There’s something quietly luxurious about carving out six uninterrupted minutes at the end of the day. For me, that moment comes once work is wrapped, dishes are stacked, and the kids are finally in bed. I sink into the couch, switch on whatever Netflix series I’m currently absorbed in, and reach for the Shark™ CryoGlow™ Under-Eye Cooling + LED Mask. It’s surprisingly easy to use. Clean skin is key — no make-up, no skincare — just a fresh face.
The mask slips on comfortably, the straps adjust easily, and with one touch you’re into your chosen mode. I’m currently exploring the Better Ageing mode, which runs for six minutes daily. That’s it: six minutes of red and infrared LED light combined with under-eye cooling, to support the appearance of refreshed, radiant skin while I sit completely still.
Officially launched in Australia and New Zealand earlier this year, the Shark™ CryoGlow™ is included in the ARTG (Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods) and listed in WAND as required by MedSafe (New Zealand Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Authority). Developed in consultation with dermatologists, what makes this mask different is the engineering behind it. Powered by iQLED Technology™, it features 160 tri-wick LEDs delivering a total of 480 blue, red, and infrared light sources. The precise sequencing distributes energy evenly across the skin without gaps or hot spots. Centrally positioned adjustable straps reduce brow pressure, silicone eye shields protect without compromising coverage, and an automatic sensor that detects the face and dims the LEDs when the mask is removed.
Then there’s the under-eye cooling system, the first integrated system of its kind in an LED mask in Australian and New Zealand. The cryo-inspired treatment has three temperature-controlled chill levels and genuinely feels like a reset button for the eye area. The sensation alone is relaxing and refreshing, offering a moment of calm on long
days or short nights. The structure of the device also encourages consistency. The mask remembers your progress through the cycle, guiding you day by day. Once completed, you can transition to Skin Sustain mode, a four-minute setting designed to support skin that looks radiant and prepped. Using this mask feels simple, minimal, and indulgent.
For six minutes a day, it’s a futuristic pocket of calm amid the usual family chaos — an enjoyable way to support the appearance of skin that looks refreshed, firm, and luminous.
