Alice Tries 6 Leading Brands &#038; Gives Her Verdict"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">The trend for microneedling at home shows no signs of going away and for those of you who&#8217;ve been curious to try it but haven&#8217;t been able to face the needles in <span style=\"caret-color: #00a4ad;\">clinic<\/span> just yet, there&#8217;s now a bunch of kits and devices &#8216;inspired by microneedling&#8217; for at-home use too. And when L&#8217;Oreal picks up on the trend (here with its Lancome Renergie device), you know it&#8217;s here to stay. Alice put six leading brands to the test. Here&#8217;s her verdict&#8230;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">Firstly, a quick recap: what are at-home microneedling devices?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"128\" data-end=\"588\">At-home <a href=\"https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/tweakments\/microneedling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">microneedling<\/a> is essentially the do-it-yourelf cousin of the in-clinic treatment. Instead of a practitioner wielding the kit, it\u2019s you, your bathroom mirror and a small gadget studded with teeny-tiny needles. The idea is that these create very small, controlled micro-pricks in the skin, which sounds intense, but is designed to wake your skin up and kickstart its natural repair process.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"590\" data-end=\"834\">As your skin recovers, it can start producing more collagen and elastin, which is why people use microneedling to help with glow, texture, fine lines and even making their skincare work a bit harder (as products tend to sink in better afterwards).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"1411\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Because this is something you\u2019re doing at home, the needles are much shorter than those used in clinic. That&#8217;s hopefully reassuring, but also means your expectations should be realistic. Think of it as a skin maintenance rather than a full-on resurfacing moment (that\u2019s definitely one for the professionals).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"1411\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">So what&#8217;s Alice&#8217;s verdict on whether it really works at home? It depends a little on the device you choose (more on that below!), but when used gently and hygienically, at-home microneedling really can be a helpful little boost to your routine. Just remember, go too hard, skip the cleaning step or get a bit over-enthusiastic, and you risk irritation, sensitivity and general barrier disruption \u2014 and nobody wants that.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">TRIED AND TESTED AT-HOME MICRONEEDLING<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">1. <a href=\"https:\/\/vitavitaebeauty.co.uk\/micro-needling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vita Vitae Micro-Needling System<\/a>, \u00a3142<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-83917\" src=\"https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling-670x670.jpg\" alt=\"At Home Microneedling\" width=\"670\" height=\"670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling-670x670.jpg 670w, https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">What&#8217;s in the set?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This needling device has 20 gold-plated microneedles, 0.5mm long, and two syringes of serum &#8211; one a HA Glowing and Plumping Booster, and one an HA Lifting and Rejuvenating Booster, both with peptides, <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/tweakments\/exosomes\/\"   title=\"exosomes\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"512\">exosomes<\/a> and polynucleotides, so lots of goodies instead.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">How do you use it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You inject the serum into the vial of the stumpy little microneedling device, screw on the top and let it stand upside down for a couple of minutes so the serum finds its way through to the needles. Start with a clean dry face and wipe over or spritz it with a hypochlorus solution (eg Clinisept) and let this dry. Then, starting from the centre of your forehead, take a deep breath and press it into the skin. Work outwards in rows until you&#8217;ve covered the whole area, then do your cheeks, and carry on until you&#8217;ve covered the whole face and used up all the serum.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">What does it feel like?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prickly by not painful. You&#8217;ll feel the tiny needles piercing the skin, and releasing the serum at the same time, but honestly it&#8217;s not bad. Well. They don&#8217;t advise using it on your lips, but I tried, just to see what it was like. (It hurt. Maybe avoid).<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">Will it work?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It will definitely do something &#8211; the microneedling alone has benefits as the skin repairs itself, and the micro-punctures mean the serums are much better absorbed &#8211; 100x better, says the brand &#8211; than if you just put them on top of the skin. And they&#8217;re nicely formulated serums, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">Alice&#8217;s verdict<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It sounds madly masochistic to say so, but this is satisfyingly spiky to use. So if you&#8217;re up for stabbing your skin in the name of beautification, you too may enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vitavitaebeauty.co.uk\/micro-needling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">SHOP NOW<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">2. <a href=\"https:\/\/celf.beauty\/products\/celf-dermal-treatment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Celf Microvibration Therapy<\/a>, \u00a339 for a 3-month supply of serum and treatment head<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-83918\" src=\"https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling-2-670x670.jpg\" alt=\"At Home Microneedling 2\" width=\"670\" height=\"670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling-2-670x670.jpg 670w, https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling-2-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">What&#8217;s in the set?