However, one I’m yet to try is Currentbody, specifically its latest new and improved model, the Currentbody LED Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2 (£399). The buzz is real—Google searches for this mask have soared by over 5000%, and with good reason. With the popularity of the original Currentbody LED Mask with skin experts, celebrities, editors and content creators, there is a lot of interest around the new and improved model.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the new LED mask, so I put it through its paces for two months. Keep scrolling for my honest review and thoughts, how it compares to the original Currenybody LED mask plus all the before-and-after snaps you’ll want to see.

How I tested

With the new and improved LED mask launching at the end of September 2024, I’ve had two full months to put it to the test. I used the device 3 times per week on average (sometimes more, other weeks less), and tested it alongside my usual skincare routine of cleansing, using serums and applying SPF and using a prescription tretinoin treatment at night.
Currentbody Led Mask Series 2: Before And After Pictures
As you can see from my before and after pictures, my skin looks much clearer and calmer at the two month mark. The redness from my rosacea looks significantly calmer, and the sun-induced pigmentation and freckles I had at the end of the summer now look less noticeable.
While I’ve always had some hormonal acne, around my chin and jawline, I’ve noticed fewer breakouts other the past eight weeks. I can’t say that I’ve seen a major difference in my skin texture (I naturally have larger pores, and some longstanding acne scarring) I do think my skin possess more of a glow.
I’m 30 now, so I can’t vouch for for it’s effectiveness on deep lines and firming, I do think the fine lines around my eyes have softened.
The Verdict: Is The New Mask Worth It? My Honest Thoughts
(Image credit: @eleanorvousden for Who What Wear UK)
Having tried a lot of LED masks from the lower end of the price spectrum all the way up to devices over £1000, I think this is a great LED mask and I can now see myself using it permanently.
I’ve noticed my skin is less inflamed, it looks clearer and my breakouts have reduced significantly since using it. Having recently paused using it, I’ve noticed my skin doesn’t have quite the same amount of glow and bounce. While I can’t say I’ve seen a huge improvement in my skin texture, I’m intrigued to see how it might improve with a few more months of use.
The Veritrace card included in the box ensures that it provides the correct amount of red, near-infrared and deep near-infrared to get the best results, and isn’t something that many other LED masks on the market can prove.
Onto the fit. While I haven’t tried the original Currentobdy Series 1 mask, I have tried Beauty Pie’s LED mask which features the same flat shape and flexible material as the original Currentbody mask. I loved the Beauty Pie LED mask for the affordable price, however the fit wasn’t great for me. The Series 2 fits really snugly to the face (whereas there are gaps in places with the flat-shaped LED masks, which means it doesn’t provide the same coverage in places such as the forehead and chin) and is so much more comfortable and secure to wear.
The multiple straps fix all around the head for a secure fit—so much so that I could walk around the house or do yoga while wearing it without it slipping off. My head is on the smaller side and the straps are easily adjustable to get a good fit. The remote also has a useful clip which you can attach to your clothing if you want to roam around during while wearing the mask, without feeling tethered or having to hold the remote.
So, is the Currentbody LED Mask Series 2 really worth it? While the device is a little more expensive than the original, I’d say it’s a great investment if you’re yet to buy an LED mask. If you already have the original (or a similar flat LED mask) and want to upgrade, I’d recommend this device. Not only is the technology better for results but the comfort of the mask actually made me want to use it (unlike some beauty devices which end up gathering dust). Of course, no LED device can replace a good skincare routine, but, it is a great accompaniment if you want to give your skin an extra boost.
