Are you ready for a close encounter with fabulous skin?
Since FOREO started shipping UFO devices across the globe, beauty fans have been raving about the results and asking about the availability of the app. Fear not glow-addicts! UFO app just launched on Google Play Store while the iTunes App Store version is sitting pretty waiting for the go-ahead which should be confirmed by April 18th 2018, latest.
But even without the app, UFO facial treatments works without a glitch in the Quick-Start Mode that allows you to start using your device straight away, especially if the app is not yet available in your language
Here’s How UFO Works:
Quick-Start Mode
- Clip your UFO mask into place.
- One short press automatically activates the Make My Day Treatment.
- A second press activates the Call It a Night Treatment depending on the mask you choose.
- Gently glide UFO across clean, dry skin and massage the formula in using circular motions until the device turns off, indicating the end of your treatment.
- Use your fingers to gently pat any remaining essence into your skin, until it is fully absorbed. Follow with your favorite moisturizer.
- Dispose of the mask and rinse UFO under running water. Enjoy the glow!
App-paired Mode
For the future app users, here’s a simple guide for using your UFO with the mobile app
- Download the FOREO app
- Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 3 seconds to pair UFO with our FOREO app. Full white light appears when UFO is paired.
- Follow instructions to clip mask in place and scan the mask barcode. The corresponding treatment will automatically sync to your UFO device.
- Gently glide UFO across clean, dry skin and massage the formula in using circular motions until the device turns off, indicating the end of your treatment.
- Use your fingers to gently pat any remaining essence into your skin, until it is fully absorbed. Follow with your favorite moisturizer.
- Dispose of the mask and rinse UFO under running water. Enjoy the glow!
How do I download the APP in English?
It only downloads in Korean.
Hi there! The English version of the app has been submitted to the App store – we’re just waiting for its approval to go through! Unfortunately, it’s out of our hands but we expect it to be live any day now.
I unable to register to start my ufo mask, pls provide correct APP to download, my location is Singapore.
Hi Angela, The UFO app has been submitted and will show up in your app store once it has been approved – unfortunately, it’s out of our hands right now, but we hope it will be live for everyone this week!
So, may I ask which app should I use to register as a Hong Kong customer?
Hi Jasmine 🙂 Right now, the China FOREO app only supports mainland China mobile numbers… Our app wizards are working to change this for our users in Hong Kong, but in the meantime you can try downloading the global English version!
i downloaded the ufo app from hong kong app store
the ui is simplfied chinese.
i tried to register an account but there is one choice of the country code (+86) only that i cannot enter my mobile no
it is because the country code of hong kong is+852
please update the app or publish another app for hong kong user
Hi Krystal Right now, the China FOREO app only supports mainland China mobile numbers… We are working to publish a Hong Kong version, but in the meantime you can try downloading the global English version!
I just i the app but I’m having trouble linking it to my device. The Bluetooth function seems to be not working.
Hi Vanessa! Sorry to hear you’re having trouble. You’ll need to make sure Bluetooth on your phone is turned on, then open the FOREO app and select ‘My UFO’. Turn on your UFO – a blinking white light means UFO is in pairing mode – and it should automatically connect! You’ll know UFO has been successfully paired when the ring of white LED lights is no longer blinking.
How can I use the LED lights function using the app?
Hi Mable,
We’ve created UFO smart mask treatments with the optimal temperature, pulsation intensity, and LED wavelength for each UFO Activated Mask formula. So, all you have to do is select your preferred treatment in the app, and it will automatically sync to your UFO device!
I got my UFO and plugged it in and it immediately started vibrating. It vibrated for 2 hours and then died. No amount of pressing the button would turn it off or holding the button. When it died I tried to press the button again and nothing happened so I re plugged it in and immediately it started vibrating again. I haven’t been able to use it because of this glitch and I can’t get through to customer service because the Australian number is not a real number. This is very stressful. Something is obviously wrong with my UFO. Can you please provide some assistance and help?
Hi Claire, sorry to hear about this. If you contact customer care with your issue, they’ll be happy to help! https://www.foreo.com/support/contact
Is it only red-light mode available?
