Manicare Salon Magnifying Pore Vacuum

Received my pore vacuum to test. Lovely purple and black unit with clear suction cups. Love the interchangable cups especially for the hard to reach placed along the nose. Downloaded the app but no matter what I try, phone data or wi-fi the app kept disconnecting. After trying everything I could think of to get the app to work I gave up and attempted the process without the help of the app. The few times I managed to actually see my skin on the app it was somewhat blurred and not an entirely clear picture. Not sure if its got something to do with my phone or the app.

Steamed my face before hand to open up the pores. Started on the lightest setting as I was warned the unit could bruise your skin if using too high a setting. Slowly glided the unit taking extra care not to stay in one spot for too long.

Lowest setting did clear a handful of pores but not as I was hoping. Changed to setting to a higher incriment and attempted again. This time a few more stubborn pores was removed but again not the bigger more stubborn ones. At this point I opted to wait a couple days before attempting again as I could see some parts turning red. Luckily I didn't have bruises the next day and I could see somewhat of a difference in the pores especially on the nose.

With repeated use I believe the unit us strong enough to give you a clearer skin. Will attempt again in a couple of days

This product comes with a great variety of head types and is effective yet not too harsh on the skin. I was so shocked at how clear the camera feature on this pore vacuum would be! I did have struggles using the app on my phone so had to use my partners. However, It is so awesome how close up it is so you can see the work it's actually doing!

This was my first time using a pore vacuum, I’ve always wanted to try one as I get a lot of congestion and blocked pores in my tzone. This definitely worked at sucking out most of the blockages! I particularly liked the microdermabrasion nozzle, which made my skin feel really smooth afterwards and removed all the dead surface skin. I wouldn’t say I’ve got overly sensitive skin, but I just did my tzone as the suction even on soft was pretty strong and could easily cause damage. I also found the normal nozzle effective and only used the narrower one on my nose. I did have a mild breakout afterwards of small white heads but I put that down to my skin having a purge and clean out after the microdermabrasion and the suction bringing the oils and congestion to the surface. The camera and app was an awesome bonus! So satisfying to see a close up of your pores being cleaned out as it’s happening haha!

Pros: Looks sleek & modern Excellent camera 4 different tips Battery lasts ages

Cons: Handle is slick, making it easy to drop Uses/has it's own wifi (should be Bluetooth) Pulls gunk up but not necessarily OUT

Careful with this device. It can be addictive just looking at the 'icky-ness' of your skin as you don't have to have the suction going. That being said, I highly recommend avoiding the strong suction as 2 friends used it at that setting and they both ended up with redness that didn't go away for 2 days. Best used after a shower with freshly cleaned skin. Don't linger, always keep the device moving while suction is on. Keep in mind the vacuum may not necessarily pull out all gunk, in that case do NOT go over the gunk again and again - just pull it out carefully with a pair of tweezers.

I've been dying to try a pore vacuum for a while now and I finally got the opportunity! When it arrived, I thought the device was very pretty. I loved the app as, let's be honest, we all want to see that sucker work it's magic! The app was super easy to use. The device work a treat on my blackhead prone nose and it was so satisfying watching it do so. While I wasn't left with a blackhead free nose, it definitely improved the texture and reduced the number of clogged pores. The price point I've seen the device marketed at is very affordable in comparison to it's competitors.

Some things I didn't love about it: -There's nothing nice to store it in! A wee bag for the sucker and a case for the nozzles would definitely improve the product. Also, a cleaning brush of some form wouldn't go a miss. - I found it quite a harsh device in general. While occasional use may be beneficial, I will not be adding this to my skin care routine. It left my skin feeling red and raw. I will definitely just be using it to target my problem areas which are prone to blackheads such as my nose and chin. - Hello pimples! As with all new skin treatments and products, my skin takes a while to adjust. I had a few whiteheads pop up in the areas I targeted in the following days, probably indicating the device was doing what it's meant to do - surfacing all the grime that's been hiding in my pores!

