

We list this mask because it's sold to UK buyers, but its maker publishes less than most. Check these points before buying:

  • No legal company name published (Hong Kong address and email only)
  • No UK or EU representative named
  • No user manual published by the brand
  • Brand website does not ship to the UK; UK sales are through Amazon UK only

We'll update this listing if the manufacturer provides this information.

Sources differ: 630 nm (brand) vs 620 nm ±10 nm (510(k)).

Sources differ: 460 nm (brand FAQ, 510(k)) vs 470 nm (brand product description).

Sources differ: Brand lists yellow 610 nm (also called 'Orange' in image alt text); not in 510(k) summary.

Light output (irradiance)

105mW/cm²

Measured: Brand: 'up to 105mW/cm²' ('Peak Power Density'); Smoothing (purple) mode stated as 43 mW/cm² Conflicting information

Dose per session

Not published

Not yet checked

Sources differ: Brand/Amazon: 'up to 105mW/cm²'. FDA 510(k) summary for IN-FM002: Red 3.5–10, Blue 2.5–8, Red+IR 6–27 mW/cm².

Notes on these figures

Measurement distance, location, instrument and mode NOT disclosed by the brand. The FDA 510(k) summary for IN-FM002 gives far lower 'LED Intensity': Mode 1 Red 3.5–10 mW/cm², Mode 2 Blue 2.5–8 mW/cm², Mode 3 Red+Infrared 6–27 mW/cm² (conditions also not stated). Treat the 105 figure with caution.

Light-output figures come from the manufacturer. Independent checks are rare, even in published studies, so treat them as claims. Why

Using it

Treatment

Session length
10 minutes Conflicting information

Sources differ: Brand page: '10-minute treatments'. Amazon UK: '5-10 minute sessions'. 510(k): 'recommended to use it 10min each time'. Auto-off timing not stated by brand.

How often
3–5 times per week Conflicting information

Sources differ: 3–5×/week for 2–5 weeks (brand How To Use) vs 'safe daily use' (brand FAQ) vs claims based on daily sessions vs 3×/week (510(k)); session 5–10 min (Amazon UK) vs 10 min (brand).

Details

Brand page: 'Three to five, 10-minute treatments per week for 2-5 weeks followed by maintenance as desired'; same page FAQ: 'designed for safe daily use… follow the specific usage frequency suggested in the user manual'; clinical claims based on 'a simple 10-minute daily session'. Amazon UK: '3-5 times a week'. 510(k): '10 minutes a day, 3 times per week'.

Modes
4 modes: Anti-Wrinkle (red + NIR), Clarifying/Acne (blue), Smoothing (purple), Brightening (yellow) Conflicting information

Sources differ: Brand/Amazon: 4 modes incl. yellow and purple. 510(k) summary: 3 modes (Red; Blue; Red+Infrared), no yellow.

Details

Mode names from Amazon UK A+ content; colours from brand product description. Brand page also mentions yellow + red and yellow + NIR combinations without saying which mode uses them. The 510(k) summary describes only three modes for IN-FM002 (Red; Blue; Red+Infrared). Selected by one-click button on the magnetic battery/remote.

Auto shut-off
Yes, after each treatment Third-party reported
Details

510(k) summary: 'The device will automatically turn off after each treatment.' Not stated on brand page or Amazon UK listing.

Design and power

Power
Two interchangeable magnetic rechargeable battery controllers (also the remote); mask powers on when a controller is attached; USB charging cable included
Battery
2 × lithium-ion (included); 'up to 90 minutes of cordless runtime' (dual controllers)
Details

Capacity not stated by the brand. 510(k) summary lists '3.7V 650mAh' and '3.7V1000mAh' Li-ion batteries for the model family without assigning them to models. Unclear whether 90 min is per controller or combined.

Charge time
— Not disclosed
Use while charging
No
Details

'the remote control needs to be disconnected from the charger to operate the mask properly.'

Eye protection
Removable eye pads included; brand says goggles not needed
Details

Brand FAQ: 'can be used without protective goggles… You can choose to use the mask with or without the pads'. 510(k) summary refers to an incorporated 'protective eye-shield which blocks light energy from LEDs'.

Weight
— Not disclosed
Details

Brand gives no weight. Amazon UK package weight 690–760 g (packaged, by colour). 510(k) summary gives 161 g and 411 × 195 × 4 mm for the IN-FM002 group (likely mask only).

App needed
No
Details

Operated from the magnetic battery/remote; no app mentioned.

Subscription
No

Evidence

Unnamed 'clinical human efficacy testing' (4 weeks, 10 min daily)

Requested from manufacturer

What it measured and its limits

Product page quotes percentage results and says effectiveness was 'validated by third-party organizations like SGS', but no report, sample size, protocol or test lab report is published. Ask INIA for the full report and whether it tested this exact model.

Safety and regulation

Who shouldn't use it INIA's list

  • Pregnancy, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Lupus erythematosus, photosensitive eczema or albinism
  • Any photosensitive disorder, or medication that can cause photosensitivity
  • Skin with existing disease, wound ulceration, trauma or post-operative wounds
  • Epilepsy, thyroid disorders, or thyroid medication
  • Underlying eye conditions or light-sensitising medication: check with a physician (brand FAQ)

Sources differ: Brand FAQ: 'safe for all skin types… with no adverse side effects'; Amazon UK listing gives five contraindications.