Hi Noris, the Call It a Night treatment incorporates red LED light throughout the 90-second routine!
How do i customize the treatment settings to skip the warm cycle for example?
Hi Karena, each UFO smart mask treatment has been carefully designed for optimal results! Simply scan your preferred mask in the app, and enjoy 🙂
I can not download the application. No one support me. I am so sad.
Hi Tina! So sorry to hear you’re having trouble downloading the app. It’s now available to download on the App Store & Google Play. If you’re still having trouble, you can contact FOREO customer care here.
I can’t pair my UFO with my phone. The UFO alternates between flashing and constant light while my phone tells me “please wait” for over 15 minutes. What am I doing wrong?
Hey Evelyne 🙂 A solid white light means your UFO has successfully paired! The flashing light indicates UFO is in pairing mode. If in doubt, try turning off your UFO, and closing the FOREO app. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone, then restart the app and turn UFO on. Hope this helps!
How do I change which light color I want to use, it always defaults to the red light (warm) setting. I would like to know how to use the cryotherapy feature please.
Hi Ina 🙂 The LED light wavelength is dependent on which mask treatment you’re using. For example, the Make My Day treatment incorporates Thermo-Therapy, red LED, green LED & T-Sonic pulsations during the 90 second routine. You can find a full description of each mask treatment routine on our website:
https://www.foreo.com/mask-make-my-day
https://www.foreo.com/mask-call-it-a-night
Cryo-Therapy will be incorporated in several of our soon-to-be-released mask formulas, so keep an eye out!
I get as far as create account and always check your internet connection
the connection works for everything else
Hi Denise,
Be sure to turn on the Bluetooth function on your phone to ensure your device is synced to the app. If you are still having trouble feel free to reach out to customercare-emea@foreo.com!
Im in Canada and I downloaded the foreo app but it doesn’t have an ufo option. I can’t pair my ufo to my phone.
Hi Jennifer!
In order to sync the app with UFO make sure your device is on and in pairing mode and that you have Bluetooth activated on your phone. If you’re still having trouble, feel free to get in touch with our customer service at customercare-usa@foreo.com.
My foreo starts a treatment for about three seconds then stops and the light light starts flashing
Hi Dalton!
When the light is flashing on the device, this means UFO is in pairing mode. To set up your UFO, turn on the Bluetooth function on your phone and then open the FOREO app and follow the instructions to sync your phone with your device. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to our customer support line at customercare-usa@foreo.com.
Hello, I downloaded the app and for the past two days it’s been showing this error (see below), even though I have Internet connection. I even rebooted the router and the phone several times just in case but it is not an Internet problem for sure.
“Oops something went wrong. Check your Internet connection and try again.”
What should I do?
Hi Priscila,
Sorry to hear that you are having trouble setting up your device. Please reach out to customercare-usa@foreo.com so they may resolve this issue and help you enjoy all the benefits of UFO!
The barcodes on my masks continue to be “invalid”. Every one I’ve tried to use is invalid. How can this be? There needs to be a way to enter them in by hand or override the system. The UFO is useless if the barcode doesn’t scan because it doesn’t start. Is there a way to use it manually???
Hi Linda! Have you scanned the box barcode or the sachet barcode? Either should work, but give them both a go. You can start the Make My Day treatment manually by pressing the universal button twice (once to turn on, and once to activate), which will illuminate 1 pink LED. You can start Call It a Night by pressing the button three times, which will illuminate 2 pink LEDs. Hope this helps!
Hello
I just received the ufo mask do I need to charge it first or does it arrive pre charged?
I really do not need the blue light function is this something I can control if so how?
Lastly, If I am using the app do I need to scan the mask box every time so it know what mask I am using?
Thanks
Hi Doris,
When you first receive the device, it should be ready for use, however to be safe we advise plugging it in to charge for 2.5 hours for a full-charge.
The blue LED light function was designed to be paired with our future mask collections – so stay tuned for more information on which masks treatments use blue LED light. For now, the Make My Day and Call It a Night masks do not feature blue LED light.
When using the app, you only need to scan the barcode on the mask the first time you use a new mask. The mask box will automatically sync with your FOREO app to unlock your UFO corresponding treatment routine!
