SugarBaby Glow Your Own Way Micro-Needle Facial Roller

I don't really know where to start with this and maybe if I keep using it I'll change my mind but here goes.

This is the biggest gimmick I've ever come across.

Does it do what it says it will? Considering the spiel says its magic, ingenious and transforming to rid my face of fine lines, uneven skins tones and other age related imperfections then I have to say NO.

Does it feel cool? Yes. Is it weird laying in bed running some tiny, prickly needle thing over my face? Yes. Did my boyfriend want a go and like the feel? Also yes (not recommended according to the instructions).

While packaged prettily, its very light and slightly rattly leaving me with the impression its cheaply made.

2/5 lips for using again in the hopes that if I add a third week of trialling I will see a difference. I wouldn't recommend to anyone but you don't know until you try so go spend that $33 if you have literally nothing better to spend your money on. But I'd suggest a local charity first.

Have loved trialling the Glow Baby micro needling roller. I was a little nervous at first (who wouldn’t be rolling needles over your face!) but it’s a really nice end to my skin care routine. It’s really easy to use, I teamed it with my nightly serum and was left with a glowy complexion. I really think this works! The lines on my forehead seem to have visibly reduced, and my skin feels smoother. I must admit, I did feel like the branding was maybe something that I wouldn’t have picked if I’d seen it in a shop, it maybe would appeal to someone a little younger than myself. I also think it would be great if you got a small alcohol/sanitiser spray with the product so that you can clean it a few times.

This micro roller arrived in a well packaged cardboard box, with the actual roller secured in a plastic clear container inside a tamper proof vacuum sealed hygienic bag. This allowed me to visually see the product but also know that is safe and clean. Initially I thought the roller was metal given the surgical steel wording on the package, however the handle and the container it is stowed in is plastic, the roller itself is plastic with the needles surgical grade. I used the product after cleansing, and applying a facial oil, you feel a slight tingling, which is reassuring, applying only the weight of the actual roller on your skin and not pressing hard, you feel no pain and a really neat after sensation. The following day my skin felt smoother, softer. I continued to use every third day in alignment with its recommendations and overall my skin seems a lot more healthier and appearance of redness is decreased. Storage is easy and keeping the unit clean is also very easy, I am happy with these results so far and will continue to use it, It could have more instructions regarding replacing the unit, such as monthly or three monthly, but overall very happy

I was keen to try this as recently I've been using an at home microdermabrasion handset (which I have been liking). So I was interested in comparing the two very different skincare products. I was able to get 7 days usage of the facial roller before my beauty review was due, which in that 7days I used it 3times. (Using it every second or 3rd night). I read the instructions on the box which said to use with your chosen serum. (I used the homey hyaluronic acid+b5+b3). After the week I've found my skin started to break out a little bit, which I actually don't blame the facial roller for. I feel more like this used in conjunction with the serum has been the cause. So I actually want to try this product on its own without serum, which I will do once I can get my skin back to normal shape. Overall I do feel like this could possibly do my skin good, as I notice my skin looking a bit more smoother, obviously bar the breakouts. I would like to try it with other or no products. Looking forward to giving this another go in the next week or two.

I’ve tried actual micro-needling treatments at the Caci Clinic before, which do really give great results, but it’s very painful and super expensive! So these micro-rollers are a much gentler and more affordable at home option. I used this with my favourite anti-aging serum and subsequent night cream which helped the products to soak into my skin overnight. Micro-rollers really do encourage the natural production of collagen. I’ve really seen a difference with my skin and my face looks brighter and smoother in the morning after I’ve used the micro-roller the night before. I’ve previously used a micro-roller from Skin Smiths and it was a 0.3mm one, I’ve found that I much prefer this Sugar Baby roller which is 0.25mm. I just find I get better results with this one!

I was sent this as a review product, and was really excited to try it. I've seen the Manicare version of this product and what I liked about this one is that it came with much more thorough instructions.

I've got sensitive skin, and had no issues with using the roller. It feels a little weird but you get used to it. I've tried it with a couple of different serums (that I used before starting the roller) and I do feel like it's improving my skin and helping rug serum do more.

The price point is really decent, I've been recommended in salon derma timing in the past but I haven't been able to justify it. This is a good alternative for those that are happy to try an at home option.

I've also noticed less acne spots. It's too soon to see if I'm going to get big big results, but I'll keep up using it.

So far it's been tested on general skin areas including old acne scars, but the next test will be on scarring I've sustained recently through a dog bite. When I start working on those areas I'll update my review.

I was selected through beauty review to give this little boss a try! I will say at first I was a bit scared, I’ve never used anything like it and thought surely it would be a little bit painful? Then I thought.. No pain .. No gain! Boy was I wrong it doesn’t hurt at all! It definitely feels a bit tingly after but not sore! I cleanse my face then applied a night time moisturiser on! I did it every 2nd or 3rd night. In the morning my skin felt amazing and looked smooth still. I’ve noticed my acne scars are also not as dark strangely enough! I’d highly recommend trying this, I can’t wait to see what the results are the longer I do it.

Skincare has been a bit of a foreign topic for me my whole life, however, since hitting my 30's, i have been more invested how I'd like my skin to be. Bring very pale, i have some acne scarring, uneven skin tone & my skin is generally super sensitive. Currently I am using the COSRX Honey Glow kit, & within a week and a half of using these products together (only used the dermal roller twice so far) I have noticed a bit of a difference. My acne scars appear lighter, pores are noticeably smaller, & my skin feels really fresh. My current skincare routine has been given a bit of extra 'oomph' adding the micro needle roller to it!

I would like to see a little cleaning kit come along with this product, as having to purchase products to sterilize the roller was a bit of a hassle, & ideally, a 3-4 week trial period before having to make a review would have been more suitable, as I can only imagine how much better my skin will be by then.

All in all though, I'm happy so far & recommend anyone skeptical should definitely give this a go.

First up packaging doesn’t really appeal, pink and silver which looks a little old fashioned. Don’t know what you are buying from the front of box. Gadget is similar size to a large ladies razor, plastic silver handle. Quite cheap looking. Instructions only on outside of box, no pamphlet inside. Using gadget it feels like prickly heat or mild goosebumps. Works like a spiked roller aerating a lawn. After 8 days my face feels hot from the inside, but not hot to touch. It feels softer but prob from the extra cleansing and moisturising as recommended. So far I find little to make me want to use this gadget long term.

I love Micro-needling. It’s like a shakti mat for your Face. For me it’s relaxing and I also love knowing it’s doing good things for my face. Yes it leaves red marks, but they dissipate after half an hour to an hour, so it’s best done at night or early morning. The wee pricks allow skincare products to absorb into skin more so than when not using the roller.
