We are affiliate-funded — and we tell you, on every page. When we recommend a product, we may earn a commission if you buy through our links. We do not accept paid placement, sponsored reviews, or editorial fees. Our rankings are based on published specs (wavelength, irradiance, FDA clearance) and hands-on testing where possible.
We follow the FTC Endorsement Guides (16 CFR §255). Every affiliate link is disclosed in plain language at the top of the relevant page and inline near the first product mention. See our full Affiliate Disclosure for details.
What we do not do: claim red light therapy "treats" or "cures" any condition. The FDA has not approved red light for cosmetic indications — most devices are cleared (Class II 510(k)), which is a different and weaker standard. Read our explainer on FDA Cleared vs Approved.
