We *Need* To Talk About This New 6-In-1 At-Home Skincare Device That’s $799...

Breaking beauty news: CLOUD NINE now makes skin care devices.

No, that's not a typo.

The global brand known for their best-selling hair tools, straighteners and curling wands are indeed here to slide into your skincare routine, too.

Whenever the topic of at-home skincare devices comes up, whether it be an LED mask or a cleansing brush, I always get asked the same question...

Do they really do anything, or are at-home skin devices a gimmick?

And I get it, because not only are good-quality skin devices a financial investment, but they can also be a little bit intimidating to use.

With that in mind, I decided to take the very intriguing new CLOUD NINE ReVibe Rejuvenating 6in1 Anti-Ageing Device for a full test-drive to show you exactly how it works.

From cleansing and microcurrent-style pulses to red and blue LED treatments, this tool says it does it all.

But does it deliver? Let's find out.

What Is the CLOUD NINE Skin Tool?

CLOUD NINE ReVibe Rejuvenating 6in1 Anti-Ageing Device is a skincare device that brings together some of the technologies you would get when you go to a skin clinic, but in an at-home all-in-one device!

It is expensive - we're talking $799 - but it's really three to four devices in one, so I can see why.

Think of it like the Dyson AirWrap of skin devices. One tool. SO MANY OPTIONS.

But if you're going to make an investment in a tool like this one, you want to be clear on the benefits and features.

Here's what you need to know:

• CLOUD NINE ReVibe has six different 'modes' to mimic elements of an in-clinic facial at home.

• The cleansing device mode deeply cleanses to prevent breakouts and elevate your cleansing experience.

• Import mode uses infrared light and heat to help your products absorb deeper into the skin.

• Want to work on the look of dark circles and puffiness? Try the eye care mode designed to be used around the delicate eye area.

• The EMS mode (electronic muscle stimulation, similar to microcurrent) stimulates the facial muscles to lift, tone and improve the appearance of skin firmness.

• Red LED light mode helps with healing, reducing skin inflammation and stimulating collagen production.

• The blue LED light mode is great for killing acne-causing bacteria and reducing the look of pore size.

• You can use the CLOUD NINE skin device to address skin concerns like the look of dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles, breakouts, uneven skin tone, acne scarring and skin elasticity.

• Ergonomic design looks a bit like an old-school phone, but it's so easy to hold and use!

In the box, you'll find the device, a charging base and adaptor, cotton cleansing pads, the cleansing ring attachment, universal plugs and a luxe dustbag for storage.

This device also comes with a free one-year warranty.

How to Use the CLOUD NINE Skin Device.

I'll admit, it took me a few tries to wrap my head around how to use this skin device.

The instruction booklet is super comprehensive, which is awesome!

But it can also be a tad overwhelming. So let's break it down:

• Charging your device: Before use, plug in the charging dock and place the device on top. It'll take a few hours to fully charge (you can't use the device while it's plugged in), but you'll get around three hours of use per charge.

• Turning the device on/off: Hold down the 'mode' button for three seconds to turn the device on and off. The first cleansing mode will auto-start, and you'll see the little diagram on the LED screen light up.

• Device settings: Press the 'mode' button to move through each of the six settings - the LED screen will tell you which setting you're on. You can also increase or decrease the intensity by pressing the 'level' button.

• Cleaning your device: Use a soft, dry cloth after each use. Just make sure to avoid getting water in the battery charging section!

CLOUD NINE Skin Review.

Now, you're ready to start your at-home facial using the CLOUD NINE skin tool.

But... what's it actually like? And does it work?

You can watch me navigate giving myself an at-home facial using the CLOUD NINE ReVibe in the YouTube video below.

Or keep scrolling for step-by-step instructions, plus my honest thoughts.

1. The Cleansing Device Mode.

Unlike some traditional cleansing brushes, the CLEAN mode on the CLOUD NINE ReVibe combines ultra-sonic vibrations and thermo technology to deeply cleanse the skin.

How to use it:

• After using micellar water or your first cleanser to remove makeup, fix a cotton pad to the device using the ring attachment.

• Apply a small amount of your favourite cleanser (I used waaaaay too much, you only need a bit!), turn the device on and massage directly onto damp skin in circular motions.

• The cleansing step goes for three minutes for a super deep clean, and you can increase or decrease the vibrations to your liking.

OK, but what's it really like?

I've never been one for standalone cleansing devices, but my skin felt really clean, but not stripped, after using this.

The vibrations feel really nice on the skin, and it feels even more lovely when it starts to heat up.

It was easy to use and it automatically beeps and moves onto the next step when time is up.

Hot tip: You can always repeat the cleanse mode if you want more time. And always work in upwards motions - gotta fight gravity, darl.

2. Import Mode.

I straight up did not understand what this mode did... then I read the instructions carefully and it all made sense.

The whole idea of the import mode is to use the sonic vibrations and invisible infrared light and heat to stimulate collagen production, and help product penetrate deeper into the skin.

Unlike red LED light, you can't see infrared light. You can feel its warmth, and when applied to the surface of the skin, it can penetrate around 1.5 inches deep.

How to use it:

• Remove the cotton pad and ring attachment from the device.

