CurrentBody LED Mask Series 2 vs Series 3 | What's New & Is It Worth Upgrading?

currentbody series 2 v 3 comparison

Welcome back to the blog! Today's post is one I have been so excited to write since receiving this in September because we're talking about one of my favourite skincare devices ever! If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll already know how much I love LED light therapy and how impressed I've been with my CurrentBody Series 2 mask over the last two years. Out of nowhere, CurrentBody launched the LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 3 $799.99 CAD | $569.99 USD | £499.99* this autumn and I was lucky enough to be sent one to try. As someone who purchased the Series 2 with my own money back in November 2024 and was still using it regularly, I was curious to see whether the upgrades would actually be worth it. Don't forget, you can use my code DANIELLEBB for 20% off sitewide, boosted from 10% for Black Friday! 


Before we get into all the new features, let's talk about what's stayed the same. One of the biggest reasons I was so excited about this launch is that CurrentBody hasn't changed the what I love about the Series 2, but they have built on them:

  • Same flexible silicone mask design with under-chin and jawline coverage

  • Same 10-minute treatment time

  • Same clinically proven anti-ageing wavelengths

  • Same Veritace quality guarantee

Now onto the upgrades and there are many! I am honestly blown away with the enhancements they have made! At first glance, the most obvious upgrade is the touchscreen control, which feels more premium and makes it easy to choose your treatment. The mask also now features a huge 750 LEDs compared to 236 in the Series 2, six wavelengths instead of three and four treatment presets rather than the single anti-ageing mode. Probably the most interesting addition, however, is MyDose Technology. Through the new CurrentBody app, you can customise treatments based on your own concerns and map different wavelengths to different areas of the face.

One of the most exciting changes is the addition of three new wavelengths. While the Series 2 focused purely on anti-ageing, the Series 3 now allows you to target a wider range of skin concerns including blemishes, pigmentation and redness! 

The Series 2 had the following three wavelengths:

Red (633nm) - supports collagen production and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Near Infrared (830nm) - helps improve firmness.

Deep Near Infrared (1072nm) - supports skin renewal.

The Series 3 adds these three in addition to the above:

Blue (415nm) - targets blemishes and excess oil.

Green (532nm) - helps improve the appearance of pigmentation.

Yellow (590nm) - helps calm redness.


The four preprogrammed presets include the OG Advanced Anti-Ageing treatment to help with firmness, collagen support and reducing visible signs of ageing, Advanced Clearing which is designed for anyone struggling with breakouts, congestion or excess oil. Complexion Corrector targets pigmentation and redness and Brighten & Balance focuses on achieving a more even-looking, radiant complexion.


As well as these four presets, you can now fully customise your LED light therapy treatments with the CurrentBody MyDose app where you can map your preferred wavelength to your mask. You can select the wavelengths and placement to best match your skin concerns and goals while MyDose™ automatically calculates the optimal amount of light energy for every session. You can then save and share your personalised treatments with friends and family if they also have the mask!

Over the past two years, using my Series 2 mask in the evening has become such a ritual for me and the Series 3 has fit seamlessly into my skincare routine! I usually cleanse, use my ZIIP Halo, cleanse again then get into bed with the mask and do the New York Times puzzles lol. It is recommended to use the mask 3-5 times per week and I am definitely on the higher end of that and honestly, the worst thing about the new mask is having to stop after the recommended 10 minutes as I want to use the different treatments after each other! It's become such an important part of my self-care routine as well as skincare routine, I genuinely miss it when I skip a night. 


Having experienced such great results with my Series 2, I went into testing the Series 3 with pretty high expectations and thankfully it hasn't disappointed. While I've only been using the new mask for just under two months, I'm already seeing the same benefits I've come to expect from consistent LED use. My skin looks and feels smoother and firmer and the appearance of fine lines is reduced. My complexion is calmer, active blemishes seem to resolve more quickly and any post-breakout pigmentation doesn't linger for as long. More than anything, my skin just looks healthier overall when LED light therapy is a regular part of my routine! Typically I use the Advanced Anti-Ageing preset around 3 times per week then rotate through the other presets or MyDose depending on my skin concerns which lately, aside from ageing, have been pigmentation and blemishes!

The mask is also easy to travel with, it's pliable and comes with a protective bag! It fits my face well and the multiway strap is comfortable, it has optional eye inserts which I use, and I don’t have any sensitivity to the red light with my eyes. To clean you just need to wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry. The charge is excellent and lasts just over 2 weeks and a full charge takes a couple of hours! I love the screen as now you can see the battery indicator so you can easily tell when it's close to needing to be charged! The device is 100% painless and the LEDs don’t generate any heat.


currentbody series 3 review

I think it's safe to say that I am completely obsessed with the CurrentBody LED Face Mask Series 3*. The Series 2 was already one of the best beauty purchases I've ever made, but CurrentBody has managed to improve on that! If you already own and love the Series 2, I don't think upgrading is absolutely essential as it remains an excellent device. However, if you are looking for more targeted treatments for concerns such as blemishes, pigmentation and redness, the additional wavelengths, treatment presets and MyDose functionality make the Series 3 a really exciting option.

If you're completely new to LED light therapy and your budget allows, this is absolutely the version I would choose. You're getting everything that made the Series 2 such a cult favourite, but with the flexibility to target a much wider range of skin concerns! I always look forward to using mine and it has become just as permanent a part of my routine as the Series 2 was. I'll be passing my original Series 2 onto my aunt, who is Mother of the Bride next year and was already planning to buy one during Black Friday!


