When discussing skin care, there’s always talk about ingredient penetration and what we can be doing to ensure that our skin is getting the most out of the products we are using. This 5-in-1 facial device —which I happen to own — aims to help with just that, while also offering the myriad benefits of light therapy and sonic massage.
I actually look forward to using the UFO, mostly because it feels so good on my face, but also because I’ve been a big proponent of light therapy. Using the free app, you can choose between eight different full-spectrum and ultraviolet-free light settings, each one aimed at addressing a specific skin concern, from collagen loss to acne and inflammation to dullness. My favorite is the yellow setting which instantly calms my sensitive and perpetually red skin and patches of keratosis plilaris.
You can choose from various pre-programmed mask treatments as well as thermo- or cryotherapy settings. Thermo is designed to push skin care ingredients deeper into the epidermis as the heated surface passes across your skin, while the cold treatment claims to depuff, and both feel incredible.
Foreo is offering up to 50% on all of the brand’s skin care devices through Dec. 3 and it looks like Amazon is price-matching if you’d like to grab it there to get your Prime card points or shipping benefits.

Dr. Brendan Camp, a board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology, previously cited this potent eye serum as a favorite anti-aging product from Murad.
“Retinol, cotton wool grass extract, and marine kelp complex are featured in this eye serum to improve the appearance of tired eyes, improve hydration, and limit the formation of fine lines,” Camp said of this formula.
According to Camp, retinol is an ingredient that appears in many anti-aging products because of its ability to improve collagen production to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots. This formula utilizes three different types of gradual-release retinol, an ingredient that’s clinically proven to promote collagen production. The serum also addresses skin dryness for up to 24 hours.
