Shark FacialPro Glow — hands-on summary & details
About two years ago the author experienced an “aqua peel” in Singapore and sought a way to replicate it at home. Shark’s new FacialPro Glow now promises a similar hydro‑powered, spa‑level facial that suctions and rinses pores while infusing hydrator.
What it is
- System: FacialPro Glow — hydro‑fueled cleanse attachment + handle.
- Accessory: Depuffi — separate heated/cooling plate for warming or calming skin (sold separately).
- Included products: “Derm Detox” exfoliating gel (AHA/BHA) and “Hydro Infuse” BHA hydrator (formulations developed for the device).
How it works (short)
- Apply a thin layer of Derm Detox gel; wait ~3 minutes.
- Fill the front tank with clean water for the first suction pass; attach chosen tip (gentle wide, gentle T‑zone, normal wide, normal T‑zone).
- Glide the nozzle across skin for three minutes (wide head ~2 min, T‑zone ~1 min); gunk is collected into the rear “gunk tank.”
- Refill the clean tank with Hydro Infuse for a second three‑minute flush that hydrates while rinsing.
- Optional: attach Depuffi to heat before treatment or cool after to soothe skin.
Experience notes
- Feels like a salon pore vacuum + hydra‑facial; refreshing, not overly wet or messy.
- Derm Detox felt watery, fragrance‑free, not strongly tingly.
- Gunk tank may show mainly residual product color rather than heavy extractions if you’ve recently had a facial.
- Depuffi offers six temperature levels; cooling was soothing for sensitive skin.
Pricing & availability
- FacialPro Glow system: listed at about $400, available Oct 6 (date from manufacturer announcements).
- Depuffi accessory: listed at about $200, available Oct 17 (sold separately).
Pros & Cons
- Pros: at‑home spa‑style experience, quick 3‑minute passes, soothing Depuffi, no big mess.
- Cons: locked into Shark’s proprietary gels/essences (company advises against third‑party products), ongoing cost for replacements (~$50 bundles sold by Shark), pricey initial outlay.
Bottom line
If you want a convenient at‑home alternative to salon hydra‑facials and don’t mind using Shark’s curated products, the FacialPro Glow looks promising. If you prefer product flexibility or lower ongoing costs, weigh the subscription/replacement expense first.