Hi, the Kickstarter campaign comments from Foreo said the UFO would be designed so that it could be used standalone as light treatment or heat/cold treatment. For example, I bought it to use the blue LED for acne now, not to have to wait till some mask what may not be suited to my skin that happens to use blue LED finally makes its way to the shelves! But now the commentry above says all settings are mask specific. Are you saying the Kickstarter campaign commentry straight from the developer isn’t correct? That means the campaign was very misleading! Can you please clarify what the plans for the UFO are?
Hi Grace! So sorry for this confusion. Yes, when the Kickstarter campaign was launched UFO was still in the early stages of development, so a few things have changed along the way. We wanted to offer the most effective at-home facial treatments possible, so we created the optimal combination of UFO technologies for your specific skincare concerns in combination with premium Korean mask formulas. A little birdie told us that there is a mask & UFO treatment routine that you might enjoy coming very, very soon so hang in there! 😉
Hi, I downloaded the app onto my google pixel but it doesn’t give me the option to track my usage or set up any reminders. On my screen, I only see two icons , the day mask and the night mask, but all the other sections are blank. Thank you so much! Love these masks!
Hey Alina 🙂 Currently, there are only 2 UFO Activated Masks available – Make My Day & Call It a Night. The other blank sections you see are for the new masks – launching very soon!
I tried connect my Foreo product to the app. I turned on the Bluetooth and pressed the button until it blinked and it just blinks and then stops, but never connects to the app.
Hi Jennifer! To successfully connect the device with the app, please kindly turn on the Bluetooth, then turn on the app and stay at the home screen of the app, where you can see the “connect” option on the bottom of the screen. Then press and hold the on button of the device for 3 seconds. The device’s led light on the back of the device should then start blinking and the device should get automatically connected to the app.
If this does not help, please try reinstalling your app as the application is still in the beta mode and it’s going thru updates constantly. Also, make sure you are using the newest version of the software on your mobile.
Yesterday I realized the app has been updated (not sure when). There is a control option where I can chose to use hot/cold/off and the different lights of combination of them. But the app seems to unstable or what, after my iPhone screen went into lock/dark screen, it stops functioning and I have problem connecting. My foreo keep blinking so maybe it’s the battery… do share more about this control and what we can use it for etc
Hi Jessica! We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with your device and would like to help you resolve the issue as soon as possible. Please contact us at customercare-usa@foreo.com and we will get back to you with the possible solutions immediately 🙂
Hi, I have no problem to pair my smart phone and my UFO, but the scan function doesn’t work. I mean a have an app with QR reading that works very well on my smart phone(so the problem doesn’t come from the IPhone) but the scan into the UFO application doesn’t work. Can you please advise how to sole this issue ?
Hi Fabienne! We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with your device and would like to help you resolve the issue as soon as possible. Please contact us at customercare-usa@foreo.com and we will get back to you with the possible solutions immediately 🙂
Just received my Luna fofo from fabfitfun. Excited to use and downloaded the app. It’s still in Chinese. I read earlier comments/responses from April stating that you expected an English version any day. It’s the middle of June. Am I missing how to change it to English or is this app still not useful for me?
Hi Kristin! Have you tried downloading “Foreo For You” App? This one is available in English 🙂
Hi, I cannot register my UFO – I see on the app “Register” space, but when I click on it, nothing happens. How can I register my device then?
Hello Katarzyna! If you still experience the same situation, please contact customercare-usa@foreo.com and our Customer Care team would be very happy to help you further 🙂
I can not connect my Ufo device to the app. After going through the process off connecting the full white light appears on the device, but the app still shows “please wait…”.
Hi JP, please try restarting your phone, Bluetooth, and the device (by pressing the power button once). Make sure your phone has a stable internet connection Bluetooth and Location services are on. Once you get to the connect page, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. The device should connect easily!
Have an iPhone 8, downloaded the app. Recently purchased a foreo ufo device. press and hold the button…no flashing, nothing. Any suggestions?

I bought the UFO from Sephora app delivered to Philippines. I just finished downloading the Foreo App but I can’t add the Glow Addict mask I bought with it.

