# Best Microcurrent Facial Device 2026: 10 Ranked, Rating Counts Compared Source: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-microcurrent-facial-devices Published: 2026-09-15 | Updated: 2026-09-15 | Prices checked on Amazon UK on 2026-09-15 The FOREO Bear at £229 and the Bear Mini at £159 are two different tools, £70 apart. Both listings display 1,657 ratings, 4.1 stars, and a percentage split that matches exactly: 62% five-star, 15% four-star, 9% three-star, 4% two-star, 10% one-star. That tells you something about microcurrent facial device listings in general. The review count on a listing is not always the review count of the device. Meanwhile the 4.4-star medicube Booster Pro carries 6,934 ratings — more than the other nine devices in this top ten combined (4,859). Judge the sample, not the star. We ranked ten of the best microcurrent facial devices on Amazon on price, the number of ratings sitting behind each score, the shape of the star distribution, and what actually arrives in the box. Where a listing's own fields disagree with each other, we say so rather than smoothing it over. ## The ranking ### 1. medicube Booster Pro 6-in-1 Glass Glow Massager, Black - Price: £103.37 | Amazon rating: 4.4 from 6,934 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-microcurrent-facial-devices/medicube-booster-pro - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CWK6YQ7V?tag=ranked10-21 The only device here with a four-figure sample: 6,934 ratings at 4.4 stars, so the score rests on volume rather than on a handful of early buyers. This sits first because of the sample, not the star. 6,934 ratings at 4.4 stars is more reviews than the other nine devices here combined (4,859), and 75% of those ratings are five-star against 10% one-star. By contrast, several higher-scoring tools further down this list are working with 32 or 54 ratings. It is a 6-in-1 glass glow massager with a stated weight of 155g, sold with a USB charging cable and cleansing wipes. Worth noting: the listing calls the power source "Corded Electric" in one field and puts a USB charging cable in the box in another, which do not sit together neatly. The same listing gives item dimensions of 9 x 24 x 7 millimetres — smaller than a matchbox, and impossible for a 155g handset. Trust the weight, not the dimensions. Anyone who wants to use a microcurrent facial device in the bath or on a plane should look elsewhere: this one runs from a cord and no battery runtime is stated. If what you want is the highest percentage of five-star ratings rather than the largest sample, the 4.5-star devices below are a better fit. Pros: 6,934 ratings at 4.4 stars — more than the other nine devices in this list combined (4,859); 75% of its ratings are five-star; £103.37, cheaper than every FOREO device here; Supplied with a USB charging cable and cleansing wipes; 155g and 5V DC — light enough to hold through a full routine Cons: 10% of its ratings are one-star; only the Bear 2's 11% is higher in this top ten; Power source listed as corded electric, yet a USB charging cable is included; Item dimensions of 9 x 24 x 7 millimetres are impossible for a 155g device; No battery spec, so no stated runtime away from a socket ### 2. FOREO Bear Smart Microcurrent Face Device, Fuchsia - Price: £229.00 | Amazon rating: 4.1 from 1,657 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-microcurrent-facial-devices/foreo-bear-microcurrent - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08G9B1JQ3?tag=ranked10-21 The £229 original Bear: five microcurrent intensities, a 1,657-rating sample, and a star split identical to the £159 Bear Mini. It is here for the features, not for the score. 4.1 stars from 1,657 ratings puts it behind three cheaper devices above it. Meanwhile those 1,657 ratings appear on the Bear Mini at £159 as well — the same count, the same 4.1, the same 62/15/9/4/10 split. Two products £70 apart cannot both carry their own 1,657 ratings. In practice the Bear offers five microcurrent intensities against the Mini's three, two microcurrent spheres, T-Sonic pulsations, and an anti-shock system that reads your skin's resistance and adjusts output. It runs on batteries at a stated 500 millivolts, weighs 90.7g and is made of silicone. FOREO's own bullets call it an anti-wrinkle massager rather than a clinical microcurrent face lift device — the language is softer than the price suggests. That said, if you want a rating sample that stands on its own, this is not it. And the five-star share is 62%, well below the 75% to 79% posted by the medicube, INIA and iAURA units below. If you want the strongest evidence in volume, spend less; if you want a specific intensity range and a silicone body, the extra is for hardware. Pros: Five microcurrent intensities — two more than the Bear Mini; Anti-shock system reads skin resistance and adjusts intensity automatically; 90.7g silicone body, battery powered at a stated 500 millivolts; Adds T-Sonic pulsations alongside the microcurrent mode Cons: 4.1 stars, behind three cheaper devices in this list; Displays 1,657 ratings — the same count as the £159 Bear Mini; 62% five-star, the lowest five-star share of the FOREO devices here; No stated battery life or runtime ### 3. medicube Booster Pro X2 7-in-1 Glow Beauty