If you're tempted to try the CurrentBody LED Face Mask Series 3, don't forget you can use my code DANIELLEBB for 10% off year-round. Historically, this has increased to 20% off during Black Friday (the only time the CurrentBody discount doubles!) making it one of the best times of the year to buy if you've been considering investing in LED light therapy! Edit: The code is 20% off right now!!

Skincare Review | Six Serums For Brighter, Firmer, Healthier Skin

This week, I thought it was about time I shared an updated roundup of some of the serums currently in my skincare collection! Some are long-time staples that I have repurchased for years, while others are newer discoveries that have quickly earned a permanent spot in my routine. These are all products I would recommend if you are looking for brighter, firmer, clearer or healthier-looking skin. 


serums review

Starting off with the U Beauty RESURFACING Compound* and this is a multitasking treatment that is a one stop shop for brightening, smoothing, and resurfacing skin. U Beauty’s ethos is to have fewer, better products to transform your skin and save you time. Every product is powered by multi-patent-pending SIREN Capsule Technology™, a precision delivery system that adapts to your skin concerns as they evolve through time. This serum takes the place of several products by combining antioxidants, stabilized vitamins C and E, a gentle retinol ester, and a mix of exfoliating acids to help even out texture, refine pores, and soften fine lines. I’ve found it leaves my skin looking smoother, brighter, more refined and clearer after use, and, especially when I use it at night, I wake up with glowing skin. It delivers overnight results and is a true multitasker, and I haven't experienced any sensitivity! I also love the scent of it! It is definitely an investment but worth it and I do have a discount code for anyone making their first order - DANIELLEBEAUTYBLOG20 for 20% off! Read my full U Beauty review here! 


Onto a cult classic next and now I’ve used up a few bottles of the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair, I am definitely part of the cult! This restorative serum contains peptides, hyaluronic acid and bifida ferment lysate to help hydrate, protect and support the skin barrier. It’s called night repair but can be used AM or PM though I do tend to use it in the evening and I wake up with hydrated, plump and firm skin. It feels calming and I love that it contains antioxidants to protect my skin too! Read my full review here!  


Another serum that is no stranger to my skincare collection or blog is the NIOD Copper Amino Isolate Serum 3 1:1 (CAIS3). This one has been a staple in my skincare rotation since 2016! It’s a copper peptide serum in a blue watery liquid formula with a slight vinegar scent (don’t worry it dissipates very quickly!). This sinks in quickly and can be used in the morning and evening. It’s a pro-repair and pro-collagen serum that maintains healthy looking skin by targeting signs of skin ageing including textural damage, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores and a lack of radiance. My skin really does look and feel much healthier when I use this consistently. My skin looks clearer, more even and firmer - it’s a must have! I tend to keep my routine simple when using this serum as it does all the heavy lifting for me! After the first few bottles of this I went through, I noticed its effects more when I stopped using it and I always have it in my stash now! See my full NIOD review here though noting I just found out they are not doing their yearly Black Friday sale throughout the month of November now - it’s been moved to April! 


The SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic* is my current Vitamin C serum and it contains 15% pure Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), 1% Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol to replenish skin lipids), and 0.5% Ferulic Acid to enhance protection against environmental damage caused by free radicals that can contribute to visible signs of atmospheric ageing. I find Vitamin C serums tricky and this is a beautiful formulation that absorbs quickly and works for all skin types including sensitive. It targets signs of ageing and photodamage, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and the loss of firmness, while brightening skin’s complexion. This is my second bottle and I've found it particularly effective at softening fine lines and helping post-breakout marks fade more quickly. My overall skin tone is much brighter and even with use and I love using it in the morning with my SPF as my skin feels more protected! Read my full SkinCeuticals review here!


The Anua Azelaic Acid 10 + Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum* has become my go to for when my skin is acting up with blemishes! It’s watery in texture and features 10% azelaic acid, along with hyaluronic acid while the green colour comes from Anua’s Gentle Calming Complex of natural ingredients including green tea leaf water, aloe and cica. It’s soothing and calming, reduces redness and hydrates skin. Whenever my skin is having a moment, this is the serum I reach for as my spots and residual marks seem to clear up so much quicker. Don’t forget you can get up to 5% more off at YesStyle with my discount code DANIELLESBB5! See my full review here!


Last but not least is the L'Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-in-Serum*. This radiance-boosting serum is designed to revive dull, tired-looking skin with an infusion of immortelle essential oil, which is rich in antioxidants to help combat visible signs of ageing. Despite the name, the texture is surprisingly lightweight and soothing, making it a lovely option for sensitive skin. I tend to use this one in the evenings and it absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling comfortable, nourished and hydrated overnight. By morning, my skin always looks fresher and more rested. I absolutely love the scent of this, it is so comforting and nostalgic to me despite not having had it before and, aesthetically, the bottle filled with golden bubbles looks so good on my dressing table!  


I'd happily recommend any of these serums depending on your skin concerns and budget. Whether my skin is looking a little dull, breaking out, feeling dehydrated or just needs a bit of extra support, there's a serum here that I know I can rely on. If you've tried any of these I'd love to know what you think, and if there's a serum you swear by that I need to add to my wishlist, let me know!
