Best derma rollers for smooth, glowing skin at home (2023)

If you haven’t heard of FACEGYM yet, then you’re definitely missing out. Don’t be fooled by its name: there are no strenuous exercises necessary here. Instead, FACEGYM works to stimulate the muscles in your face with varying massages and manoeuvres.

If you want to replicate its methods at home, you’ll love the brand’s Faceshot Electric Microneedling Device: a premium derma roller that harnesses microneedling techniques so you can achieve studio-standard results at home.

Each of its single-use ‘Microneedle’ cartridges are made from medical-grade stainless steel and they deliver the brand’s ‘Liquid Vitamins’ treatment deep into the skin with minimal invasion. Expect a smoother texture and tone as well as reduced hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles.

Beauty Bio wasn’t exaggerating when it called this derma roller a “Regeneration” tool. One of the most popular derma rollers in the business, it makes good use of GloPRO’s patented technology to stimulate your skin’s natural healing response.

That micro-rejuvenation powers deep within the skin for a visibly firmer, smoother and younger-looking appearance: it ticks all the boxes in a matter of mere minutes. This youth-promoting tool can be used alone or alongside a range of anti-ageing skincare products and helps to increase the efficiency of them for doubly impressive results.

New to derma rollers or want to dip your toe before investing in a luxury roller? Try Brushworks’ HD Micro Needle Derma Roller. This budget friendly roller is a great introductory product that allows you to test the waters with smaller needles.

A great choice particularly for those with enlarged pores, Brushworks’ derma roller uses 0.5mm needles to stimulate the skin to encourage a radiant appearance: perfect for those concerned with fine lines or textural irregularities. Use it just a few times with your favourite serum and you’ll be converted.

Oliviere Wilson’s Microneedling Face Tool was designed as an introduction to the derma rolling world with tiny 0.3mm needles that do the job of firming, tightening and smoothing skin without too much pain.

This gentle face tool is renowned for its ability to enhance luminosity and rejuvenate the skin and only needs to be used twice a week. By stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, it helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its 540 ultra fine titanium needles ensure your face feels beautifully soft after a few uses.

A derma roller is great for tackling your face as a whole but if you’re more concerned about specific areas then you’ll want something a little smaller. Enter: the derma pen.

Suitable for activating skin cells, promoting collagen regeneration and repairing without pulling the skin, this pen gets deep into sensitive areas of skin that may be difficult to treat with laser or with a larger roller.

While it excels on areas around the mouth and nose, it’s also designed to work on other body parts such as the face, forehead, head, neck, chin and scalp: an all rounder.

Sarah Chapman’s Meso-Melt Infusion roller works a little differently to your usual derma roller. Looking a little more like a jade roller than a derma roller, it comes with three needling tips and three ampoules of the Meso-Melt Pep⁸ Stem Cell Serum.

The result? A healthy and glowing complexion that feels silky soft more than ever before. It’s a great choice for beginners as, once the needles have fully dissolved, the treatment is complete: there’s no stress of overuse here.

What's more impressive than a standalone derma roller? A derma roller that incorporates light into its magic. Dr. Russo's Red LED Pulsating Derma roller is a brilliant example of the latter, fusing together an at-home micro-needling device that stimulates skin’s circulation while simultaneously promoting skin density through its red light.

This sleek device features 540 super-fine needles that gently prick your skin as the device glides and rolls over your skin. Red light therapy is reported to reduce wrinkles, scars, redness and acne making this derma roller doubly beneficial.

If you've been concerned over wrinkles or lines especially around your mouth, you'll probably find a derma roller like Spotlight's Oral Care Smile Rejuvenation System most helpful.

Designed specifically for this part of the face, this small but handy roller helps to smooth frown lines, jowls, furrows and sagging cheeks while making your lips appear a little plumper at the same time.

Offering quite literally the full package, it includes a serum and a lip mask to enhance the plumping effect as well as a promise to have noticeable results in four weeks.

Nurysh's DEEP + UNIQ Anti Aging & Skin Renewal Derma Pen Kit explains that you'll see results within 30 days of using its kit regularly and brings together everything you need in one handy package.

Taking a two in one approach, it combines micro pins to safely condition the uppermost layer of the skin and then digs in deep with its serum: a powerful combination of vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. Its 24k gold plated, titanium steel derma pin length is approved by dermatologists and, at only 0.25mm per needle, is a great introductory length for first timers.
