FaceGym, you might have heard of it – they’re all about fancy skincare tools and face massages. They’re the kind of brand that’s really into the idea of sticking to a skincare routine for long-term results. Even celebs like Bella Hadid and Selena Gomez are fans, if you can believe it.
But it’s not just tools; they’ve got moisturizers, toners, and serums in their lineup too. Basically, everything you need for amazing skin. And here’s the best part – you can do it all at home. No need for fancy spa appointments that cost a fortune and eat up your time.
Our shopping team? Yeah, they’ve tried a bunch of FaceGym’s gadgets, like the muscle-stimulation mask (it used to be £460 but now it’s down to £345 on Independent.co.uk) and the micro needling tool (was £62, now just £47 on Independent.co.uk). But what’s got everyone talking is the FaceGym active blast collagen booster.
The original version came out in January 2022, but in May 2023, they gave it a makeover with new eco-friendly packaging. Inside, you’ll find freeze-dried thingamajigs that you mix with a bottle of hyaluronic acid and niacinamide serum (priced at £51, available on Facegym.com). And don’t worry, it’s totally vegan. It’s made from fermented yeast and is all about collagen type 3, which is all about making your skin bouncy and less crinkly.
FaceGym says it can plump things up and make fine lines and tired-looking skin go ‘poof’. But here’s the thing – it’s not the cheapest. It starts at £55 for a seven-day treatment, and if you want to go all-in for 28 days, it’s £185. So, is it worth the hype? We decided to put the vegan-friendly collagen booster to the test for a full 28 days and tell you what we really think.”
