SugarBaby Glow Your Own Way Micro-Needle Facial Roller

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.

…not going to lie, the name of this just automatically got Fleetwood Mac stuck in my head! So starting off on that good note:

What I loved: the packaging! An embossed matte box felt really lux and something a little special. This roller comes in its own clear storage case and it was sealed - especially in this current climate and as this product contains (tiny) needles, it felt sterile and safe to use from the get go.

The product: honestly I can’t say whether it has done much for my skin - but that’s not to say it’s bad. Rather, I expect this is more of a long-term skincare routine situation to see noticeable results. It didn’t hurt to use at all and hasn’t irritated my sensitive skin so far. So that’s a win in my book!

Will I keep using it? Sure - it hasn’t had any negative effect. However I will likely use it more on my hair than skin - I had read somewhere that rollers like this can help stimulate hair growth. So dual purpose makes this even better!

I am loving this dermal roller! The sleek silver design is very chic. The potential benefits of dermal rolling are immense and I'm excited to see if I will get the great results too. I have used this roller twice and it's super easy. After rolling in a criss cross fashion by skin was red and inflamed - I was crossing y fingers that it would not be the case in the morning! Luckily, redness had passed and I was good to go! I am yet to see any real difference to my skin so will continue to use twice a week and see what happens in a few months time.

I have been using this roller every three days as directed and as instructed have been rolling each direction up to five times on all the recommended areas. My routine consisted of cleansing, patting dry and applying serum and then immediately used the roller, resisting the temptation to press in and just letting the weight of the roller be the guide. I am glad that I didn’t press it in as the gentle rolling method recommended on the box was just enough to puncture the skin allowing it to absorb the serum and then the night cream. Even so my skin did slightly redden and tingle a bit for about 30 minutes - alerting me to the fact that I had used it correctly and also realising why the under eye area is off limits ! Already my skin is starting to feel well nourished and tighter, and some of the finer wrinkles are looking hydrated and less obvious, plus a welcome glow that I haven’t seen for a while. So, would I recommend it to a friend - yes I would as even though its early days I can see a very welcome improvement and more to follow.

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.

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.

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.

I loved the tidy little box the product came packaged in and also the case the roller is also inside. This makes it so much easier to keep clean and undamaged in. The roller itself looks sleek, yet simple. Initially when I started using it I got a couple of little breakouts and nearly had a wee meltdown. I would definitely suggest persisting through this or having a couple of days break and then try again. As I have continued to use it I have noticed my skin is so much smoother and really glows. I would nearly go as far as saying this has the biggest impact on my skin compared to anything else I have ever used on my face myself. I would definitely continue using the roller and would love to know a little more about the longer lengthed needles. I think this is such an amazing at home product. I'm not sure what the salon micro needling is like but I think if you are contemplating any kind of micro needling then try this first. I will definitely be continuing to use the SugarBaby Glow Micro-Needle Facial Roller.

What an ingenious idea for a facial tool. And so simple to use!

I felt very grateful to have the opportunity to trial this product. The idea very much appealed to me. The product comes in a box with cute pink branding, and I like the plastic cover that the tool comes in that keeps it clean and safe, and that it is able to be returned there after each use.

I have been following the instructions and using the roller after cleansing and using my night oil, rolling it over sections of my skin as recommended. It has taken a few times of using it, but I feel like I am starting to see an improvement in my uneven skin tone. My skin is also starting to lose some of it's dullness. I am very encouraged by the improvement and hope with longer term use I can come back and report ongoing improvement. So far I think it is a very good little tool, good quality, economical, easy to use, and does what it says it will do, which is to send uneven skin tone and aging imperfections packing. It is early days as I have only used it 3 - 4 times to date, but I am expecting even better results with more use and will happily update my review in another month or so, hopefully using the words 'miracle' and 'magic' as outlined in the product claim.

In the meantime though, I do recommend trying it as my results so far have been very good..
