The FDA-cleared and dermatologist-recommended device targets fine lines, dark spots, redness and uneven skin texture.

If you're not sold on the Contour Face, the current sale also includes popular items like the targeted Eye Brightener, the Contour Glove and the Omnilux Men LED face mask.
Supervising deals and coupons editor, Kara Cuzzone, also gives the mask high marks. 'The Omnilux Contour Face is the best LED mask I've tried. I like that it's lightweight and flexible, so it's easy to pack and take on the go,' she says. 'Plus, each session is only 10 minutes. After I use it, my skin looks noticeably brighter and my redness is less visible.' Commerce editor and co-author of this story Katherine Louie has been using this mask consistently for several months and says she's noticed less redness, fewer breakouts and less inflammation overall.
Yes, multiple Forbes Vetted editors and writers tested the Omnilux Contour Face and found it provided benefits including brightening, evening out skin tone and decreasing redness. As dermatologist Dr. Corey L. Hartman previously told Forbes Vetted, the device is FDA-cleared, and the brand supports its claims with clinically reviewed and published research. The mask features 132 medical-grade LEDs and optimized wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to deliver noticeable changes to the skin.
As long as users are consistent with their applications—wearing the mask three to five times per week for 10 minutes at a time—Omnilux says there should be visible results within four to six weeks. After the six-week period, users can move into routine maintenance treatments, though frequency required depends on individual lifestyle choices and long-term skin goals.
Omnilux advises wearing the LED mask three to five times per week to start. If you have more sensitive skin, you may prefer to start at three times per week and gradually build up to five times per week. Since everyone's experience with light therapy can be different, it's a good idea to consult with a dermatologist or esthetician before starting, especially if you're unsure how your skin might react.

Mexico's ‘cool-head' Trump approach tested by new tariff threat
(Bloomberg) — Mexican officials were taken aback by President Donald Trump's latest tariff threat after paying frequent visits to his top aides in Washington to convince him their efforts to fight drug trafficking were paying off. Singer Akon's Failed Futuristic City in Senegal Ends Up a $1 Billion Resort Why Did Cars Get So Hard to See Out Of? How German Cities Are Rethinking Women's Safety — With Taxis Philadelphia Reaches Pact With Workers to End Garbage Strike For months, US officials have been effusive about Mexican cooperation on issues related to the border and security. 'Very responsive,' raved Secretary of State Marco Rubio. 'Positive momentum,' Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called it. On Saturday, Trump blasted the country's response in a letter threatening 30% tariffs. 'What Mexico has done is not enough,' he wrote. 'Mexico still has not stopped the Cartels.' Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum called for the country to keep 'a cool head,' but a sense of exasperation swept over people involved in the US negotiations, according to people familiar with the talks. Their cordial approach suddenly seemed to have yielded little — for now. The neighboring nation is looking to persuade Trump that Mexico and the US are complementary economies, and that Mexico is willing to cooperate against cartels in unprecedented ways, added the people, who asked for anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. Trump's threat of a 30% rate, with exceptions for products certified under the trilateral trade agreement between the two countries and Canada, is unlikely to drastically move the needle beyond the 25% rate already in place, according to Bloomberg Economics. Nearly 83% of US imports from Mexico were exempt from tariffs in May, mainly due to exemptions on USMCA-compliant goods. For rolling updates on tariffs, check out our liveblog > But Trump's 30% threat isn't much better than the 35% rate he announced for Canada, which has taken a much more confrontational tone with Trump while Mexico played nice. Some US officials tried to suggest cooperation could continue despite the letter. US Ambassador to Mexico Ronald Johnson said Saturday in Mexico City that Sheinbaum and Trump have a 'wonderful relationship' and no partnership should be easier than between their two countries. 'America First doesn't mean America alone. In fact, I'm here in Mexico with my arms open in friendship with a message of true respect for the sovereignty of Mexico,' he said at a tuxedo-filled gala thrown in his honor and attended by many from Mexico's political, business and media elite. Sector-specific tariffs, including on steel and soon on copper, had given Mexico in recent weeks reasons to appeal to Trump's officials for a fairer deal as it seeks to protect its position as the US's top trade partner in the world. It had shielded part of its export industry by negotiating to have a previously announced auto duty limited to the non-US portion of cars. 