Device, Pink - Price: £190.00 | Amazon rating: 4.4 from 487 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-microcurrent-facial-devices/medicube-booster-pro-x2 - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GS8YKMN3?tag=ranked10-21 The newer, dearer Booster: seven modes, 2X power claims and 487 ratings at 4.4 stars, with only 2% two-star. Second only to its cheaper sibling on sample size: 487 ratings at 4.4 stars, with 77% five-star and just 2% two-star. That is a tighter distribution than the £103.37 original, which carries 10% one-star. It also costs £86.63 more. In practice you are paying for modes and power claims. The listing advertises seven modes with six intensity levels, 2X power output and 2X electrodes, and states the comparison is against "Booster Pro Level 5". Crucially, that figure is the manufacturer's own benchmark, not a measurement you can check. It weighs 540g with a battery included — roughly three and a half times the original's stated 155g — so it is a heavier handset to hold. Two of the modes lean on the medicube app, and the listing notes that AI applies only to in-app custom mode recommendations. Worth noting: at £190 this microcurrent facial device costs £86.63 more than the original Booster for a sample that is 14 times smaller. If you want the largest evidence base, buy the cheaper one. If you specifically want mask mode, dual modes and app control, the premium is for features, not for proof. Pros: 77% five-star and only 2% two-star from 487 ratings; Seven modes and six intensity levels, the widest mode count in this list; Mask Boost mode is designed for use over sheet masks; App control for sound, intensity and LED settings; Battery included Cons: £190 — £86.63 more than the original Booster, from a sample 14 times smaller; The 2X power claim is benchmarked against the manufacturer's own Level 5; 540g, over three times the stated weight of the original Booster; AI recommendations work only inside the medicube app ### 4. FOREO Bear 2 Advanced Lifting & Toning Device, Fuchsia - Price: £309.00 | Amazon rating: 4.2 from 382 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-microcurrent-facial-devices/foreo-bear-2 - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CFVY5P9M?tag=ranked10-21 The most expensive FOREO here at £309 and the weakest sample of the three: 382 ratings, 4.2 stars, 11% one-star. It is the most expensive device in this list at £309 and it has the smallest FOREO sample: 382 ratings at 4.2 stars. Meanwhile 11% of those ratings are one-star, the highest one-star share of any device here. That is not a reason to dismiss it — 382 ratings still beats 32 — but it is the number the 4.2 average hides. In theory the upgrades are real. Four microcurrent programmes (Advanced, Lifting, Tapping, Sculpting) sit alongside 5 T-Sonic massage patterns, and the Anti-Shock System 2.0 measures skin 200 times per second. It takes one A battery, weighs 90g and measures 45 x 120 x 150 millimetres. FOREO's bullets quote clinical results — 98% of users reporting brighter skin, 95% reporting lifted cheekbones — with no linked study. At the same time, the practical question is whether a 382-rating sample justifies £309 when the £103.37 Booster Pro carries 6,934. If you want proof in volume, it does not. If you want a lifting routine built around FOREO's conductive serum, that is the package you are buying. Pros: Four microcurrent programmes, including Lifting and Sculpting modes; Anti-Shock System 2.0 measures skin 200 times per second; Five T-Sonic massage patterns, including lymphatic drainage; 90g and 45 x 120 x 150mm — compact for a premium device Cons: 11% of its 382 ratings are one-star, the highest one-star share in this list; £309, the most expensive device here; 382 ratings against 6,934 on the £103.37 Booster Pro; Clinical percentages in the bullets come with no linked study ### 5. medicube Mini Booster Pro Plus Portable Device, Pink - Price: £80.00 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 312 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-microcurrent-facial-devices/medicube-mini-booster-pro-plus - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GCY2WFDV?tag=ranked10-21 The cheapest medicube here at £80 and the highest-rated of the three: 4.5 stars from 312 ratings, 75% of them five-star. It is the cheapest medicube in this list and the best-rated of the three: 4.5 stars from 312 ratings, with 75% five-star and only 5% one-star. That is a smaller sample than the £103.37 original, which means the higher score rests on fewer people. In practice this is the one built for short sessions: three modes, five intensity levels, five-minute sessions, 130g with a AAA battery included, and a slim 3 x 3.5 x 15cm body. The listing claims it boosts skincare absorption by up to 625% compared with using hands alone, citing a trial by Tegoscience, and adds that individual results may vary. For anyone shopping for a microcurrent facial device for beginners, this is the lowest-cost route in, and £80 sits under every FOREO here. That said, check the description against your expectations. The specification fields supplied with this listing name Red, Blue and Purple modes and the 625% absorption claim; the word microcurrent itself does not appear in them. If