PRODUCT REVIEW: BIOTOC MEDI NANOPEN PRO – BEST MICRO-NEEDLING DEVICE FOR MORE YOUTHFUL SKIN

BIOTOC | MEDI NANOPEN PRO + 3X CROSS-LINK AMPOULE

If you missed my #selfcaresunday video on my IGTV yesterday, be sure to check it out here.

I featured new innovations I’ve been exploring from indie Korean skincare brand, BIOTOC.

Among the brand’s new offerings is a wildly futuristic micro-needling device that I couldn’t wait to play with the second I opened the package from Seoul.

That’s a different response from me because I haven’t been a big fan of micro-needling and especially those insane, cheap derma-rollers you can get on Amazon for about $10. In fact, that was my only experience with micro-needling until the BIOTOC technology.

The BIOTOC Medi Nanopen Pro is one of the coolest skincare devices I’ve come across. And unlike a derma-roller, it doesn’t hurt one bit. It’s not the least bit uncomfortable, as I’d initially expected it to be.

The BIOTOC set comes with a series of freshly activated serums that sync perfectly with the Nanopen. The 3x Cross-Link Ampoule serum is a dual-phase product and antioxidant powerhouse infused with pure Vitamin C and Astaxanthin, two of the most potent antioxidants for the skin and the body overall.

Fresh activation is everything when it comes to skin care — and especially sensitive antioxidants. And, the 3x Cross-Link Ampoule serum is the perfect treatment to use with a micro-needling device like the Nanopen.

I’m just getting into a regular weekly rhythm with the BIOTOC Nanopen and plan to keep reporting on what I experience with it.

Just how cool and futuristic is it? Well, I imagine Uhura using her Nanopen on the Starship Enterprise while she’s chillin in her cabin on selfcare Sunday. Hah!

Be sure to check out my IGTV to see Biotoc in action.

I’m out. Beam me up, Scotty!
