Manicare Salon Magnifying Pore Vacuum

Received my pore vacuum to test. Lovely purple and black unit with clear suction cups. Love the interchangable cups especially for the hard to reach placed along the nose. Downloaded the app but no matter what I try, phone data or wi-fi the app kept disconnecting. After trying everything I could think of to get the app to work I gave up and attempted the process without the help of the app. The few times I managed to actually see my skin on the app it was somewhat blurred and not an entirely clear picture. Not sure if its got something to do with my phone or the app.

Steamed my face before hand to open up the pores. Started on the lightest setting as I was warned the unit could bruise your skin if using too high a setting. Slowly glided the unit taking extra care not to stay in one spot for too long.

Lowest setting did clear a handful of pores but not as I was hoping. Changed to setting to a higher incriment and attempted again. This time a few more stubborn pores was removed but again not the bigger more stubborn ones. At this point I opted to wait a couple days before attempting again as I could see some parts turning red. Luckily I didn't have bruises the next day and I could see somewhat of a difference in the pores especially on the nose.

With repeated use I believe the unit us strong enough to give you a clearer skin. Will attempt again in a couple of days

I was very excited to receive the Manicare pore vacuum. My thoughts were to have a go on my son as well as myself. The packaging looked interesting with the girl colour of lavender. Very inviting. All the information was on the box so instructions weren’t on a sheet that you might loose. It seems quite comprehensive, how to download the site for the application to work. It’s very important to read the instructions correctly to to limit bruising on the face. The vacuum was easy to handle and fits my hand perfectly so ergonomic in that instance. After charging the vacuum I proceeded to try it on myself. The camera was great but a bit distracting as well. I was concentrating on the camera and managed to bruise my face slightly by not moving it smoothly and evenly over my face. Its suction levels were very strong, even the lowest was sucking my face into it. I swapped around nozzles to the small one to limit the suction, this did make a difference but with little results. I found it easier to use the mirror than the camera when operating on myself. I used it on my son, he didn’t enjoy it too much either. I did work well on his teenage face, and in his ears. It does state great for ear wax, it did unblock his ears and pull some wax out. I was surprised about the price point of $90 at my beauty department close to me. I was thinking it may have been a bit more expensive. If I had a choice of purchasing this or putting on a face mask. I’d choose the mask. It didn’t in my opinion work as well as claimed for the money. To get it to pull the blackheads out, then full vacuum would be necessary, which would be difficult to move over the skin. My son had the medium level on a moisturised warm skin and that was still difficult. It did pull quite a few out but was very uncomfortable for him. I do not recommend this product.

I have combination skin and suffer from very stubborn blackheads around my nose, along with visible pores in my T-zone area. I've been a user of pore strips in the past, along with various spa treatments, but I've never used anything like the Manicare Salon Magnifying Pore Vacuum before so I was excited to see what it could do. The vacuum itself has 3 suction level intensities – soft, normal and strong and it also comes with 4 different heads that can be interchanged – small circular, oval, large circular, and a microdermabrasion nozzle. I used all 4 of the nozzles and found them to be easy to interchange, and the availability of different suction intensities was great as I used different settings on my forehead and nose. The oval nozzle was my favourite attachment, as was the easiest to get in and around my nose where most of my blackheads are. The vacuum itself is charged with a USB charging cord, which easily plugged into my phone charger, and operating it was simple and easy with a push of the button to switch between intensities. I charged the device for the recommended 3 hours before my first use. There is also an app that can be downloaded and connected to the Manicare Salon Magnifying Pore Vacuum, with pretty good camera quality. The device doesn’t come with a storage bag or pouch – so I will continue to store it in the plastic tray it came with. My skin felt less congested after use, and there was visible ‘gunk’ in the nozzle too, which was really pleasing to see. I made sure I had clean and hydrated skin before use and believe this gave me better results, and I was also conscious of keeping the device moving rather than stay in one spot for too long and risk pink or bruised skin. This is an easy-to-use compact device designed for anyone wanting to minimise the appearance of blackheads, and while it is a fun to use and does give some results, it didn’t remove all my stubborn nose blackheads. I will continue to use the Manicare Salon Magnifying Pore Vacuum, and hope I continue to see improvements in my skin.

This actually works! I really loved this and will 100% continue to use it. It was super easy to get started and use after charging. Would definitely recommend using the app it’s so interesting to see actually how congested you are. I couldn’t get the app to work on my iPhone for some reason but I grabbed my partners Samsung and it worked perfectly. I prefer to use the oval head I feel like it worked better for me to unclog. The microdermabrasion head is also great, just the exfoliating head left my nose super smooth. This has left my nose so smooth and I even got my partner using it which is unheard of! Would recommend this so much more than any blackhead strip I’ve ever used.

