Shark - FacialPro Glow At Home Hydro-Powered Facial System - Lilac

I love everything about this Shark FacialPro. The ergonomic design, the adjustable settings and attachment options for the exfoliation tool, the temperature levels and control of the DePuffi tool, and the included hard-shell storage case. I’m normally not too happy about having to provide a review for a product that I’ve only had a chance to try out for a week or less, but this is definitely an exception. I noticed results immediately after my first use of the exfoliation tool in completing the “weekly pro glow routine”. My face felt noticeably smoother and looked refreshed, and the immediate results made me excited to keep using the Shark FacialPro. The included instructions are very concise and easy to follow, making it very easy to use. I have dry skin that tends to redden easily, so I selected to start off with the gentle tips for the exfoliate & extract cycle and then switched to the normal tips for the hydro infuse cycle. For both cycles I started with the lowest intensity setting and ended up using the highest intensity setting for a majority of the time. I chose to use distilled water for the exfoliation & extract cycle because my water at home is hard. (Also, since trying to remove impurities from the skin, it made the most sense to me to use distilled.) The included serums seemed to be very good and I had no complaints or unfavorable reactions to either one. The Derm Detox gel works really well with zero discomfort, and the Hydro Infuse hydrator actually feels moisturizing. After completing the pro glow routine my face had very minor redness that quickly faded. I did not experience any small broken blood vessels from the suction or any skin purging afterwards. The gunk tank after completing the pro glow routine was a tad bit cloudy with some floaties. I applied my normal moisturizer afterwards and could feel that my skin felt noticeably smoother. The DePuffi tool is also very easy to use, and I completed the pro glow routine with an instachill session. This helped any remaining redness clear up. The coldest setting is comfortable and each level has a noticeable difference. I also used the DePuffi tool for an instaheat session and its highest setting was very comfortable with noticeable differences between each level as well. I love that the DePuffi tool is sculpted to fit the curvature of one’s face and allows for better coverage when using. Overall I have been very happy with the results from the Shark FacialPro and think it would be an excellent addition to anyone’s skincare tools.

I have never gotten a facial before, but now I don't need to go anywhere to get one because this works beautifully. I read everything through first, then set up and followed the instructions step by step, which were simple and easy to follow for someone new to this process. The device came boxed up very nicely with pictures of the different steps and what comes in the box. The detox and infuse skincare is included. The little tips are included, along with a self-cleaning tip. All of these items fit nicely inside your little storage case. A cleaning brush/charger wire is also included. The best thing about the charging cable is that it's USB-C, so it is compatible with most of your other devices. You don't have to worry about finding this specific plug if anything happens to it, but it has a little area to store your charging wire and cleaning brush. The Instaheat felt oddly good, having something smooth and hot massaged onto my face. Then I started the exfoliating process using the gentle tips as directed. I was very curious about how the little suctioning would feel, and it wasn't bad at all. It did leave my cheeks a little flushed, but not very noticeable. After exfoliating, I rinsed my face and started the hydro infuse using the gentle tips. The last step was using Instachill, which left your face feeling refreshed. I use InstaChill to massage my face every morning after cleansing and moisturizing, and it feels terrific. The device gets so cold, but it's not uncomfortable. It feels great on your face as you smooth through the areas as directed. I have only had one weekly treatment, and I already feel a bit of a difference. I use the Instachill daily, but I think I will also incorporate a time to use the Instaheat. As a side note, you can adjust the cool/heat setting to low, medium, or high. Those same settings can also be used to change the exfoliation intensity.

It’ll be a couple months before I see real results from this device but so far the experience has been a good one for me. I’ve been in the beauty and skincare industry for over 15 years, but moved heavily into the skincare side for over 7. I don’t have sensitive skin so I tried this on its regular cycles. You must have some knowledge on what skincare products you use on a daily or at least what products you used on the days of using this device. The liquids that are provided do contain some acids that may not mix well with other acids or products containing acids that you may have applied earlier in the day or even after you are done with your session. So be mindful if you are sensitive, as you may cause slight skin irritation or acid burns if not careful. The device wouldn’t be the cause for discomfort, but the products could be if not paying attention. The instructions are straight forward. The device just seems to be a gentle vacuum with the thought of gently removing any buildup or gunk that may be present during the time of use. It also has a heating and cooling part. So I can see the appeal here. I would begin with applying heat to my skin to open up my pores. I enjoyed using this part of the device before and after my sessions as I would then end the full routine with the cooling portion after applying my moisturizers to tighten my pores. For me, after every use it just seemed to remove sebum from my skin but I didn’t have any other nasty things removed from my skin. It’s simple to clean just run some water in the intake side and run a clean cycle with the cleaning cap and it’ll cycle the water through. Clean with supplied brush. Let air dry and you’re done. It comes with its own storage case which is nice. It runs on 3 minute cycles. So here is where the improvement could be made. The device should indicate when it has reached the 2 minute mark so you are aware of when it’s time to change to the T-zone nozzle. I had to set a manual timer and even that wouldn’t give me enough time to pause and switch out the nozzle as it took up several seconds just to pause it. There are no instructions to tell you that you can press the button to pause it and not have to start a whole cycle over just to complete the one minute with the T-zone nozzle. The water tank is too small. I felt rushed using this device. I would have to refill the tank with water for a second time during the first session just to get through with the other side of my face. This is a skincare device, it should be relaxing and paced. I would speed through the second session like I was qualifying for the Olympics, because you use the liquid supplied (taller bottle) and that bottle isn’t big enough to last for a long time. So I refused to have to refill it. And that’s where they get you. You’ll have to replace this bottle frequently if used on a regular basis. Other than that it’s a neat device. Again, I can’t speak to any changes in my skin as it’s a device I would need to use for the next few months to report any positive or negative results on my skin in particular, but these are my initial thoughts and experiences on the matter.

