When I was first introduced to the Le Mieux Skin Perfecter, it sounded like the coolest little high-tech skincare device…I was definitely intrigued! I’ve never seen or experienced anything like it before but the skincare fanatic in me couldn’t say no to the promise of perfect looking skin 🙂
The Skin Perfecter is an innovative ultrasonic, “do-it-yourself” handheld beauty tool that goes beyond ordinary cleansing by combining four skin-perfecting treatments into one – its micro-massage action works to gently deep cleanse, exfoliate, extract, and infuse skincare serums and other topical treatments.
Resonating at an amazing 28,000 vibrations per second, the Skin Perfecter gently glides over wet skin, producing ultrasonic waves that pulverize water, creating micronized particles that deep cleanse pores of excess oil and impurities, gently remove cellular buildup using non-abrasive micro-exfoliation, extract blackheads and whiteheads, reduce the look of enlarged pores, and resurface lines and wrinkles. As an added benefit, its pulsating ultrasonic waves accelerate the absorption of serums and other skincare products, producing far more effective results than massaging products into the skin by hand.
How to use the Le Mieux Skin Perfecter
The device comes with complete, easy to follow instrcutions and you’ll quickly get the hang of it after using it a few times. The Skin Perfecter is designed to be used on clean, wet skin. So, you first need to wet your face and neck thoroughly, not just slightly damp. Turn on the Skin Perfecter and hit the Mode button twice until the ‘HI’ setting is green. For deep cleansing, extraction and exfoliation, hold the device with the tip of the spatula angled down and glide the spatula from the center of the face, moving outward. Bes sure to keep the skin wet (if the skin gets dry, simply re-wet it with a cotton pad and water), and always move the Skin Perfecter outward and upward.
To infuse serums or skincare treatments, apply product to the face and neck. Turn on the Skin Perfecter on and hit the Mode button 3 times until both ‘HI’ and ‘Pulse’ are green. Hold the device with the tip of the spatula flat against the skin. Gently glide the spatula outward and upward over the face and neck. When finished, turn off the device, clean the spatula with an alcohol-saturated cotton pad, and store in a cool, dry place.

My experience with Le Mieux Skin Perfecter
When I first started using the device, I was a bit hesitant thinking how the 28,000 ultrasonic vibrations per second would feel on my skin. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn’t unplesant at all and didn’t hurt or leave my skin red or irritated afterwards. If you have really sensitive skin, you can start with the LO setting and then move on to the HI when you feel comfortable. Yes, the sensation does feel a bit strange but the vibrations are gentle and it’s really cool to see the water pulverized into fine mist! (that means it’s cleansing the residual makeup, dirt and impurities).
After using the Le Mieux Skin Perfecter for about a month now, the most significant difference I’ve seen is in the appearance of my blackheads and also breakouts. My nose area looks and feels smoother as there are much less blackheads. Other than that, I’ve definitely noticed an overall improvement in the smoothness and clarity of my skin, although there hasn’t been a huge difference in the appearance of my fine lines and pores yet. Another thing worth mentioning is that I’ve had very few breakouts since I started using the Skin Perfecter.
I really like that the Skin Perfecter is rechargeable (it comes with a DC power supply adapter), lightweight, portable, and never requires replacement brushes, cartridges, or discs. It’s incredibly simple and convenient –just 3 steps, 3 minutes, 3 times a week is all you need! Although quite expensive a $225, the Skin Perfecter is worth the investment if you really want to amp your skincare routine!
The Skin Perfecter retails for $225.00 at skinperfecter.com, at select salons & spas and also at QVC (for $189).
