I'm skeptical of "gadgets" that claim to do this or that in terms of beauty but I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised by this one. I've taken off one star because it is difficult to get to know how to use it but once you figure it out it's wonderful. My skin is noticeably smoother and clearer and I use this twice a week, directly after a shower to make sure my pores are open. A wet face is a MUST. It's pricey but I'm really happy I have this.
