Manicare Microneedle Derma Roller

I was (un)lucky enough to have a giant, painful pimple when I got the roller! Even though I literally went to beauty therapy school for 2 years, I couldn't help but try and pop it.. A couple of times.. Needless to say, I had a big purple acne scar. Obviously I avoided the area with the roller until it healed, but after that, it was fair game. And now after a few weeks of regular use (I mostly used it every second day, or at least 2-3 times a week) and now the scar is completely gone! I do still have some of my older acne scars, but they have faded a little. I think the trick is definitely to act quick on fresh scars. I have found that my overall skin tone has improved too.

The roller itself is easy and comfortable to use. It probably only squeaked like twice and that was after using it a fair few times. There was no pain whatsoever. Afterwards, it just felt like a bit of mild sunburn for about 20 minutes. I like to apply a soothing serum afterwards. I use Medik8s Calmwise anti redness serum. Make sure to sterilize the roller before and after use! Isopropyl works best. Manicare have a brush cleaner that is literally just isopropyl and fragrance. So I just use that. Multipurpose!

If you've ever had needling done at the physio for an injury, this works in a similar manner. Creating small injuries to the area to trigger your body's healing response (in this case, collagen production)

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.

I was super excited to be on this trial, I had never been to a beauty salon to have any sort of treatment and to be able to try it in my own home was very cool. When the derma roller arrived I was initially scared to try it as I was scared it would hurt. But it doesn’t hurt to me at all. I made sure I cleansed my skin really well and then I rolled it over my face a couple of times each way. It feels quite nice. A little prickly but not at all sore. My skin didn’t turn red and I was amazed at how it was such a quick process. The derma roller came with a sanitizer which you spray on once used and then you let it air dry before putting it back in its package. I applied my skincare straight after as it’s supposed to help the skincare work more efficiently. I could tell I had used something on my face afterwards. It just felt like I’d done something. I feel as though this is a really affordable product. I am not sure of any visible difference to my skin as yet but look forward to seeing results later down the track.

I was nervous to use this product thinking it might hurt my skin. In actual fact it was not hurtful at all. I found the product easy to use and followed instructions carefully. By using it 3x a week I noticed a great change in my skin appearance. My skin was not so red as normal and it made my skin seem brighter over the period of using it. I did struggle to use it under my eyes, but working it on my cheeks and forehead was super simple and did have great results. I did it at night time after I cleansed my skin. So I would feel a tingle in my skin about 10 mins after use and this is when it must have been doing its thing!!! Brilliant product for me, will use all the time. Didn't take much time out of my day either, very quick process.

So this strange looking needle roller might actually be the secret to great looking skin!

I've been using this for about 3 weeks and I think my skin has improved quite a lot in that time.

It doesn't hurt to uses it, in fact the rolling doesnt really feel like anything much at all. Afterwards there is a definite 'feeling' - its not a sting, not a tingle, just a sensation that something has been stimulated.

I've been using this in bed, and immediately slathering my night serum on -I really think it's boosted the serums effects and I feel like my skin is smoother and brighter, and a lot more even in tone.

I'll continue using this happily and likely repurchase in 3 months!

540 needles. That's what I find so unbelievable. On this little facial roller are 540 spikey points. It would be a barbaric beauty treatment if it wasn't so effective!

I was a bit apprehensive about using it for the first time and followed the instructions to do just one roll in each direction and to build up over time. As it was it kind of felt pleasant, with no discomfort.

Definitely do this at night - it makes your face super red after use, but that's gone by morning so all good!

My skin looks and feels great and I don't think its the placebo effect either, I really feel a positive impact has been had. The areas of discolouration from pregnancy look less stark and the texture of my skin is very,very soft.

I think this is one of those hype products that actually do the job. Is it a miracle product? Nope. But it does work!

I'm a sucker for a beauty gadget, especially one that makes you say, 'uh, really?' when you hear about it.

The idea of rolling my face with needles to look younger definitely made me say 'uh, really?' so I knew one way or another, I'd be trying one. Enter Beauty Review!

This comes with a handy little storage case, which is good because you're not meant to drop this and the idea of those little needles picking up dirt and pushing it into your skin is a bit repulsive!

It's easy to use and although I found the instructions about what pressure to use a bit vague, it's actually fairly intuitive once you get rolling.

I didn't mind the rolling sensation or the tingle after. Definitely watch what you put on your skin afterwards though - stick with something hydrating and gentle, you're not going to want to layer an active like Retinol on after needle rolling!

I've built up to 4 strokes in each direction, and I honestly LOVE needle roller night. IT feels good and I wake up with soft, supple skin that has a glow. Who doesn't want to wake up glowy?

I had a look for pricing and 40$ seems steep for something you're going to have to replace every three months, BUT you'd so pay more having regular salon treatments right?

I think this is an easy step-up to slot into your skin care routine, and it's super effective, so full marks from me.

Nice little tool to help serums penetrate the skin a bit better. Used it for a week and could clearly see the lines already disappearing. Much cheaper and safer than injections I would say.

This is good for getting extra moisturization into your skin which is nice. However you really need to get this professionally done to achieve the benefits as the needles are longer which makes the skin bleed to create the collagen boost.
