Manicare Microneedle Derma Roller

This was my first time using a microneedle derma roller, I was a little nervous at first due to: A. not knowing what the needles would actually feel like, and B. Doing it wrong. But, in the end, I found it easy to use and completely painless. Routine-wise, it recommends using the product ~3-4 times a week, so I went with an every-other-day routine; which seemed to work well.

Although a lot of the more long-term benefits are yet to be seen (naturally), there were certainly some immediate benefits that can be seen/felt. First, the better 'product absorption' claim is bang-on, almost scarily so! After using the roller, I put my usual moisturizer on, and it sucked right into my skin, I actually had to put another layer on because I was thinking 'where the heck did it all go?!'. Other changes I noticed not long after starting the product was my skin texture has improved, a lot. My partner actually noticed it first, I had thought my skin was feeling much more velvety and soft, but he pointed out how visibly smooth my skin also was. The final change I noticed, was the improved appearance of older acne scars/redness, I wouldn't say anything too drastic, but I imagine with continued use I will see even more results.

Overall, I think this is a fantastic beauty tool, great for beginners, and the price point is excellent. Once I'm done with this roller, I am actually going to try some longer length needles. I do think it's also important to have some sort of established skincare routine to incorporate this into, as I imagine there are a lot of benefits not realised if the roller is used without products.

I was (un)lucky enough to have a giant, painful pimple when I got the roller! Even though I literally went to beauty therapy school for 2 years, I couldn't help but try and pop it.. A couple of times.. Needless to say, I had a big purple acne scar. Obviously I avoided the area with the roller until it healed, but after that, it was fair game. And now after a few weeks of regular use (I mostly used it every second day, or at least 2-3 times a week) and now the scar is completely gone! I do still have some of my older acne scars, but they have faded a little. I think the trick is definitely to act quick on fresh scars. I have found that my overall skin tone has improved too.

The roller itself is easy and comfortable to use. It probably only squeaked like twice and that was after using it a fair few times. There was no pain whatsoever. Afterwards, it just felt like a bit of mild sunburn for about 20 minutes. I like to apply a soothing serum afterwards. I use Medik8s Calmwise anti redness serum. Make sure to sterilize the roller before and after use! Isopropyl works best. Manicare have a brush cleaner that is literally just isopropyl and fragrance. So I just use that. Multipurpose!

If you've ever had needling done at the physio for an injury, this works in a similar manner. Creating small injuries to the area to trigger your body's healing response (in this case, collagen production)

First impression of packaging was that it looked tidy, compact and straight forward. Opening the derma roller box - it was in a sealed pouch in a clear container. It looked sterile and was happy it had its own purpose made container. The needles are short and tiny. Read through instructions which were straight forward. Cleansed my face thoroughly and started rolling as per diagram on packaging. It says not to use pressure and let it roll over skin using its own weight. It wasn't uncomfortable at all, easy to handle and rolled easily over the contours of my face. After rolling in all directions over my face it felt prickly, only slight discomfort. Put a serum on and ready for bed. My face tingled for a bit until I fell asleep. Woke up the next morning and had a look for any reactions or blemishes and my skin was great. I don't know if it was in my mind, looking for a difference but noticed my skin looked dewy and slightly plump. Used it as per instructions - every second day. Using the sterilize spray (pleasant scent) after every use and placed back into its container. Careful with sun exposure and sunblocked daily. The serum I chose to use with this trial was a vit C and hyaluronic serum. Overall I enjoyed this product trial, it was different to other trials Ive done, I like the idea of a salon treatment I was able to perform at home regularly using my product choices. Everything is straight forward and easy to use.

Nice little tool to help serums penetrate the skin a bit better. Used it for a week and could clearly see the lines already disappearing. Much cheaper and safer than injections I would say.

I used it every night, after doing the Chris cross and up down pattern I think put on HA serum, in the morning my skin looked plumper, as the week went on just looked better and better. The cleaner that came with the roller has a lovely smell, gave my roller good spray after each use and popped it back in secure case. No pain with the roller as it’s not going deep into skin, just make sure you have cleaned your skin free of makeup and creams before hand

In February 2021, my skin clinician advised me to buy Derma roller. I was sceptical of bruising my skin and breakouts. But when I read the BR article about Manicare Microneedle Derma roller, I raised up my hand and was excited to receive it and start using. Manicare Microneedle Derma Roller came 3 weeks ago. It is well packed in the curvy plastic case and the after-use sanitizing is super easy and quickly dries to pack the roller away for next time, which is very important after use step. Over the last 3 weeks I used roughly 3 times a week. The first time i followed the instructions, I was still figuring out the best way of rolling it on my skin in different directions without extra pressure. It becomes hard not to apply pressure while rolling, but you get used to in next few times and start using it exactly how fingertips are rolled (not surely that feeling) on face.

