CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 Review
CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 verdict: a comfortable red and near-infrared mask and a strong default LED pick, if you keep expectations realistic.
A comfortable, well-specified red and near-infrared mask from the category's biggest brand - a strong default pick for anti-ageing LED, provided expectations stay realistic.
- Fit and comfort 4.7
- Wavelength spec 4.5
- Ease of use 4.5
- Coverage 3.9
Strengths

Watch outs
- No blue light option, so it is not aimed at blemish-prone routines (a separate anti-blemish version exists)

Measured output vs claims
18.5 mW/cm2 measured vs 30 mW/cm2 claimedA spectrometer review measured lower irradiance than claimed but still found the 10-minute dose (about 11.2 J/cm2) within the commonly cited therapeutic window, scoring the mask 68.5/100 overall.

The Series 2 is the follow-up to one of the best-known at-home LED masks, and the improvements are mostly about fit and coverage: more bulbs than the original, a moulded flexible silicone shell, and straps that pull the lights close to the skin. The specification of note is the wavelength mix, which pairs the usual red and near-infrared light with a smaller set of a deeper near-infrared wavelength that few consumer masks include. In use it is a comfortable, well-made mask designed for short, hands-free ten-minute sessions.
What it can realistically do is where honesty matters. A red-light mask is a cosmetic device, and the evidence for at-home units is still emerging rather than settled. CurrentBody points to a study on its wavelengths, but for a home user the sensible expectation is a gradual, subtle improvement in the look of fine lines and skin tone with consistent use over weeks, not a dramatic or permanent change. It is a routine you keep up, not a one-off fix.
For someone who wants a well-fitting, wearable mask from the category's biggest brand and will actually use it several times a week, the Series 2 is a strong default choice, and the comfortable fit makes sticking to the routine easier. Anyone expecting overnight results, or unwilling to commit to regular sessions, is likely to be disappointed by any LED mask, this one included.