I was really excited to try this magnifying pore vacuum. I have combination skin and in the right (or wrong!) light I can see small blackheads have started showing on my cheeks. The Pore vacuum came in a box with a charger, spare rubber bits to hold the nozzles, and 3 different nozzles for different skin areas, and 1 for microdermabrasion. There were no instructions inside, just a quick start guide and tips on the box along with how to download the app. The Manicare Pore vacuum is really easy to set up and the app has step-by-step instructions on how to use it. At first, the suction doesn't seem very powerful but if you leave it too long in one spot you can see the skin turning red and small capillaries appearing. I used the gentlest nozzle and the lowest setting on my face. A small amount of debris came out especially around my nose but I wouldn't say it cleared my pores on the rest of my face and definitely did not budge any blackheads. I tried the other nozzles and tried turning up the suction but was afraid of damaging my skin. The magnification is amazing, however, and when I tried the pore vacuum on my back with the oval nozzle (for stubborn blackheads) and the highest suction I was able to remove some hard-to-reach blackheads. The camera and magnification let you see every imperfection. I could use the higher suction on my back because the skin is less delicate and it doesn't matter if it's red for a few days. I think this product would be better suited to teen skin or more congested skin than mine. I am in my 40s and have drier skin than in my 20s.

I must admit when I first got this item I wasn't expecting much. Usually theese devices over promise and under deliver on what they do, but boy was 8 pleasantly surprised!

The set up is super easy. Download the app while the device has its first charge. Simple. The QR code didnt send me to the app directly but if you type in the brand name into the app store it pops up first time. Once its charged you turn it on and connect via wifi and its connected. (That actually sounds alot harder than it is)

From then on its party time. A good hot shower or steam realy loosens up blockages and the camera is so clear once its turned on. I honestly thought there wasn't much in my skin but I was dead wrong and it was super satisfying watching all the blockages burst out of where they were hiding.

The suction is soo good. And very strong! Make sure you keep moving so you dont accidentally give yourself a little bruise. All the attachment heads worked well but my favorite by far was the oval one. That and a low suction setting turned out to be my favorite combination!

This thing actually works! And the app allows you to record what's happening if you want to have a look later on or your an up and coming pimple popping youtube creator!

Clean up is also super easy. I just cleaned of debris with a tissue and cotton swabs and spirits with isopropyl.

I am so amazed and happy with this product and I have already raved about it to so many people!!! Complete 10/10 for me.

I have used the Manicare Salon Magnifying Pore Vacuum a couple of times over the past week and have been pleasantly surprised with the results. It was easy to download the app onto my Samsung through the play store and then log in via wifi settings. I had a quick look on the website for tips before using and made sure I had opened my pores by having a shower the first time and then a steam basin the second. The camera enables you to see where any blackheads or clogged pores are and you can see the blockages literally sucked from them! I had about a 4 day gap between using it and the difference the second time was noticeable with not as many blockages. There are 3 suction settings, I started with the lowest when I first tried it to get used to it, then moved to the strongest suction as I got used to it. My teenage daughter also used (with my supervision) and she was impressed as well. My skin was noticeably smoother as well after using the microdermabrasion tool, there are different sized nozzles depending on where you want to use it on your face. The smaller oval one was great for small areas around the nose, lips.

Pros: Looks sleek & modern Excellent camera 4 different tips Battery lasts ages

Cons: Handle is slick, making it easy to drop Uses/has it's own wifi (should be Bluetooth) Pulls gunk up but not necessarily OUT

Careful with this device. It can be addictive just looking at the 'icky-ness' of your skin as you don't have to have the suction going. That being said, I highly recommend avoiding the strong suction as 2 friends used it at that setting and they both ended up with redness that didn't go away for 2 days. Best used after a shower with freshly cleaned skin. Don't linger, always keep the device moving while suction is on. Keep in mind the vacuum may not necessarily pull out all gunk, in that case do NOT go over the gunk again and again - just pull it out carefully with a pair of tweezers.

I was so thrilled so be picked to trial and review the manicare pore vacuum!. The HD camera was incredible, and being able to see your skin up close like that while using a tool like this was fantastic. I have teenage sons whom also gave the pore vacuum a go and it quickly and efficiently dealt with spots- my only recommendation however would be the inclusion of a cleansing brush for easily cleaning the attachments after each use. My favorite attachment was the microdermabrasion tool- the areas around my t zone are looking much clearer and feeling smoother. I have have noticed a significant difference in the pores on and around my nose- this tool has now become part of my weekly skin routine, however for my boys- they've each downloaded the app and have grabbed it a couple of times already to deal with spots!!
