CurrentBody Skin LED Face Mask Review: An Effective Tool For Skin Renewal
In our testing, we found the CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask Series 2 helped with ... More overall glowiness and evening tone.
At $470, this product is an investment; still, it's far less expensive than costly in-office treatments, and far more convenient because I can wear it while in bed or on the couch. It requires 10 minutes of use three to five times per week. After using it for two weeks (and ongoing testing), I can already see noticeable results. If you're looking to improve skin dullness, decrease redness from conditions like acne or rosacea, or minimize the look of smile lines and crow's feet, the CurrentBody LED face mask is a worthwhile pick.

This FDA-cleared device is wireless and powered by a rechargeable controller, which is slightly smaller than the length of a smartphone. You wear it for pre-programmed 10-minute treatments from three to five times per week. 'LED mask therapy is best suited for skin concerns related to inflammation, healing and aging,' says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rhonda Q. Klein at Modern Dermatology. The CurrentBody mask works to brighten the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, improve texture and tone, decrease redness, and enhance collagen production. It features 236 LED lights and is comprised of red (633nm), near-infrared (830nm) and deep near-infrared (1072nm) wavelength bulbs. Red light targets fine lines and wrinkles, while also increasing collagen production. Near-infrared light is said to energize cells, firming, tightening and brightening the skin. Deep near-infrared light is designed to penetrate even deeper into the skin to help boost collagen production.
Compared to other LED devices on the market (our team evaluated the best LED face masks), the CurrentBody Series 2 LED face mask features a larger number of LED bulbs than many others, and it offers more focused treatment than the first-generation device. The mask is made from 'liquid' silicone, which is soft and comfortable to wear, and it flexes and molds easily to the face when the straps are tightened. This version has a new chin section to provide full face coverage—and to address an often-neglected treatment area. It also has 16 deeply penetrating deep near-infrared lights placed around the mask's eyes and mouth—an area of particular concern for many people—to help enhance results.
The CurrentBody LED Face Mask Series 2 features 263 LED lights in three different wavelengths—red, ... More near-infrared and deep near-infrared.
One thing that makes LED masks a popular beauty device is their efficacy. According to the brand's eight-week clinical study, the CurrentBody LED face mask treatments resulted in improvement of skin elasticity by 57% and a more radiant and youthful appearance. It reduced wrinkles by 30%, specifically causing forehead lines to appear softer. Skin tone brightness and skin firmness both significantly improved during that time, as did outer eye wrinkles and nasolabial folds, which decreased by more than 20%.
Setting up the CurrentBody LED face mask was straightforward. The instructions specified that the device should be charged for 4.5 hours (to reach a full charge) before use, which I did. Once it was ready to use, attaching the hook-and-loop closure straps to the mask took just a couple of minutes. The device has both a behind-the-head closure and a strap on top of the head for a secure fit.
Because mornings are typically rushed in my house, I preferred to use the CurrentBody device at night. I began by washing my face and patting it completely dry with a towel before putting on the mask for the ten-minute session while relaxing in bed. I liked that it's preset to turn off after the ten-minute treatment, so I didn't have to worry about setting a timer. It also has a clip-on controller and is otherwise cordless, which was nice in case I wanted to get up and move around.
The CurrentBody LED Face Mask Series 2 has elastic straps that fit behind and on top of your head to ... More keep the mask securely in place whether you're sitting or moving around.
During testing, the mask felt pleasantly warm on my face, but not hot. The included black eye inserts helped shield my eyes from LED light if I opened them, although I preferred to keep them shut while it was on. The mask had a lightweight feel, and it was easy to adjust the straps in the back so the whole thing wouldn't get jostled. However, the mask only sat flush with the skin on my forehead, around my eyes and on my upper cheeks; there was a slight gap between it and the skin on my lower jaw and chin. I have a more pronounced bridge on my nose, so the mask would become slightly uncomfortable and leave a small mark at the top of my nose by the end of the treatment, which would fade after a few minutes. After use, I wiped the inside of the mask with a slightly damp microfiber cloth, as I found that the mask attracted lint easily on both sides.
I wore the mask eight times over two weeks, and I will continue to do so for several months. Although it has only been a short period, I have noticed an overall brightening of my skin since wearing it. I'm hoping it will help decrease hyperpigmentation, even out my skin tone overall and reduce the small parentheses lines around my mouth.
In the relatively brief period that I've been using the mask, I've noticed overall skin brightening and a slight reduction in redness, meaning my face looks a little more even and filtered without needing to apply makeup. Even with limited use so far, I feel that this is a worthwhile investment, especially since it's easy to use and comfortable to wear. Additionally, editors on our team tested this CurrentBody LED face mask over more than a month. According to one tester, 'my skin tone appears a little more even, brighter, and some sun spots I have on my forehead seem to have faded.' Another says, 'I feel like my skin tone has evened out, and I feel a little more glowy and less like I have winter 'blah' skin.' Because clinical data also supports this device's efficacy, I feel confident that it will continue to produce visible results over time.
