• Cons: Nothing to note – it's worth every penny.

GLAMOUR review: "I was always a fan of the Series 1 CurrentBody mask, and thanks to the years' worth of research that had gone into making it, I had no doubts around its efficacy. I did find, however, that it was slightly uncomfortable to wear – and seemed to fall down mid-treatment.

"While other brands on the market were making their first LED mask iterations, CurrentBody were taking years of feedback and advancements in LED to create a Series 2 mask – which has made all of my complaints redundant and then some.

"Let's start with the basics; the way it fits your face. The mask underwent 21 iterations – each of which were tested on hundreds on face shapes and sizes – to find the perfect fit. The mask is crafted using cutting-edge poured liquid silicone to ensure ultimate coverage of the face, and the new multi-way straps mean it is totally secure and comfortable. No claw-clip needed to hold it in place.

“Series 2 now also covers your chin for a more holistic treatment, something that no other mask on the market does, and it sits the exact distance away from your face and neck to guarantee efficacy. Your neck cream could never.

"Onto the science-y bit. CurrentBody has maintained the two gold standard wavelengths used in the Series 1 Mask – red (633nm) and near-infrared (830nm) – but they've added deep near-infrared (1072nm) proven to be highly effective in cellular renewal in targeted areas. This means that the mask now has 236 LEDs vs 132 LEDs previously – but of course, it's not all about the number of LEDs. Rather, the quality.

"Each of the wavelengths are diffused with patented Pillow Technology which enhances the distribution of LED wavelengths, thus ensuring complete and evenly-distributed skin coverage. Many other masks have pinpoint LED lights that will only target the areas that they're actually being shown on.

"Wonderfully, CurrentBody showed me that they can prove that Series 2 offers a level of precision never seen in at-home LED masks before, through their VERITACE® guarantee. VERITACE® uses the NFC card provided within each box to prove that your mask has passed each stage of testing. You simply hold the card against your phone, and a plethora of stats will be presented to you. Veritace® guarantees the three proven factors, essential when choosing an LED light therapy product for the skin: precise wavelengths, maximum coverage, and optimal dosage. No notes, CurrentBody. You've excelled yourselves yet again."

• Mask type: Flexible mask.
• Body part: Full face.
• Light modes: Red (633nm) and Near-Infrared (830nm).
• Treatment time: 10 minutes.
• Wireless? Yes.
• Tested by: GLAMOUR's Commerce Photo Editor Neamh Randall and GLAMOUR's Senior European Commerce Editor Sophie Cockett.
• Pros: 31% more powerful than other leading at-home LED masks, excellent price point, made from flexible silicone, boosts collagen with red LEDs and near infrared.
• Cons: Found we had to attach the strap to the head's crown with a claw clip to walk around mid-treatment to keep the mask in place.

GLAMOUR review: "GLAMOUR's favourite LED face mask for a long time – approved by Sydney Sweeney – was the CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Face Mask: made by the brand that also has an LED hair growth helmet, LED neck mask, anti-blemish LED mask and an LED facial mapping mask in its roster.

"As you'll have read above, CurrentBody now has a Series 2 mask, which is better than this OG version. However, the original device is still a great choice. It doesn't use deep near-infrared (at 1072nm) (proven to be highly effective in cellular renewal), but it does use only clinically-proven wavelengths of light (the same as professional salon machines) to reach up to 4cm of skin tissue and stimulate the cells from within. According to Dr. Belkin, they use wavelengths of light that are evidence based, and the LED emits a very precise band of light in that wavelength – more precise than other LED devices on the market.

"As with the series 2, you only need 10 minutes' worth of treatment each day for the treatment to be effective, and while the mask is far less comfortable than series 2, it does come with eye protection and a remote control. Plus, of course, the patented Pillow Technology.

“I always wondered if it was worth the hype, but without a doubt it is," our tester Neamh said. “It has an automated timer, which I love, and my skin feels clearer, tighter and more glowy.”