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A neat little treatment head with silicone &#8216;bristles&#8217; that pops onto an Oral-B iO toothbrush, turning it into a skincare tool. (Although be warned, you do actually need to buy or already own an Oral-B iO to use it).<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">How do you use it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You put a few drops of the Celf Glide serum (which contains hydrating hyaluronic acid and soothing aloe vera) onto a clean face then switch on the toothbrush and glide the treatment head <em>very gently\u00a0<\/em>in circles to cover the cheeks and forehead, which takes around two minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">What does it feel like?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The bristles don&#8217;t actually penetrate the skin surface but they do stir it up a bit and the microvibrations mean the serum gets absorbed much more deeply than usual. It&#8217;s not as uncomfortable as it sounds, though if like me you ad-lib and start using it on the receding hairline at your temples (I use the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/brands\/calecim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Calecim hair system serum<\/a> for that bit) it feels very intense and prickly.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">Will it work?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes! The brand has independent clinical trials and many enthusiastic user-reviews that talk of glowing, healthier, more radiant skin after a couple of months&#8217; use.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">Alice&#8217;s verdict<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love this too.

But, it is sold separately to the serum that it is designed to be used with, so don&#8217;t be caught out by that! You can purchase the Ren\u00e9rgie H.C.F Triple Serum for \u00a3105.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">How do you use it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Charge up the device, fix on one of the treatment heads, spread some serum on your skin and off you go. Each cartridge is topped with 484 tiny nano-tips, only 80 microns long, which create invisible channels on the skin&#8217;s surface so the serum can penetrate better.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">What does it feel like?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This feels really smooth as it buzzes and glides over the skin, so you get decent absorption of the product without damaging the skin barrier. I can believe the claim that there&#8217;s no downtime even for sensitive skin.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">Will it work?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Certainly! Those 80-micron nano-tips may be six times shorter than a 0.5mm needle, but they appear to be enough to get the serum into the skin. The brand&#8217;s testing shows impressive results &#8211; of up to 53% reduction in forehead wrinkles.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">Alice&#8217;s verdict<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I loved this (I&#8217;m as much of a sucker for a slick and glossy gadget as anyone) and I do think this would deliver results with consistent use (I&#8217;d be tempted to try it with other products, too, say peptide serums). But it&#8217;s an investment &#8211; and those treatment heads are single use &#8211; additional packs cost \u00a350 for six.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lancome.co.uk\/skincare\/by-range\/renergie\/renergie-nano-resurfacer-400-booster-refill-and-renergie-h.c.f.-triple-serum-set\/UKIE-01201-LAC.html?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">SHOP NOW<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shiseido.co.uk\/gb\/en\/shiseido-micro-click-concentrate-729238218369.html?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shiseido Microclick Concentrate<\/a>, \u00a3195<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-83922\" src=\"https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling-3-670x670.jpg\" alt=\"At Home Microneedling 3\" width=\"670\" height=\"670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling-3-670x670.jpg 670w, https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling-3-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetweakmentsguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/at-home-microneedling-3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">What&#8217;s in it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The presentation box is done up like an advent calender, inside which you find a headband, a slim wand of the micro-click concentrate and six single-use no-needle treatment heads.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #00a4ad;\">How do you use it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You fix the treatment head onto the syringe-like wand of serum, place it on your clean skin and press the button on the end to pump the serum through the &#8216;micropoints&#8221; in the head.
