What they say

CurrentBody Eye Mask

  • Reddit has no owner report on the Eye Mask itself, only buyers asking about it in r/redlighttherapy.
  • An r/30PlusSkinCare thread asking whether CurrentBody's face mask is worth it (44 comments) leans positive where expectations stay modest, while a second r/30PlusSkinCare thread, titled "Don't waste your money with them", describes a broken promotional gift, a missing item and slow customer service.

Solawave Eye Recovery Pro

  • Every Reddit owner of Solawave's eye mask describes the pre-2026 model, and none has yet posted on the version relisted in September 2026.
  • A November 2024 r/45PlusSkincare owner who bought it on sale says she loves it, a March 2025 r/redlighttherapy owner two weeks in thinks it may be helping her under-eye bags, and a January 2026 r/Ulta commenter got better results from it than from Solawave's wand.
  • Wider Solawave threads in r/30PlusSkinCare and r/45PlusSkincare are about the wand and face mask, and they are split between owners who report smoother skin and owners who saw no change and returned the device.

What they say

CurrentBody Eye Mask

  • T3 (February 2024) recommends it but calls the light extremely bright and the goggles a must.
  • Broadsheet (January 2023, gifted unit) saw a subtle change after a month, Beautymone saw no change in dark circles after nearly two months, and WeAreBodyBeautiful (November 2022) notes the device itself has not been through its own clinical trial.

Solawave Eye Recovery Pro

  • All the written coverage is of the pre-2026 Eye Recovery Pro, and it is favourable but measures nothing.
  • Women's Health (May 2025), in a roundup that earns commission, calls it the most comfortable eye mask to wear. mindbodygreen's commerce editor (March 2025), whose links earn commission, found it painless and easy to fit into a routine.
  • No outlet has yet reviewed the version relisted in September 2026.

What they say

CurrentBody Eye Mask

  • Pharmacy&Makeup (April 2025, 6,974 views), on a unit she asked for and received free, with affiliate links, used it for two months and found wrinkles a little softer, calling it subtle and not a quick fix.
  • Lady Writes (September 2022, sponsored by CurrentBody) and CINDDIE (August 2022, discount codes, a two-week first impression) are positive.

Solawave Eye Recovery Pro

  • Solawave's own channel posts nearly all of the eye-mask videos.
  • The one independent video is Karissa Hagemeister's few-weeks clip on the earlier model (November 2024, 1,743 views), which is tagged #ad and links to Amazon as an associate.
  • It is positive and reports no problems, and no video covers the September 2026 version.

The CurrentBody Eye Mask reading covers the whole brand; the Solawave Eye Recovery Pro reading covers its product line.

What they say

CurrentBody Eye Mask

  • No US retailer carries its own reviews of the Eye Mask: Sam's Club's listing shows only reviews labelled as from CurrentBody Skin, the brand's own file.
  • Costco's CurrentBody Face & Neck Kit, the earlier Series 1 masks, holds 3.7 from 55 reviews, 25 of them five-star and 8 one-star, and its critics name discomfort around the eyes and nose bridge, loose straps and brightness.

Solawave Eye Recovery Pro

  • Ulta's Eye Recovery Pro listing shows 4.5 from 128, but 69 of those reviews are syndicated from solawave.co.
  • The 59 written on Ulta average 4.46, with 37 five-star against 3 one-star, and both 2026 one-star reviews describe masks that stopped holding a charge within weeks.
  • Walmart's 4.5 from 89 is mostly entries marked 'Review from Solawave' and collected as part of a promotion, and Nordstrom's 3.7 comes from only 6 reviews.
