If you've got your eye on all these at-home skin-tightening devices promising to lift and snatch your face, but you have no idea which ones actually work, I tested pretty much every one so you don't have to. I'm 49, I've never had a facelift, and I've spent tens of thousands of dollars figuring out which at-home devices are worth the money, which are a total waste, and the $6,000 one I'd never buy again.

This one is for every woman who keeps getting told to just age gracefully and accept it. I'm a skincare founder and a certified clinical nutritionist, and I've spent $1.3 million figuring out what actually works on a face, including a vanity full of at-home devices I bought so you don't have to.
First, I get into the one mistake that makes women waste the most money, which is shopping for a device before you know what you're actually trying to fix, and why the device that improves your skin is not the one that lifts your face. Then I walk you through every category I've tested- microcurrent, red light, radiofrequency, at-home lasers, and microneedling, and I tell you exactly which bucket each one lands in and what it's actually worth using for.
Then I get to the part you came for. The $6,000 device I'd skip in a heartbeat, the one I'd never use on my own face, the melasma warning nobody gave me before I started, and if you took every device I own tonight, the only three I'd buy again tomorrow.
