Manufacturer documentation

WAU user guide for model K9C-1KB, obtained 9 September 2026 from WAU's Russian site: https://wau.ru/upload/iblock/abb/18befskiho61p3ivt2vce1yxsi8ba6jp.pdf . It is more specific than the English product listing, and this profile's figures and cautions are taken from it where the two differ.

Cleanse the face, wear the mask for the recommended 10-15 minutes, then continue your usual skincare routine. Follow the instructions supplied with the device.

PowderedPurple has not tested this mask and does not present it as a treatment for acne, wrinkles, pigmentation or any skin condition. WAU's own user manual (article K9C-1KB) prohibits its use by infants, by people with epilepsy, by people with a thyroid disorder, and by anyone taking thyroid medication, and rules it out on damaged, injured or post-operative skin. Stop at once if you get redness, itching or any other reaction. Do not use it while it is charging, and never submerge it - WAU says it is not waterproof and should only be wiped. Light therapy interacts with medication: check with a doctor or pharmacist first if you take anything that increases sensitivity to light, including some antibiotics, retinoids and diuretics. Do not look directly into the LEDs. The white mode warms the mask to about 38 C, so stop if it feels uncomfortably hot. Ask a healthcare professional first if you are pregnant, have a photosensitivity disorder, or are being treated for a skin condition.

The manufacturer specification describes this product as follows. These are source statements, not PowderedPurple conclusions, and they have not been independently verified.

• WAU markets the mask for a range of cosmetic skin outcomes. PowderedPurple has not verified those outcomes; the linked listing does not provide supporting product-specific clinical evidence.

WAU lists five light spectra, three brightness levels and a defined daily routine. PowderedPurple has not tested comfort, battery performance or results, and the listing does not cite product-specific clinical evidence for its efficacy claims. The recorded Awin link reaches the matching product variant, but the paid link is paused while South African delivery and a product-specific warranty remain unverified.

South African market

verified — checked 2026-09-09. Checked against WAU Global's own published pages on 2026-09-09. DELIVERY: ships to most countries worldwide; South Africa appears in the site's country/region selector. International delivery quoted at 7-14 business days, after 1-2 business days' processing, via UPS, FedEx, DHL or USPS at WAU's discretion. Orders over USD 50 ship free; otherwise the charge is shown only at checkout. CURRENCY: the selector lists 'South Africa (USD $)' - WAU prices South African buyers in US dollars and does not offer rand. TAX AND DUTIES - WAU'S PAGES CONFLICT: the Shipping Policy states 'For the tax: WAU Global Will pay for the tax, we will not charge the tax fee from our customers', while the Terms of Service state 'posted prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling, customs or import charges' and that the customer 'will pay ... all applicable taxes'. Both cannot hold for an import into South Africa. Recorded as unresolved; the profile tells readers to expect to pay South African VAT, customs duty and courier clearance fees, which is the Terms position and the safe assumption. Written confirmation is being sought. RETURNS: 30 days from receipt, unused and undamaged, in original packaging with proof of purchase. The buyer must contact info@wauglobal.com first - 'items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted'. WAU says it will send a return shipping label if the return is accepted, but does not state whether that label is prepaid for international customers; returning a device from South Africa could be costly, so this is recorded as an open ambiguity rather than assumed either way. Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 10 business days of inspection. WARRANTY: WAU's FAQ says 'most products come with a manufacturer's warranty. Check the product description for details.' None of the 23 WAU product descriptions read for this catalogue states a warranty duration or its coverage, so at product level the warranty terms are a checked absence. WAU separately undertakes to replace a defective product free of charge, but does not say who pays international shipping, customs or VAT on a warranty claim.

Safety documentation

verified — checked 2026-09-09. Official WAU user guide (LED MASK 2.0 Phototherapy Face Mask, article K9C-1KB) obtained and read 2026-09-09 from wau.ru; English section used. The article number matches this record's sourceSku. The manual publishes the figures the English listing omits: 117 LEDs; red, blue, green, yellow and white modes at three intensity levels, from red 6.595 mW/cm2 at level 1 to white 39.089 mW/cm2 at level 3; 2450 mAh; maximum continuous use 100 minutes in red/blue/green, 78 in yellow, 60 in white. WAU's own FAQ states the mask warms to 38 plus or minus 1 C in white mode and that it is not waterproof and must not be submerged. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS as written - 'the device is prohibited for use by infants, individuals with epilepsy, those with thyroid disorders, or persons taking thyroid medication'. 'Do not use the mask if you have damaged, injured, or post-operative skin.' Discontinue immediately on discomfort or adverse reaction (redness, itching, allergic response). Do not use while charging or touch the mask, cable or adapter with wet hands. Home use only. Warranty stated as 1 year.