How do I register my new ufo for its warrenty via the app? Thanks
Hello, Pippa! Your UFO is automatically registered to your Foreo account as soon as you connect it to the application.
Hi there,
Suddenly my app cannot connect to my Foreo UFO. I tried to reinstall the app but still the same. On the app keep saying “press and hold the button for 5 seconds”.
Please advise.
Thanks
Hi, Dee! Please contact our Customer Care team and our colleagues will assist you as soon as possible!
I was curious as to whether or not you’re able to add multiple masks onto the app at one time as I see that on the foreo ufo page on the site there is a photo that displays the app and it says, “Mask left 2”. Is this possible?? Thank you!
Hi, Cara! Please contact our Customer Care team and they will do their best to help you as soon as possible.
I do not have a smartphone. If i use the manual start does this limit the variety of lights and pulsations that the device will provide? would the cryo setting work if i start manually? thanks.
Hi, Patrice! Please send all of your inquires regarding our products to our Customer Care team 🙂
Hi, how do I register the warranty for UFO? There was no magnetic card in the package which I received. The deivice is purchased in Singapore.
Hello, Giselle, please contact our Customer Care team and they will provide you all the necessary information about the registration.
I bought different masks and can’t download the settings for them on the app. Please give detailed instruction how to do it. Thank you.
Hi Monika! Please contact our Customer Care Team who will be more than happy to assist you as soon as possible 🙂
How can I add the other masks to my app?
Make My Day and Call It a Night are already pre-programmed in your device. Any other mask treatment must be activated through the app for the first time. Then, the routine can be accessed through the app or by using the universal button. Connect your UFO with the app. In the app, scan the mask barcode and follow the instructions.
Hi,
Our Foreo Ufo stops charging once it gets very low level (the lights blink around the ring few times and then it stops by glowing only the first segment). Is the battery dead?
Thanks for info.
Hi, Mikken! Could you send us a video showing this to customercare@foreo.com?

Hi, Joanna! I’m so sorry to hear about this issue! Would you mind sending us an email to customercare@foreo.com? Please send us a screenshot from the app, and let us know which phone and app version you are using. Thank you!
I have a problem with ufo mini
I can’t connect with app. I turned it on and it didn’t automatically get into app. It keep loading at ‘press and hold power button for 5 sec’ and go nowhere. I closed app and turn off Bluetooth, tried it again and still not working. And I tried it again this time it changed from with light to purple(maybe pink) then it changed to red and started vibrate then changed to green light and vibrate. And end up with no light and soft vibrate and stop.
I’m so sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with our APP. Please try updating the APP and should you have any issues again please write an email to customercare@foreo.com for further assistance.

Hi there?
I can not connect my ufo to this app anymore, it used to work before. Now error says – Missing token. What does it mean and what can I do about it?
Don’t worry, this message means that you simply need to update your APP. 🙂
After 3 weeks of usage heating and cooling functions stopped working. Is there a way to restart it somehow or I need to return it for fixing?
I’m so sorry to hear this Barbara. Please write an email to customercare@foreo.com for further assistance.
Hi, I have the UFO mini. Does it have a cryo mode as well? I think I’ve read it doesn’t have the same features than the regular size UFO?
Kind regards,
You are correct, UFO mini and UFO have different features. Hence, UFO Mini does not have Cryo-Therapy mode.
I’ve been trying to connect my UFO to the app and it says « Missing token. Your need send token to access this endpoint ». I’ve tried downloading the latest version of the app and it is still not working.
Dear Danika, please send an email to customercare@foreo.com in order to receive further assistance.

Please note that this message appears when your app is not updated. Can I kindly ask you if you tried deleting and reinstalling the application? Please make sure to restart your phone. Once the phone has been restarted, please then attempt to enter and use the application.

Hi, I just want to use warm mode to feel more relaxed. I know foreo ufo works better with ita own masks but aometimes I just want to use it with my basic serums as a massage. I thought I can change the warm-cold setting from settings but it seems it doesnt work. Vibration can be changed but temperature dis not work? Is this normal?
