SugarBaby Glow Your Own Way Micro-Needle Facial Roller

I'll admit to being a little scared by this tool when I first took it out of its pretty pink and white box. Needles! Eek! And the fact they're visibly tiny sharp needles on a roller head didn't exactly soothe those fears either. But there was only one way to find out just how it would feel, and I was keen to try it for the benefits it is said to have. Softened lines, correcting uneven skin tone and enlarged pores - I'm here for it!

The roller is presented in a really cool clear case that helps keep the needles sharp as the head is elevated, with the case providing protection from germs once cleaned, which is crucial for anything that pierces the skin.

The instructions are very clear and easy to follow, stressing the point to allow the roller to roll over your skin without any downward pressure, side-to-side, up and down, before finally diagonally over each section. Much to my relief and enjoyment, I found the sensation really pleasant. My skin felt refreshed straight after, and in the following week, my skin tone looked more dewy and freshened. I'm not sure if it's helped soften the fine lines yet, but I'm very keen to keep using it as it feels like it reaches deep into those problem areas.

It is advised to be used up to x3 times a week, so I used it every second day, and I found myself looking forward to my micro-needle days.

Thank you for choosing me to trial this roller, BR team. I would have been too scared to buy it myself, but I love it and am a convert. I would absolutely recommend this simple and easy tool to anyone wanting something a little more intensive to revive their complexion.

At first I was a bit intimidated by this, I was worried that I would push too hard on my skin or not hard enough etc... but my worries were unfounded. It's absolutely fantastic to use. I have big pores on either side of my nose which have always been a problem for me and I have notice a huge change in that area which I'm so happy about it. The difference is very noticeable, especially under foundation. My skin is usually very combination but now it's taken on a lovely... for lack of a better word... youthfull complexion. My skin looks and feels so much more healthy and full of life. I couldn't have asked for a better result. Cleaning the roller is so easy, I just use a bit of alcohol and let it dry. The handle is a great design and easy to hold which makes using it very simple. I didn't think this would do anything but I was proven wrong which I'm so glad about.

I'd never tried a micro-needle facial roller, but wanted too! If you love serums and all the goodness with them, then the SugarBaby Glow is the amplifier to your beauty routine! I'm obsessed and it's been a bit over a week!

The packaging is awesome. The roller has a little container to keep it in after use/cleaning. It's light weight and easy to use. The design definitely encourages the light touch the instructions recommend.

First use - definitely an odd experience. the needles you feel, but it's not sore. Definitely follow instructions with the roller. No pressure, just light rolling. I used this only at night and alternated with my retinol serum and vitamin c serum.

The results were amazing compared to just using the serums on their own. My skin very plump and hydrated in the morning, so much so I haven't worn makeup this weekend. The deeper wrinkles not much change but I don't think a week is long enough to judge on that one.

I couldn't not have this roller in my routine. It's definitely made my serum's work better and best of all my skin look better, if not amazing. Sooooo Happy!!

Thank you BR team for introducing me to my new holy grail!

The roller i

The microneedle facial roller comes in a sturdy plastic storage box which is great for keeping it clean between uses.

It doesn't look that spiky but start rolling it over your skin and the tingle hurts. Definitely not painful but you do feel the spikes as you roll over your face.

After use you can feel your skin reacting to the roller in a positive way.

I don't think a week was long enough to notice huge differences but it was long enough to know I want to keep trying it as the tingle was enough for me to almost feel my skin rejuvenate

A must add to your beauty routine

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.
