I do not know how to reverse that problem. Do you think you used the roller too hard?

I started with the .5mm because I'm very fair skinned and slightly sensitive to begin with, so wanted to start at the lowest level and see how that goes. My first try, I pressed enough to feel the little needles, but not hard enough to make my face more than slightly pink. A couple days later I used a slightly more pressure and yes, it's somewhat uncomfortable but not so much as to stop doing it, after that time my face was pretty pink with a tight feeling for a couple of hours. Again, the third time and ever since, I've pressed harder (never enough to draw blood at all) and now my face stays red and feels tight for 4-5 hours and I have received a few compliements on "glowing". My suggestion is to always start slow and build up. And it's really important to rinse/clean the roller in alcohol after each use and let it dry before placing back in holder.

I wouldn't do that. I would reverse it (the C in the a.m. and the retinol (which tretoinin is) at night, never ever together, they cancel each other out. I would not roll daily even with the smallest needles, like the .25 mm size, a few times per week at most, if your goal is product penetration.

I WISH! I ended up going to another line Olay microderm abraision , with a new brand I never heard about before "Murad" at Sephoria. They make some for dark spots and some for wrinkles. I bought both. In two weeks, in has made a wonderful improvement and I have even tried to keep track of comments, but had to lost count. This product is just a moisturizer to me

Here is what I can tell you about what happened to my "aging" skin after taking this..... it got soft and the scales went away! My skin looked like an alligator! Wrinkles well they are still with me - BUT I earned every single one of them!

See my review of it on June 20, 2013 "Cured My Eczema." I agree w/you that sagging skin has to be surgically tightened. The moisturizing chemicals expand the skin by filling the cells with water so the face looks filled out--younger--since that is what makes the difference between older and younger human bodies. I prefer alpha hydroxy or retinol and Neutrogena is the least expensive, hypoallergenic, fast acting anti-aging creme I've found. The Night has no sunscreen, the Day is SPF 15. But there definitely is something very good in DMAE (which seems to be alcohol combined with...) that is good for the skin. I had to stop drinking coffee caffienated and the DMAE substitutes as a stimulant. See my review of it on June 20, 2013 "Cured My Eczema."

Thanks Reyes, this is very helpful. Thanks to you, I will be sure to give it plenty of time to dry. It sounds like might not give me exactly the visual effect I was hoping for, but I will end liking it for the way it makes my face feel (which is what it is really suppose do to.) I will try it out this weekend. Thanks again.

My acne scars were very old and not pocked but it looked rough, not smooth. Since using the derma roller this has lessened. I also use Bio-oil that can be purchased anywhere and apply that at night only. At times I forget. For the most part my skin looks better and it has helped with the tone of my skin.(firmness).

I've been using this approximately weekly for several months, usually after a warm shower so my skin is already flexible and clean. I use a luxury moisturizing / spot remover cream daily, and I put it on minutes after I'm done rolling. It soothes the skin, and because you have the microchannels in your skin from the roller, it really absorbs the treatment. I have deep acne scars and within two to three rollings I noticed a pair of large "canyon" type scars had popped out some, and new skin was growing along the previous valley. This is a good product if you use it properly. I suppose you could use it more often, but I don't want to damage my skin any further and what I've been doing seems to work. So - get a great moisturizer that treats whatever your main issue is, get this, have some patience, and love your face. Hope this helps!

Dear L. Lynn, while you may think of me as biased (since I am the one who chose this roller to be the first product for our brand - Bodiance) - please know that there is an overwhelming scientific evidence of it working, and working well! Studies have shown you can use it with, or without a skin care product applied afterwords, as at the core of this therapy is natural New collagen generation within your skin. It takes a bit of time to see the results in some cases, but they (the results) do come in. IMPORTANT: this is the correct size for a derma roller for face - 0.5mm, because the collagen is produced at a depth of 0.5-0.6mm. It makes it rather gentle as well! You can roll once or twice a week, clean the face first, then roll where desired. Should you choose to apply your favorite cream, the more natural it is, the better - this treatment greatly enhances product absorption. Which will also save you money on a cream - you can use less of it :) Hope this helps. Look forward to having you as our customer!

Yes! I use this after I derma roll. It is gentle and soothing enough with natural ingredients, so it is fine.

Sorry - I don't feel qualified to answer your question. My only suggestion would be to follow the directions that came with the product or consult with a Dermatologist.

How I do the cleaning process. I fill a bowl full of extremely hot water and let it soak for about 10 minutes. After that I rinse with hot water again. As I set the derma roller aside to dry off a little I put 70% rubbing alcohol in the bowl and run the derma roller around in the alcohol for a few minutes. After use I follow the same procedure. It sounds like a pain but as the derma roller is soaking you can get all your products that you use after ready. So it doesn't seem to long. I'd rather go overboard on cleaning the roller to be safe since I'm poking holes in my face. Hope this helps.

I've been using ScarAway for a couple of weeks and it looks like it is easing and flattening the older scars. The appearance of the newer scars has been miraculous. They are almost non-existent. Give it time.

Thanks for your interest in our Derma Roller SGF. Several people have written reviews stating they had experienced dramatic results with reducing age spots. While everyone is different, we believe it is certainly worth the effort. If I ask myself, 'would I pay twenty or so dollars to simple try to get rid of MY age spots'??? I know the answer is a resounding, YES!!! So, I tried it, and it worked for me! We hope if will work for you!!!Thanks,Team SGF

I'm having the same problem. I bought mine at a store, so I know this is the real stuff. At first, I thought it was exfoliating my skin because so much "stuff" rolled up when I began applying my makeup. Now I just wonder if it is a problem with my base and they don't mix together well for some reason or another, so it is just rolling up and off of my face as I rub on my base. It comes off in small to big pieces like the skin is peeling. Is that what yours is doing?
