What the gurus are saying

This mini microcurrent device earns praise for its portability and waterproof design, which sets it apart from other options, though it comes with trade-offs on intensity. Those with smaller faces or who travel find it handy for targeted work, but the highest power setting causes muscle contractions for some, meaning you may need to stick to the gentler levels. The real split is performance: some gurus see noticeably better lift and contouring from larger microcurrent devices like the NuFace, while a few report the Bear Mini simply does not deliver results for them at all.

"The FOREO Bear Mini is probably my least favorite microcurrent device that I've ever tried. I don't know [...] if it's just a me thing, but [...] the FOREO Bear Mini zapped the heck out of me every time I went to use it."

"Strangely enough, the Foreo Bear Mini absolutely did not work out for me. Absolutely did not."

"I actually really like this. The globes are farther apart so I can kind of get some contouring in the under cheek area and the jawline really easily. It's portable and this is water waterproof or water resistant where none of the other devices are, so it's really convenient. It's really tiny and it has several modes. The only thing with Foreo is I find it's hard to deal with the app. The app and I just don't seem to get along and you have to register your device."

"It also you can't turn off the vibration with this, so you always get a bit of vibration during your microcurrent routine. The benefit of this is it's small, it's tiny, it's portable and it's also waterproof. It's the only microcurrent device that I know of that's waterproof, so this definitely has some benefits to it that the other microcurrent devices don't have."

"I actually don't like this as much as I like the NuFace. I have just seen better results with the NuFace. I don't really understand what is different about the technology, but I actually like this one. I don't like it as much as the NuFace, but the NuFace is more expensive. Now they are both on sale for Prime Day, so that is great. [...] If you're trying to target smaller areas or if you're traveling, the mini is better."
