After testing LED face masks for years, the CurrentBody Series 2 red-light mask has long been my go-to for anti-ageing. Comfortable, with excellent coverage and powerful near-infrared treatments, it had one flaw: it only tackles one concern. Now, CurrentBody has launched the Multi Light Therapy mask with five modes, promising versatility for various skin issues—from hormonal acne to pigmentation.
I tested it for two months, trying each mode for four nights before settling on my favorite. The mask features 566 LEDs (including red, near-infrared, blue, yellow, green, and deep near-infrared) arranged across 110 points, with strategic placement for deep wrinkle zones. Its five 10-minute presets include anti-ageing, clearing (blue + red), restoring (yellow + near-infrared), brightening (green + near-infrared), and complete (all except blue, using facial mapping technology).
While the facial mapping claim sounds pseudoscientific, it simply targets different wavelengths to areas with specific needs. The mask is comfortable, stays in place, and requires no app—just a simple controller. However, at £499.99, it's a steep investment. For context, budget options like the Silk'n 100 offer multiple colors for around £100 but lack near-infrared and have fewer bulbs.
During testing, I saw notable improvements in acne and overall skin tone, especially using the clearing and complete modes. The deep near-infrared bulbs are a standout, though they don't cover the forehead. If you have specific concerns beyond anti-ageing and can afford the price, this mask delivers. Otherwise, the Series 2 remains a solid, cheaper alternative.
Pros: Versatile modes, comfortable fit, powerful deep near-infrared, no app needed. Cons: Very expensive, deep near-infrared skips forehead, facial mapping may be gimmicky.
