There is definitely a learning curve to using this. It has great suction and at 3 levels. You have to figure out how not to keep it in one place for too long or it can cause a "hickey" effect, which I achieved on my forehead. On the plus side, it seems to be made well, is comfortable and easy to handle, charges quickly and brings many blemishes to the surface or close to it. It comes in really nice, chic packaging as well. It's enhanced my face picking to a whole new level LOL
