Do not buy this unless you are prepared to be shocked at seeing yourself with this much detail!  You can see an awful lot of things with this that you can't see with the naked eye, and I've found myself stuck to the mirror with a pair of tweezers for an hour!  Really, this is the best magnifying mirror I've ever owned...it looks good, it 's super-sturdy, and the size is just right for a vanity or bathroom.