Thank you for your comment! Our UFO treatments are specifically designed to bring out the very best skincare benefits of each of our masks. However, you can customise your treatments via the settings in the FOREO For You App. We advise you to always be careful when experimenting, especially with something as delicate and individual as your skin. Be especially careful while using Thermo-therapy. Using it directly on the skin might cause unwanted stress to your skin. Additionally, some skincare products might contain heat-reactive ingredients so make sure you double-check the ingredient list in your products before indulging in Thermo-therapy. And always remember to treat your skin with love and attention, not aggression. We hope this helps!
Hi,
I’m from Portugal,
I received UFO at Christmas and I can’t use it, I connect but when I try to do the treatment it gives me an error.
Can you help?
Dear Adja, We would recommend contacting our Customer Care Team on chat or via FOREO.COM who would be happy to assist you further 🙂
I’ve bought one UFO 2 and it cannot sync with the app. I can connect it but then nothing happens. It doesn’t ask me for a bar code and I’m not able to enter “treatments” and “configurations”. It just shuts down the app. I’m using an Iphone 11 Pro Max.
Hi Vasco, Thank you for your post and sorry to hear that you are having some issues with the App connection to your device. In this case please contact Customer Care on FOREO.COM and one of our agents will assist you further to get the best use of your UFO 2! Hope that helps 🙂
Since the new app was released no treatments work with my UFO. I need to chose the light color, cold or hot and massage intensity. I paid a lot of money for the masks, however the app does not connect with the UFO for the preset treatments. Can you provide a solution ASAP? It has been a week and the UFO was functioning well in the old app.
Dear Kika, Sorry to hear that you are having some issues with your UFO! In this case, we would recommend that you contact Customer Care on FOREO.COM who can assist you further to get the best use out of your device. Hope this helps 🙂
Just got my FOREO UFO 2. What does it mean when it tells me I’m “using traffic” and if I’m sure I want to continue with the mask session.
Dear Amanda, In this case, we would recommend that you uninstall the App and then re-install so the App is fully updated. If the issue persists then please contact our Customer Care Team on foreo.com who can assist you in more detail so you can use your UFO 2 fully. Hope this helps 🙂
Hi, i downloaded the app and connected to my UFO2,however, i cannot scan the treatment Barcode, so, i cannot use the preset. Treamtments with instruction. But i can start using it without the app by clicking the button itself. What’s gone wrong? thx
Dear Carolyn, The new App layout now means you can download the mask treatment instead of scanning the masks itself. You can access this via Treatments section in the App. If you need further assistance then please feel free to contact our FOREO Customer Care Team on FOREO.COM who would be happy to help 🙂
Hi, I just received my ufo 2 and it works fine. I already used it with 2 masks. The only question is, after it goes through the whole process red light, hot, pulsating, green light etc. It says you’re about to finish your treatment, take a few seconds to relax and it turns on the white light. But then it stays there. For how long does the white light should stay on? I’ve been stopping the treatment because it stays with the white light on for a while.
Dear Anaid, Thank you for your post. After treatment, the UFO will remain in sync with the App so in this case, we would recommend turning the device off once you have finished or move on to repeat the treatment if you wish. The device will automatically shut down after a while be in this case its best to turn off to save the battery of the device and your phone with the Bluetooth connection.
Once you have used a mask, to you rinse your face prior to applying moisturizer?
Dear Cathy, Good question! This I would say is down the personal preference. We would recommend leaving the serum on the skin to be fully absorbed and continue to benefit the skin but if you find this too heavy for your skin especially if you are using the day mask and ready to apply makeup then you can, of course, rinse the skin slightly ready to continue with your normal skin routine. Hope this helps 🙂
Any troubleshooting for when getting a ufo 2 from a friend? I can’t pair as it looks like maybe they are still registered with the device?! I get an error message and no info anywhere about unpairing theirs and pairing mine.. I’ve tried deleting the app etc.
Dear Lila, do not worry. The old user (your friend) should be able to remove the registration in their FOREO app. You can also always contact our lovely Customer Service and our agents will be more than happy to help you. Enjoy the amazing pampering sessions with your new UFO™ 2 and take care 🙂
