FOREO
Iris Eye Massager (available in many colours, via Zalora), U.P. SGD149

If you're looking for a solution to your stubborn eyebags, dark circles or puffiness, give the FOREO Iris a go. This ophthalmologist-approved eye massage device has two modes: the Pure Mode (mimics an actual manual massage) and the Spa Mode (replicates a professional spa treatment), inspired by the finger-tapping eye massage technique made famous by Asian beauty rituals. Use them with your favourite eye cream for maximum absorption - you'll wake up to fresher, younger-looking peepers in no time.

FOREO
LUNA 2 For Sensitive Skin (available in many colours, via Zalora), SGD319

If you find that manual cleaning devices agitate your skin, you'll appreciate the LUNA 2 For Sensitive Skin by Foreo. This highly-raved device has specially developed not just for all skin types, but especially for sensitive skin. This dual-sided device, which comes with an anti-ageing function, boasts of an ergonomic, waterproof design (perfect for using in the shower!), and a high quality silicone surface that does not feel abrasive on the skin. The numbers clearly don't lie: its pulsations help to effectively slough away 99.5% of dirt and makeup from your face, leaving you with a brighter, clearer complexion.

Ya-Man
RF Beaute Photo-Plus (via Tangs), SGD485.10 (U.P. SGD539)

This handy 5-in-1 gadget targets a myriad of skin concerns from dehydration to anti-ageing. Some of its noteworthy functions include an electrical muscle stimulation, LED to spot treat fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging; so it comes as no surprise that it's a bestseller in Japan. It's a splurge, but if you're willing to fork out the dollars in the name of youthful skin, then why not?

ReFa
ReFa CARAT, SGD330

If you've ever walked out of a facial wishing you could replicate that kneading motion of your aesthetician on yourself, good news: now you can. The ReFa Carat is a hand-held rolling gadget that you can use on both your face and body to stimulate tired and stressed skin. True to ReFa's philosophy of bringing an at-home spa experience, it's designed to mimic the effective deep kneading facial massage techniques used in spa sessions. The device is an architectural perfection: it features a unique 360-degree multi-angle design that boosts circulation, firms your skin and even improves your skin tone. Use it regularly to improve the skin along your jawline, neck, and face - even your waist, inner thighs, underarm and chest!

ReFa
ReFa CLEAR, SGD330

Just when we thought manual cleaning devices were too harsh on our skin, the ReFa Clear completely changed the game for us. This gentle yet effective face cleansing device lets you choose from three cleaning modes: soft, clean and deep (listed in ascending levels of intensity). We find the 'clean' mode to deliver the perfect cleanse after a long day of wearing makeup, and the 'deep' mode effective for an exfoliating session once or twice a week. Just after a week's use, we found our pores to appear less clogged and skin texture greatly improved. The fact that its vibrations provided the best early morning facial massage was a major plus!
