Vanity PlanetDefina Contour and Define Massaging Roller - Facial Roller helps Stimulates Blood Flow and Helps Reduce Fine Lines - Unique V-Shaped Design for Cooling Precision

I know better than to equate a high price with quality, and yet, generally speaking, you DO get what you pay for.  I have a number of facial roller devices of all different kinds--some have one barrel, some have two roller balls, some vibrate, some give a small electrical microcharge to stimulate skin, some are made of natural materials, some are wholly manmade, and the prices for all these devices vary according to their features.  This particular tool is nice enough, with two pink quartz roller balls to massage and tone your facial muscles and encourage lymphatic drainage.  The handle is heavy and the whole thing feels like a high-quality product.  But I don't really like it.  The balls get stuck and don't roll smoothly.  They also heat up against the warmth of my skin, which I thought quartz shouldn't do, so that's confusing.  This roller comes with good directions for use, which might sound silly, but I have had others that didn't.  Directions are helpful, so I appreciate that.  But I don't understand the high price tag.  Why is this facial roller so much more expensive than the others I have?  If you get what you pay for, what am I getting with this device that I don't get with others?  I honestly don't know.If you have money to burn, go ahead and buy this facial roller.  It's okay.  It feels great in hand and all right on your face.  It costs a lot more than some others that I think perform better, but it is attractive and looks great on a bathroom vanity.  If that's your jam, enjoy it!  Otherwise, keep shopping.  You can do better for less.I hope my experience with this product might help YOU make a more informed purchase.  Happy shopping!

Excellent facial roller that significantly impacts short-term facial puffiness. There are a wide, wide, WIDE array of facial rollers available on the market - they range from the humble and affordable jade single roller to the expensive and luxurious double-rotating rollers that use electric microcurrents to increase lymphatic drainage and tighten facial muscles.This roller falls somewhere in between, with it being closest to the upper end of the scale in that it's a double roller, the rollers do rotate, and it's a step up from classic jade in that it's beautiful, crisply cool rose quartz. The rollers are also geospheric to mimic acupressure massage and further encourage deep drainage, so while there is no microcurrent or electric or vibrating factor, you're still getting a very effective deep massage. The rollers have excellent grab and are spaced perfectly to pull a lot of your face through the rolling mechanism. It's also aesthetically stunning and looks beautiful on my countertop; a nice bonus.In the end I started out rating this 4 stars but you know what? It gets 5. I really don't have any issues with it. Sure, compared to a $200+ microcurrent roller, this might lack a little punch. But in the end there's a lot to love about it and it's both well made and effective, with a price point that is very affordable for how nice it is and how well it competes with other products that are similar. Highly recommended.

The balls do not roll smoothly. That is my main complaint. I have similar ones from various brands and never had one that rolled like this. It almost gets stuck sometimes and it just doesn't go smoothly at all, like the balls are to tight to spin pproperly. Looks pretty but not very functional.

This thing is over priced and feels clumsy. It doesn't roll smooth on your skin and you can't really apply the right amount of pressure. You get better results by using the flat gua sha stones.

The initial presentation of this tool is impressive. The box, the protective material, and even the little booklet are all thoughtful. In this sense, this could make for a nice gift.Of the roller itself: for its petite size, this is a weighty object. I'm not entirely sure the sheer heft of this roller is necessary, but it does create the illusion of it being "substantive." The handle, though slender, feels fairly ergonomic (e.g., it feels comfortable in-hand). And, the rose quartz roller-balls tend to remain cool/cold (which can be helpful in reducing inflammation, the same way a refrigerated face mask may help reduce inflammation/"puffiness").Use this on clean skin (that is imperative). And read the little booklet to glean an idea of how to roll effectively and efficiently.Now, if you are a hardcore fan of beauty tools (like me) and have used to something like the ReFa Carat Ray (the gold standard of face rollers), you will find that this is considerably smaller. The roller-balls are about half that size. And the overall span of the balls is considerably shorter. So many of those classic massage techniques do not really apply here. Likewise, this doesn't have the option of microcurrent. (There is no solar panel). And, the overall feel is less fluid and less like a luxurious massage than something like you might receive from some other massaging rollers. That said, this is a fraction of the price (quite literally). So, I think it is great for someone looking to experiment with a roller, but unwilling to invest too much.I think this could be a great introduction to face-rollers without the typically large price-tag.
