I love devices too. My favorite is the Medicube Booster Pro. It also has electroporation to increase absorption. I thought it was a gimmick but I was intrigued so I decided to engage in my own skincare science. I used all the same products but used the device on only half my face. In about four months, my eyelids on the device side was visibly less hooded. I've been using it for almost a year now (I got it on Black Friday last year) and the difference is very noticeable on my eyes and jawline.
I am THIS close to springing for the Medicube on YesStyle after seeing SO many reviews. Everyone seems to say it actually works. My only doubt is what it would do for/to acne, and to pitted acne scars. If it won't worsen them, I'm happy to budget for one instead of the Pat McGrath lippie I was going to buy!
@CosmetopiaDigest I'm not a dermatologist or anything but from everything I know about how it works, it shouldn't affect it at all. The electroporation might actually help skincare get through the scars better. Last year, Medicube had 50 percent off on their website plus you could use an influencer code for a total of 55 percent off. I know the YesStyle price varies so it's worth comparing to get the best deal.
You don’t need to worry about the app for the RÉDUIT device. Amber and red colours are for the serums and blue for Moisturisers and green for toners. The App is a gimmick. I do find it punches the products into the skin better than not using it.
Oh that's helpful, thanks ! I was never interested in those gadgets because they come with an app. I agree with Renu, that skincare time, is a nice moment to relax without a screen.
I don’t use that Reduit device with an app ever since I got it in that advent calendar 2 years ago and I’m perfectly fine, haha - same with my Foreo 😂 I think I only registered it but didn’t have to log into the app every single time to use it. Skipping it this year though 😉
HOW are you getting the Foreo mini bear to work without the app? Mine refuses to, so I pretty much gave up. The Reduit registration was insane. I felt like half my data was exposed 😂
@ I think I also registered it with the app and stopped using the app immediately after registration 😅 But I had mine for years now so I don’t really remember the details 🫣
Hmmm… this is the calendar I purchased last year and ended up absolutely furious. They swapped out a Kate Somerville Goat’s Milk Moisturiser for a cleanser. At the time I was still really unwell from an ms relapse, which meant that I couldn’t be bothered to return the calendar. I have, instead, voted with my purse and gone with a different ( and infinitely more reliable ) company. Space NK offer an Advent calendar which provides a number of products I love, as well as several I can gift. That makes it a bigger investment, but a far more solid product, I feel. 😊
Space NK is one of the GOOD calendars this year. So many calendars/boxes use the small print as an excuse to replace what they original promised with cheaper alternatives. They reply with, "We have the right to replace something if it is unavailable," so it is like banging your head against a wall. Voting with our purses is the only way to go!
I got the first Cohorted calendar in 2020, the '12 Wishes' in the triangular box. It was £60 on sale and £12 for shipping, though I'm sure my shipping to NZ was included. Lots of full size luxe products, used them all. Not impressed with 2024.
This is also not a good calendar for those who subscribe to the Cohorted box, I did subscribe for about 6 months, (cancelled due to shipping delays and the international shipping tripling in price) and have received half of these products in boxes during that time! Hate it when they fill with left over stock, obviously ignoring their regular customers!
Gosh! Good to know - that's very unfair! And, international shipping TRIPLING? That's too much. The Pip Box used to send out COMPLETELY different products in their boxes and the advent calendar... I wish they hadn't closed down :(

Wow! I missed the first ever one, but got the second, I think. That's a very good deal that you got. I think shipping is now insane internationally?
The packaging is better than the contents!
100% agree - it is a very nice box!
I don’t think the calendar is as good as previous years. Great review as always Renu.
I bought a couple 2 years ago like you & several items were swapped out with cheaper alternatives so wouldn’t buy again
Wow. They should notify buyers of the change and give the option of a refund since you aren't getting what you paid for.

Oof, don't fancy any of this 😅
Avant here, Avant there, Avant EVERYWHERE!
Omg this ain't good at all.. 😮Price gone up so much,and ain't near as good as last year😮😮😮
Apparently shipping abroad has tripled, and most of the products were already sent in their subscription boxes. Ugh.
@CosmetopiaDigest this is one of worst they ever have done