Awesome concept! It is made very well with 3 settings. I wanted to stick to the lowest suction setting although I did find that my blackheads were more stubborn and I needed to increase the pressure. I did try it on my family as well and it worked better on others than me! Our skin types must differ as mine is on the dry side at the moment and it worked better on those with oily skin. With my drier skin - it didn’t seem to pull out my blackheads completely, only half way. The camera is really HD and really amazing to use even just to look at your skin! Easy to connect as well. Have always wanted to try one of these and now I am happy to have used this one! Great work to Manicare. It was super fun to try

I have used the Manicare Salon Magnifying Pore Vacuum 3 times over the week long trial period. My nose has always had congested pore and blackheads, so I was keen to see improvement in this area. Setting up the technology side of things was easy...even for a 50 plus tech amateur. Easy to find and load app via Google play onto my Samsung phone. Popped the hand piece on charge and then got into it. Pairing the hand piece and phone was a little confusing....you must have the handpiece switched on and then the Manicare interface will pop up on your broadband selector on your phone...you may need to turn WiFi off and then on to see it come up. I tried the soft and normal suction first then upped the suction to the maximum. Wow sucky!! But I was still able to keep the hand piece moving over my nose...it is suggested and the piece automatically reminds you, not to stay in one spot more than 3 seconds, or else you will get a small vacuum hicky (remember those in the teenage years?). It was tricky getting around the side of my nose, and the oval nozzle came in handy here. The micordermabrasion nozzle worked well for an area of rough skin. While you don't see the pores immediately clear with the suction, the gunge is certainly brought to the surface and you can clear this residue with application of toner (not supplied) after. Certainly the process was more fruitful on a hot day versus a cold day.....even when I had pre washed with warm water. It was super scarey to see my nose looked like a strawberry on my phone 10x magnification. But I can definitely say that after 3 uses, the effect was less and my skin was smoother and clearer. I did notice the handpiece heated up in my hand, but not to the extreme. A privilege to be able to trial the Manicare Salon Magnifying Pore Vacuum, as I would never purchase, for fair of wasting money, but I hope this review gives others confidence to do so.

First off let me start by saying this product was amazing but damn it was CONFRONTING! Seeing my skin at 10x magnified zoom via the handy little app on my phone was very real and I dont think i was ready for it hahaha! The packaging was great and full of clear and straight forward instructions and really great helpful tips for use, unfortunately though what it didn't give directions for was how to clean and maintain the product. Doesn't say if its safe to rinse it in water to clean and the best way to clean the camera to maintain its longevity. The app was super easy to find on the app store and theres a QR code on the side of the box for even easier access. It was super easy to use and connect to. The product itself was good, it had quite a bit of suction and a variety of different heads for different desired results. It missed quite a few spots on my face and when i went back over to suck that gross stuff out I found my skin slightly bruised. It did suck out alot of gunk though and it was satisfying watching it on the camera afterwards as the app gives you the option of taking videos and photos. I'm usually really grossed out by this sort of thing but found it fascinating on my skin!! Overall the product was great and I've already recommended it to family and friends and will definitely use it on the regular but will be very careful to take it easy next time and only go over my face once instead of doubling back. Thank yo Beauty Review and Manicare for this opportunity! :-)

What a cool little sucker! Loved the camera and being able to see my skin up close and what gunk was coming out of it! It also showed dry patches so I’m definitely going to up the ante on my moisturising regime!!!

Now in terms of the tool itself, the suction was incredible! I did manage to give myself a mini-hickey on my chin by holding it in place for too long, so pay attention to the instructions and keep it moving! And select the strength you need for your skin or the area you’re working on.

It doesn’t hurt at all, although I didn’t get a chance to use the dermabrasion tool as my skin is recovering from my first ever allergic reaction (to a cleanser). I did try all strengths and recommend starting light and working up to the strongest suction. I was sceptical about it being able to draw out blackheads, but it absolutely does! One thing I found tricky was maintaining the suction around curves, but this gets easier with practice, you just need to pay attention and I found it easier in front of the mirror.

The tool left my skin feeling nice and clear, just like after using a pore strip. I used a toner afterwards and my skin felt nice and smooth the next day. At first I thought it was pretty expensive, but if you use pore strips regularly (or would like to!) this is worth the investment and soon pays for itself.
