Review (3/5): Read update
(After using this for a little while I added a star) Read to the end. This product basically fits the price tag. I have recently tried another facial roller from Amazon. Let me start with the benefits of a facial roller. It gets the blood circulating which is supposed to help plump the skin and diminish the look of wrinkles, while trying to keep new ones at bay. Supposed to help smooth out the skin, and help massage some products into your skin.
With that said this roller versus any other roller will have these same benefits over time. The real "jade" ones were said to have magical effects for centuries in Asia and used on the skin so that's where that comes in.
I personally use a facial roller cold. I put this in the freezer for about 15 min and being stone it quickly absorbs and holds the cold. (This roller compared to others I've used doesn't seem to hold the cold as long) I use it after a sheet mask to help massage in the remaining serum, and the cold helps bring down any puffiness on my face. I also have very bad sinus problems combined with terrible allergies so using a cold facial roller helps to soothe it.
This roller in particular:
Yes, this one seems so far to be worth the cheaper price tag, although there are cheaper ones that work as well (ex. Revlon)
I absolutely was not impressed with the box it came in I don't think this would make a good storage box for the roller (it doesn't close) nor would it be impressive as a gift.
It did squeak during its first use and right out of the box. Seems slightly cheaply made.
Also claims to be a jade Roller when in actuality I believe it's just a replica of a rose quartz roller (I don't think it's real rose quartz but it could be) It's not jade though. Jade comes in different shades of green, blue, turquoise.
All in all this roller is just ok.
After more users and trying different one this is definitely one of the better ones. Or does its job and the gua sha tool works well too.
