LX300 vs LX500: Which AWA LED Face Mask Is Right for You?

Our two LED face masks — the LX300 and the flagship LX500 — are both FDA-cleared for wrinkles and acne, so you're in good hands either way. The real choice comes down to how many light modes you want and how premium a fit you're after.

LX300 or LX500 — which should I choose?

• Choose the LX500 ($279.99) if you want the most versatility — multiple light modes (red, yellow, blue, and near-infrared) and a premium, flexible silicone fit.
• Choose the LX300 ($239.99) if you want effective, FDA-cleared facial light therapy at a friendlier starting price.

What do the two masks share?

Both masks are FDA-cleared, both target the look of fine lines, uneven tone, and breakout-prone skin, and both are hands-free — you wear them for about 10–20 minutes a few times a week while you unwind. Both are FSA & HSA eligible and backed by our 60-day money-back guarantee.

Where do they differ?

Light modes & wavelengths

The LX500 combines more light modes — red, yellow, blue, and near-infrared — so you can switch between anti-aging and blemish-fighting routines. The LX300 uses red (630nm), near-infrared (850nm), and blue (415nm) light, plus additional color modes, in a simpler, effective package.

Fit & price

The LX500 ($279.99) uses a comfortable, flexible silicone design built for daily wear. The LX300 ($239.99) is the more accessible entry point into FDA-cleared facial light therapy.

A note on the neck

Both masks are face devices, and the FDA 510(k) clearance for each covers the face only. The LX300 ships with a bonus neck piece (a companion piece that is not part of its FDA clearance), while the LX500 is a face-only mask.

Who picks which?

The LX500 is the favorite for: anyone who wants to address both fine lines and breakouts, and people who value the most premium, customizable experience.

The LX300 is the favorite for: first-time mask users and anyone focused on everyday skin rejuvenation at a friendlier price.

Should I get a mask or a panel?

Masks are purpose-built for your face. If you also want full-body pain relief and recovery, pair a mask with a panel — see our FX300 vs FX500 guide, or take the 60-second device quiz. Both masks are FSA/HSA eligible; here's how to pay with your FSA or HSA.
