SugarBaby Glow Your Own Way Micro-Needle Facial Roller

A Beauty Vault purchase, I was super intruiged to try a microneedle home option. This SugarBaby roller seemed like a good starting point, and I am so glad I got it! It comes in a White & Pink box which has good info, inside is a hard plastic case to keep the roller in. The tool itself seems quite cheap looking, and is about the size of a personal razor. The instructions are very clear about use in regards to how often, way to do it, cleaning skin and ensuring the micro needle roller is cared for to avoid infecting your own skin. First time I used it was a night, I trialed just one side of my face, the back of one hand, and my decollatage. skin went a pink and felt quite hot on my face and chest, but not uncomfortably so. The needling itself, a little prickly, but didn't really bother me. Popped an overnight collagen mask on that I'd been using awhile, and went to bed. The next day I had to double take in the mirror. The side of the face I had treated looked so different! Plump, smoother, more alive somehow, fresher. I actually thought this was how I'd look if I was airbrushed. While results only lasted a couple of days, after using 2-3 x a week for a month, I am starting to see longer term improvements. Skin seems to repair more easily, no longer looks so tired, the crinkly look of my sun-damaged decollatage has gone, plus I've noticed small patches on the backs of my hands have started to look smoother again. While it isn't reversing age and sun damage, it is improving the texture, vitality and appearance of my skin. A great tool that I'll continue to use until I need to upgrade to another.

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.

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.

First up packaging doesn’t really appeal, pink and silver which looks a little old fashioned. Don’t know what you are buying from the front of box. Gadget is similar size to a large ladies razor, plastic silver handle. Quite cheap looking. Instructions only on outside of box, no pamphlet inside. Using gadget it feels like prickly heat or mild goosebumps. Works like a spiked roller aerating a lawn. After 8 days my face feels hot from the inside, but not hot to touch. It feels softer but prob from the extra cleansing and moisturising as recommended. So far I find little to make me want to use this gadget long term.

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 was selected through beauty review to give this little boss a try! I will say at first I was a bit scared, I’ve never used anything like it and thought surely it would be a little bit painful? Then I thought.. No pain .. No gain! Boy was I wrong it doesn’t hurt at all! It definitely feels a bit tingly after but not sore! I cleanse my face then applied a night time moisturiser on! I did it every 2nd or 3rd night. In the morning my skin felt amazing and looked smooth still. I’ve noticed my acne scars are also not as dark strangely enough! I’d highly recommend trying this, I can’t wait to see what the results are the longer I do it.

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.

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 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.

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
