The CurrentBody LED face mask has been a top choice among GLAMOUR readers for quite a while now. In 2023, over 800 people bought the CurrentBody LED face mask, and this year, more than 553 readers have already purchased it. That’s over £150,000 spent on its skin-transforming abilities before we even reach the halfway point of the year. And why is it so popular? Well, it’s simply fantastic. This LED face mask was named the best LED light therapy device overall in our hero buying guide. It also received approval from industry experts when discussed on BBC Radio 4’s Sliced Bread LED face masks special. However, we’ve only scratched the surface of why it’s so beloved by both us and celebrities. Now, with news that the entire cast of Marvel’s upcoming creation, Madame Web, including Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney, prepped their skin with the CurrentBody LED face mask before filming, it’s the perfect time to dive deeper.
I personally decided to try out the mask after hearing about Kim Kardashian raving about it during her 2023 Christmas holidays. With my job allowing me to experiment with various skincare products, I stuck to my trusted routine of Garnier Micellar Water, Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel, Murad Cellular Hydration Serum, Murad Cellular Hydration Repair Cream, and Biore UV Aqua Water Essence Sunscreen SPF50, and added the CurrentBody LED face mask as a new step. Here’s what I discovered.

Product overview:
We’ve discussed the benefits of at-home light therapy extensively before. If you’re wondering what light therapy is all about, you’ll find plenty of information available. In essence, light therapy involves exposing your skin to colored LED light – whether it’s red, yellow, or blue – each color triggering a different response in your skin when absorbed.
