If you’ve been with me for a while, you’ll know I love a luxury lip moment, and few brands do luxury quite like La Mer. Their skincare has had icon status for years, and their lip balm ranks in my all time favourites. So today I’m giving you the full lowdown on the new La Mer The Lip Treatment: what it does, how it feels, whether it actually works, and if it justifies its rather fancy price tag.
What Is La Mer The Lip Treatment?
La Mer The Lip Treatment – Bare & Honey
La Mer describes this as a soothing, conditioning lip serum-balm hybrid designed to soften lines, strengthen the lip barrier, and leave everything smoother, plumper, and more resilient over time.
It comes in a chic yet chunky silver tube that’s perfect to whip out of your handbag. Very La Mer.
The magic, as always, comes from their signature ingredients:
Miracle Broth™ – their famous fermented sea kelp elixir for healing and renewal
Lime Tea Concentrate – antioxidant protection
Nourishing emollients – to deeply moisturise and smooth
Barrier-supporting ferments – to help strengthen over time
How to use it
Apply directly onto lips as needed throughout the day. You can layer under The Lip Volumizer and it may also be worn as a primer before applying your favourite lip colour.
My Review
La Mer The Lip Treatment packaging
Here’s the honest truth: my lips are already in pretty great condition because I use my own REESON Glossing Balm* every single day. So I can’t really say how this performs on seriously dry or chapped lips. That said, I trust La Mer. Their original lip balm in the pot has been a staple of mine for years and is my absolute favourite classic-style lip balm. Check out my Best Lip Balms for Dry Lips for 2025 for more favourites.
And just to be clear, yes, I am shamelessly promoting my own brand here, but if you can’t quite stretch to the La Mer price tag, you should definitely try a REESON Glossing Balm*. They give a more glossy, high-shine makeup effect, while still delivering serious lip treatment benefits. Win-win.
Texture & Application
La Mer The Lip Treatment – Honey
The formula is beautifully rich without being sticky. It is silky, balmy, and immediately comforting with that soft minty buzz that’s synonymous with the original La Mer lip balm. It smooths across the lips in a single sweep and gives that soft-focus sheen that makes lips look instantly healthier.
Results
Even though my lips were already in good condition, I still noticed:
Lips felt hydrated and soft for hours
Texture looked smoother
My lipstick applied more evenly
It’s worth noting that if your lips were in need of serious repair, this treatment would likely deliver even more noticeable results. I’ve got full faith in it because, again, La Mer is a brand that knows lip care.
The Shades & Swatches
La Mer The Lip Treatment Shades
The Lip Treatment is mostly about care, but La Mer also offers a few subtle tinted versions to give a hint of colour.
La Mer The Lip Treatment Shades
The shade Honey is a soft golden-beige with a natural luminous glow. Perfect for a barely-there wash of colour, but the untinted version is just as lovely if you want pure treatment with no shimmer or tint.
La Mer The Lip Treatment Swatches: Bare & Honey
Pros & Cons
Pros
Deep hydration with long-term benefits
Elegant, buildable colour if you want a tint
Luxurious texture & feel
Multi-purpose: balm, treatment, and primer all in one
Beautiful packaging
Cons
Premium price (£65)
My Final Verdict
If you’re looking for a lip treatment that genuinely improves the condition of your lips, La Mer The Lip Treatment is a dream. It’s a luxury indulgence, but one that delivers on hydration, smoothness, and barrier support.
Even though my lips didn’t need rescuing, I can confidently say this works.

You know I love a good skincare gadget, and LED masks are always interesting, as they offer up an easy way to incorporate salon-type technology into the every day. So when I saw that Beauty Pie had launched a brand-new device, the Dynamo Deep LED Collagen-Boosting Mask, I had to investigate.
Now, I haven’t properly tested it yet (this is my first look post), but there’s already tons of buzz about it, and I know lots of you are googling for reviews. So, let’s have a deep dive into everything we know so far, including the tech, the price, how it compares with Beauty Pie’s previous LED mask, and how it stacks up against the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask.
Beauty Pie Dynamo Deep LED Mask vs CurrentBody LED Mask
Once I’ve put it properly through its paces, I’ll update this post with my full review, results and and thoughts, so definitely bookmark or sign up to my newsletter so you don’t miss that update.
Meet the Beauty Pie Dynamo Deep LED Collagen-Boosting Mask
Beauty Pie Dynamo Deep LED Collagen-Boosting Mask
This new mask is part of Beauty Pie’s ever-growing line-up of pro-grade skincare tech for home use. It’s designed to use three wavelengths of light, red, near-infrared and deep-infrared to stimulate collagen, boost glow, and generally help skin look smoother and bouncier over time.