Regulatory status

UK
UKCA Not disclosed
Details

No UKCA wording on brand page or Amazon UK listings. Amazon UK black listing says only 'globally certified, skin-friendly silicone mask'.

EU
CE: 'INIA has been certified as an FDA Class II medical device and CE medical device'; certifications listed as 'FDA, CE, RoHS, FCC, and REACH' Manufacturer-stated
Details

No notified-body number, declaration of conformity, or EU/UK authorised representative found. 'CE medical device' would require MDR conformity — ask for the DoC.

US
FDA 510(k) clearance: K243040 — 'LED Light Therapy Mask' (SKB-1818P, SKB-1918, SKB-1918P, SKB-1918PLUS, SKB-2318L, SKB-2318P, SKB-2318PRO, IN-FM002, SKB-2418); applicant Shenzhen Siken 3D Technology Development Co., Ltd.; decision SESE 20 Dec 2024; product codes OHS, OLP; Class II, 21 CFR 878.4810; OTC 'for the treatment of wrinkles and mild to moderate acne' Independently verified
Details

Model IN-FM002 matches the Amazon UK model number, but the applicant is not INIA and the cleared specification (3 modes, 3.5–27 mW/cm², no yellow) differs from INIA's marketing (4 modes, 105 mW/cm², yellow 610 nm) — see conflicts. Brand page says 'FDA-Cleared' without a K-number. US status only — not a UK approval. Clearance was based on non-clinical testing only.

UK
MHRA device registration Not yet checked
Details

Brand calls it a 'medical device'; no UK responsible person found. Classification requires further review. MHRA told the BBC on 5 Nov 2025 that 'there are currently no LED face masks currently registered'. Registration can be checked on the MHRA Public Access Registration Database (PARD); not yet checked for this model.

Safety standards declared (9)

ANSI AAMI ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-2-57, IEC 62133-2, IEC 62471, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-23

Listed as tests passed in the 510(k) summary submitted by Shenzhen Siken 3D Technology for the IN-FM002 family (US submission). INIA itself declares only 'FDA, CE, RoHS, FCC, and REACH'. Test reports and IEC 62471 risk group not published.

A conformity mark or US FDA clearance doesn't prove a device works. "Not published" doesn't mean unsafe. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or take light-sensitising medicines, ask your GP or pharmacist first.

Ownership and where to buy

Ownership

Company
Not published
Warranty
12 months Conflicting information

Sources differ: Product page '2-Year Warranty' vs warranty policy: one year standard, second year only if registered.

Details

Warranty policy: 'a standard one-year warranty from the original date of purchase' plus a one-year extension if registered on INIA's site. Product page headline: '2-Year Warranty'. Covers defects in materials/workmanship; original purchaser from INIA or an authorised seller only; excludes batteries/consumables unless defective, misuse, unauthorised repair. Claim via service@theinia.com with photos and proof of purchase. Whether Amazon UK purchases count as 'authorised' and whether UK claims are handled is not stated.

Returns
90 days, brand-site purchases only; prior approval; complete, undamaged, no clear signs of use; customer pays return postage unless a quality issue; refund in 10–15 business days
Details

Brand site does not ship to the UK, so this policy does not apply to UK buyers. UK purchases via Amazon UK follow Amazon's returns policy (not checked). Statutory rights also apply.

User manual
— Not yet checked
Details

Brand site publishes video guides only, no PDF. A third-party aggregator (manuals.plus) lists an 'INIA Glow Wireless LED Red Light Therapy Mask IN-FM002' manual dated 29 Sept 2025, but the site returned 403 to automated access and was not read. No manual on Amazon UK listings.

Other places sources disagree

  • Brand says 'FDA-Cleared' / 'FDA Class II medical device'; the matching clearance K243040 is held by Shenzhen Siken 3D Technology Development Co., Ltd., not INIA, and its cleared specification differs from INIA's marketing.

Open questions (13)

Facts we still need from INIA
  • Legal name of the INIA company; any UK or EU responsible person / authorised representative
  • Relationship to Shenzhen Siken 3D Technology (510(k) holder) — is the UK unit identical to the cleared IN-FM002?
  • Irradiance: how was 105 mW/cm² measured (distance, points, instrument, mode)? Why does the 510(k) give 3.5–27 mW/cm²?
  • Per-mode wavelengths and LED counts; what is the 'purple' mode; is yellow 610 nm present on the IN-FM002?
  • Wavelength tolerances; red 620 or 630 nm; blue 460 or 470 nm
  • UKCA marking and declaration of conformity; CE DoC and notified body (brand says 'CE medical device')
  • Is the product registered with MHRA?
  • Full report of the 'clinical human efficacy testing' / SGS validation (n, protocol, control, exact model)
  • User manual PDF (IN-FM002) for UK buyers; age restrictions; treatment timer/auto-off
  • Battery capacity, runtime per controller, charge time; are spare controllers sold?
  • Mask weight without packaging
  • Does the warranty (and registration extension) cover Amazon UK purchases? How are UK claims handled?
  • Is the 2-year warranty headline conditional on registration?