'Mexican authorities will likely continue to engage constructively with the US administration, on border control and to some extent also by hardening the stance against the drug cartels and the flow of fentanyl into the US, in order to preserve access to the US market under competitive conditions,' wrote Alberto Ramos, head of Latin American economics at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., in a note. Mexico's peace offerings have included the extradition of dozens of high-profile detainees involved in the drug trade, and an increase in busts along drug routes. Its security minister has been one of the visitors in the Washington talks, and on the domestic front the government has pushed for legislation to increase investigations of unsolved crimes. But ties have also been strained in recent weeks by the US announcement of a move to cut off three Mexican financial firms over potential involvement in money laundering for drug cartels. For now, Mexico is staying the course. The Economy Ministry said in a statement on Saturday that Minister Marcelo Ebrard had been in Washington since Friday for negotiations with the White House, the US Trade Representative and the Commerce Department, and that Mexico would defend its interests. The ministry called Trump's proposed tariff increase, to take effect Aug. 1, 'unfair.' Mexico will work to find 'an alternative that allows us to protect businesses and jobs on both sides of the border,' the ministry said.

Markets can't be bullied, and the US could face a financial crisis ahead of next year's midterm elections, former IMF official says
The dollar's plunge and gold's surge this year are signs that financial markets are not pleased with the Trump administration's policies, according to a former IMF official. Unless there is a major course correction, the U.S. should brace for a financial crisis leading up to congressional midterm elections next year, he warned. The world is losing faith in the dollar, and the U.S. could suffer a financial crisis next year, according to Desmond Lachman, a former deputy director of the International Monetary Fund's Policy Development and Review Department. In a Project Syndicate column on Monday, he noted that the U.S. fiscal situation was already shaky before President Donald Trump began his second term. But his tax cuts in the megabill that was just signed into law will add trillions to the deficit. Meanwhile, his tariffs and pressure on the Federal Reserve to lower rates have further weakened confidence in the dollar by stoking inflation concerns, Lachman, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, explained. 'Add to that Trump's apparent disregard for the rule of law, and markets see little reason to trust the US,' he added. In his view, that's why the dollar sank 10% against other top global currencies in the first half of the year, marking the greenback's worst such performance since 1953. The plunge came despite the tariffs and the wider premium between U.S. rates and those of other top economies, which would normally boost the dollar. Gold's surge of more than 25% this year is another sign of collapsing market confidence in the U.S., as is Treasury yields remaining elevated despite market turbulence, Lachman said. That all adds up to a very clear vote of no confidence from financial markets in the Trump administration's economic policies. 'The problem for Trump is that, unlike politicians, markets cannot be pressured or primaried,' he said, referring to the threat of ousting disobedient lawmakers via primary elections. 'If he refuses to heed investors' warnings, as seems likely, the US should brace for a dollar and bond-market crisis in the run-up to next year's midterm elections. The days of the world letting America live beyond its means are rapidly coming to an end.' To be sure, many on Wall Street have been sounding alarms about tariffs, inflation, widening deficits, unsustainable debt, the dollar and demand for U.S. Treasuries. But so far, tariffs have failed to trigger a spike in inflation, while the revenue collected from the duties is on pace to reach $300 billion this year. And despite warnings that 'bond vigilantes' will express displeasure with fiscal policies by demanding higher yields on bonds, that has yet to materialize. In fact, recent Treasury auctions have shown there remains healthy demand for U.S. debt, for now. In addition, many analysts see the dollar retaining its status as the world's primary reserve currency despite attempts to push alternatives. John Queen, fixed income portfolio manager at Capital Group, said in a recent note that bond markets are adapting to higher debt levels, adding that the interest rate market is 'incredibly efficient' at pricing in risks. While he is concerned about the size of the debt and its impact on borrowing costs, it's unknown when those worries will become reality. 'Many people have predicted that catastrophe is right around the corner and, someday, one of them is going to be right,' Queen wrote. 'Unfortunately, they are just guessing, so I am not going to predict that. I am instead going to say that I think the market is good at pricing in those concerns.'

