CurrentBody’s LED masks have long been my favourite. They’re comfortable, simple to use and effective. My previous favourite, the now-discontinued CurrentBody Multi Light Therapy LED mask, offered five treatments that used different light wavelengths to address multiple skin concerns. The company’s latest mask, the new Series 3, has the most detailed customisable treatments I’ve ever seen.

This isn’t the first LED mask I’ve tried that allows its user to select different treatments for different areas of the face. The Lustre Renew Pro Facewear allows you to choose from two treatments across four different zones, with 16 possible combinations. The Series 3 takes this much further, allowing you to choose between six light wavelengths across 125 light points on the mask. If you stick to one wavelength per light point, that’s 6¹²⁵ combinations available. That number is longer than I can reasonably comprehend, so allow me to call its level of customisation endless.
