What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

Is there any concrete proof that LED face masks actually work?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

NASA’s Voyager 1 Is Set to Shatter Space Records – Becoming the First Object to Travel a Light-Day From Earth! - The Daily Galaxy

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