• Apply your favourite sheet mask or serum (Société Rejuvenating Peptide Mask is very bougie, but very juicy).

• Place the device directly onto the face and rotate in upwards circular motions until it beeps to move onto the next mode.

OK, but what's it really like?

I wasn't sure this step was doing anything, other than making my skin feel really nice with the warm vibrations.

But when I removed my sheet mask, I could see a little bit of pinkness from having heated up the top layer of skin.

I'd say this is the most underrated 'mode' of this device - don't skip it!

3. The Eyecare Mode For Dark Circles.

Moving onto the eye care section, the device uses ion technology to reduce the look of dark circles and puffiness by helping with product absorption.

How to use it:

• Pop on your favourite eye serum or gel - you want the skin to be lubed up to avoid any dragging of the delicate skin around the eyes.

• Gently slide the device from the corner of the under-eye, around and above the eyebrow.

OK, but what's it really like?

At this point of the facial, the device is no longer vibrating.

The 'ion technology' feels like a very gentle, not at all painful pulsing on the skin.

For me, this is a take it or leave it step, but it could be good if you have under-eye skin concerns.

4. EMS Device Mode.

You might be familiar with microcurrent or toning skincare devices already, but this mode uses the same electric muscle stimulation to visibly tighten and tone areas of the face.

How to use it:

• Apply more serum to the skin if needed - I chose a hydrating serum like Dermalogica Circular Hydration Serum to allow the device to do the heavy lifting.

• Place the device onto the skin and move in repetitive upwards motions on the areas you'd like to work on.

• You can use this along your jawline or cheekbones up towards the ear and temple, under the chin and jowls area, or the collarbone and neck (be careful to avoid your throat).

• Adjust the intensity levels to suit.

OK, but what's it really like?

The first time I used this toning device mode, I turned it up to the highest strength and gave myself a slight physical and emotional shock.

I wouldn't recommend that for a beginner - start on a lower level, it feels like a warm, light cupping sensation on the skin.

This mode is excellent for tightening up the ole triple chin should you want to. In the video above, I used it on the right side of my face for three minutes as recommend.

Maybe I'm born with it (spoiler: I'm not), but I actually reckon it did carve out my cheekbone.

Obviously, the visible result after one use is a short-term win, but with longer-term consistent use, a lot of people have seen really great results from these kinds of microcurrent devices.

5 & 6. The Red Light and Blue Light LED Modes.

LED light therapy is my favourite at-home skin treatment.

You can learn more about what light therapy is and what red vs blue LED light does for skin in our YouTube explainer video above!

Short version: The red wavelengths (650 nanometres) energise the cells and stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production. It also helps with reducing inflammation, increasing radiance, and overall skin tone.

The blue light setting, or the 'cool mode', uses blue LED wavelengths to destroy acne-causing bacteria, heal existing blemishes, prevent future breakouts and reduce the look of pores.

How to use them:

• With serum still applied to the skin, apply the device on or just above the skin.

• Move the device over the areas you want to focus on.

• Both these LED modes are fairly quick, so I doubled up to ensure I could treat all the areas of the face I wanted to.

OK, but what are they really like?

The thing about these LED modes is they require patience.

Unlike a full LED face mask, the surface area of this device is quite small, so you will need to work your way around the face.

The red light hardly feels like anything. It shines a red light and feels pleasantly warm on the skin, whereas the blue light shines blue and feels cool on the skin. This is a nice way to end the treatment!

I like to focus both light modes on the chin area where I experience congestion and inflammation.

For example, a beautiful pimple I prepared specifically for filming the CLOUD NINE skin device YouTube video benefited from both the red light and the blue light.

Big bonus points to CLOUD NINE for stating the strength of the light wavelengths in the information booklet so you can easily compare it against other things on the market.

After the blue light mode finished, I completed my at-home facial with the mesoestetic melan recovery 50ml and basked in my own glow!

Final Thoughts.

Here's a selfie showing exactly how my skin looked immediately after using the CLOUD NINE ReVibe 6-in-1 skin device.

I've only used it a few times, so I can't speak for the longer term results, but it does feel really good.

My skin also looked and felt soft, clean and supple, and I didn't experience any pain or irritation.

Except for zapping myself on the level five microcurrent setting. Classic rookie error.

That's all great, but would I genuinely use a skin device like this one in my routine?

If you've got the budget and care factor, and you enjoy investing time and money in your skin, using this once a week would be a really great addition to your skincare routine.

Me personally, I'm pretty lazy when it comes to skin care, so it'd be a stretch to use this every week.

But I'm obsessed with the glow using this device gave me...

A good point to make is you don't need to use every single mode every single time you use your device.

Some days, you'll feel like the whole shebang. Other times, just the cleansing mode or the LED lights will do the trick.

So, is a skin device worth $799?

It won't be for everyone, but it is if it's within your means, and you'll actually use it consistently.

Practically, buying three or four different single-use skin tools would cost you the same, if not more. But the cost per use only applies if you dedicate the time to getting the best out of the device.

No at-home tool will compare to a professional in-clinic skin treatment.

A lot of people don't have the time or income to do that on a regular basis, though, so it might be more economical to invest in a multi-use high-quality tool like this one.

Again, only if you'll use it every week at home.

Really, the choice is yours, dear reader!