microcurrent output is the specific thing you are buying, the FOREO and INIA listings state it in their bullets — this one does not. Pros: 4.5 stars from 312 ratings, 75% five-star and 5% one-star; £80 — the cheapest medicube here and under every FOREO in this list; 130g with a AAA battery included; five-minute sessions; Three modes and five intensity levels; Compact 3 x 3.5 x 15cm body Cons: The word microcurrent does not appear in the specification fields supplied; The 625% absorption figure comes from a supplier trial, with results stated to vary; 312 ratings against 6,934 on the £103.37 Booster Pro; Red, Blue and Purple are the only modes named — no jawline programme is listed ### 6. FOREO Bear Mini Targeted Microcurrent Face Lift Device, Lavender - Price: £159.00 | Amazon rating: 4.1 from 1,657 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-microcurrent-facial-devices/foreo-bear-mini - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08G9B22QS?tag=ranked10-21 £70 cheaper than the Bear, with three intensities instead of five — and the exact same 1,657 ratings and 62/15/9/4/10 split. This is the other half of the anomaly at the top of this article. The Bear Mini shows 1,657 ratings at 4.1 stars with a distribution identical to the £229 Bear: 62% five-star, 15% four-star, 9% three-star, 4% two-star, 10% one-star. Either way you read it, one of those two listings is not carrying its own review history. In practice the Mini is the smaller tool: two smaller spheres for targeted work, three intensities rather than five, 59g against the Bear's 90.7g, and dimensions of 32 x 56 x 57 millimetres. It keeps the anti-shock system and the T-Sonic pulsations, and the listing positions it for sagging, puffiness and jawline contours. That is why it is often suggested as a microcurrent device for jawline and puffiness rather than a full-face routine. However, be clear about what the £70 saves. You lose two intensity settings and a good deal of surface area. And if the review count on the page is what persuaded you, remember it is the same count printed on the £229 listing. Pros: £159 — £70 less than the Bear, with the same anti-shock system; 59g and 32 x 56 x 57mm, the lightest FOREO here; Smaller spheres aimed at jawline and puffiness work; Battery operated with a silicone body Cons: Three intensities against the Bear's five; 4.1 stars, behind three cheaper devices in this list; Shows the same 1,657 ratings as the £229 Bear; Smallest treatment area of any handheld device here ### 7. INIA Flare Microcurrent Facial Massager with Red Light - Price: £99.99 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 165 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-microcurrent-facial-devices/inia-flare-microcurrent-facial-massager - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GRGP1258?tag=ranked10-21 A joint-highest five-star share of 79% from 165 ratings, with three modes and an articulating head built for face and neck. 79% of its 165 ratings are five-star and 8% are one-star — the same five-star share as the £62.49 iAURA roller, but from a larger sample. It is also the only device in this list that pairs adjustable intensity levels with a head designed to follow the jaw and neck. In practice there are three modes. LIFT combines vibration and red light for contouring, TIGHTEN uses red light and gentle vibration for firmness, and INFUSE+ adds negative ions and electroporation for product absorption. A hydrating gel is included and the head is described as flexible and articulating. At 230g it is heavier than the FOREO units but well under the 540g Booster Pro X2. This is sold as a microcurrent device for face and neck, which matters if you intended to treat below the jawline. The catch is the sample. 165 ratings is roughly a fifth of the medicube original's total, so the 4.5 stars carry more uncertainty than the medicube's 4.4. If you want the biggest evidence base, look above. If you want a mid-price unit with a neck-friendly head, it is here. Pros: 79% five-star from 165 ratings, with only 8% one-star; Three modes: LIFT, TIGHTEN and INFUSE+; Flexible articulating head designed for face and neck; Adjustable intensity levels; Hydrating gel included at £99.99 Cons: 165 ratings — roughly a fifth of the medicube Booster Pro's total; 230g, heavier than any FOREO in this list; Cheaper options exist at £62.49 and £80; No battery capacity or runtime stated ### 8. iAURA LUX Microcurrent 3D Facial Roller, Pearl White - Price: £62.49 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 113 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-microcurrent-facial-devices/iaura-lux-microcurrent-3d-roller - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BYGCWSRM?tag=ranked10-21 The cheapest device in this top ten at £62.49, with 4.5 stars from 113 ratings and 79% of them five-star. It is the cheapest at-home microcurrent device here at £62.49 and its distribution is tight: 79% five-star, 10% four-star, 4% three-star, 7% one-star, from 113 ratings. That is still only 113 people — but the shape of the split is closer to the 6,934-rating medicube than the 4.1-star FOREOs are. In practice this is a roller, not a probe device. The listing says it improves muscle tone, increases product penetration, boosts circulation