This is NuFACE NuFACE Mini Petite Facial Toning Device
This item is SUPER COOL.I am giving it 4 stars because I have not been using it that long (less than a week) but first time used it literally saw a big different on my face. Here's my honest review.
Also before I purchased this item, I did hours, literally hours of research comparing similar, I watched tons of YouTube videos from professionals and regular people who have the Trinity and the Mini. I purchased the Mini. I will list why as well.
PROS
- $199 cannot beat this price, wow (make sure you get from authorized seller, Amazon is listed as an authorized seller on Nuface's website so that is a PLUS).
- Mini price point does same thing as the Trinity (except this has additional attachments you can buy), Mini has no extra attachments. I already purchased a LED light therapy face mask here on Amazon before so you place it on your face to help regenerate your skin collagen, fade wrinkles, etc., I did not feel I needed the Trinity or spend $$ for its attachments. After extensive research the Elle attachment for the Trinity is another $149, and it is targeted for around eyes, mouth, (they also have an LED attachment too), but if you purchase the Nuface Mini, I really didn't see the need, but that is me. I have a small face, not too large and I think placing the Mini in areas like around the mouth, under eyes as targeted was just fine.
- SIZE literally fits in my palm. Based on videos I watched tons I could never get a sense of the size of this, but when I got it, I was impressed. See picture in context to my hand.
- Gel primer. Now for how to use product. Yes, you MUST use the gel primer because it helps conduct the micro current whatever it does to make this thing work better on your face. I have no scientific clue how or why it works, I kinda don't care, it's FDA cleared so I'm good, but just saying that if they say use the Gel, yes, use it. Some people in reviews complained as they were using it, the product dried up. It's supposed to look wet on your face. With that said, I had no problem using it as instructed, putting a wet layer on my face and finishing up the quadrants of my face as instructed.
I want to say it was so quiet and using this I thought the thing was broken at first, but then I realized it was working when I was done, my face looked firmer, more supple.
I didn't have the same bad gel primer experience. It did feel a little tingly when I first put it on my face, I also have very sensitive skin. But I did not break out in a rash or anything, just felt very gely on my face. When done, you wipe off the gel with warm towel and then put your normal regimen. Like hyaluronic, peptides, retinol or whatever normal regimen you use on your face. I buy from Amazon too, about $15 dollars for 100% organic 1 or 2 oz you can find a deal.
- I did one side of my face first. I am NOT kidding I had noticed I was getting laugh lines and nothing wrong with laugh lines but I wanted my face to feel firmer too. Sometimes I wake up and my face is all mushed from the pillow and after years of this, can cause wrinkles and stuff. Anyways, I'm a preventative type person, I rather have a solid regimen now than wait till it's too late later, ya know what I mean??
- It says to use the product recommended daily for 5 minutes. I will be honest, I used first time about 15 minutes. I was trying to get used to the thing.
- I did a before and after pic and sent to my friend who is kinda a skeptic. I won't post those pics on here, but my friend was like very cool. One side of my face the laugh line is very faint now, the other side is deeper so I will work on that some more. I should work for this company, cause I need to get commission for the sales. HAHA ;-) hey anybody from NuFace reading my review?? HAHA. Seriously, I was not paid to endorse their product, I am just a regular shopper on Amazon.
CONS
- Currently I do not have cons. I can post a follow up review once I have used it longer.
- Not really a con but you must be consistent user. You must use this as instructed daily for at least 5 minutes a day, 60 days initially to see the results they recommend this many times. If you do not think you can focus 5 minutes a day on your skin care for 60 days, then do not shell out money for this product, then complain you see no results. CONSISTENCY is key here.
- I will say if you have pace maker, seizures, all that stuff that a micro current can affect, NO You CANNOT use this product. Do not read my review and think that this tool is for everyone. If in doubt, talk to your doctor before buying this thing. This is my legal disclaimer.
