I don't know. I use it as a moisturizer after my nightly routine, while I watch TV before going to bed. It is a nice enhancer. Sorry. Olga

I wouldn't do anything to aggravate/upset the skin before you use this product. Just wash it and tone it, no scrubbing or rough treatment. If you do I think you increase your chances of it burning.I also wouldn't sue this product nightly, it has skin lightening agents, use it only a few times a week.

You want to make sure you apply the creams after you use the derma roller. I saw results after the first use.

I started with the .5mm because I'm very fair skinned and slightly sensitive to begin with, so wanted to start at the lowest level and see how that goes. My first try, I pressed enough to feel the little needles, but not hard enough to make my face more than slightly pink. A couple days later I used a slightly more pressure and yes, it's somewhat uncomfortable but not so much as to stop doing it, after that time my face was pretty pink with a tight feeling for a couple of hours. Again, the third time and ever since, I've pressed harder (never enough to draw blood at all) and now my face stays red and feels tight for 4-5 hours and I have received a few compliements on "glowing". My suggestion is to always start slow and build up. And it's really important to rinse/clean the roller in alcohol after each use and let it dry before placing back in holder.

Just a smear should do it, my skin absorbs it in a few minutes. It is not visible once you smear it on.

Effective, but you have to commit to the pain! Holding skin taut helps. It's critical that skin be clean first, use alcohol swab before and after. I finish with tea tree oil. Otherwise, you might get bumps, like little pimples.

I would cleanse with soap and disinfect the skin before use. Soak the needle head in alcohol for 10 minutes before and after use.

You use it on a cleaned face that is dirt and makeup free. After rolling the derma needle in all directions I like to put in my moisturizer or any anti-aging serum.

I don't believe this form of Glutathione is absorbed very well. It was more obvious when I received injection and now I am on the pump of liquid form. I do not know the facial complexion has improved bur overall skin condition has definitely improved. I hope Viva can offer the same format of Glutathione which is now sold by Quick Silver...(That one is expensive, about $90 a month).

It might be helpful but I suspect that you may be able to use something stronger on the area - products for the face tend to be gentle.

Dear Jen, We prefer you beeing nervous about using the Derma Roller than beeing careless. For what you say in your question it seems you have deep scars. Our advice is to consult a dermatologist or cosmetician specialized in microneedling, to take a look at your skin, and advice you best length of microneedles and waiting time in between sessions. They can also train you to use it, at least once, and then you can continue at home. That said, and making clear that what I am going to say here following, it is not a medical or specialist advice, on the litterature and studies performed with the dermaroller, it has been shown that between sessions you should leave you skin rest from 4 to 6 weeks. Normal healing after any kind of injury, takes around a month, so that is why you have to wait. YOu need to leave your skin to heal after the session (4 weaks minimum) then a week or 2 of rest, and then do another session. A few times a week it is not advisable on the 1.0mm long microneedles. Probably they heard to do several times a week from a 0.5mm needle lenght which hardly makes any effect on the skin. The face after treatment is red, and next day is red too as if you had been taking a sun bath. If you do the session on Friday night on Monday you should be a bit red, but nothing that prevents you to go to work. Of course it depends on how hard you used the device on your skin. If you are not careful and push too hard, you can even injure yourself. So please be careful. You don't have to feel any pain during the procedure, it is not a tatoo!. If it hurts, STOP! you are doing it wrongly. Hope this helps, but please, a professional will give you better advice, so please consult with one.

You could remove the needle applicator if you want but I believe you would be spilling/applying too much solution. They recommend a drop or two of this solution for proper lubrication.

Use only on well cleansed skin and Vit C after. Protect your roller. I pour alcohol over it and let it dry without touching counter etc. Then store in its plastic case. RN

I didn't buy the spray. My roller doesn't want to roll. I like the kind to put on with my hand better. I get more in the places I want it.

Probably shouldn't as this could release the ingredients all at once. However, should not cause any harm since this is only a 3mg dose when whole.

I don't really know. I mix about half a teaspoon in while I am using a facial serum, and once my face dries I moisturize well.
