SugarBaby Glow Your Own Way Micro-Needle Facial Roller

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.

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..

The roller comes in a plastic case, which is ideal, keeping it clean and sterile. I poured the alcohol to clean into the dip where the roller head sits and cleaned it in the case. I have found my skin glowing, tighter more youthful after using this micro-needle roller. My age spots may have slightly changed but not as obvious as the smooth texture, which was straight away. After cleaning my face at night I put my HA serum on and rolled vertically then horizontally afterwards on an angle, going over lines and wrinkles more intensely. My face instantly looks and feels tighter. It does go red/pink so good to do when you are just going bed or at home for the evening. It does sting a little, good to not put too much pressure on, just let it roll. I put serum on afterwards as well as before, my skin soaks up the serum. Then put night cream afterwards once my skin settles down a bit. My husband has noticed that my skin looks tighter after using the roller. I’m really pleased with the results so far.

…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.

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 hate needles, so the idea of me rolling needles across my face was a little daunting! It took a bit of courage to actually take it out of the box to try, but I did it and I don't hate it. Opening the box, I see the micro-needle roller in its protective case and enclosed in a sterile wrap. It took a bit of fumbling to open the plastic protective case, trying be careful not to drop it! I think a hinged lid may be better than this one which comes right off. The silver handle looks nice and although it looks metal, it is actually plastic which makes it nice and light but I'm not sure how long it would last. Following the instructions, I tried the micro-needle facial roller on 1 side of my face so I could see the difference. There was no pain as such, more of a light cat scratch sort of feeling. Afterwards, my face had a mild burning sensation for a while before falling asleep. Overall, I have seen a reduction in fine lines and my skin tone has improved on the side I have been using it on. As good as it is, I don't look forward to the burning sensation after using it so I'm not sure how long I will keep it up if at all.

Packing is nice and like how the micro roller comes all sealed in a clear container which protects the small needles from damage. After cleansing I apply my serum then roll the roller lightly over my face horizontally and vertically 4 to 5 times. You can feel the small needles on your skin but it doesn't hurt at all remembering to just hold lightly. Afterwards my face had a nice tingly sensation all over and skin does feel fresh. Personally I haven't noticed too much difference but think with longer use I will. Easy to clean and keep in the case.
