Manicare Microneedle Derma Roller

I was so excited to trial derma roller & I am very very impressed with how it went. As a former beauty therapist I’ve used the Dermapen on all my clients. It’s a very expensive treatment that I certainly can’t afford now that I’m no longer working in the industry & I was hopeful that this roller would provide some benefits that were noticeable.

I’m please to say that it has! It has very short 0.3mm needles which I’m overjoyed about as anything longer can be damaging if not used correctly. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t prep the skin and apply caution when using, but the chance of injury is considerably smaller.

Needles this small are brilliant for encouraging the production of collagen and for leaving the skin glowing and firm. They can also assist with pigmentation but this will require a lot more time. For deep acne scars I wouldn’t recommend it but surface scars will show change after long term use.

The needles are very very sharp which is amazing as you really don’t need to apply any pressure which also minimises the risk of accidental injury. As for the pain factor - it is uncomfortable while using but it’s certainly not unbearable! The after affects feel a lot like a hot sunburn and the skin can become quite red. Definitely use in the evening and ALWAYS wear sunscreen as the skin is far more sensitive the following day.

Overall I’m really impressed with the Manicare Derma Roller and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve the quality, texture & appearance of their skin!

I received the manicare microneedle derma roller on a trial team (Thanks BR!) and have been trialling it for a few weeks now and i love it! I had previously done a bit of research about derma rollers but had never actually used one so i was super excited to try one as i struggle with acne scars and uneven skin tone. Using the roller for the first time i was nervous it would hurt but it didn't and was very easy to use. I rolled every part of my face 4 times (4 different directions) and then afterwards i used this skin brightening cream i had and a serum. Both of these products i had used but didn't find they done much for my scars in the past but the roller made the products actually absorb into my skin! I had a very dark acne scar above my lip for a few months and after using the roller it has completely disappeared which is super amazing. After every use i sprayed my roller with the isopropyl alcohol spray by manicare to disinfect it. I didn't have a specific routine on when i rolled my face i just done it when i felt like i needed to. I will be continuing to use this derma roller as i think it is amazing. I have young skin so i cant really say how it works for more mature skin but i would highly recommend for hyper pigmentation from an acne scar.

This was such an epic trial! I was a little anxious about the idea of derma rolling but it was entirely painless and very easy to do.

The derma roller arrived looking far less intimidating than I thought it might. You can’t see rows of needles, they are super small, it looks like slightly raised rows. I tried it on my hand first and felt basically nothing. On my face, it’s hard to explain, it feels like a textured roller, ever so slightly prickly on my forehead where the skin is tighter.

I used the roller once a day at night, three times a week. The routine sounds a little onerous with all of the directional rolling but it really does only take a minute.

I started to see results a week in. My redness definitely reduced and my pores seem smaller. My skin feels and looks smoother. I haven’t noticed a difference yet in my fine lines but I have high hopes with continued use!

I also believe this aided my serum, it absorbed beautifully after using the roller.

It’s so easy to use and feels like you’re doing something really good for your skin, I enjoyed adding it in to my routine.

So affordable in comparison to beauty treatments, and easy to use, you can’t really go wrong!

I was highly suspicious of how effective an at home Derma Roller could be. Could it really change my skin? Make it more youthful and glowy looking? Help reduce the look of pores? Work on my cystic acne scar tissue? It turns out my suspicions were unfounded.

Manicare Microneedle Derma Roller was far more effective than I could have hoped for. But first...

It's a lightweight, silver plastic contraption with loads of miniscule needles on a cylinder. I found rolling it over my face did not hurt at all, in fact it felt like someone was lightly tickling my face - which I found weirdly enjoyable.

I started off using it every other night, rolling it three times horizontally/verticallydiagonally. I found after rolling my skin would be red and tingly - like sunburn. I keep my skincare simple, so just used a hydrating moisturiser, and the morning after rolling my skin was plump and glowing.

By the end of the trial I can now roll five times each way every second day, and the roller's really showing the benefits. My skin looks younger. The pores are not so prominent. I've rolled my upper lip area and the deep wrinkles there definitely look better.

At the start of this trial I was unconvinced, but now I'll be raving about this product and buying a new one once the three months are up for sure. I can't wait to see what long term results look like.

Thank you BR!

This roller is very light and has a lovely shape that fits easily in the hand. After using it I spray it with antiseptic to sterilise the roller. It comes in a clear plastic box to store when not using that helps to keep it sterile. I was a little nervous about trying this as I thought the needles may hurt, but was pleasantly surprised at how painless it is. I used this twice a week for just over 3 weeks, increasing the amount of rolls per week and have had the most unexpected, brilliant results!! For years I have suffered with broken blood vessels on my cheeks and after the second week of using this, they have nearly disappeared! I had no idea this would help them and can not believe the results! My complexion looks a lot clearer and it's lovely not having red cheeks! I haven't noticed any change in the fine lines on my face but will keep using it and will let you know if this improves. After doing my face, neck and decolletage, I apply my night cream which soaks in so quickly and lovely. I highly recommend this product!

