Manicare Salon Magnifying Pore Vacuum

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.

I was so excited to try this as my nose tends to be quite bumpy and rough. Firstly the look of it is so compact and sleek, I love the colours and design. I also like that it come with four different attachments including a microdermabrasion nozzle, feel like I'm getting a lot of salon options to use at home. My favourite feature is the HD camera! Just WOW! You can see results easily and gives a sense of satisfaction. I started off with the large nozzle but suggest using the smaller one first and going up as you may not need so much suction! I found my face felt smoother even after the first use, it can get a little addicting so I try use only once a week or whenever I feel my pores look clogged. I really rate this product and would recommend. I think the price point isn't too bad considering the technology, different nozzles and the ease of use. Excited to keep using this and having smoother skin.

The Manicare Salon Magnifying Pore Vacuum is fantastic for anyone with blocked pores and blackheads that want to treat them at home.

My first impression was that I loved the packaging and the style of the pore vacuum. They have made this very simple to understand and use. All of the directions that are needed are clearly on the box. You simply charge up the device, add the app to your phone, and then decide on which vacuum head to use and then get to work clearing congested skin.

This amazing pore vacuum really managed to make me feel old! Talk about modern technology and all done at home. The pore vacuum connects to your phone so you get a really up-close view of your skin and everything that gets extracted from it! To be honest, normally I do love this kind of thing but even I was a bit grossed out to see all of my blackheads up close. Through the Manicare app, you can also take photos and videos of the pore vacuum in action. Of course, it is possible to use this device without connecting to your phone.

The pore vacuum comes with a variety of different heads. I used the microdermabrasion head as it has been some time since I have had microdermabrasion and my face was in need. This nozzle worked really well to remove dead skin. I didn't find that too many of my blackheads were extracted but I possibly also needed to use it slower over my skin. I also used the large circular nozzle over the parts of my face with blackheads. This did a fairly good job of extracting blackheads although it still left quite a few. I would think that over time the more stubborn ones will loosen and hopefully be removed. I also used both nozzles mostly on the slowest (of 3) functions. My husband also used it with slightly better results but he was much slower and had the setting higher.

A word of warning- make sure you follow the instructions! It is also a good idea to start off on the weaker suction and work up from there. My husband decided that he wanted to get out one particular blackhead from the side of my face and went over the area too many times and the next day I was left with a red patch. The rest of my face looked much smoother the following day.

Overall this is a great at-home pore vacuum! If you have congested skin then this would be a great item to purchase. With frequent use, your skin will be left less congested and glowing.

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!

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 was really excited about this, like really. But now I’m a bit reluctant to use it again… it’s a VERY cool concept but after using it a few times I’m wondering if it’s the type of treatment maybe best left to the professionals. The unit itself is very cool, sleek and shiny and the instructions are all very easy to follow. It’s very interesting to be able to see your skin up close (kinda horrifying too) and the overall unit is very innovative but despite constantly moving the unit like it instructs you to do, I have small bruises (like a hickey!) on my chin where the skin must have been more susceptible and the suction grabbed. I have used a few times to really give it a good run for its money and despite following the instructions regarding preparing the skin I don’t seem to have been able to get the extractions promised. There are a variety of nozzles to use, each for a promised effect however I found these to be much of a muchness, with the dermabrasion one quite abrasive. The app is very easy to navigate and it’s super quick to connect the unit to your phone, I like that you don’t have to be in a mirror to use it and the built in lights are great. The camera on the unit is very high quality and I actually found it more useful to identify and remove stray hairs. It’s a great gimmick but I don’t think this will be one on high rotation in my house.

