Skin expert Dr Ifeoma Ejikeme unveils ZKIN, the next-gen LED face mask using medical-grade silicone and advanced light therapy for radiant, healthy skin
World-renowned skin expert and medical consultant Dr Ifeoma Ejikeme launches ZKIN, a new LED face mask designed to redefine the at-home skincare experience. After recognising key gaps in current devices—such as discomfort, limited power, and poor fit—Dr Ejikeme created the ZKIN LED Light Therapy Face Mask (£499), a flexible, medical-grade silicone mask that moulds to the face for maximum light contact and enhanced results. It’s a high-performance solution engineered for all skin types, designed with the needs of real people in mind.
Why the ZKIN LED face mask stands out
Unlike rigid traditional models, the ZKIN LED mask features a lightweight, ergonomic design made from medical-grade silicone. This improves both comfort and LED therapy effectiveness by allowing optimal skin-to-mask contact, which is essential for stimulating collagen and elastin production—resulting in smoother, firmer skin with visibly reduced fine lines and wrinkles.
To boost its performance, Dr Ejikeme’s mask features two to four times more high-grade LED chips than standard at-home models. The mask offers a customisable treatment experience with three light colours and four LED wavelengths, easily controlled by remote:
- Red light (630nm & 660nm): Increases elasticity, tightens skin, and smooths fine lines
- Near Infrared light (850nm): Improves hydration, boosts circulation and collagen renewal
- Blue light (460nm): Reduces inflammation, treats acne, clears blemishes, and improves skin oxygenation
Each session is set to a 10-minute therapy time to encourage consistent, easy use with long-term skin benefits.
Expert insight from Dr Ejikeme
“I’m over the moon to introduce ZKIN,” says Dr Ejikeme. “In my clinic, I hear concerns daily—everything from fine lines to blemishes and uneven tone. My answer has consistently been light therapy. With ZKIN, I’ve developed a more effective, comfortable, and easy-to-use solution for at-home skincare. I’m excited to bring this advancement in LED face mask technology to the market.”
How ZKIN benefits darker skin tones
A common myth is that Black or darker skin doesn’t need as much anti-ageing skincare. Dr Ejikeme offers more insight:
“On average fine lines and wrinkles will affect darker/black skin 10 years after it will affect other skin types, so it’s true that fine lines and wrinkles don’t affect black skin in the same way. But what we do see are early changes around the eyes such as dark circles, uneven skin tone, and loss of volume in the mid-face meaning that the nose-to-mouth lines (nasolabial folds) tend to be more prominent. These can be prevented and minimised using treatments and protecting the skin. While melanin does provide some protection against the sun, it doesn’t provide any more than an absolute maximum of factor 13, and what we really need is factor 30 to prevent the signs/changes that the sun can have on the skin.”
Top three skincare tips for darker skin tones include:
- Use an antioxidant serum daily
- Apply SPF 30 or higher, even for melanin-rich skin
- Add treatments that stimulate collagen production, like the ZKIN LED Face Mask
Dr Ejikeme adds, “The ZKIN mask not only stimulates collagen, but the blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, reduces excess oil, and calms inflammation—all of which can lead to hyperpigmentation. For those looking to improve tone, texture, and clarity, this is a powerful at-home solution.”
