Is the Ulike Air 10 IPL worth it?
Yes — if IPL has hurt you before.
Its window is cooled to about 18°C, so sessions are close to pain-free, and it adjusts intensity to your skin. At about 410 g it's heavier than Braun's Pro 7, with a power brick on the cable, and the first month asks for three sessions a week.
Good to know
- It's corded, with a heavy power brick halfway down the cable.
- The storage pouch is thin fabric, not a case.
- Avoid the high mode on sensitive skin.
- Cooled window for near pain-free flashes
- Adjusts intensity to your skin
- About 10-minute sessions

How we reached this verdict
Tom's Guide used it for three months, found it pain-free thanks to the cooled window and saw thinner, slower regrowth within three weeks; it gave it an Editor's Choice. Which? tested it too. The caveats are the usual IPL limits on skin and hair colour, and a routine you have to keep up.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
