SugarBaby Glow Your Own Way Micro-Needle Facial Roller

I don’t have many beauty tools besides brushes and an eyelash curler but this needle roller intrigued me to try as I’m always on the lookout for at home treatments to add to my routine.

At first I was nervous looking at the tiny needles on a fast rotating roller and only starting rolling once over each area of my face. It felt like you can imagine, little continuous pin pricks even with a light pressure. Afterwards you can feel you’ve rolled but it isn’t painful. The only part I didn’t enjoy was the feeling of the needles between my nose and mouth so I avoided that after my first use. I don’t usually get redness or many reactions to products and it was the same for this.

The instructions say to use 4-5x in each area but it took me a few weeks to build up to that and after a month you really do start to notice results. I used the roller about 3x a week on a day when I wasn’t applying a face mask or a peel. After a month - just wow! I woke up one morning with incredibly soft skin, a bit plumper and my forehead lines look slightly less noticeable. I’m sure the usually large pores on my nose are less pronounced too. I even like the look of myself relatively makeup free on a zoom so it must be doing something.

The only thing I’m not sure about is how long I should keep using this before discarding and whether the needles would eventually become blunt. The instructions don’t seem to mention this but for about $30 or so if I got 6 months of use that would be fabulous.

A Beauty Vault purchase, I was super intruiged to try a microneedle home option. This SugarBaby roller seemed like a good starting point, and I am so glad I got it! It comes in a White & Pink box which has good info, inside is a hard plastic case to keep the roller in. The tool itself seems quite cheap looking, and is about the size of a personal razor. The instructions are very clear about use in regards to how often, way to do it, cleaning skin and ensuring the micro needle roller is cared for to avoid infecting your own skin. First time I used it was a night, I trialed just one side of my face, the back of one hand, and my decollatage. skin went a pink and felt quite hot on my face and chest, but not uncomfortably so. The needling itself, a little prickly, but didn't really bother me. Popped an overnight collagen mask on that I'd been using awhile, and went to bed. The next day I had to double take in the mirror. The side of the face I had treated looked so different! Plump, smoother, more alive somehow, fresher. I actually thought this was how I'd look if I was airbrushed. While results only lasted a couple of days, after using 2-3 x a week for a month, I am starting to see longer term improvements. Skin seems to repair more easily, no longer looks so tired, the crinkly look of my sun-damaged decollatage has gone, plus I've noticed small patches on the backs of my hands have started to look smoother again. While it isn't reversing age and sun damage, it is improving the texture, vitality and appearance of my skin. A great tool that I'll continue to use until I need to upgrade to another.
