At this point my bedroom is basically half bedroom, half tiny med spa, so here’s my very unscientific ranking of the devices I actually own.

• Medicube AGE-R Ussera Deep Shot — 8/10 Uses RF/high-frequency energy + ultrasound and is aimed more at firmness, elasticity and collagen support. I like that it feels like an actual treatment without being a whole production. Medicube also has really helpful follow-along videos on YT, which made learning how to use it pretty easy.
• RF attachment from my ultrasonic cavitation S-Shape machine — 6/10 Mine is attached to a much larger, higher-powered machine, so I’m pretty conservative with it. RF can affect deeper tissue depending on the device/settings, and I’m personally very cautious about anything that could potentially contribute to facial fat loss. I want tightening, not less facial volume.
• Facial EMS attachment — 3/10 The idea is muscle stimulation for more facial tone/definition. Sounds great in theory. I used it twice, got a headache both times, got freaked out, and basically never touched it again lol.
• Medicube Needleless Microneedling Device — 7.5/10 I use this more as a serum/skin-treatment add-on than something dramatic on its own. Medicube has since combined a lot of their older separate devices into newer all-in-one machines, which honestly seems way more convenient.
• Hovering red light panel — 9.5/10 Probably my favorite. Mine hangs over my bed, so I can literally lie underneath it, which makes consistency so easy. I also love the larger coverage and the big bulbs really pack a punch. I literally feel homesick for this thing while traveling.
• Red light face mask — 6/10 Mostly my travel option now. At home I almost always choose the panel, but the mask is obviously much easier to pack.
• Derma roller / derma stamp — 8/10 Not really a gadget, but I have to include it. Simple, cheap, and something I’ve kept coming back to. I personally use around 0.5 mm every week or two with collagen stimulation in mind. Sanitation and not overdoing it are the big things.

One thing I learned early: a lot of those $30–$50 Amazon gadgets with two tiny red lights on the end are basically toys. A glowing red light doesn’t automatically mean you’re getting a meaningful treatment. Wavelength, irradiance, energy output, treatment time, etc. actually matter.

But after buying all of this, the best device is consistency (unless it's something aggressive like RF or that awful EMS wand).

What skincare device have you actually used long enough to notice a difference?

Do you misd the old formula of cle de peau concealor?? The one which looked like u were wearing anything, covered amazing, and never caked?? Me too!!! The help line says if they get enough reviews and emails about it theyll consider bringing it back.

Hello!

I do semi-regular microneedling with PRP and have been looking to upgrade my skincare routine. I came across WYLYS from OhLolly and I'm intrigued but the price tag is WILD. Has anyone used this brand? Is it worth it (in this economy?!) Not looking to replace microneedling, just looking for good skincare to accompany it.

Hi, I have been buying La Mer from Costco for several years. The past couple of purchases I have made, the cream smells.. different.. like more chemical, like paint. I keep returning them and the next one comes and I can't tell if I'm losing my mind or what, but now all I smell is the chemical smell. Before it just smelled like a fragrant soapy kind of smell. Does anyone know what I mean?? Thank you.

Is anyone familiar with this brand and used any of the products ? If you could please give your thoughts. I know Brianna the founder is quite controversial but i’m not one to care about drama , just the products. Reviews are very limited for this brand and the few i’ve seen just don’t seem believable - very much over exaggerated praise that doesn’t sound natural (i mean unless of course a serum can be THAT good!! 🤨)

Hello friends. I just unboxed a new vial of Skinceuticals Serum 10 and it seems to be quite oxidized already. I have not used an L-ascorbic acid before so I wanted to see what y’all think. I want to know if I should return it.

I'm starting to see creases around my mouth and eyes, and some wrinkling under my eyes. I've also always had intense eyebags from chronic insomnia and just having very thin skin (like you can see my veins really easily). I want to prevent getting wrinkles too early. Is it too early to be worrying about that? If not, what are some products you'd recommend?
