Short answer

It has a separate mode for each. The Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask (FW312, Blue Frost) offers a 6-minute Better Aging treatment that Shark aims at fine lines and sagging skin, and an 8-minute Skin Clearing treatment that Shark says is meant to reduce acne and redness. Shark says you select a routine, track progress and can pause or resume.

How the CryoGlow splits acne care and anti-aging care

Better Aging for fine lines

Shark describes Better Aging as a 6-minute treatment using red and infrared LEDs, aimed at minimizing fine lines and firming sagging skin. Shark says the results for this mode come from a 12-week study of 60 subjects using it once a day.

Skin Clearing for breakouts

Skin Clearing is an 8-minute session of blue, infrared and red LEDs that Shark says is meant to reduce acne and redness for a more even, clear complexion. Shark's results for this mode come from a 12-week study of 59 subjects using it once a day.

Skin Sustain to keep results going

Shark says its 4-minute Skin Sustain sessions use red, blue and infrared LEDs to enhance skin radiance, and that the mode is designed to brighten and maintain results after an 8-week cycle.

What Shark says about the mask itself

Shark describes the CryoGlow as clinically tested and FDA-cleared, and says its tri-wick LED sequencing gives seamless coverage without gaps or hot spots.

How to use it

  1. Charge the mask with the USB-C charging cable from the box.
  2. Select a routine: Better Aging, Skin Clearing, Skin Sustain or Under-Eye Revive.
  3. Adjust your chill level and pause or resume as needed.

Shark's FW312 product page does not give step-by-step instructions; these steps use only the modes, box contents and controls it lists.
