The CurrentBody Face Mask Series 3 reading covers its product line.
What they say
Shark CryoGlow
- Owners in r/redlighttherapy, r/Sephora, r/Ulta and r/Costco mostly like the CryoGlow's under-eye cooling and short sessions, and complain about how it sits on the face.
- Across those threads 11 owners report red marks, indents, bruising or stinging under the eyes where the cooling pads rest, 10 call it heavy or say it drags on the under-eyes, and several point out that the pads leave the under-eyes without light; one owner returned hers to Costco Canada over the fit and the blocked eye area.
- In a November 2025 r/Sephora thread (78 comments), three owners who had used the Omnilux prefer the Shark's fit, a few find the fan loud, and the poster flagged one reply that had been posted by three different accounts, since removed.
- Several owners report fewer or shorter-lived breakouts, while one returned it to Costco after six weeks of daily use seeing no change, and another was not wowed after two months of daily use.
- Single owners report error codes D2 and A3 (Shark agreed to replace the second unit), cooling that weakened after a month, a timer that changed from 6:00 to 6:22, and short battery life when the cooling runs.
- In a November 2024 r/redlighttherapy thread (175 comments), a commenter who says she tested it for eight weeks in Shark's market research liked its two-strap fit over the Omnilux's.
CurrentBody Face Mask Series 3
- No owner of the Series 3 has posted on Reddit yet: two r/redlighttherapy threads from September 2026 are buyers weighing it against Series 2, where commenters call the jump from 236 to 750 LEDs marketing until irradiance figures appear, and the Series 3 threads in r/CurrentBody are run by the company.
- On Series 2, which Series 3 closely resembles, r/SkincareAddictionLux and r/redlighttherapy owners from January 2025 to May 2026 report light painfully bright around the eyes, units arriving used or dirty and opened masks refused for return, while a five-week results post drew 301 upvotes.
Both readings are about these exact models.
What they say
Shark CryoGlow
- Magazine reviewers rate it highly: WIRED gave it 8 out of 10 in May 2025 after eight weeks, faulting its weight and bulk and noting that the cooling pads leave the under-eyes without light, and TechRadar gave it 4.5 out of 5 in April 2025 after two months, faulting its battery life.
- WIRED and Harper's Bazaar both found the fans loud when the under-eye cooling runs.
- Business Insider's reviewer (June 2026, on a site that says it may receive products free) found it comfortable over eight weeks but saw no visible long-term change from the cooling pads, and faults the bulky battery pack and cord.
- None of these reviews measured the light output.
CurrentBody Face Mask Series 3
- The written reviews are launch-window first impressions, almost all on units CurrentBody supplied.
- Glamour UK (September 2026) gave it 5 out of 5 after a month of early testing, and Women's Health, which earns commission on sales, called it worth $569 after one week.
- Helen Avery, writing on a free unit with a discount code, found it nearly identical to Series 2 to wear and withheld a verdict.
YouTube
tiedBoth readings are about these exact models.
What they say
Shark CryoGlow
- The most-watched video is a short by Abbey Yung (April 2025, 364,903 views), who paid $350 and says she regrets it: the mask is heavy enough to leave dents and pull down the skin under her eyes after six minutes, she found it hard to breathe in, the cooling plates block light from the under-eyes, and the fan is loud while they run.
- Jen Luv, who bought her own and links to it with affiliate links, found it comfortable over 70 treatments (May 2025, 98,599 views), liked keeping her eyes open through six-minute sessions, and saw at most a slight change in her forehead lines, calling it not a must-have.
- Valentina (March 2025, about 20,800 views), who bought hers and says the video is not sponsored, would buy it again after two months but uses it lying face-down because of the weight.
- MidlifeMum (August 2025, 10,926 views), given hers as a gift and linking to Amazon with an affiliate link, says it drags on her under-eyes with the cooling on and reports clearer skin after eight months of irregular use.
CurrentBody Face Mask Series 3
- Six Series 3 videos appeared in September 2026, all first looks on units CurrentBody supplied or paid for, and none reports results over time.
