It is the number one best-selling LED face mask with 1000+ 5-star reviews and is proven to be at least 31% more powerful and effective than any other at-home red and near-infrared LED mask on the market.
Used by Halle Berry, Lily Collins, Suki Waterhouse, and Renée Zellweger, CurrentBody’s LED Light Therapy Face Mask provides four main skincare benefits. It firstly improves fine lines and wrinkles, thanks to two clinically proven wavelengths that stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Secondly, it balances skin tone and soothes the symptoms of sensitive skin by reducing redness, rosacea, and the size of broken capillaries. Next, it evens tone and reduces texture by stimulating cell renewal and boosting circulation and cell oxygenation to improve the appearance of surface inflammation. Its final benefit is that it brightens.