When I first received this little gadget I was convinced it wouldn’t do much and would be another thing to live in my beauty graveyard. Holy moly how wrong was I!? This is the best thing I have used on my face to clear up congestion in a really long time. I have sensitive skin so I used the smaller nozzle of the 4 provided to begin with, and found it really easy to use. I wasn’t sure about the suction so started off on the soft intensity. Going over my nose it was equal parts fascinating and disgusting what was being sucked out of my face! Using the app to watch as you vacuum was definitely fun and I used the photo function to take before and after photos. The larger nozzle also felt fine on my face and made it easier to go over my cheeks and forehead. I didn’t feel there was any difference using the oval head, and the exfoliating one left my face feeling a little scratched and sore when I washed it the next morning. I found this vacuum was not only great for removing congestion, but also got rid of a LOT of the oil that had started to sit by the end of the day. Nozzles were super easy to clean, I used a cotton bud and a wet wipe to clean whilst using, then gave them a thorough clean under hot water and some cleanser after I’d finished with them. Device has a battery symbol on it, and I fully charged it when it arrived and have used it 8 times for 10-15 minutes each time and have still not moved off a full battery (currently at 93% on the app). Full charge takes around 3 hours and charging cable is a decent length. The app is basic, but does what it needs to do! It tells you what battery percentage you have left, takes photos and videos and is pretty user friendly. Camera is in the middle of the screen and takes up approximately 1/3 of the total screen.

Overall, so happy with the pore vacuum! I already have a list of people getting these for Christmas because I want everyone to try this out but am not willing to give mine over to anyone! Definitely buy this, you won’t be disappointed.

I'd never used a pore vacuum before so didn't really know what to expect. This comes with 4 different nozzles which is made of a hard plastic, I thought it would be silicone. Easy enough to put on and take off. I downloaded the app so I was able to use the camera feature which makes things so much easier to see. I never knew how much oil was on my face but you can see that all through the camera. I tried the normal setting first, the more intense setting left bruises all over my face even though I did not leave it in place for more than 3 seconds. That was the only downside to this product. It did however remove blackheads around my nose and chin. Because of the shape of my nose it didn't seem to get much suction to that as it's not flat. And some places hurt more than others. But overall I will continue to use this every so often when needed.

This Manicare Pore Vacuum with 4x attachments is an amazing product. I received in a light purple box well packaged, but do wish it came with a small carry pouch/case to keep everything in one place. I also downloaded the app which I would highly recommend, easy to connect to device and super simple to use, it magnifys x10 and OMG it was super gross at first you can see everything from hairs that need removing to the clearing out of pores, but satisfying to some. Can be used on 3 settings soft, normal and strong I honestly recommend starting at soft first to see if your skin can tolerate the suction as it has very great suction. DO NOT LEAVE ON SAME ARE FOR LONGER THAN 3 SECONDS, I left on my bridge of nose for 3.5 seconds and resulted in light bruising which only lasted a day thankfully its lockdown lol. Definitely open pores, I double cleansed than used the device straight after while my pores were open and results were much better. Easy sanitation after each use. It did say use alcohol free toner to skin but I just applied once treatment was complete. Amazing results days later from very oily skin and open pores to minimized pores, glowing skin and even skin tone thank you Manicare for an easy at home result that I'd receive at a normal salon, definitely worth the price, saving money on pore strips and pore cleansers and reducing waste just what i need.

I was super excited to try this pore vacuum as I do have quite a few stubborn blackheads that I was keen to see the back of. Things didn’t start too well when the App wouldn’t work on my iPhone and I had to use hubby’s Android but I got there and the camera was all set up and ready. The camera is really good - so good it’s terrifying! You can certainly see all your congested pores and the dirt and grime that needs to be sucked away (yuk!). The disappointment then came when I discovered how difficult it is to actually vacuum your pores, even after steaming them open. I tried all of the nozzles but couldn’t seem to ‘easily’ (as the packet suggests) clear the congestion. There were a few blackheads removed (which is really satisfying to watch!) but for the most part I would have had to have gone over and over the same spot causing pain and skin damage. The tool doesn’t ‘glide’ over your skin as is insinuated so you have to be pretty careful to keep it moving - hubby had a go and ended up with a couple of bruises down the side of his nose….eek!! I felt anxiety testing this out as you are focusing on the camera and the super zoomed in view of your face so could easily be doing damage to your skin and not even notice til you looked in the mirror. I think the best attachment was probably the microdermabrasion fitting as it definitely removed dead skin, but my pores still remained clogged, so I’m not convinced by this products effectiveness. While it was fun to give it a whirl, I’m not sold and wouldn’t write home about it. I’ll leave it to the professionals I think
