Manicare Microneedle Derma Roller

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.

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 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'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 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)

We were given about 3 weeks to review this product which I believe is enough time to see how effective the product actually is. The needles are very fine. I followed the instructions and just glided the device over my skin which didn't cause any discomfort at all. They advised to run the product over the skin twice in each direction, increasing it to 5 over time. I actually ended up rolling it a total of 10 times, 5 in each direction as to be perfectly honest I wasn't seeing any results following their recommendations. After about 2 weeks I think I saw the pigmentation on my skin diminishing and my skin started looking brighter than usual. I'm also not sure if it was the moisturiser or the other skin care I was using but it also looked like my pore size was being reduced as well. I think also using it before my face creams etc did help my skin absorb the product better and the days after using the device my foundation looked a lot better on my skin. I'm going to continue to use it after the trial to see if my results get even better and whether it would be a good alternative to clinic based microneedling as that is something that has been recommended to me in the past but there is that hefty price tag attached to it.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to review this both myself and my husband both used it and have both found it quite good so we will continue. It’s nice and light weight and fits well in your hand with the roller having tiny little needles that are very gentle when you roll it over your face and neck. I found the instructions on the box easy to follow and I used the roller in all directions on my head abs neck. Using it every second night I did find I had a little bit of redness and I could really feel my serum soaking in so will have to get some more serum. I have noticed some of my fine lines seem even finer if that’s possible lol I think it will continue to use it and I believe you can buy replacement heads so I think it would be a good tool to have.

This was my first time using a microneedle derma roller, I was a little nervous at first due to: A. not knowing what the needles would actually feel like, and B. Doing it wrong. But, in the end, I found it easy to use and completely painless. Routine-wise, it recommends using the product ~3-4 times a week, so I went with an every-other-day routine; which seemed to work well.

Although a lot of the more long-term benefits are yet to be seen (naturally), there were certainly some immediate benefits that can be seen/felt. First, the better 'product absorption' claim is bang-on, almost scarily so! After using the roller, I put my usual moisturizer on, and it sucked right into my skin, I actually had to put another layer on because I was thinking 'where the heck did it all go?!'. Other changes I noticed not long after starting the product was my skin texture has improved, a lot. My partner actually noticed it first, I had thought my skin was feeling much more velvety and soft, but he pointed out how visibly smooth my skin also was. The final change I noticed, was the improved appearance of older acne scars/redness, I wouldn't say anything too drastic, but I imagine with continued use I will see even more results.

Overall, I think this is a fantastic beauty tool, great for beginners, and the price point is excellent. Once I'm done with this roller, I am actually going to try some longer length needles. I do think it's also important to have some sort of established skincare routine to incorporate this into, as I imagine there are a lot of benefits not realised if the roller is used without products.

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 have been using the Manicare Microneedle derma Roller for 2 weeks to trail it. During that time my skin has felt softer and i have had slightly less breakouts. I think it has helped to remove more dead skin cells. I found the Manicare Microneedle derma Roller easy to use and easy to clean. It was not painful just like tiny pricks on your skin. My skin felt refreshed after using. I will continue to use the Manicare Microneedle derma Roller.
