Aldi’s cult LED beauty range is back from 26 July, this time with a new LED Hairbrush and LED Face Sculptor joining the line-up – all priced at £12.99
Aldi’s LED beauty Specialbuys return to stores nationwide from 26 July.
Two products join the range: an LED Hairbrush and an LED Face Sculptor.
The LED Wand and LED Face Mask are back too.
All four use red LED light, with some adding vibration for a massage effect.
Each costs only £12.99 – but they’re Specialbuys, so once they’ve gone, they’re gone.
Aldi’s beauty Specialbuys have a habit of selling out fast, and even by regular standards, its LED range flies off the shelves.
Shoppers have queued for LED face masks priced at a fraction of what you’d pay for the same tech elsewhere, and this summer the supermarket is doing it again.
From 26 July, its LED Wand and LED Face Mask are coming back and they’re being joined by two new gadgets – an LED Hairbrush and an LED Face Sculptor.
LED skincare tools used to be something you’d only find in a dermatologist’s clinic or on a premium beauty brand’s shelf.
Budget versions have since become one of the bigger stories in at-home beauty, and we’ve looked at plenty of them – from the best LED masks for face and red light therapy in the UK to whether devices like these actually match up to their claims.
Everything in the range is £12.99.
Below we go through what’s in Aldi’s new range, what LED light does (and doesn’t do), and whether it’s worth adding to your routine at this price.

What’s in Aldi’s LED beauty range?
The full line-up landing in Aldi stores from 26 July is:
LED Hairbrush (new) – £12.99LED Face Sculptor (new) – £12.99LED Wand (returning) – £12.99LED Face Mask (returning) – £12.99
All four use red LED light. Some pair it with vibration, so you’re getting a light treatment and a bit of a massage in one go. As with all Aldi Specialbuys, this is a limited run rather than a permanent stock line, so it won’t be sitting on shelves indefinitely.
What does LED light actually do for skin and hair

Red LED light is the wavelength you’ll see most often in home devices, and it’s also the one with the strongest evidence behind it.
On skin, it’s been shown to support collagen production and calm inflammation, which is why it turns up in products aimed at fine lines, redness and general dullness.On the scalp, the theory is similar – red light is thought to stimulate circulation around the hair follicles, which may support healthier-looking growth over time.
The research behind red light therapy is built on consistent, repeated use over weeks, not a single session. We’ve gone into more detail on how it works and what the evidence actually shows in our guide to red light therapy for skin and hair health, and we’ve also looked at whether it could help with menopause-related skin changes, if that’s something you’re dealing with.
The main thing to keep in mind with any budget LED device is that the light itself does the work, not the brand name attached to it. A cheaper gadget with the right wavelength can still deliver a genuine effect, provided you actually use it regularly.
Aldi’s LED Hairbrush

The LED Hairbrush is one of the two new additions to Aldi’s range, and it’s aimed at scalp care rather than styling. It combines red LED light with gentle vibrations as you brush, with the idea being that both help stimulate the scalp.
In practical terms, you’d use this in place of your normal brush, working it through dry or damp hair for a few minutes a session. It’s not going to replace a proper scalp treatment if you’re dealing with a specific issue like flaking or excessive oil, and if that’s you, it’s worth looking at what’s actually causing it first – our guide to fixing an itchy, sore, oily or dry scalp covers the common culprits.
Where it fits well is as a low-effort addition to a hair routine – something you do while your hair’s drying anyway, rather than an extra step you have to remember. At £12.99, it’s a low-risk way to try the concept without committing to a pricier scalp device.
Aldi’s LED Face Sculptor
The second new launch is the LED Face Sculptor, which combines vibration with red light and is marketed on toning and lifting the face.
Devices like this usually work by moving across the skin in upward strokes, using the vibration to massage the muscle and skin tissue while the light works underneath.
It’s worth being realistic about what “sculpting” means here.
A handheld device isn’t going to change your bone structure or deliver a dramatic lift in one go – what it can do, with regular use, is support circulation and give skin a temporarily firmer, brighter look immediately after use, plus the longer-term benefits associated with red light exposure.
If you already use facial massage tools as part of your routine, this is a reasonable way to add a light element to that step without spending much more.
Aldi’s LED Wand

The LED Wand is a returning product, and it’s built for targeted use rather than treating your whole face at once. It’s designed to be held against individual problem areas – a spot, a patch of redness, a specific line – for a focused dose of light rather than a general session.
That makes it a decent option if you don’t want to commit to a full mask session every time, or if you’re mainly dealing with one or two specific concerns rather than an all-over routine. It’s a smaller, cheaper commitment than a full mask, which is likely part of why it’s back for another year.
Aldi’s LED Face Mask
The LED Face Mask is the one that originally built Aldi’s reputation in this category, and it’s back by popular demand.
It covers the full face and offers seven different light settings, aimed at fine lines, redness and general inflammation depending on which you use.
Multiple settings means you can tailor a session to what your skin needs on a given day, rather than being stuck with one fixed treatment.
If you’re curious how this compares to pricier LED masks on the market, we’ve reviewed a few, including the Shark CryoGlow LED face mask and the Dreame Chrona, both of which sit well above Aldi’s £12.99 price point.
Price and availability
All four products – the LED Hairbrush, LED Face Sculptor, LED Wand and LED Face Mask – are priced at £12.99 each. They land in Aldi stores nationwide from 26 July, sold as Specialbuys, which means limited stock and no guarantee of a restock once they’ve gone.
If you’ve had good experiences with Aldi’s beauty Specialbuys before, this range sits alongside its wider run of budget skincare, including the Lacura vegan skincare line.
Is Aldi’s LED range worth it?
At £12.99, this isn’t a big financial commitment. You’re not paying for a brand name or a fancy app connection, you’re paying for a red LED light in a handheld device, and that’s a reasonable way to test whether this kind of tool fits into your routine before spending considerably more on a premium version.
What you shouldn’t expect is a dramatic transformation from a few uses.
LED devices, budget or otherwise, need consistent use over weeks to show any real effect. If you’re prepared to actually build it into your routine – brushing your scalp while your hair dries, or running the mask a few times a week – there’s a reasonable case for trying it. If it’s likely to sit in a drawer after the second use, save your money.
