Always BEAR-y excited to test out new skincare, and the @foreo Bear definitely does not disappoint. The Bear is designed as a micro current facial toning device that can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. Personally, I don’t have these issues, but it’s always great to start preventative skincare early. Here are some of my tips: Use both the facial workouts and the freehand option (where you can control the T-sonic and micro current intensities) Be careful about upping the micro current intensities because you can feel the electric current when it’s higher! It’s been over a month, and I find that level 4 still works perfectly fine for me. Make sure to use plenty of serum so you don’t feel the microcurrents (really not the most pleasant ... MoreAlways BEAR-y excited to test out new skincare, and the @foreo Bear definitely does not disappoint.

Make sure to use plenty of serum so you don’t feel the microcurrents (really not the most pleasant feeling but this device is designed to prevent electrocuting yourself lol) Make sure to clean it everytime you use it! You don’t want dead skin cells or nasty leftover serum residue causing a breakout 😭 The battery lasts forever so you actually don’t need to charge it regularly! I’ve read that this device can easily last one year per charge Overall, I’ve had a lot of fun incorporating this device into my skincare routine, and it definitely helps with decreasing facial swelling, especially when you use it regularly. Thank you @foreo and @influenster for such a lovely gift- it is definitely worth the hype (and $300+ price tag), so definitely make sure to check it out if you’re looking for a gift for a loved one or yourself! #foreoXInfluenster #complimentary

I have only been using this product for a few months. So while I cannot speak to its long term effects, I do have a good grasp on the short term. First do note that this product cannot be used on its own. Before use apply a water based serum (no oils can be in the ingredients or it will block the conductivity), aloe vera gel, or my personal favorite being a conductor gel like the nuface one (which I used for the duration of this period). Once this is done you may begin use. There are two options, using the app, or freestyle by simply turning on the device. Both have their pros and cons. I like the app as it keeps the device on for the duration of the workout (and automatically changes the power level), whereas freestyle mode turns off the device the minute you lift ... MoreI have only been using this product for a few months.

Once this is done you may begin use. There are two options, using the app, or freestyle by simply turning on the device. Both have their pros and cons. I like the app as it keeps the device on for the duration of the workout (and automatically changes the power level), whereas freestyle mode turns off the device the minute you lift it from your skin (and makes you manually choose power level for each section of your face). I found this to be very annoying, as I like doing one pass and repeating by lifting and going back to the start, rather than just going back and forth without lifting. Alternatively, the app has its downfalls as most workouts are only a few minutes long including applying serum. This isn't a large problem though, as the device itself is very powerful and works quickly. Regardless of this, the product itself works like a dream, and I found myself looking forward to doing my nightly ritual every day because of it. As for results, I noticed my serum absorbed much faster due to my use of the Bear. I feel it also helped the product go deeper, as my face was much more hydrated than before despite it being the middle of winter. Next, I noticed my smile lines slowly become less prominent. They are still there, but with continued daily use I can see the anti aging appeal. Especially as a preventative measure to keep wrinkles at bay. Finally, I noticed my eyebrows were more symmetrical as using the Bear to help with lifting my uneven brows actually worked. Bottom line, yes this is expensive. Theres a large startup cost and maintenance ones as well, but in the long run the money you save from going to a professional for microcurrent treatments far outweighs the costs. The results are also definitely there, so if you have the money I'd absolutely recommend this product.

This device took a little bit of trial and error for me. I looked at some reviews prior to using it and the biggest complaints I saw were it not connecting to the app and the device not always working which you can tell by if the light in the middle of the device (which I attached a video showing how that works). So far the app has always worked for me which is a plus. It’s super easy to use, register the device, and start using. It includes little work outs, instructions, device care, and a start massage option to use without the guided work out. I originally started using it on the start massage option as I’ve used facial toning devices before and I wanted to go at my own pace. The app lets you choose your intensity of microcurrent and if you want the vibrations ... MoreThis device took a little bit of trial and error for me.

