Shark CryoGlow vs CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2
Last reviewed August 2026.
Short answer: both masks hold an FDA 510(k) clearance we matched in the FDA database — the Shark CryoGlow (FDA 510(k) K242796 (2024), held by SharkNinja Operating, LLC (the brand itself)) and the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 (FDA 510(k) K250966 (2025), held by Shenzhen Kaiyan Medical Equipment Co., Ltd (an OEM/licensor, not the brand on the box)). Only the CurrentBody Skin LED Mask Series 2 has a measurement under the cited protocol (18.5 mW/cm²); the Shark CryoGlow has none, so this page does not rank them on light output.

| Where to buy | Amazon ↗ sold by Amazon.com, In Stock at our 11 October 2026 read. | No Amazon link: the Amazon US featured offer on B0DHRW819R was sold by a third-party seller (Outlet Bed Story), not CurrentBody's own store, at our 9 November 2026 read. The newer CurrentBody mask has its own page: Is the CurrentBody Series 3 FDA cleared? |
How to choose
Where one side has no measurement under the cited protocol, do not fill the gap with the brand's own figure or a different tester's: they are not on the same ruler. Compare what is comparable: the clearance and who holds it, the wavelengths, the treatment time and what is in the box. A missing measurement is not a mark against the mask; it is a reason to say “unknown” rather than “less”.

LED Mask Score indexes manufacturers' FDA marketing claims against the FDA's own public record — the 510(k) database and the registration & listing index — with links, so you can read the paper yourself. We test nothing and give no medical or skincare advice. A 510(k) clearance is a safety-and-equivalence review, not a performance ranking, an endorsement, or an "FDA approval." If a brand publishes a K-number or listing that changes a row, the page changes — the record wins.
