There are so many skincare products on the market, it’s hard to know what is worth your $$ and which ones you should skip.

These nine skincare tools deliver actual results and will be worth every precious penny.

Jillian Dempsey Gold Sculpting Bar

This 24 karat vibrating gold bar is a cult favorite among beauty buffs, including celebs like Jennifer Aniston. T-bars are designed to help define your cheekbones, sculpt your jawline and fight tech-neck lines. It’s literal skincare gold.

 

ReFa CARAT

I’ve been using my CARAT facial roller for a couple years now, and I still giggle every time. Yes, it’s a very phallic shape, but it’s a pretty magical tool. The CARAT delivers indoor, solar-derived energy as gentle microcurrents to boost circulation, enhance firmness and improve tone. And because it requires zero maintenance or any part replacement, this device should last for a long time. 

 

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare SpectraLite FaceWare Pro

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always wanted to look like Iron Man while going through my skincare routine. Jokes aside, this FDA-cleared device reduces the appearance of wrinkles and acne. It uses a whopping 162 LED lights (both red and blue) to destroy acne-causing bacteria and boost collagen production.

 

FOREO LUNA 3 Facial Cleansing & Firming Massage Device

Your face will never be as clean as it is after you use this super soft skincare device. It uses T-Sonic pulsations to give you the deepest clean as it lifts away dirt, oil and dead skin cells and allow better absorption of your favorite skincare products. It even has a variety of app-guided massage routines to diminish signs of aging. 

 

LightStim for Acne

If you have mild or moderate acne, this noninvasive light therapy device is a game changer. In three-minute sessions, LightStim uses blue and red UV-free lights to calm and heal existing blemishes, and reduces future breakouts by eliminating acne-causing bacteria.

 

BeautyBio Cryo Dual Roller

Puffy eyes begone! This icy roller chills skin to the critical 45 F temperature known to help increase microcirculation and collagen production and flush out toxins. Pores are constricted for a tighter appearance, and it naturally helps extract impurities while slowing oil production. 

 

ORA Electric Microneedle Derma Pen System

Microneedling at home can sound daunting, but this four-piece system makes it a breeze. With this pen, fine needles penetrate skin just enough to create small punctures that send your skin healing signals. This prompts the production of collagen and elastin to produce smoother, firmer, healthier skin. You can even use it on your scalp to stimulate hair growth! And it’s 100 percent pain-free.

 

FOREO UFO 2 Power Mask & Light Therapy Device

Step up your mask game with this innovative therapy device. When used in tandem with a face mask or sheet mask, the UFO 2 uses heating, cooling and T-Sonic™ pulsations to push mask essences deep below the skin’s surface, lock in moisture and reduce the appearance of pores. Each unique UFO-activated power mask routine (found on the app!) incorporates full-spectrum LED light therapy best suited to enhance the benefits of your mask’s ingredients.

 

QuasarMD Plus

Red light therapy is all the rage in the skincare world (Wendy agrees!) thanks to it’s ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. LED pulses along the red and infrared wavelengths to increase blood flow and circulation, develop more collagen and stimulate cell renewal.