- Brazilian Girl Channel's in-depth review (7,829 views; gifted unit, commission and a discount code) and Sincerely Miss Ash (about 3,200 views; discount code) praise the per-LED control in the app and the presets, and Helen Avery's comparison with Series 2 (about 6,600 views; free unit, discount code) finds the mask itself unchanged and the controller the real difference.
- Beauty Beyond 40 (4,007 views) is sponsored by CurrentBody, Kim Sullins (1,072 views) is a paid partnership and Kim & Kalee (95 views) carries a discount code.
Amazon
+2 SharkThe CurrentBody Face Mask Series 3 reading covers its product line.
What they say
Shark CryoGlow
- The CryoGlow's colours share one Amazon US review file, sold and shipped by Amazon at $299 against a $349.99 list, and it holds 4.4 from 1,066 ratings when read in September 2026, split 77 percent five-star against 7 percent one-star.
- Eye cooling is tagged 78 times, 67 positive, ease of use 39 times with one negative, and relaxation 28 times, all positive.
- Battery life is tagged 29 times, 21 negative, with several owners saying it needs charging every day, and value for money splits 48 positive to 21 negative.
- One reviewer finds it easy to use and well made but heavy enough to mark the bridge of the nose, and two others call it heavy.
CurrentBody Face Mask Series 3
- The Series 3's own Amazon US listing, new in September 2026 and sold by CurrentBody's parent company, carries no ratings yet.
- The Series 2 listing it closely resembles holds 4.1 from 699 ratings, split 71 percent five-star against 15 percent one-star, and reliability is its most-criticised theme.

What they say
Shark CryoGlow
- Costco sells the CryoGlow as a members' kit with a charging stand and a silk pillowcase (model FW332COPL), and the listing holds 4.5 from 417 reviews when read in September 2026, 325 five-star against 33 one-star, with 173 of the 205 reviewers who answered recommending it; none of the 100 most recent reviews is syndicated from SharkNinja.
- Of those 100, May to September 2026, 47 carry text: 13 call it easy to use, nine praise the under-eye cooling and eight the short sessions, while seven report a unit that would not charge, would not turn on or lost an under-eye cooler, and three describe a skin reaction, from darkened cheeks to welt-like breakouts and a sunburn feeling.
- Best Buy's listing holds 4.8 from 249 with 94 percent recommending, but all 40 of its lowest-rated and most-relevant reviews carry Best Buy's note that the reviewer received promotional consideration or a sweepstakes entry; its tagged cons are battery life (10), noise (4) and weight (4).
- Ulta's 4.3 from 328 is mostly SharkNinja's own review file, 20 of the 25 newest, and Sam's Club holds six reviews.
CurrentBody Face Mask Series 3
- No US retailer shows ratings for the Series 3.
- 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.
Shark CryoGlow vs CurrentBody Face Mask Series 3: pros and cons
What each one does well, and where it falls short.
Pros 5
510(k) K242796 is Shark's own filing and describes this 480-LED mask
Blue 415, red 630 and near-infrared 830 nm published
Under-eye cooling at three levels, with or without the LEDs
Routines of 4, 6 and 8 minutes, hands-free with a remote timer
Amazon 4.4 from 1,066; Costco 4.5 from 417
Cons 6
Output never independently measured; the 128 mW/cm2 is Shark's figure at the LED
The chill pads block LED light from the under-eyes
Rigid 1.5 lb shell; owners report marks and pressure under the eyes
Fans audible while the cooling runs, and battery life a common complaint
Shark's US product FAQ gives blue as 630 nm, against 415 nm everywhere else
Sold at $299.99 against a $349.99 list price on sharkninja.com
Pros 5
Six published peaks: 415, 532, 590, 633, 830 and 1072 nm
750 LEDs, against 236 on Series 2
Four presets plus app control that chooses the wavelength by LED
Flexible silicone shell with chin strap and eye inserts
Rechargeable over USB-C; hands-free 10-minute sessions
Cons 5
Sold as FDA cleared; no 510(k) names this model, and the listing cites a clearance for a different 566-LED mask
No irradiance published and none measured independently
$100 more than Series 2 for the same shell
Returns only for unopened devices; a fault after six months gets store credit or a replacement, not a refund
Early testers report an extra app step before each session and a mouth opening too small to drink through