I originally started using it on the start massage option as I’ve used facial toning devices before and I wanted to go at my own pace. The app lets you choose your intensity of microcurrent and if you want the vibrations which was nice. At first I wasn’t even sure if it was working but as I was going up my cheekbone I could feel the microcurrent (I also had it on a 7…). This is what brought me back to esthetics school and I knew it was working. It says it has an anti shock device and while it wasn’t painful occasionally I could feel the tiniest little shock. I noticed though that the circle in the middle didn’t always disappear when it hit my skin so I’m assuming those times the current wasn’t going through the device which was frustrating. This happens maybe 75% of the time. Eventually I stopped using the app and I just used the device on its own which I like better. When using the app the machine vibrates the whole time while without the app it only vibrates when the inner circle is off and the microcurrent is going through it. This took the guess work out of it. If it was vibrating (which it’s a very subtle vibration. Much gentler than the cleansing devices) I knew the current was going through the machine. It’s very gentle on the face but afterwards you can slightly feel that your muscles had a “work out”. I also do see slight results immediately after use which makes me happy. I think it’s very, very pricy and not something I’d be willing to spend myself but I do think it’s a really cool piece of skincare technology that ties into my esthetics training

Foreo BEAR

Hmm, not sure about this one. The LUNA 3, ISSA and IRIS were fairly self explanatory, being a facial cleaner, a toothbrush and an eye massager and all exceeded my expectations.I was not sure what to expect with this device however and there is very little information about how it is supposed to feel when using it.I started at level 1 and experienced an unpleasant stinging like being brushed with nettles over the forehead and jawbone where there is little underlying tissue. I have persisted using varying amounts of Serum Serum Serum (which tended to dry out before the 2 minute cycles were completed) and also other water based gels. I tried increasing the intensities going from 4 to 7 and even up to 10. It seemed to make little difference as to whether any ... MoreHmm, not sure about this one.

Sometimes there is none at level 10, sometimes unpleasant stinging at level 7, sometimes on one side of the neck or jaw only.It is unclear whether the amount of water based gel makes any difference to this and there is no information about whether or not any stinging is supposed to occur during treatments.

Great but has a couple issues

I bought my Bear on Christmas Eve, received it about January 10th, and started using it right away. I messed up and started using it at level 10non the app and it made my eyebrows sag, so I watched a tutorial on YouTube where they didn't use the app, and just used it on level 5 by pressing the buttons. This is also where I learned for sure that my Bear's T-sonic pulsations are weak (my first hint was that my Bear Mini has a stronger pulse), and that it isn't holding a charge for very long. I only get 7-10 uses out of it before I need to charge it again. Nowhere near 90 uses.I have initiated the warranty claim and hopefully I can get one that works correctly.Otherwise, the Bear has done great things for my face!

My cheeks feel like they have been filled with Juvederm, my undereye hollows are filling in, my crow's feet are going away, my left smile line has vanished, and the wrinkles between my brows have softened. I would recommend this product to friends! My skin is so firm and and has a youthful glow. I looked in the mirror at the doctor's office last week and I was shocked. I didn't see a 41 year old woman. I looked how I did at 30, it was amazing! Thank you Foreo.

I love it!!

I've been wanting this for a long time and my MIL graciously got it for me for Christmas on sale-I love her :)The left side of my face had jowls starting to form. I couldn't hide it anymore with contouring and so I just kind of came to terms with the fact that I'm getting older and didn't think about it much. I had used this a couple of days, morning and night and hadn't worn makeup on those days. When I did go to do my makeup on the third day, I realized the loose skin that was creating jowls on one side of my face was totally gone!! And my jawline looked the way it looked ten years ago! It kind of looked like I was clenching my jaw, but it was just a sharper jawline and I had forgotten my jawline used to look like that. This device is crazy! Can't believe it did ... MoreI've been wanting this for a long time and my MIL graciously got it for me for Christmas on sale-I love her :)The left side of my face had jowls starting to form.

It kind of looked like I was clenching my jaw, but it was just a sharper jawline and I had forgotten my jawline used to look like that. This device is crazy! Can't believe it did THAT much after six uses.It's very subtle, and others might not notice it, but I see my face every day and I absolutely notice the difference and I almost can't believe it. I know it's expensive and it was cost prohibitive for me for a long time, but this is probably my favorite gift ever. I love it so much and will continue to use daily.Now, the downside. The serum is AWFUL. The first time I used it, I shocked the heck out of myself because the serum dried up too fast. Now I'm using it with Sacheu Thick Skin which is a lipid serum made for gua sha and two drops lasts for 3 treatments in a row (I've been doing all three treatments twice a day at an intensity of 6.) Aloe gel also seems to work but the Thick Skin serum lasts longer before it dries up.