• Mask type: Rigid.
• Body part: Full face.
• Light modes: Three light settings and three vibration modes. You can choose between pre-programmed three minute or nine minute cycles.
• Treatment time: 9-minute pre-programmed treatment once a day for 6 days each week.
• Wireless? Yes.
• Tested by: Fiona Embleton.
• Pros: Harnesses the benefits of vibration therapy at the same time. It comes with eye shields to protect your eyes during use.
• Cons: Rigid, which means it can't be proven that the mask sits the right distance away from the skin to be the upmost effective. The exact wavelengths of light emitted are not disclosed.

GLAMOUR review: "First came the Theragun massage gun and then the Theraface Pro. Now, Therabody, the global pioneer in wellness technology, has released an LED face mask that is clinically proven to reduce signs of aging, firm skin and increase radiance – according to the brand's research.

"Their objective clinical study of 31 participants between the ages of 39 to 64 found that after 12 weeks, TheraFace Mask improved the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, firmed skin and reduced sagging, smoothed texture, increased luminosity and radiance, lightened dark spots, and revealed radiant, healthy skin. The mask boasts 648 Red, Red + Infrared and Blue LED lights.

“The mask's main USP is that it is the only LED face mask in this edit which also harnesses the benefits of vibration therapy at the same time as administering light treatment. There are three different vibration settings which each help to ease facial tension, boost circulation and relax you.”

• Mask type: Flexible.
• Body part: Full face.
• Light modes: Blue (415nm) and red (633nm) LED wavelengths combined, which are said to be 36% more effective than blue LED bulbs alone.
• Treatment time: 10 minutes. 3-5 times a week. “After 6 weeks of consecutive use, give your skin a short break of 1 to 2 weeks before continuing for another 6 weeks.”
• Wireless? No.
• Pros: Proven in CurrentBody studies to clear mild to moderate spots and white heads.
• Cons: Not as comprehensive of a treatment as other masks can offer, which some may argue makes it poorer value for money. If you only suffer with the occasional breakout, you'd probably be better opting for the Anti-Blemish Pen combined with the OG LED CurrentBody face mask.

GLAMOUR review: "CurrentBody released this LED face mask in 2024, just before they dropped the Series 2. It's the first LED face mask on the market that is specifically designed to help with mild acne, using blue light to eliminate bacteria and breakouts, and red light to calm redness and soothe irritation.

"Blue light is emitted at 415nm, and red LED light at 633nm, which is a combination clinically proven to be more effective than blue light alone.

"132 LED lights are spread evenly across the face (almost 50% less than the facial mapping mask, FYI) diffused with the same patented pillow technology as CurrentBody's other two devices so you never miss a spot.

“While this mask isn't quite as comfortable as the series 2, it does have double-straps, which make it more comfortable than series 1.”

• Mask type: Rigid mask.
• Body part: Full face.
• Light modes: 630nm Red, 880nm Near Infrared, 605nm Amber and 415nm Blue.
• Treatment time: 3 minutes.
• Wireless? Yes.
• Tested by: Sarah Y. Wu, Beauty Writer and Contributing Content Director at Milk Makeup, and Denise Primbet.
• Pros: Red and blue light, medical-grade, each treatment just three minutes, looks chic.
• Cons: Rigid rather than silicone which can be uncomfortable on some face shapes, and you don't get full coverage (no treatment on crow's feet).

GLAMOUR review: "This is a medical grade, FDA-approved mask (which been developed by A-list dermatologist Dr Dennis Gross). It boasts 100 red (collagen stimulating) and 62 blue (bacteria-killing) LED lights which can be used either separately or together. So, if you have multiple skin issues that you're looking to target, this could be a good choice.

“As someone who’s prone to redness and irritation, my trusty Dr Dennis Gross LED face mask has been a staple in my skincare routine,” GLAMOUR's Denise Primbet said.

“Out of the three treatment options, I’ve been particularly loving the blue light mode, which has helped calm my rosacea and even out my skin tone. Above all, I enjoyed the cordless design, making it super easy for me to carry on with my day-to-day activities without having to stay next to the nearest plug. I've started noticing the improvement in my skin tone and texture about five weeks in, after having used it religiously once a week on my skincare reset days.

“The main downside is that the futuristic design means there are gaps in the lights around your eyes and crows feet, meaning you won't be administered treatment there.”

