When diving into the ocean of at-home skin devices, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the choices available out there. How do you choose the right one for your skin struggles? Are all of them worth the investment? How do you know if they’re safe to use?

“There are many cheap ‘me-too’ products that are typical of people following success, but you should always check on the regulatory side,” says Laurence Newman, CEO at CurrentBody, a platform specialising in beauty tech devices for home use. “Does it have FDA [approval], for example? Who sells the product? Often the price itself is a giveaway as quality, effective and safe devices are not cheap to develop or manufacture.”

Read on to learn more about the gadgets most experts recommend, as they’re not only good investments but will also deliver actual, noticeable results.
