CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 review

The most refined, best-fitting all-rounder — you pay for polish and distribution, not extra evidence.

The CurrentBody Skin Series 2 is the mask most people have heard of, and for good reason: it is the most comfortable, best-distributed all-rounder we assessed. What you pay for is polish and support, not a deeper evidence base.

#Strengths and trade-offs

Strengths

  • The most comfortable, best-conforming fit we assessed
  • Excellent UK/EU distribution, support and returns
  • Short 10-minute sessions; three wavelengths

Trade-offs

  • Premium price; often only worthwhile on discount
  • Clinical evidence is largely brand-sponsored
  • No blue light

#What you’re paying for

The Series 2 adds a third wavelength — 1072 nm deep near-infrared — to the well-evidenced 633 nm and 830 nm pairing, and packs in 236 LEDs. The 1072 nm addition has thinner independent literature than the core wavelengths, so treat it as a plausible extra rather than a proven upgrade. The clinical support CurrentBody cites is brand-run, as it is for almost every consumer mask.

Where it clearly leads is experience: the flexible silicone is the most comfortable and best-conforming here, distribution and returns across the UK and EU are excellent, and the whole thing feels considered. A mask you enjoy wearing is a mask you’ll actually use — which matters more than a spec sheet.

#Value in context

At full price it is a premium purchase, and often only makes sense on one of CurrentBody’s frequent discounts to around £359. Certified rivals such as the Omnilux Contour Face deliver the same core wavelengths for less, which is why they edge ahead of the Series 2 on value — see our head-to-head.

Frequently asked questions

Is the CurrentBody Series 2 worth it?

If comfort, easy returns and a polished experience matter to you — and you catch it on discount — yes. If you are buying purely on evidence and value, a certified rival like Omnilux gives you the same core wavelengths for less.

What does the 1072 nm wavelength do?

It is a deeper near-infrared wavelength the brand adds for deeper penetration. Its independent evidence is thinner than the core 633/830 nm pairing, so we treat it as a reasonable extra, not a proven benefit.