• Mask type: Rigid.
• Body part: Full face.
• Light modes: blue (at 415nm), red and infra-red LED (at 630-830 nm).
• Treatment time: Between 4 and 15 minutes.
• Wireless? Wired, but is portable.
• Tested by: Lucy Partington, freelance journalist and beauty expert.
• Pros: Harnesses cold therapy technology to de-puff the skin at the same time as your LED treatment. Comes with eye shields, a remote and carry pouch for travel. You can clip the remote to your clothes and make it portable.
• Cons: The cooling patches around the eyes stop light treatment from being administered there. It sits a little too far away from your face to be the most effective.

GLAMOUR review: "Last October, Shark Beauty – the brains behind the Shark FlexStyle and Shark SmoothStyle – broke into the skincare market with the launch of their Shark CryoGlow LED face mask.

"The mask uses 160 tri-wick blue, red and infra-red LEDs that penetrate the skin for evenness and coverage blue, to reduce visible signs of ageing, reducing the appearance of blemishes, and brighten complexions. But that's not all. The main reason we've included the Shark LED mask in our edit is that it combines LED light therapy with cooling technology, which could be a huge benefit for some users. It's the first mask that offers cold therapy technology to de-puff under eyes at the same time as the rest of your treatment.

"There are four CryoGlow modes that you can choose from: Blemish Repair, Better Ageing, Skin Sustain and Under-Eye Revive. They all differ in length (between four and 15 minutes) and use different combinations of light – as well as different intensities of cold therapy – to deliver differing results.

“I have definitely seen an improvement in my skin in the time I’ve been using this mask," Lucy said. "I still have some breakouts but I think that’s mostly down to my hormones, although I do think they have potentially reduced a little bit. My skin does generally look more clear, it has an impressive glow to it and the overall redness has reduced, too.”

• Mask type: Flexible.
• Body part: Full face.
• Light modes: red at 633nm, deep red at 660nm, near-infrared at 830nm, green at 532nm and yellow at 590nm.
• Treatment time: 10 minutes. Three-to-five times a week maximum, ideally with some break days.
• Wireless? No.
• Pros: Double straps make it more comfortable to wear than the original. It has the ability to deliver specific wavelengths to targeted zones across the face, which treats a range of skin concerns in one treatment. Clinically-proven wavelengths of light.
• Cons: Doesn't cover chin.

GLAMOUR review: "Take the OG CurrentBody LED face mask, then supercharge it, and you're left with the new 4-in-1 Zone Facial Mapping Mask. It wasn't crowned our best overall due to the slightly less-accessible price point, but a very comprehensive and impressive piece of kit either way. Clinically proven to increase skin clarity, luminosity and brightness, this flexible LED mask uses five precise wavelengths within four targeted treatment modes.

"You can choose from the zone facial mapping treatment mode, anti-ageing, brightening or restoring, but the complete zone facial mapping treatment mode is the one that peaked our interest. Different zones target different areas of your face through different wavelengths of light: red, deep red and near-infrared are emitted around the forehead, jowls and around the mouth to plump and press fine lines, green and near-infrared targets the eye area to fade hyperpigmentation, dark circles and eye bags, and yellow focuses on the most spot-prone areas of the face to help reduce facial redness. Think: your cheeks, nose and chin.

“It's also worth mentioning that as with the original, the 360 LED bulbs are diffused with patented pillow technology for complete skin coverage. This basically means that you receive even coverage across the skin's surface, with no gaps left.”

• Mask type: Flexible mask.
• Body part: Full face.
• Light modes: Red 633nm wavelengths and Near-infrared 830nm wavelengths.
• Treatment time: 10 minutes.
• Wireless? Yes.
• Tested by: Georgia Trodd, GLAMOUR's Senior Commerce Writer.
• Pros: Pros: Clinically-prove wavelegnths of light, medical-grade, easy to use, comfortable.
• Cons: Nothing to note other than it's price point. Reviewers were impressed with this face mask.

GLAMOUR review: "Both Alexa Chung and Victoria Beckham swear by this LED face mask, agreeing that your complexion looks brighter, tighter and smoother from the very first 10-minute use. It emits a combination of clinically-proven red 633nm and near-infrared 830nm wavelengths to boost collagen production, elastin production, toxin removal and circulation.