I was so anxious for the arrival of the Shark FACIALPRO Glow. As soon as it arrived I plugged it up to charge the battery. It took about 2 hours to fully charge. Then I tried it out. Keep in mind I have never had a facial in my life so this was new to me. I opened the package and found a lot more manuals and QR codes than I expected. They were packed with information. I read the directions and messed up. OH MY. I should have read all the directions and viewed all the amazing videos but I was just too anxious. It won't happen again! I learned from my mistake. It is so simple to use IF only I had read ALL the material and viewed the videos. Don't make my mistake. Spent time with those videos because they are invaluable. The second night I was ready to use the facial system correctly. I started with cleaning my face the way I normally do. I loved how each step made my face feel cleaner and softer. The INSTAHEAT got my skin ready for cleaning the pore extraction and helps boost radiance. That heat felt so good on my skin. Ready for the next step I used the DETOX (included in kit) for exfoliation of clean pores and it removes impurities. Then I was ready for the HYDRATION by using Hyaluronic Acid (HA) which is also included in the kit. It helps infuse skin with moisture. Now it is time for the INSTACHILL. which helps contour the face and depute under eyes. Oh it feels so good. I started with a clean face. After that everything that I needed was in the kit. It comes with a bottle of DETOX and a bottle of INFUSE. They suggest that you only use this brand. I am liking it so well I will ordering another bottle of each so I do not run out. This kit comes with 4 tips 2 T-Zone and 2 Regular. One of each was for sensitive skin and the other of each was for normal skin. I started out with the sensitive skin tip. Then the next time I used the regular. I think I like the sensitive skin tips better. Everything comes in a hard shelled case with a band that goes around it. It is so easy to travel with or just to store in bathroom without taking a lot of room or getting the tips lost. After using the Shark FacialPro GLOW for 5 days it feels so comfortable to use it. I am no longer intimidated by it. I love how my skin feels and looks. It may sound strange but I like to look at the liquid and see how much impurities, dead skin and dirt I get off my face. I Love this thing. It does work. Both me and my husband use it. He loves it as well. I have added Photos of everything that is in the kit except the manuals.

I have to say, I never thought I'd be one of those girls to care about skin care as much as I have started to care over the past couple of years - I guess pushing 40 will do that to you! That being said, I definitely can't afford regularly scheduled facials, so I'm always looking for new products (and now devices) to keep my skin as clear and healthy as possible, and this one definitely is one of my new favorite things! For reference as you read my review I: - have combo dry/oily(ish) skin - have acne-prone skin - have acne scarring on my cheeks and chin - have sensitive skin - bruise easily - am turning 40 this year First up, the Depuffi attachment. I don't have much in the way of puffiness, so I didn't really see too much of a difference with the InstaHot/InstaCold attachment, but boy does it feel good! I imagine when I inevitably get sunburned this summer the InstaCold option will feel amazing on my skin. Even though I'm not really noticing a difference, I've been using it every morning and I feel like the cold helps shock me awake in the morning. I think using the InstaHot option has been more beneficial - my skin looks smoother, brighter, and calmer. I have been using this one at night before bed. Next, the once-a-week exfoliating attachment. I was worried about my skin not tolerating the Derm Detox (AHA + BHA gel) and Hydro Infuse (BHA hydration) combined with the suction, but I have to say, I have had zero bruising or redness (at least that lasted longer than the time that I'm actively using the device)! The first time I tried it, I intentionally used the sensitive tips, and while I feel like I got a decent amount out, when I tried it the second time and used the regular tips, I definitely got a better clean. The suction truly just feels like little kisses on your skin - no pain, no irritation, just clearer skin! Now for the (very few) issues I have with the device (that will not keep me from using or recommending it): - the charger is a USB-A to USB-C cord, which thank goodness I still use an older e-reading device that uses a USB-A brick, because otherwise ALL of the rest of my chargers are USB-C/USB-C and I would have had no way to plug it in to charge the device! - you can only use the Shark AHA/BHA products with the device, which totally makes sense, and I understand why, but the cost of the replacement Shark-exclusive products is going to be pretty cost-prohibitive for a lot of people. - the instructions for the Depuffi attachment said to use it after applying your favorite serum, moisturizer, etc. This might be a "me problem," but while I didn't really have an issue using after moisturizer, the serum I tried it with absorbs too quickly to be useful in helping the device slide across your skin
