The FOREO UFO is a “smart mask” device. You clip a FOREO activated mask onto it, then hold it to your face for a short session while it uses gentle heat, cooling, LED light and sonic pulsations to help the mask feel more effective. It’s designed to replace a 15-minute sheet mask with a quick routine controlled by FOREO’s app.
Verdict: a nice treat if you enjoy masking and like gadgets. The masks are an ongoing cost, and the benefits are mostly about comfort and hydration rather than major skin changes. The UFO 2 is the model we track; the UFO 3 is the newer version.

UFO 3 vs UFO 2

- Relaxing: heat, cooling and pulsations feel spa-like.
- Well-rated masks: FOREO’s activated masks have thousands of ratings.
Cons
- Ongoing cost: masks need to be rebought regularly.
- Mixed device rating: the UFO 2 listing has 4.0 stars from about 420 ratings.
- Limited evidence for big skin changes beyond hydration.
Mask Costs

| Acai Berry anti-aging | 4.6 stars, about 280 ratings |
Who Should Buy It
- Yes: you love masks, want a faster routine and enjoy gadgets.
- Look elsewhere: if you want toning, the FOREO Bear 2 does microcurrent; for LED, a full LED face mask covers more skin.