I'm a longtime magazine writer and editor who has extensive experience covering lifestyle topics. When it comes to beauty, I've written about and tested the best skincare for women over 50 and shampoos for color-treated hair and the best microcurrent devices, among many other stories. My first experience with red light therapy was when I tested the Therabody Theraface Pro, a versatile facial treatment tool that also has red light therapy. After a brief testing period using the CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Face Mask Series 2, I can already see a difference in my skin tone and brightness. I also reviewed testing data from our panel of testers to incorporate their experiences with the device.
This assignment was assigned and edited by deputy editor Jane Sung, who oversees the beauty and grooming vertical. She's covered beauty and lifestyle topics for over two decades and has produced numerous skincare stories and tested reviews like the best LED face masks roundup, best at-home laser hair removal devices and more. I also interviewed board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rhonda Q. Klein of Modern Dermatology for her expert insights.
The brand recommends using the device for 10 minutes a day from three to five times per week for optimal results. Of course, like with most beauty devices, consistent use is key.
Yes, the CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Face Mask Series 2 is FDA Cleared. This means that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reviewed the device and deemed it safe and effective for use for its intended purpose. FDA approval typically requires additional, more rigorous testing.
'At-home LED devices can truly deliver results—but only if you're willing to commit to consistent, long-term use,' says dermatologist Dr. Rhonda Q. Klein. 'These treatments are proven effective when used properly and regularly.' To maximize your investment, Klein suggests looking for an FDA-cleared device with third-party clinical data supporting its claims. 'Focus on devices that use a variety of wavelengths, as this variety is most effective,' she says. 'The CurrentBody Series 2 includes 236 diodes for coverage all over the face and the LEDs emote the 3 most clinically studied wavelengths for anti-aging; red light (633nm), near-infrared (830nm) and deep near-infrared (1072nm) which delivers the treatment across the deep and more surface level layers of the skin.'
Benefits of using an LED face mask depend on continual, consistent use. 'It's not a set-it-and-forget-it treatment,' says Klein. 'This is a long-term ritual that needs to be used on an ongoing basis to achieve and then maintain results.'

This popular energy drink may accidentally contain alcohol—what parents need to know
A packaging error involving two well-known beverage brands has triggered a safety recall—and raised new concerns for parents who keep Celsius energy drinks in their homes. According to a press release from High Noon, some of its vodka seltzer was accidentally packaged in cans labeled as Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz energy drinks. The mislabeled cans contain alcohol but were distributed under non-alcoholic branding, with no external indication that they include vodka. The error occurred when a shared packaging supplier mistakenly sent empty Celsius cans to High Noon, which then filled them with vodka seltzer. The affected cans were shipped out between July 21–23, 2025, and sold in Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin. 'Consumption of the liquid in these cans will result in unintentional alcohol ingestion,' the press release stated. Related: 5 million backyard pools recalled after fatal child drownings—what parents need to know Why this matters to moms If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have teens or tweens in the house who may be grabbing a Celsius from the fridge, this recall matters. It's possible that a can meant to provide an energy boost might instead contain alcohol—with no visual clues besides the lid color and lot code. Although no injuries or illnesses have been reported so far, the FDA has been notified, and High Noon is urging anyone with the affected cans to avoid drinking them and dispose of them immediately. Unintentional alcohol consumption can have serious implications for developing babies, young children, and adolescents. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 'There is no known safe amount of alcohol use during pregnancy or while trying to get pregnant.' How to check your cans Look carefully at both the lot number and the lid color of any Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz cans in your home. Do not consume if your can has a silver lid and a lot code between: L CCB 02JL25 2:55 to L CCB 02JL25 3:11 Cans with a black lid or different lot codes are not part of the recall and are safe to consume. The affected cans may have come from High Noon Beach Variety Packs, but even individual Celsius cans could be impacted, so it's important to check all relevant products. If you find a can that matches the lot code and silver lid description, dispose of it and contact High Noon Consumer Relations for a refund at: consumerrelations@ Related: Popular nursery chair recalled for overheating hazard—here's what parents need to know What this says about food safety labeling Labeling errors like this are rare but not unheard of. According to the FDA, 'food mislabeling' is one of the most common reasons for product recalls in the U.S. A 2022 study on product recall trends found that undeclared ingredients or wrong product contents are leading causes for consumer safety alerts. For parents juggling busy routines and making quick grocery runs, it's a reminder that we deserve better transparency and safeguards—especially when the consequences could impact kids. What to do next If you've purchased a High Noon Beach Variety Pack or a Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz can recently: Check the lot code and lid color immediately. Do not consume if the product matches the affected range. Email High Noon Consumer Relations at consumerrelations@ for instructions and refund details.

