Rank #2 in Best Microcurrent Facial Device 2026: 10 Ranked, Rating Counts Compared
FOREO Bear Smart Microcurrent Face Device, Fuchsia
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The FOREO Bear is a silicone microcurrent facial toning device, second in this top ten of microcurrent facial devices. The listing prices it at £229, names the brand as FOREO and the model as Foreo Bear, and describes it as an app-connected microcurrent facial toning device with two microcurrent spheres and five microcurrent intensities. It is battery powered and the specification field gives the colour as pink.
Almost everything worth knowing here is in the numbers, and the numbers repeat themselves. The Bear shows 1,657 ratings at 4.1 stars, split 62% five-star, 15% four-star, 9% three-star, 4% two-star and 10% one-star. The FOREO Bear Mini — a different device, £159 — displays the same 1,657 ratings, the same 4.1 stars and the same split, percentage for percentage. Two tools £70 apart, one identical set of figures. It is worth reading which reviews sit on this page too: two of the six supplied with the listing are written about the Bear Mini rather than the £229 Bear. The title promises an "immediately visible" face lift, while the reviews reproduced here say you have to keep at it and be consistent to see results. Treat the rating as a figure for the listing, not proof about one device. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as it stands, not from our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I love the Foreo Bear Mini! I originally bought it to help with an uneven side of my face caused by how I sleep, and it's made a noticeable difference. You do need to be consistent with it to see results but when I was using it regularly, it worked really well.The microcurrent feels a bit zappy at first, but you get used to it quickly. It also helped improve my acne and overall skin texture, which was a nice bonus. The mobile app can be a little frustrating at times, but once you get the hang of it, it's manageable.”
Verified purchase“I have been using the Foreo Bear mini for more than 9 months and i can definitely see the difference. I bought it especially for the area around my jawline and chin and after this period, i can say that my skin is tighter around those areas.i used it every night in the beginning, for 3 minutes on my whole face. now, i am down to 3-4 nights a week, because i alternate with other products.One thing that i noticed is that it pinches quite bad if you have a pimple under the skin, so i stopped using it around my period, because my skin is more sensitive.Its compact, so its easy to take it with you when you travel, which i do, all the time.Happy with the purchase - definitely recommend if you want to start on this journey.”

Questions people ask
Does the FOREO Bear really have 1,657 ratings?
That is what the listing displays — 1,657 ratings at 4.1 stars — and the £159 FOREO Bear Mini displays the same 1,657 ratings, the same 4.1 stars and the same 62/15/9/4/10 percentage split, so the figure is not unique to the £229 device.
How many microcurrent intensities does the FOREO Bear have?
Five. The listing also describes an anti-shock system that scans and measures the skin's resistance to electricity and adjusts the microcurrent intensity automatically.
What is in the box with the FOREO Bear?
The listing's included components field says "Face Massager", and the unit count is given as 1.0 count. Nothing else is listed.
What colour is the FOREO Bear?
The product title says Fuchsia, while the specification field lists the colour as pink. They describe the same device on the same page.
How is the FOREO Bear powered?
The listing gives the power source as battery powered and lists a voltage of 500 millivolts, which is what the specification field says rather than a figure we have measured.
What do the reviews on the listing report?
Reviewers submitted with the listing report visible change: one describes a small line between the eyebrows disappearing after a month, another reports tighter skin around the jawline after more than nine months of use on the Bear Mini.
