Tell me about your Foreo Bear / Nuface please!

Please help me! Which one should I get?
My main target areas are:


  • Saggy chin

  • Naso-labial folds

  • Eye-bags (not sure if either device will help here)

  • Hooded eyes

  • Frown lines

Does anyone have any experience of either device in these areas?
I was sort of set on the Nuface trinity, and even willing to get the little prong-thing to target the eyes. But I’ve read some reviews saying the Bear is so much better!
So my other question is: has anyone used the Bear (full size, not the mini) on their eye area? Particularly for hooded eyes?

I got the Nuface mini towards the end of 2017 and used it daily until I upgraded to a Foreo Bear (full size) at the beginning of this year.

The Nuface has slightly improved my hooded eyes and in general has kept age at bay rather than give any drastic improvement. I bought the Bear because my jowls and nasolabial lines, while pretty much the same as they were, are showing signs of possibly getting worse as I have lost some weight plus am going through menopause. So I wanted something with a bit more oomph.

I don't see any noticeable lift immediately after using either machine but staying the same over several years is a pretty decent result as far as I am concerned. I am glad I was prepared to stay the course and just use the thing regularly. I don't have eye bags so can't say how either would perform there.

Thanks so much @GallstoneGlory !
Hoping for some more reviews / opinions?

I've tried both, and prefer the bear to the nuface. The bear is said to be stronger and it has an anti-shock system that prevents the device from zapping you. It helped me with my jawline and forehead lines. It took about a month of intense use to see slightly more permanent results. My nuface broke after a couple of weeks of use, so I definitely recommend the bear. Plus, I follow their page on insta and saw they'll be increasing prices sometime this month, so this is the perfect time to get one at a better price.

I have the nuface and get terrible pain in my teeth which puts me off using it (I particularly wanted it for jowls and jawline) I'm worried my teeth will get loose and fall out!! No idea if this would be the same with the bear, or indeed if it's only a problem if you have fillings like I do.

@juneph I've just started using the Foreo Bear, only 2 days. Did you use it daily and only once a day? 2.5 minutes seems such little time only once a day.
