This really does work!
I waited several months so I could really get to use this regularly and see how it worked for me. Before I purchased I had a lot of questions so I’m going to attempt to answer some of those in this review. For me this was a big purchase $ wise so I wanted to really be sure it’s worth it. I can definitely say it is!!!
My main concern and purpose in purchasing this was for under eye circles. I’ve always had them, but for some reason they’re starting to bug me. I’m 33 and figure it’s probably time to start doing something with my skin to help counteract the effects of again. I first heard about this product on an ad from my fave podcast (morbid. If you’re into true crime you will love it the girls are my fave fave fave!). The price point felt a bit steep to me but I figured I could always return if I wasn’t satisfied. You can be the judge based on my included pics, but I definitely see a difference in under eye darkness and wrinkles. I took some pics along the way at regular intervals and I really can say I think it’s made a difference. Obviously nothing can produce miracles and eliminate every trace of under eye darkness, but in my opinion there really is a significant difference.
As far as other skin issues, I can’t say I noticed a huge difference. I still have some areas of irritation and redness when the weather is cold or dry, this didn’t seem to do much for me in that regard. I do see some changes in smile lines too but again, my main focus and thing I’m most concerned with was under eye area.
As far as use goes, I use my normal skincare routine (I did not purchase the solawave serum) and then use this directly after. I don’t use anything fancy, just plain cetaphil or cerave moisturizer because my skin can be quite sensitive. Then I go over my entire face and neck with the solawave. I try and do this daily in the morning but I do miss a day here and there. It takes me roughly 5 minutes so it’s not a big deal. I’m in the habit now of just having some coffee and watching a few minutes of news while I do this during my normal routine. It really does feel super relaxing and soothing. The vibrations are minimal but just feel good, it’s hard to describe but it really is nice. It does have a nice warming sensation too. It feels like a few minutes or relaxation and me time before work. I really look forward to this part of my morning.
Charging wise, this lasts forever. I’ve only charged I believe two or three times in almost four months of having it. That’s really great to me because we are all busy and it sucks to be wanting to use something and be disappointed by a dead battery.
I really can’t think of any negatives or cons with this product. My hubby says it’s an expensive “warm stick” because you know, men, but I don’t care! He jokes with me because he sees me using it all the time and knows how much I love it. I did attempt to use this on him and it won’t operate. So it really is true you have to have a moisturizer or serum on your skin for it to operate. From my face directly to his it just stops because he doesn’t have any product. So if you run into it not turning on just remember you need product. It doesn’t have any on or off switch, you just light put it against your skin to activate.
Seriously, I was on the fence about buying this but I can’t recommend enough. This is a really nice treat to yourself and you will see differences!
