Guide to the 7 Light Colors

Your Cleolight™ mask features 192 LEDs across 7 different wavelengths, each targeting different skin concerns at different depths. Here's what each color does and when to use it.


🔴 Red — 633nm | Anti-Aging

Best for: Fine lines, wrinkles, collagen production, skin firmness

Red light is the most studied wavelength in LED therapy. At 633nm it penetrates into the dermis, stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for firm, youthful-looking skin. Regular use supports skin renewal and reduces the visible depth of fine lines and wrinkles over time.


🔵 Blue — 415nm | Acne & Blemishes

Best for: Active breakouts, acne-prone skin, oily skin

Blue light targets the bacteria responsible for acne (Cutibacterium acnes) near the skin's surface. It works without harsh ingredients, making it suitable for sensitive skin types that don't tolerate topical treatments well.


🟢 Green — 525nm | Hyperpigmentation & Redness

Best for: Dark spots, uneven tone, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, redness, oily skin

Green light works at a mid-level depth to target melanin-producing cells (melanocytes), helping to gradually reduce the appearance of sun spots, age spots, and uneven pigmentation. It also has a calming effect on redness and irritation.


🩵 Cyan — 490nm | Soothing & Inflammation

Best for: Sensitive skin, post-procedure recovery, redness, inflammation

Cyan sits between blue and green and combines the antibacterial benefits of blue with the calming effects of green. It's particularly useful for soothing inflamed or reactive skin.


🟡 Yellow — 590nm | Radiance & Lymphatic Drainage

Best for: Dullness, puffiness, overall glow

Yellow light stimulates lymphatic flow and promotes circulation near the skin's surface, which can reduce puffiness and give skin a more luminous, refreshed appearance. It's a great choice for a pre-event glow session.


🟣 Purple — Red + Blue Combined | Acne + Anti-Aging

Best for: Acne-prone skin that also shows early signs of aging

Purple combines the wavelengths of red and blue simultaneously, making it ideal for those dealing with both active breakouts and aging concerns at the same time.


⚪ White — Full Spectrum | Penetration & Overall Rejuvenation

Best for: General skin health, maximizing absorption of other wavelengths

White light is the broadest setting, delivering a full spectrum of visible light. It penetrates to the deepest level of all the colors, supporting overall cell function and energy production. Many users combine white light sessions with their skincare routine to enhance product absorption.


How to Switch Between Colors

  • Tap the right side of the mask (when looking at it face-on) to cycle forward through the colors
  • Tap the left side to cycle backward
  • The mask also has a multi-color cycling mode that rotates through all 7 colors automatically — useful if you want to cover all bases in a single session

Which Color Should I Start With?

If you're unsure where to begin, red is the most versatile starting point for general anti-aging and skin health. If acne is your primary concern, start with blue. You can switch colors or combine modes as your routine evolves.


How Often Should I Use Each Color?

For best results, use your mask daily. Most customers use it 3–5 times per week and still see great improvements — consistency matters more than frequency. Sessions are typically 10–15 minutes.