The brand says the deeper wavelengths are able to penetrate more layers of the skin, supporting elasticity and reducing fine lines from the inside out.
It’s a really lovely flexible silicone design, so it moulds nicely to the face, and it comes with an adjustable head strap and USB-C charging cable. Beauty Pie say it delivers professional-grade LED performance at a much lower price than many of the luxury models on the market (and we’ll get to that comparison in a sec).
Beauty Pie say, “There’s LED. Then there’s Deep LED” and that this device should deliver visibly smoother, firmer skin in a week. Let’s see!!
The Tech Explained: How LED Light Boosts Collagen
If you’re new to LED, here’s a quick refresher.
LED (Light Emitting Diode) therapy works by sending specific wavelengths of light energy into the skin. Different wavelengths penetrate to different depths:
Red light (around 630 nm) helps to boost collagen production and calm inflammation.
Deep-infrared light (900 nm +) goes even further into the dermis, the “collagen factory” layer, where it may help strengthen the skin’s foundation and resilience.
Unlike UV, these wavelengths don’t cause damage or heat; they gently energise the cells so they work more efficiently.
My top tip: Consistency is key. LED masks are only worth investing in if you know you are going to use them regularly – around 3-5 times a week. Long term results build over time.
And speaking of wavelengths, you might be wondering why Beauty Pie went one step further with their new 1070 nm “deep-infrared” tech…
Why Does Beauty Pie Use a 1070 nm Wavelength?
You might be wondering, if all the studies refer to 633 nm red and 830 nm near-infrared light, why has Beauty Pie gone deeper with 1070 nm “deep-infrared”?
Well, this longer wavelength is designed to travel further into the skin, past the surface layers that red light targets and down into the deeper dermis where your fibroblasts (aka your collagen-making cells) live. The idea is that by reaching those lower layers, 1070 nm light can help reinforce skin structure, support elasticity, and boost circulation from within.
It’s the same kind of wavelength often used in medical-grade LED and laser treatments for wound healing and muscle recovery, so it’s not totally new to science, just newer to beauty devices. Think of it as Beauty Pie taking things up a gear: still giving you the proven collagen-boosting red and near-infrared wavelengths, but adding an extra “deep-infrared” dimension for potentially more intensive rejuvenation.
That said, the research on 1070 nm for cosmetic anti-ageing is still growing, so it’ll be really interesting to see whether that deeper wavelength makes a visible difference once I’ve tested it properly. Stay tuned for that part!
The newest Currentbody Mask uses this deeper wavelength too, however, their price is £399, which is a lot more expensive than this Beauty Pie Dynamo Deep LEDMask even on the non-member price, and even with one of the MANY CurrentBody discount codes floating around!
The Science Bit – Why 1070 nm Matters
1. It penetrates even deeper layers of the skin.
1070 nm light sits in the “deep-infrared” range, which travels further through the dermis than 830 nm.
This means it can reach fibroblasts and vascular structures that lie deeper under the surface, potentially improving skin density, elasticity, and micro-circulation.
It’s not just about wrinkles on the surface; deeper light can support the underlying “scaffolding” of the skin.
2. It targets different cellular mechanisms.
While red and near-IR wavelengths work mainly by stimulating mitochondria to produce more ATP (cell energy), studies suggest that 1070 nm also influences nitric oxide release and micro-vascular flow, helping oxygen and nutrients reach the skin more effectively.
That could mean a plumper, more oxygenated look over time, even if the immediate “glow” is less visible than with red light.
3. It’s a newer wavelength for consumer LED therapy, but it’s gaining interest.
Several medical-grade devices (for wound healing, pain relief and even hair regrowth) already use 1064–1072 nm because of its deep tissue penetration.
Beauty Pie seem to be positioning the Dynamo Deep as a “next-generation” LED mask, extending beyond the usual 830 nm range into deeper wavelengths for a potentially stronger collagen effect.
Think of it as moving from “skin surface support” to “structural reinforcement.”
But: Important Context
The evidence base for 1070 nm in cosmetic anti-ageing is still emerging. It’s not as well-documented as 633 nm or 830 nm in published peer-reviewed skincare studies.
So while it’s scientifically plausible (and promising), we don’t yet have the same depth of human clinical data showing exactly how much more effective it is for wrinkles or firmness.
I’ll out it to the test and let you know what I think.
