VERDICT
Many customers love this product and swear by its effectiveness. A handful of sensitive-skinned customers found the heads too abrasive to work well. This machine is a good purchase for those with normal skin, seeking a budget-friendly, portable microdermabrasion machine, but may not be the best for someone with high-needs, sensitive skin.