Sam's Club freeze dried fruit recalled over possible Listeria contamination
A recall has been issued for a popular dried fruit snack sold at Sam's Club amid concerns that the packages may be contaminated with Listeria. The snack is Member's Mark Freeze Dried Fruit Variety Pack 15-count. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the recall by Doehler Dry Ingredient Solutions LLC, in a press release Thursday, noting that no illnesses had been reported yet from the possible Listeria monocytogenes exposure. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the contamination was discovered by the company during 'internal testing of their products.' The potentially affected products were distributed between July 1-25 and were sold at Sam's Club stores across the U.S. The FDA is advising people not to consume the snack if they purchased it during that window of time. Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. Exposure among healthy people can lead to symptoms like fevers, nausea and abdominal pain. Health officials warn that listeria can result in miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

New at-home lab test gives postpartum mothers real answers—before the six-week checkup
A postpartum care revolution that finally puts moms first. America's postpartum experience is broken. By the time a mother finally sees her OB at six weeks postpartum, she's already endured some of the hardest weeks of her entire life with little medical oversight. In my case, after my first child was born I was in excruciating urethra pain that I thought was normal, because there was no doctor's visit to catch it. For other moms, postpartum depression plagues their first few weeks of motherhood. Other women experience the crisis of postpartum preeclampsia without medical oversight, trying to determine if their symptoms are normal or intervention-worthy. What if moms were screened far before a medical crisis occurs postpartum? That's the promise behind a new innovation from Trellis Health: the first FDA-cleared, at-home postpartum lab panel designed specifically to catch health issues before they spiral. Created by moms for moms, this tool fills a critical gap in maternal healthcare and provides medically actionable insights. Related: This new at-home program is redefining postpartum care for moms The postpartum data cliff is real—and dangerous Here's the current reality: Women receive rigorous testing throughout pregnancy. But once the baby arrives, all that data collection… disappears. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the first 40 days after giving birth are critical to a mother's long-term health—yet our system treats them like a footnote. Roughly 1 in 5 mothers will experience a postpartum mood disorder. Up to 10% will face thyroid dysfunction. Half of women with gestational diabetes will develop type 2 diabetes within five years. Yet many won't receive a single lab test between delivery and the standard six-week checkup. 'We test hundreds of biomarkers during pregnancy. Then we test nothing,' said Trellis Health co-founder and CEO Dr. Estelle Giraud. 'That's a healthcare failure.' A test designed for the way moms actually live For $239 (HSA/FSA eligible), the Trellis test offers a finger-to-fridge solution: a painless blood collection patch you stick to your upper arm. In ten minutes, it collects a sample to analyze more than 30 biomarkers—from thyroid function and hormone levels to inflammation and cardiovascular risk. Results arrive within 3–4 days and integrate directly into the Trellis app, which serves as a digital 'care in your pocket' with asynchronous midwife support and a full health timeline. 'Six weeks is a perfect moment to catch things like nutrient deficiencies before they spiral into fatigue, mood, and lactation issues,' Giraud said in an interview with The Bump. Related: Why nutrition is the missing piece in postpartum care Why this is a lifeline For moms managing naps, cluster feeds, and toddler tantrums, the idea of booking labs, securing childcare, and making it to a clinic is often laughable. And for those with limited healthcare access—rural families, single moms, uninsured patients—Trellis could be the only lab work they receive during this vulnerable window. 'I had gestational diabetes, and this was easier than my CGMand this is easier than my CGM [Continuous Glucose Monitoring]—the whole process was simple and so straightforward,' said beta tester Amara Bell. Experts urge thoughtful use—but recognize its potential Dr. Christine Greves, an OB-GYN at Orlando Health Women's Institute, told The Bump she's excited by the test's proactive potential, especially since over half of maternal deaths occur after delivery and most are preventable. But she also cautions that hormone levels in postpartum bodies are naturally in flux and that test results should always be interpreted in partnership with a trusted provider. In other words: Data is powerful—but it's still just a starting point. A test—and a message—that puts women in charge This test is a wake-up call for a healthcare system that treats birth like a finish line instead of a starting point. For too long, postpartum recovery has been framed as a private struggle. Moms are told to 'listen to their bodies' but given no tools to actually understand them. Trellis flips that script by putting clinical-grade insight into a mom's own hands. What you can do now: Bring this data to your six-week checkup: Ask about iron, thyroid, and vitamin D levels. Request follow-ups if anything feels off. If you're pregnant or postpartum you can pre-order the test at Financial hardship options are available; email support@ to apply. Advocate for systemic change: Paid leave, universal postpartum check-ins, and real investment in maternal health shouldn't be optional. Because 'just tired' should never be the answer when something deeper is going on. Sources: New At-Home Lab Test Closes Gap In Postpartum Care. 2025. Forbes.