For skin to sink in the benefits of skin care products it is best to use before sleep.I got used to the painless microneedles rolling over my skin at 4th use. I use a regular gel face wash, and starting rolling from my forehead sections, both side temples, both Cheeks, nose sides and top rail, upper lips, chin area and neck area just below my chin. I rolled the Derma Roller side-to-side 2 times, up & down 2 times, diagonally 2 times. I did make sure to cover all areas on each section of my face and neck plus the hyperpigmented areas (areas of concern on my forehead and cheeks) were worked on exclusively. I also exfoliate my skin every week to let the skin care products and derma roller work effectively.

Right after use, I apply my 2 night skin care serums followed by night cream. This allows the needled parts of skin to soak up the serums. I could see a change in my skin 2 weeks ago, with a glow with pigmented areas starting to fade, and my skin feels smoother too. I have scars on my cheeks from breakouts years ago. Along with those changes, using the Manicare Micro needling Derma Roller never caused any redness on my skin. When I woke up every morning from nights of using the roller and even when I did not use it (days when I did not use it, as I used 3 times a week only), my skin felt plumped and cared for.

I love myself and I love taking care of myself. I will continue using the painless derma Roller now for sure. This is a part of my skin care routine 3 times a week. I have recommended this to my sister and few friends who have skin issues. It delivers great results. I will continue using to get more out of this for sure. It is so crazy that the microneedles work at home, if used with care on your skin, same as visiting a professional skin clinic. Saves so much money! Amazing! Thank you, BR, for this opportunity and awareness of micro needling at home.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to review this both myself and my husband both used it and have both found it quite good so we will continue. It’s nice and light weight and fits well in your hand with the roller having tiny little needles that are very gentle when you roll it over your face and neck. I found the instructions on the box easy to follow and I used the roller in all directions on my head abs neck. Using it every second night I did find I had a little bit of redness and I could really feel my serum soaking in so will have to get some more serum. I have noticed some of my fine lines seem even finer if that’s possible lol I think it will continue to use it and I believe you can buy replacement heads so I think it would be a good tool to have.

I was nervous to use this product thinking it might hurt my skin. In actual fact it was not hurtful at all. I found the product easy to use and followed instructions carefully. By using it 3x a week I noticed a great change in my skin appearance. My skin was not so red as normal and it made my skin seem brighter over the period of using it. I did struggle to use it under my eyes, but working it on my cheeks and forehead was super simple and did have great results. I did it at night time after I cleansed my skin. So I would feel a tingle in my skin about 10 mins after use and this is when it must have been doing its thing!!! Brilliant product for me, will use all the time. Didn't take much time out of my day either, very quick process.

So this strange looking needle roller might actually be the secret to great looking skin!

I've been using this for about 3 weeks and I think my skin has improved quite a lot in that time.

It doesn't hurt to uses it, in fact the rolling doesnt really feel like anything much at all. Afterwards there is a definite 'feeling' - its not a sting, not a tingle, just a sensation that something has been stimulated.

I've been using this in bed, and immediately slathering my night serum on -I really think it's boosted the serums effects and I feel like my skin is smoother and brighter, and a lot more even in tone.

I'll continue using this happily and likely repurchase in 3 months!

540 needles. That's what I find so unbelievable. On this little facial roller are 540 spikey points. It would be a barbaric beauty treatment if it wasn't so effective!

I was a bit apprehensive about using it for the first time and followed the instructions to do just one roll in each direction and to build up over time. As it was it kind of felt pleasant, with no discomfort.

Definitely do this at night - it makes your face super red after use, but that's gone by morning so all good!

My skin looks and feels great and I don't think its the placebo effect either, I really feel a positive impact has been had. The areas of discolouration from pregnancy look less stark and the texture of my skin is very,very soft.

I think this is one of those hype products that actually do the job. Is it a miracle product? Nope. But it does work!
