Covers specs, owner feedback, who it suits and common questions." canonical: https://vettedten.com/household/ipl-hair-removal/ulike-air-10/ language: en-GB updated: 2026-11-05 score: 8.6 --- # Ulike Air 10 review > **Our verdict:** The Ulike Air 10 ranks 4th of the 10 ipl hair removal devices we compare, with 8.6 out of 10. No. 4 of 10 in our [ipl hair removal devices ranking](https://vettedten.com/household/ipl-hair-removal/) · Updated November 2026 · [How we rank](https://vettedten.com/how-we-rank/) **8.6 out of 10** The Ulike Air 10 is a corded at-home IPL hair remover with sapphire ice cooling and a sensor that reads your skin tone before each flash. It suits people with dark hair on fair to medium skin who want shorter sessions. Why it's here: - Sapphire ice cooling keeps the window cool, which owners find comfortable - SkinSensor adjusts flash intensity to your skin tone - Wider window than the Air 3 for quicker leg sessions - Money-back guarantee and a two-year warranty Keep in mind: - Corded, so you stay near a socket - Costs noticeably more than the Air 3 for a wider window and faster sessions [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DV5C846F) ## Why the Ulike Air 10 scores 8.6 - How happy owners are: 5th of 10 - How many rated it: 6th of 10 - How new it is: 2nd of 10 ### Why it sits behind the Philips Lumea IPL 7000 Series BRI923/00 The Philips Lumea IPL 7000 Series BRI923/00 (8.7) beats the Ulike Air 10 (8.6) because it leaves owners a little happier. The Ulike Air 10 is the newer design, but not by enough to close the gap. ## About the Ulike Air 10 The Air 10 is Ulike's newer IPL handset. It uses what the brand calls DualLight, which fires two beams per flash, and sapphire ice cooling to keep the skin-contact window cool. Fans cool the device itself. SmartSkin, the skin tone sensor, checks your skin before every flash. Instead of numbered intensity levels, Ulike gives you four treatment modes: Fast for fine, low-density hair, Normal for regular sessions, High for coarse, dense hair, and SHR, which adjusts intensity automatically for coarse hair and sensitive skin. Ulike says a full session takes about 10 minutes. It runs from the mains through a power adapter and cord, so there is no battery. The box holds the device, the adapter with cord, protective eyewear, a storage bag and a safety razor. Ulike's guidance is to trim hair to 1 to 3 mm, clean and dry the skin, and avoid shaving or rubbing the area just before or after a session. ### Key specs - Technology: IPL with DualLight (two beams per flash) - Cooling: Sapphire ice cooling, plus fans for the device - Treatment modes: Fast, Normal, High and SHR - Skin tone sensor: SmartSkin, reads skin tone before each flash - Power: Corded, mains power adapter - Session time: About 10 minutes, per Ulike - In the box: Device, power adapter with cord, protective eyewear, storage bag, safety razor - Warranty: 2 years ## What owners report about the Ulike Air 10 Owner feedback specific to the Air 10 is thin. What there is comes from a handful of UK reviews on Ulike's Trustpilot page, and it is positive. Owners describe slower regrowth after several weeks to a few months of regular use, and say sessions are comfortable. They like the build quality and the storage case. One owner who had moved up from the Air 3 found the Air 10 heavier than expected, though they were happy with it. That same owner said it was still working well, but the review gives no long-term timeframe. The reviews show no pattern of faults or failures for this model, but the evidence is too small to say how it holds up after a year or more. ## Who the Ulike Air 10 suits The Air 10 suits people with dark hair on light to medium skin who are happy to stay near a socket and want an ice-cooled device with a skin tone sensor and four modes. Ulike's own guidance says light hair responds poorly, and a Tom's Guide review, as summarised by Front Desk Review, calls IPL ineffective on light hair and unsuitable for dark skin tones. Ulike's own pages are inconsistent on darker skin, so check its guidance before buying. Skip it if you want to treat hair away from a plug, or if you would rather not pay more for the newer features. The Ulike Air 3 is the cheaper alternative from the same brand, and the Braun Silk-expert Pro5 PL5124 and Philips Lumea IPL 8000 Series BRI944/00 also use skin sensing. ## Questions about the Ulike Air 10 ### Does the Ulike Air 10 remove hair permanently? Ulike does not claim permanent removal. It describes the results as long-lasting, and says you may need maintenance sessions every month or fortnight once regrowth shows. ### Does the Ulike Air 10 really work? It can, on the right hair and skin. Ulike says it works best on dark hair with light to medium skin, and owners report slower regrowth after weeks of regular use. It is less likely to work on light hair. ### Is the Ulike Air 3 or 10 better? The Air 10 has more features: four modes, the SmartSkin tone sensor, two beams per flash and sapphire ice cooling. Ulike says it takes about 10 minutes a session against about 12 for the Air 3. The Air 3 costs less and has three energy levels with an auto-glide mode. ### How do you use the Ulike Air 10? Trim hair to 1 to 3 mm, clean and dry the skin, then pick a mode. Ulike suggests two sessions a week in the first two months for normal or fine hair, or three for dense or coarse hair. It then drops to one or two a week in month three and one a week in month four. Moisturise afterwards and wear sunscreen outdoors. ## All 10 ipl hair removal devices, compared | No. | Product | Score | Badge | | ---: | --- | ---: | --- | | 1 | [Ulike Air 3](https://vettedten.com/household/ipl-hair-removal/ulike-air-3/) | 8.8 | Best Choice | | 2 | [Philips Lumea IPL 8000 Series BRI944/00](https://vettedten.com/household/ipl-hair-removal/philips-lumea-ipl-8000-series-bri944-00/) | 8.7 | | | 3 | [Philips Lumea IPL 7000 Series BRI923/00](https://vettedten.com/household/ipl-hair-removal/philips-lumea-ipl-7000-series-bri923-00/) | 8.7 | | | 4 | **Ulike Air 10** (this review) | 8.6 | | | 5 | [Braun Silk-expert Pro5 PL5124](https://vettedten.com/household/ipl-hair-removal/braun-silk-expert-pro-5-pl5124/) | 8.5 | Best Premium | | 6 | [SmoothSkin Pure Adapt](https://vettedten.com/household/ipl-hair-removal/smoothskin-pure-adapt/) | 8.4 | | | 7 | [Philips Lumea IPL 9900 Series BRI953/02](https://vettedten.com/household/ipl-hair-removal/philips-lumea-ipl-9900-series-bri953-02/) | 8.4 | | | 8 | [FOREO PEACH 2 go](https://vettedten.com/household/ipl-hair-removal/foreo-peach-2-go/) | 8.3 | | | 9 | [Sensica Sensilight Pro](https://vettedten.com/household/ipl-hair-removal/sensica-sensilight-pro/) | 8.2 | | | 10 | [CurrentBody Skin Laser Hair Removal Device](https://vettedten.com/household/ipl-hair-removal/currentbody-skin-laser-hair-removal-device/) | 8.1 | | ## How we score it Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. We haven't read the review sites for this guide yet, so for now it is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 15 models for this guide before settling on these ten. Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