Dems couldn't save Biden's energy programs — so they'll try to make them a weapon against the GOP
Democrats failed to excite voters last year with the promise that former President Joe Biden's clean energy tax breaks would lower prices, expand the power grid and create hundreds of thousands of jobs. But the passage of the GOP megabill is giving them a chance to try the economic sales pitch again — this time, by warning that Republican policies will cost Americans money. That message represents an attempt by Democrats to craft a winning political argument out of President Donald Trump's newly signed tax and spending law, which eviscerated Biden-era incentives for clean technologies such as wind and solar power. It's also an effort to flip the usual partisan energy debate by portraying Republicans as the party of electricity shortages and rising prices. Their targets would include the moderate Republicans who spent months urging Congress to preserve the Biden tax breaks because of their projected economic gains for GOP-held districts — only to fold and vote for Trump's bill anyway. Trump is moving aggressively to enforce the law, ordering agencies to hasten the phase-out of green energy incentives despite a widespread consensus that the U.S. will need to ramp up electricity from all sources to meet the growing power demands of artificial intelligence. 'Democrats now have the high ground of price and Republicans are now the party of electricity shortages,' Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) said in an interview. 'We're just not going to have enough electrons to go around and the prices will go up — and that will be 100 percent because Republicans passed this ridiculous bill.' Schatz added that Democrats don't need to lead with their traditional message that clean energy is essential for dealing with climate change. 'The people who care about climate are already with us,' he said. Besides Schatz, Democratic climate leaders aligned on the new messaging include Sen. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico and Rep. Kathy Castor of Florida. Eleven Democrats said in interviews that an emerging consensus in their party is cohering around a new campaign emphasizing pocketbook issues. Some of the Democrats' environmental allies are going all-in on the message. Clean Energy for America, an advocacy group, plans to plaster billboards with ads in seven swing districts attacking Republican House members who 'just voted to raise your electricity bill.' Climate Power, a Democratic-aligned strategic communications operation, launched a six-figure national advertisement playing heavily on Fox News contending that the GOP's policies renege on Trump's promise to lower prices. Republicans scoffed at the notion that Democrats will succeed in promoting themselves as energy price populists. 'It's tough for the Democrats because they've made climate their energy priority for decades,' said Alex Conant, a Republican strategist and former aide to then-Sen. Marco Rubio who is a partner at Firehouse Strategies. 'Voters associate liberals with prioritizing climate change over energy affordability.' Also inconvenient for the Democrats is the fact that oil prices are hovering near four-year lows, GOP strategist Ford O'Connell said. So even if Democrats cling to a message that Republican policies raise energy prices, he said, those price hikes are unlikely to show up in the real world before the midterms. 'That's just something that Democrats keep saying over and over, but it's just not going to be true because the argument defies gravity,' O'Connell said. Blaming Republicans for future energy price increases is 'too abstract,' said David Victor, an expert on climate change and energy markets who works as a professor of innovation and public policy at the University of California San Diego. He added that for people who simply believe that green energy is expensive, the Democratic counterargument will be drowned out. 'People don't believe it,' he said. 'All kinds of claims are being made.' The Democrats' plans to seize on the energy argument is part of a larger effort to hammer Republicans over projections that the megabill will steer huge tax breaks to the wealthy while kicking millions of poorer Americans off Medicaid. It also recognizes the new realities of the U.S. energy markets, including the rise of AI data centers and the fact that U.S. power consumption is moving up after almost 20 years of nearly flat demand. Democrats believe the time is ripe to revive the call to speed the growth of wind and solar power — and bash the Republicans for taking the green power incentives off the table. They also contend that Trump's law will spike power prices by making renewable electricity more expensive. 