“Since coming off the contraceptive pill just over a year ago my skin has been put through the wringer – think severe hormonal acne, dryness and post-inflammatory pigmentation,” Georgia said. "I've been trying everything from the best retinol serums to even adjusting my diet in hopes of helping it, and while those things have definitely contributed to active spots and irritation, this device has truly worked wonders for my scarring and overall appearance.

“While I may need something a bit more chemical-grade to help with my older and more stubborn acne scars, I have definitely seen a vast improvement overall. My complexion is much less angry, and even the fine lines on my forehead have smoothed out.”

GLAMOUR review: "This LED face mask has an adjustable head strap for comfort, and utilises 432 LED lights which aim to deliver brightening, clarifying and smoothing benefits.

"Red, purple and black lights are said to target visible signs of skin ageing, while the blue light detoxifies the skin. Elsewhere, sensitive skin types will benefit from yellow LEDs which refresh the appearance of lacklustre skin with a radiant glow.

“The price is accessible, it's comfortable to wear and you can mix the coloured lights across the course of the week to reap multiple benefits.”

GLAMOUR review: "Unlike many other LED face masks in this edit, this LED face mask – which allows you to give light therapy a go without spending over £100 – is worn like a pair of glasses, as opposed to attaching to your face with elasticated head straps. This makes it a lot more comfortable for most users, and ensures you can continue with chores, reading or making a cuppa while wearing it.

“I started using the red light in my routine at least four times a week,” Hattie said of her testing period. "Magnitone recommend taking photographs throughout use as the easiest way to track your skin's changes.

“For me it was when I was applying my make-up that I felt the changes the most. My foundation seemed to be gliding over my face more easily than usual. The texture of my skin was more even. I didn't feel particularly ‘glowy’ as I had hoped, although I did get some compliments on how my skin was looking – so I persisted.

“Overall, I do feel like my skin is looking a little brighter, but I think this LED mask needs prolonged use to really reap the benefits. I'm going to keep on using it regularly and monitor my skin over a longer period of time.”

GLAMOUR review: "Using 132 medical-grade red and near-infrared LED lights, the Omnilux LED face mask is clinically proven in the brand's own research to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduce the appearance of pigmentation and redness, and generally promote healthier, younger-looking skin. The brand states that it works on a cellular level.

GLAMOUR review: "Created by one of London's best-loved Oculoplastic Surgeon and Facial Aesthetics Doctors, Dr. Maryam Zamani, it has five different coloured light settings to target almost all skincare woes. From reducing inflammation to boosting lymphatic flow. It's as good as everything else in her skincare range (where all products fuse intelligent, largely natural ingredients).

“The versatility is the biggest pro of this LED face mask. Use red light for rejuvenation and reducing inflammation, blue light to reduce the appearance of acne, green light for calming pigmentation and broken capillaries, and the yellow for soothing and improving lymphatic flow.”

• Body part: Anywhere.
• Light modes: The Lyma Laser uses near-infrared laser light.
• Treatment time: Three minutes per day.
• Wireless? Yes.
• Pros: Portable, enables targeted treatments, offers short-term glow, increases collagen production, works to prevent wrinkles and improves the appearance of sun-damaged skin, scaring, rosacea, pigmentation and sagging. Painless. Safe to use around eyes.
• Cons: High price point.

GLAMOUR review: "Approved by Sofia Richie, the Lyma Laser is the world’s most powerful at-home beauty device, and according to the brand, 100x more powerful (!) than any other LED device on the market. It works by slowing down both intrinsic and extrinsic ageing: intrinsically, directing skin cells to recharge, regenerate and repair rather than die off, and extrinsically, instructing skin cells to produce more proteins to fight free radicals. Less free radicals means more collagen and elastin = better looking skin.

“According to Lyma, “Most lasers work by controlled thermal injury. They inflict thermal damage to tissue to stimulate collagen production, leaving skin feeling sensitive and needing downtime.  The LYMA Laser works completely differently. It uses low level laser therapy, or near infrared laser light, a technology borrowed from the medical industry where it is used to treat issues from rebuilding cartilage to healing tendons. This light is extremely powerful, able to penetrate deep beneath the skin completely safely and effectively. Operating at 500mW power at the 808nm wavelength, the laser can reach not only the deepest layers of the skin, but also the fat and muscle tissue underneath.””
