My skin seems more clear and brighter since I've been using the device. Is it tighter? I can't really say. It is easy and quick to use as part of a beauty routine however. I prefer the gel in the pump dispenser which is easier to apply whilst you have the device in one hand and are trying to get the gel on the next area before too many beeps have gone off! I apply it to half my face and neck at a time, rather than the recommended one zone at a time. 2 pumps are sufficient coverage for each side. I generally tissue it off or rinse my face as it doesn't really absorb into the skin entirely and I don't find makeup works well over it. A nice little product and the charge lasts a significantly long time, unlike other devices I've used, which seem to lose charge even when not being used. Definitely give it a go, you certainly won't regret it.
