CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 Review: My Honest Results After a Year

I have been using the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 for over a year. This is my honest, unsponsored review: what it actually did for my skin, what it did not do, whether it is worth the price, and why I kept failing to use it properly.

I bought it this summer at 47, after debating between a face mask and a full red light panel. My goals were simple: improve texture, lighten dark spots, and soften fine lines. Here is what changed.

What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy uses low-level red wavelengths to improve skin texture, boost collagen, and reduce fine lines, scars, redness, and even acne.

I bought the mask mainly for:

• wrinkles
• texture
• dark spots

LED masks are popular because they’re effortless. You literally lie down for 10 minutes while warm, soft light hits your skin. It’s calming and almost meditative.

I haven’t experienced any side effects, just mild warmth and a relaxing sensation.

Why I chose the Currentbody mask

I only considered two masks: Omnilux and CurrentBody.

Both have great reviews, and users on Reddit seem happy with either one. What made me choose CurrentBody were two things:

• Cost — I live in Europe, so buying CurrentBody was much cheaper than ordering Omnilux from the US and paying extra taxes and shipping.
• Newer, stronger version — CurrentBody’s Version 2 mask has improved power compared to the original.

So it came down to practicality, price, and availability.

How I use the Currentbody Face Mask

My routine is simple:

I use the mask every other evening for 10 minutes.
I wash my face, let it dry, put on the mask, lie down, close my eyes, and let it do its work.

The mask is flexible, but a bit big for my face. I sometimes press the lower part to make sure the light reaches my jawline.

Other than that, using it is easy and relaxing. It shuts off automatically once the session is done.

My results after using the mask for 3 months

At first, I did not notice any changes, other than the fact that the serums and creams I use sank much better. I had to reduce the hydrating products I use, because their effect was somehow amplified.

After a month, I noticed that the dark spot I have from acne is significantly lighter than it was before LED. Now it did not disappear, but it is a lot lighter than it is normally.

The second change I noticed is that my face is plumper. Again, this could be the result of a cream or face mask I am using, but I am more inclined to believe that this is the result of red light therapy.

After 6 months

Six months in, the most important thing I can report is what did not happen: the mask did not worsen my melasma. My skin is sensitive and prone to hyperpigmentation, and that was the risk I worried about most before buying. If anything, some of my dark spots looked better.

I also had to be honest about how I was actually using it. The lights are very bright. With the mask on I cannot read, watch anything, or do much at all. I see people online exercising or journaling while wearing theirs. I cannot. I lie down and close my eyes, partly because of the light and partly because the mask feels heavy on my nose.

The benefits at six months were real but subtle: better skin tone, a plumper look, lighter dark spots. Nothing anyone else would notice.

After 12 months: the honest version

I have to be honest. I failed to use the mask regularly.

I would use it for a couple of days and then fall back into my old routine. That happened again and again over the year, and it is the main reason I cannot tell you this mask transformed my skin.

Then last month, while I was in Greece, I used it consistently for the first time. And I did see a difference.

That taught me the one practical thing I wish someone had told me at the start: use it whenever you can, in the morning or the afternoon. Do not save it for bedtime. Waiting until the end of the day is exactly how it gets skipped. I was always too tired, and it simply did not happen.

So, do I regret buying it? No. But the difference it makes to your skin is really not that noticeable. It improves skin quality slightly, and it is genuinely enjoyable to use.

If you are young, do not buy it. It is not necessary and you will not notice any changes. For women over 40 it can be a nice buy, but it is not something that will make or break your skin.

My sister does not use one

This is the most useful comparison I can offer, and I got it by accident.

My sister does not use an LED mask. She is on a good, consistent Korean skincare routine and nothing else. I paid €375 for mine.

I cannot see a significant difference between her skin and mine.

I think her consistent routine is doing more for her skin than my mask is doing for mine. So if you are choosing between the two, and your skincare is not yet consistent, start there.

What I Don’t Like About the CurrentBody Mask

After using the mask for 3 months, I noticed a couple of things I don’t like:

• The fit is better for people with a larger face
• The lights are so bright that you cannot read or watch anything while wearing it. You can only lie down.
• The mask is a bit too heavy for me and hurts my nose (leaves a red mark)
• The battery is not separable from the mask, so you cannot replace it if it breaks down.
• There is no indication of the battery level, so it runs out without you knowing you need to recharge it.

Again, these bad sides do not in any way prevent me from using the mask. But you might want to know about them before you decide to purchase the mask.

Is the CurrentBody Mask Worth It? My Honest Opinion

If you have the money and want to treat yourself, then the Currentbody mask is a nice option.

Is it absolutely necessary in your skincare regimen? No.

While it is very pleasant and nice to use, I would not consider it an absolute must in my routine.

It gives nice benefits to my skin, but it is not groundbreaking. And you do not need to stretch yourself financially in order to have it.

If you are young, I really don’t think you need this at all, and I doubt you will notice much change in your skin. But if you are like me, in your 40s, then this can be a nice addition to your routine.

For me, I see the biggest difference in the texture of my skin and the fading of scars and dark spots.

I also feel like the serums sink in better when I use this mask, my face seems better hydrated and more plump.

Final thoughts

I’m happy with this purchase and enjoy using it in my evening routine. That said, I wouldn’t call this purchase essential. It’s not a necessity, just a nice extra if you enjoy a more indulgent skincare routine.
