GLAMOUR Tries: We tested FaceGym’s Faceshot Electrical Microneedling Device that’s said to completely transform skin from the comfort of your own home

There’s no better pastime than testing out the coolest new skincare/makeup/hair trends and snazzy innovations in beauty tech from the comfort of your own home. That said, there’s nothing more frustrating than spending upwards of £100 on a new at-home facial system or snazzy pair of hair straighteners, only to find out they don’t *actually* work.

Enter GLAMOUR Tries: the weekly Instagram series which sees GLAMOUR editors do all of the time-consuming (and expensive) work for you.

Yep, we’ve been busy trying out all of the wacky and wonderful beauty crazes to take the internet (read: TikTok) by storm – from Dyson’s Supersonic Flyaway Attachment (the smoothing hair tool of dreams) to Isle Of Paradise’s Pro-Glow Spray Tan Mister and Larry King Hair Care’s Flyaway With Me Kit. These are the products every influencer/Gen-Z beauty slueth/beauty editor is talking about on the internet – but that you want to be sure about before parting with your money.

Thanks to GLAMOUR Tries, you won’t need to waste your hard-earned pennies on testing these innovations yourself. We’re getting in their first, giving you the lowdown and making sure you invest in products that genuinely work. Like what you see? You can shop all of the products seen on GLAMOUR tries in previous weeks down below. Race ya?

On GLAMOUR Tries this week, Beauty Editor Lottie Winter tested FaceGym’s Faceshot Electrical Microneedling Device. Developed with medical-grade stainless-steel microneedles, the device creates active pathways for the AHA to penetrate deeply into the skin and make way for the likes of skin renewal, repair and boosted cell turnover.

“So this device uses the medical-grade stainless-steel microneedles to create tiny little channels deep down in the skin to deliver the complex, which is meant to give you all the glow and exfoliation, but, yeah, I’m a bit scared of the needles.” Lottie explains.
