The CurrentBody Multi Light Therapy LED mask, priced at £499.99, offers five light modes targeting fine lines, blemishes, pigmentation, redness, and dullness. After two months of testing, it outperforms previous models in versatility and results, though its high cost may deter some buyers.
Five Modes for Diverse Skin Concerns
The mask features anti-ageing, clearing, restoring, brightening, and complete modes. Anti-ageing uses red, near-infrared (NIR), and deep NIR light. Clearing combines blue and red light for blemishes. Restoring uses yellow and NIR to calm redness. Brightening uses green and NIR for pigmentation. Complete mode uses all frequencies except blue, employing facial mapping to target specific areas.
According to tester Sarah Matthews, the clearing mode was particularly effective: “Consistent use minimised breakouts and helped them clear up faster. This is the only mask that has managed to fully flatten the bumps on my forehead.”
Superior Coverage and Comfort
The mask contains 566 LEDs at 110 points, including 16 deep NIR bulbs placed around the mouth and under eyes. The close-fitting design with adjustable straps and a chin strap ensures good light absorption. The controller is simple, with a clear screen and one-button operation, and the battery lasts over a week of treatments.
However, the nose flap can leave a temporary red mark, and the straps are fiddly to adjust. The chin strap prevents flat packing, making travel difficult without a hard case.
Performance and Value
Each mask is individually tested for light frequency accuracy and power output, verified via an NFC Veritace card. The anti-ageing mode performed as well as the standalone Series 2 mask, while the restoring and brightening modes unexpectedly helped with redness and pigmentation, likely due to simultaneous NIR light.
At £499.99, the mask is a significant investment. For comparison, the budget Silk'n 100 offers red, blue, yellow, and purple light for about £100 but lacks NIR and has fewer bulbs. The Shark CryoGlow at £299.99 treats blemishes and anti-ageing but is less comfortable and lacks deep NIR.
Matthews concludes: “If you want to invest in the best LED mask I’ve ever tested, absolutely. It’s worth spending an extra £100 over the Series 2 to adapt to your skin’s changing needs.” However, she notes that cheaper options exist for light-touch anti-ageing and blemishes.
Warranty and Returns
CurrentBody offers a 14-day return policy for full refund if sensitivity occurs, and a two-year warranty covering manufacturing faults.