and reduces puffiness through lymphatic drainage. It runs on a rechargeable lithium polymer battery. Note the box contents field lists only a manual, while the battery field states a lithium polymer battery is included — both cannot be the full picture. Even so, the pressure is entirely yours. There are no programmes and no intensity settings, so results depend on technique rather than on fixed output. If you want set intensities and automatic adjustment, this is not it. If you want the lowest entry price in the list, it is. Pros: £62.49, the cheapest device in this top ten; 79% five-star from 113 ratings; Rechargeable lithium polymer battery included; 150g and 10.7 x 5.3 x 6.2cm Cons: 113 ratings — the second-smallest sample here; Box contents field lists only a manual, yet a battery is stated as included; No intensity settings or programmes; pressure is entirely manual; 7% of ratings are one-star ### 9. Magnitone Pebble Pro Facial Toning Device with Microcurrent, Red - Price: £72.00 | Amazon rating: 4.1 from 32 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-microcurrent-facial-devices/magnitone-pebble-pro - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FCYL5WR6?tag=ranked10-21 The only device here where four-star ratings (39%) outnumber five-star (38%) — from just 32 ratings. This is the clearest example of a microcurrent facial device listing where the average hides its own shape. The score is 4.1 stars, but 39% of the 32 ratings are four-star and 38% are five-star, with 17% at three-star and 6% at two-star. Only 32 people have rated it, the smallest sample in this top ten by a distance. In practice you get a lot of specification for £72. It claims microcurrent for lifting and firming in 10-minute daily sessions, plus three LED wavelengths: 850nm near-infrared, 660nm red and 460nm blue. The body is aluminium, plastic and stainless steel, it weighs 260g, and it is listed as suitable for sensitive and oily skin. For a microcurrent facial toning device at this price, the light-therapy detail is unusually specific. Even so, 32 ratings is not a sample you can lean on. If you want a score backed by hundreds of reviews, the £62.49 roller or the £80 medicube are closer. Buy this one for the three wavelengths and the 10-minute routine, not for the 4.1. Pros: £72 for microcurrent plus three LED wavelengths (850nm, 660nm, 460nm); 260g in aluminium, plastic and stainless steel; Listed as suitable for sensitive and oily skin; Stated 10-minute daily routine Cons: 32 ratings — the smallest sample in this top ten; 39% of ratings are four-star, outnumbering five-star at 38%; 4.1 stars is below the four 4.5-star devices here; No intensity levels stated in the listing ### 10. 7e Wellness MyoLift TriWave Microcurrent Kit - Price: £589.00 | Amazon rating: 4.0 from 54 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-microcurrent-facial-devices/7e-wellness-myolift-triwave - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FJ8V3F7B?tag=ranked10-21 The most expensive device here by £280 and the only one at 4.0 stars — a full kit with masks, probes and gel. At £589 it is £280 more than the next most expensive device in this list, and it carries the lowest score: 4.0 stars from 54 ratings. Meanwhile 41% of those ratings are four-star and 35% are five-star, with 15% at three-star and 9% at two-star. No one-star ratings at all, and no five-star majority either. In practice this is a kit rather than a handheld. It arrives with the device, forehead, eye and lip microcurrent masks, 4oz of conductive gel and a 2oz spritzer, applicator probes, charger and lead wire. It is corded, and the packaged weight is 1.7kg. The listing is unusually direct about conductivity: you should feel a gentle tingling, tightening or muscle pulsing, and if you do not, apply more gel. That is the clearest instruction on how to tell the thing is working in this whole top ten. That said, 54 ratings is a small sample for the biggest spend here, and 24% of them sit at three-star or below. If you want a professional-style kit with masks and probes, this is the only one in the list. If you want something you can hold in one hand for five minutes a day, £589 buys a lot of alternatives. Pros: Complete kit: masks, probes, conductive gel and spritzer included; No one-star ratings among the 54; Corded power, so no battery to run down; Listing explains how to check conductivity with gel Cons: £589 — £280 more than the next most expensive device here; 4.0 stars, the lowest score in this top ten; 54 ratings for the biggest spend in the list; 1.7kg packaged and corded, so not portable ## Verdict For most people the medicube Booster Pro at £103.37 is the sensible buy: 6,934 ratings with 75% of them five-star is the largest evidence base in this top ten, and it is the cheapest device here with a four-figure sample. If you want the best microcurrent facial device for jawline work and can live with a smaller sample, the Bear Mini at £159 has 1,657 ratings behind it, though it shares every one of those ratings with the £70 dearer Bear. Meanwhile, if you simply want to spend the least, the LUX 3D roller at £62.49 is the cheapest microcurrent facial device in this list, and the medicube Mini at £80 is the easier first step for a five-minute daily routine.
