AWA LX300 vs Omnilux Contour: LED Face Mask Comparison
Honest Comparison
AWA LX300 vs Omnilux Contour: an honest LED face mask comparison
Two flexible silicone face masks. One is in Sephora. The other has independent EVERFINE spectrum testing. Here's the real difference.
The short answer
If you want clinical heritage and brand recognition: Omnilux Contour. It's the well-known mask, sold at Sephora, backed by published clinical studies on its specific 633nm + 830nm wavelengths.
If you want more LEDs, more wavelength options, FDA 510(k) clearance, EVERFINE-verified specs, and roughly half the price: AWA LX300. $199.99 after the auto-discount vs Omnilux Contour at ~$395.

Where Omnilux wins
- Clinical heritage — Omnilux's specific 633nm + 830nm wavelengths are the most-cited in dermatology literature.
- Sephora distribution — easy to find in store, easy to compare with skincare staff.
- 10-min sessions — shorter routines.
- Brand trust — popular with derms, frequently mentioned in press.
Where AWA LX300 wins
- 2x the LEDs — 279 vs 132. More density across the face.
- 7 wavelength options — choose color modes for different concerns vs Omnilux's fixed red+NIR.
- EVERFINE third-party testing — most masks (Omnilux included) rely on manufacturer-supplied wavelength claims. We've published independent measurements.
- Roughly half the price.
- Longer return window (60 vs 30 days) and free US returns.
Bottom line
If you're brand-loyal to clinical heritage and you'll see your derm anyway, Omnilux is a fair pick. If you want the LX300's 279-LED, 7-mode setup with EVERFINE-verified specs for $200 less, the LX300 is the rational choice.