I see great potential!!

Only used this lovely device a couple of times but I can already see a difference! The app connectivity is really easy however you will need proof of purchase and the date you brought it to register the device. Once connected you can download "workouts" and the on screen instructions will tell you what to do. Everything is connected via Bluetooth so make sure that is on before you do anything. I recommend doing the "workout" in the morning but I generally see the results around 15-30 mins afterwards. My most targeted areas are my forehead and jaw line and I can already see a difference. Looking forward to seeing the results in a months time. Also... you don't actually need the accompanying serum, I find it sticky and not very glidable which kinda defeats the object ... MoreOnly used this lovely device a couple of times but I can already see a difference!

Immediate results!!

I struggle with inflammation due to a health condition and have felt increasingly aware of my face being puffy and dark circles under my eyes every day. I'd tried lymphatic drainage massage, i drink 3 litres of water a day and eat healthily but nothing really made much of a difference until...... I tried the Bear once and saw immediate results! I honestly cannot believe it. I've now used it three days in a row and my husband has tried it too and we're both shocked. There is zero puffiness in my face and my dark circles are almost completely gone! Honestly, it's like looking at my face 3 years ago before my health deteriorated. I feel so much more confident in my skin, something i just didnt think could happen.In terms of the use of the product; the app is amazing ... MoreI struggle with inflammation due to a health condition and have felt increasingly aware of my face being puffy and dark circles under my eyes every day.

The microcurrent is something to get used to! I've kept the setting low because it's quite an intense feeling and am seeing great results even so.It's expensive and i'm not the sort of person to spend a lot on beauty products generally, but it works! I honestly can't say a single bad thing about it.

Scary and generally mixed feelings about it

I have big hopes about get helped by this gadget, but after 10 days of use I am not really sure. I used a Nuface device for a year so I am kind of a pro on using these devices. Nuface now died as doesn't keep the battery charge, and BEAR looked to me much more advanced, as a potential. But I admit I really can't use it up to the 5th level, the most I am up is 3 to 4 for my half face and down to neck but only up to 2 on my forehead, as feels truly like taking my skin of with this effect there (I don't know how to say it in English). No matter how much serum I use, no matter if I spray water over the serum or if I use a Hyaluronic serum together, it hasn't got to do with the skin hydration but with the device's strength. Which is not bad, that's what it has to do but ... MoreI have big hopes about get helped by this gadget, but after 10 days of use I am not really sure.

Which is not bad, that's what it has to do but for me is uncomfortable and scary and a pushback. Also, using it with the app looks hurried and frustrating. I prefer generally follow the times I used my old device, sliding neither too slow nor too fast (I feel trained by the bips, which is great - I really don't know how I could manage to use the foreo bear without that experience)

Want a face changer? This is a game changer

The FOREO Bear is literally a game changer ! At 48 I was aware my eyes had really begun to hood and my face was becoming rounder. I was also becoming more aware of fine lines which creams alone didn’t plump out.I had already fallen in love with the UFO and had seen positives so gave this a go.After 3 months usage my eyes are lifted a friend asked if I’d had an eye lift !! The fine lines are vastly reduced and my face looks contoured to the point people have said I look like I have lost weight as cheekbones and jaw line more defined.Using the device is really easy and literally only takes a couple of minutes a day. I find it relaxing as there are virtually no tingles make sure you use a conductive gel (except where my dental implant is but that is not painful just ... MoreThe FOREO Bear is literally a game changer !

I find it relaxing as there are virtually no tingles make sure you use a conductive gel (except where my dental implant is but that is not painful just a tingle ) I don’t always use the routine on the app, it’s great to use when you are getting used to it but after a few weeks I just do the manual version on the app.The Bear is easy to set up and the feel and look of the product is excellentThis is a considered product but if you have similar issues to mine I would recommend this productTo get results you do need to use regularly but at 90 seconds a go it’s super easy to fit into a daytime or night time routine. The fact that so many people have commented on the condition of my skin since starting using the Bear and UFO makes me realise how much impact they have had. Biggest compliment was my husband asking if I was wearing new foundation as my skin looks really good I literally stopped needing to wear it after using these products as my skin is glowing with fine lines and pores diminished.
