What the gurus are saying

One expert found the Foreo Bear can deliver noticeably tighter, lifted skin in a single session, potentially shaving years off appearance in a short treatment. However, that same expert notes the jury is still out on whether results stick around or fade quickly, so anyone considering it should view initial lift as temporary until longer-term data emerges. A separate expert who tested multiple microcurrent devices found the Foreo Bear less impressive than some competing models.

"The Foreo Bear is okay, but I feel like I outgrew it, I just don't really use it anymore."

"I liked the FOREO Bear, I liked it, however I don't use it anymore. It's a microcurrent device the company claims is 2.5 times more powerful than other options, but the problem is I actually really like more gentle microcurrent, so overall I like the nanocurrent settings on the Zip more. It's not my favorite, but in this sale at 50% off I can see it being worth it for some people, you just have to use these devices consistently to see results."

"I love my little Foreo Bear. I honestly prefer the little one over the Bear Plus, it kind of contours my cheek a little bit better."

"The Foreo Bear is a microcurrent device that uses a very small electrical charge to stimulate the smooth muscles under your skin to lift and tighten up. [...] By using this electrical current you can stimulate the smooth muscles to contract underneath the surface of the skin causing the skin to look tighter and lifted, and the results can actually be pretty impressive from these devices. [...] If you want to turn back the clock by five years or so literally in the span of a short at-home treatment then these devices could definitely be worth your while."

"I've tried the Foreo Bear, the Zip, the new Face Medicube, myolift mini, and then a lot of ones that frankly are a waste of money. The Foreo Bear is a two probe system, whereas the Medicube is a two lobe system and the myolift mini is a two probe system."
