FOREO BEAR Smart Microcurrent Facial Toning Device is an easy to use ergonomic facial toning device that is as effective as it is fun to use. It comes in two sizes, the full size BEAR ($299.00) and the BEAR Mini ($199.00), and I think that the FOREO BEAR is the perfect size for regular use. The FOREO has more settings and features than the Mini, but if you travel a lot and want to save some money, the the Mini might be the best choice for you.
Microcurrent devices are heralded for their ability to tone, firm and lift aging skin and muscles. They also stimulate the muscles, hence this is why you often hear people state that they are like a visit to the gym for the face. However, these types of devices do not offer permanent results, therefore in order to maintain the effects one must continue to use the device.
The FOREO BEAR transmits a microcurrent directly to the skin, through a conducting gel, or the FOREO Serum Serum Serum, and microcurrent devices should never be used on bare skin. Furthermore, one should always use a conducting gel or serum specifically made for this purpose. Often touted as an at-home face lift, microcurrent devices make the skin look and feel refreshed, rejuvenated and more youthful. FOREO BEAR has T-Sonic Pulses that help to improve circulation, which in turn helps to eliminate toxins. After use skin looks smoother, softer, lifted, luminous and more youthful.
FOREO BEAR can be used once a day (AM or PM), but I only use it a couple of times a week for a few minutes. I do not have many fine lines, but the few that I do have become far less visible when I use this device. I only use it on my face, and avoid using it on my neck, but my skin looks smoother, my fine lines are visibly diminished and my skin is lightly plumped and decidedly radiant. Overall, this is one seriously effective device!
When you first unpack your FOREO BEAR, you will need to download the FOREO App on your phone to register and unlock your device, and then you will need to charge it. It is very easy to do, and registering only takes a few minutes. Additionally, you activate your 2 year warranty when you register your device.
If you have any health conditions, and are wondering whether or not a device of this sort is safe for you, then you should check with your doctor before making this purchase.

FOREO BEAR vs. NuFace Trinity:
The FOREO BEAR is substantially smaller than the NuFace Trinity, and its silicone construction coupled with its size makes it very user friendly, comfortable in the hand and easy to handle. FOREO also has their proprietary Anti-ShockSystem™ to eliminate the chance of getting shocked. Both devices have have 5 micro-intensity levels, and FOREO suggests that you use their device for 3 minutes, whereas NuFace suggests 5 minutes of use. FOREO offers a generous 2 year warranty, whereas NuFace offers a 1 year warranty. One of the chief differences is that the NuFace Trinity has a detachable head and different targeted attachments that can be purchase separately, whereas FOREO BEAR does not. FOREO BEAR has a frequency of 185 Hz, whereas the NuFace Trinity has a frequency of 50/60Hz. FOREO BEAR costs $299.00 and the NuFace Trinity costs $325.00. If you already have a NuFace Trinity the works perfectly, then there is no need to purchase the FOREO BEAR, but if you are in the market for a new microcurrent toning device, then the FOREO BEAR is definitely worthy of your consideration.
FOREO SERUM SERUM SERUM is a conductive Micro-Capsule Serum that can be used with any microcurrent device. This nourishing serum has no scent, and it works very well as a stand alone hydrating serum, or as a microcurrent conducting gel.
According to FOREO,
Our hydrating SERUM SERUM SERUM safely transfers microcurrent* from BEAR to your skin. For optimal conductivity, apply a thin layer before using BEAR or BEAR mini & massage until fully absorbed.
SERUM SERUM SERUM may be used with any microcurrent device. NEVER use BEAR or any microcurrent device without a conductive serum, gel or cream.
Our micro-capsule infused formula ensures maximum penetration of youth-preserving antioxidants down where they can nourish your skin best.
Micro-capsules make sure that all the skin-smoothing squalane in our formula sinks in deeper, works better and stays locked beneath your skin longer.
SKINCARE BENEFITS

- Hyaluronic-acid based formula locks in moisture to give you softer, smoother and super-hydrated skin

Directions:
1. Start by making sure that your skin is clean and dry.
2. Massage 1-2 pumps of serum onto your face, neck & décolleté using circular motions.
3. To get the most out of your serum, keep massaging the micro-capsules until they’re fully absorbed into your skin.