'We're going to need to build assets for a growing grid. Choosing not to build things is fucking stupid,' Rep. Sean Casten (D-Illinois) said. Castor agreed with the messaging approach, adding that her Tampa-area constituents are already well aware of how climate change is affecting their lives. But when she talks to them about what's at stake in the Capitol and the White House, she said she focuses on 'higher costs, higher electric bills.' 'Bread and butter, kitchen table issues — costs, their electric bills — are not going to see relief from Republicans,' said Castor, who chaired the now-defunct House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis when Democrats controlled the House from 2020 through 2022. Of course, the jobs-and-prosperity message failed Democrats at the ballot box last year, possibly because the slow rollout of Biden's $1 trillion-plus in energy, climate and infrastructure spending meant that many of its projected economic gains had not yet appeared. The Biden administration's gargantuan spending initiatives also played little role in the campaign messaging by his would-be successor, then-Vice President Kamala Harris. One economic data point in the Democrats' favor this time: Power bills have increased an average of 9 percent since January, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, giving Democrats a chance to try to tie any utility bill increases to the Republican law. That upward pressure on prices is likely to accelerate, given that the U.S. doesn't have enough power supply to meet a nearly 20-percent projected increase in demand during the next five years. And the new Republican budget law raises costs on wind and solar — even though those sources, combined with batteries, accounted for 93 percent of all new power added to the grid last year, according to the EIA. Republicans have vowed to plug the gap with fossil fuels and nuclear energy. (Trump's new law includes policies to boost production from those sources, for example by slashing royalties for fossil fuel production on federal land.) But orders for natural gas turbines face a years-long delay. New nuclear energy faces cost challenges and long lead times. And no utility has announced plans to build new coal-fired power plants, which still face an uncertain regulatory environment and stiff competition from other energy sources. Environmental and clean energy groups have largely swung behind the economic message. One group in the pro-pocketbook crowd, Climate Power, called Republicans' bill a 'National Rate Hike' in a memo last month. It cited an analysis by the Clean Energy Buyers Association, a trade group working with data center developers, that said repealing tax credits would raise household power bills $110 annually as early as next year. But John Marshall, CEO of the Potential Energy Coalition, said the most persuasive way to get people to care about transitioning to clean energy and tackling planet-heating emissions is to talk about climate change more, not less. On a matter that may be instructive for energy policy, voters prefer positions that encourage more options, not fewer, said Marshall, whose nonpartisan, nonprofit organization conducts research on climate communication. Grounding conversations in how climate change affects pocketbooks — such as rising insurance premiums — also moves people. But talk of future jobs at the national scale sounds too theoretical, he said. 'Climate is not a dirty word,' he said. 'The smart play is to talk about the issue, but just talk about it in a slightly different way and make it relevant to different people's lives.' During last year's campaign, supporters of the Democratic policies faced 'a continual challenge' in trying to warn that Republican policies would kill future clean energy jobs and investments, said Jason Walsh, executive director of the BlueGreen Alliance, a coalition of labor and environmental groups. But he said enough of those jobs have since materialized that it's possible to hold GOP lawmakers accountable for businesses that close or construction projects that shut down. 'The new thing is we are moving from the abstract and the conceptual to, 'This is what they did,'' Walsh said. Democrats' environmental allies also need to confront the lingering reputation of a 'green premium' that leads many people to believe that wind and solar power are expensive, said Holly Burke, spokesperson for the green group Evergreen Action. In fact, wind and solar are cheaper per megawatt-hour than coal, and in many places they're even competitive with natural gas, the United States' dominant electricity source. Those facts give Democrats a potential opening, Burke said. 'In October 2026 I'd be surprised if candidates are messaging on this specific bill, but what they will be messaging on is the impacts,' she said. 'Your utility bill is your utility bill. Folks know Trump ran on lowering electricity costs and that Republicans are in charge.'