Proven to improve the overall skin complexion, using 1070nm (the deepest penetrating wavelength used in at-home LED devices to date) to reduce under-eye bags and puffiness, and smooth texture and tone
Helps the skin look fresh & hydrated (using 830nm) – supports the skin’s natural restorative and healing function, to boost circulation, improve blood flow, and increase oxygen
Skin looks pump & glowing (using 630nm) – enhances the production of collagen and reduces redness – to leave skin radiant and hydrated
15 proven benefits – including firming, smoothing, skin-softening, reducing the appearance of fine lines, visibly improving skin tone and improving the appearance of pores
How To Use the Beauty Pie Dynamo Deep LED Mask
All you need to do is place the Beauty Pie Dynamo Deep LED mask over your face when it’s clean and free from product. Thread the two sets of straps through the inlet holes on either side of the mask, and fasten behind your head. You can adjust the forehead and chin sections to tailor your fit. Finally you just need to connect the mask to the controller and switch on. The treatment automatically switches off after 10 minutes. Done!
Beauty Pie Dynamo Deep LED Treatment Recommendations:
For best results, Beauty recommend using the new mask 3-5 days a week for a minimum of 6 weeks. Personally, I think if you can make LED part of your every day routine, you will really see the results.
Beauty Pie Dynamo Deep LED vs the Previous Beauty Pie LED Mask
Beauty Pie’s last LED mask (the C-Wave Dual Light Mask) already had a loyal following, but there were a few niggles, mainly that it was fairly rigid and offered only two wavelengths. I can’t comment on this, as I never tried the original Beauty Pie mask.
Here’s how the new Beauty Pie Dynamo Deep LED compares on paper:

The main difference here to me is the price! The Beauty Pie mask is significantly cheaper, whether you are a Beauty Pie member or not. Even with the prolific amount of CurrentBody discount codes, Beauty Pie will still be better value for money.
My early thoughts: If the performance matches the spec sheet, Beauty Pie might have produced one of the best value LED masks out there. But of course, I’ll need to test it to see how it truly compares on comfort, fit and glow factor.
Who Is The Beauty Pie Dynamo Deep LED Collagen-Boosting Mask For?
Skincare lovers who already love at-home tech
Those targeting firmness, elasticity, fine lines and texture
Anyone who wants salon-style results without the clinic price tag
If you’re new to LED, you might prefer to start with something simpler, but personally if I think that if you want to get serious about collagen support, the Dynamo Deep could be the one.
My Testing Plan (Full Review Coming Soon!)
I’ll be using the Dynamo Deep LED Mask 3–4 times a week for at least six weeks on clean skin before serum or moisturiser. I will report back here after a week or two as they have this 7 day claim – Delivers visibly smoother, firmer skin in as little as 7 days – so that you can understand the shorter term benefits too. I will be tracking:
Glow and brightness
Fine lines and firmness
Redness and sensitivity
Comfort and wear-time
Once I’ve finished the testing period, I’ll update this post with my full review and and final verdict.

LED Mask FAQs
How often should you use an LED mask?
Most dermatologists recommend 3-5 times a week for 10-15 minutes. Consistency matters more than session length.
Does LED really boost collagen?
Yes. Red and near-infrared light have been shown in clinical studies to stimulate fibroblasts, which produce collagen and elastin.
Can I use LED with retinol or acids?
Yes, but not at the same time. Use LED on clean skin, then apply actives afterwards (ideally on alternate evenings).
Is it safe for all skin types?
Generally yes, though if you have photosensitivity or are taking medications that increase light sensitivity, check with your doctor first.
What wavelengths are best?
For anti-ageing: around 633 nm (red) and 830 nm (near-infrared) have the most evidence behind them. However, 1070 nm (deep-infrared), used in the Beauty Pie Dynamo Deep LED mask, promises to penetrate beyond the surface layers reached by red light and into the deeper dermis, where fibroblasts – the cells responsible for producing collagen – are found.
Update: My Full Review & Results
Update coming soon! I’m currently testing the Beauty Pie Dynamo Deep LED Mask and will report back here with my full results and verdict after a week or so, and once I’ve completed my six-week trial.
Final Thoughts (For Now)
On paper, the Beauty Pie Dynamo Deep LED Mask looks incredibly promising – professional-grade tech, a sleek flexible design, and a price that undercuts the major players.
If it performs as well as the spec sheet suggests, it could easily become one of 2025’s top beauty gadgets. I’ll keep you posted once I’ve put it through its paces!
