Let’s Roll

Results. That’s what gets us. Visible, tangible, ideally rapid results. Enter UK import FaceGym, whose method centers around the idea of training the muscles in your face to prevent sagging, much like how we train our bodies. The protocol includes advanced skin care formulas, some truly cutting-edge tools, and a series of trainer-guided workout videos accessible via QR code. So, when founder Inge Theron invited VIOLET LAB to experience her newest innovation in at-home facial care—The Active Roller—we decided to, well, roll with it.

The FaceGym Active Roller features disposable heads (no need for cleaning) with microneedles that are actually made from crystallized active ingredients that dissolve directly into the skin without the risk of damage. As we chose our treatment

–Brightening, Hydrating, or Youthful–and gently rolled the tool over clean, dry skin, it felt prickly but not painful or unpleasant and left our skin looking revitalized and plumped. Watching as the redness quickly subsided and a serious glow emerged, we eagerly put the at-home skin changers in front of the Committee of Industry Experts. 

“First of all YES to disposable, single-use, at-home microneedling! The Youthful formula helped me achieve the dewiest skin in just one use, and with plant-based growth factors and niacinamide you can’t go wrong!”

“These are so cool! I stopped using microneedling rollers because of the cleaning process but this single-use version is perfect. The technology that allows the actives to be pushed into skin makes this a stand-out product for me. I’m really impressed.”

“I like that the FaceGym at-home Active Roller uses ‘needles’ that are crystallized skincare ingredients. The cartridges are single-use which really helps make at-home microneedling safe.”

Testers were so impressed with these cleaner, safer alternatives to microneedling that drive active ingredients deep into the skin for a highly effective treatment while also promoting collagen and elastin production, they began stockpiling the different refill heads to use as a weekly ritual (in addition to their regular FaceGym workouts, of course). With that, FaceGym’s Active Rollers (and the refills) are officially VIOLET CODE APPROVED and have earned a place on THE SHELVES.