I wondered how this wee machine could do everything it states. I followed the directions on the first day, and it was great to have the extra email with more in-depth information sent out by the beauty crew. A nice cleansed skin and rolled the micro needle over my cheeks, chin, neck and forehead. The sensation was of pins and needles all over my skin. For the next few hours there was a funny sensation of numbness and tingling. I noted the fine lines and wrinkles I have to see any difference for the length of the trial. Having been sent the brush cleaner made me feel better about using the roller. I googled a few reviews to see what others thought of the product and to see what was expected of it. I have some sun spots and combination skin - wrinkles and fine lines. All things it is meant to be able to assist. I found the roller easy to use, it was able to be manipulated into the nose area and onto the bridge of my nose. I do not get many blackheads generally but within a week of commencing this roller I had none. It was like it sired the pores out and allowing them to breathe. Using this product also made me stay with a cleansing regime which assisted in my overall complexion improving. I liked the packaging, allowing for the roller to stay protected in its case. The overall look of the packaging was interesting as it had the bumps in the box, giving you an idea of what it’s to do. The instructions were clear and concise, this was assisted with the pictures to show you where to use it and directions to roll it. Overall I had my husband telling me my skin looked lovely, less fine lines and more supple. I looked intently at the results and found the following - less fine lines No blackheads or enlarged pores Wrinkles reduced this I was very impressed by Soft skin Supple skin More youthful appearance- tones and colour Tightened skin - not so baggy around the neck and chin area. Very happy with the results and will look forward to any new changes as I continue to use it

At first I felt really intimidated by the thought of rolling little needles on my skin but I was also intrigued as a Beauty Therapist had recommended I try it help with a few enlarged pores that I have developed since turning 40.

This Micro-derma Roller is very easy to use and completely painless. I have been using it in addition to my skincare routine every 3 days at night time. In the first 2 weeks I noticed a few minor breakouts with tiny pimples on my chin which is usually my offending part of my face. I think this was my skin getting rid of bacteria at a deeper level and coming to the surface. I initially used Matrixyl as my serum but found this to be a bit strong and tingly on my skin so I switched my serum to Hyaluronic Acid instead. After the switch my skin has settled and the result is evenly hydrated skin with a good plump texture.

I am happy so far with the results and will continue to use until the 3month recommended period of using the device before disposal. After that I am keen to try Derma Rolling at a Beauty Therapy Clinic with a greater length needle to get the full salon effect.

I think this is a great product to start the journey of Micro-needling. I definitely agree that my pore size on my nose, chin and cheeks has reduced in size. My general skin texture is overall very smooth and looks good.

The only downside would be that it's not a more long life device, it would be good if the head could be replaceable after the 3 month time period rather than throw away. That seems a bit wasteful.

All in all, I have enjoyed Micro-needling and look forward to setting aside time to do this as my skincare routine. You really can notice the difference in how the products in your skincare penetrate the skin and start working at a deeper level. If you are sitting on the fence, definitely give this device a shot. It's easy to use and not scary at all!

I was pretty sceptical as to what the results (if any) would be but I’m a convert! The first time I used it my skin tingled but it didn’t hurt. It continued to tingle for maybe 20 minutes or so afterwards but after a couple of times using, it only tingles for a very short time. I use my serums straight after and my skin just sucks it up. I can definitely see and feel a difference. My skin is softer and I’m sure my fine lines aren’t as prominent. I have a little acne scarring on my forehead and there is absolutely an improvement. I’ll be continuing to use this for sure! I can’t wait to see the difference in another six months.

I'm loving the results from this new tool in my skin care regime.

At first I was very nervous, having a mild fear of needles the idea of rolling needles across my face was a little scary. Thankfully its more of a tickle than a stab so thats all good!

Starting with a freshly cleaned face, the instructions were to roll horizontally, vertically & diagonally across face and neck then apply night time serum. Its a wee bit tingly at first, best to apply no pressure and start out slowly.

I noticed that after usng the roller my serum absorbed much faster. and my skin seemed plumper and more hydrated in the morning compared to the days I didnt use it.

I will be keeping the roller in my night time routine and look forward to seeing even better results!

I really enjoyed trying out the Manicare Microneedle Derma Roller. The first thing I noticed was the way it was hygienically packaged in a sterile packet, which I thought was important since there are a bunch of needles which go into the skin. Once removed from the sterile packet, the derma roller sits in a plastic holder to keep it sanitary once used. I was a little bit nervous about using hundreds of needles on my face as needles terrify me slightly, but thankfully the Derma Roller is completely painless and actually feels relaxing and is super quick to use. Since using the Microneedle Derma Roller, I have noticed my skin is a little more firm and my skin tone appears a little more even after a couple of weeks of use. I also really liked the way the needles allow moisturiser to absorb into the skin deeper than it would without using it. Manicare recommend replacing the derma roller every 3 months, so at a cost of $39.99 it works out a reasonable price over that space of time, especially compared to treatments at a clinic. I will definitely keep this as part of my regime in the future.
