Overall, the King Vic bar roller makes a high-quality impression and is comfortable to hold. It is easy to use . Using it on the face takes some getting used to at first but is not very painful.
For safe use, it is advisable to clean the roller head before each use. It is then rolled vertically, horizontally and diagonally approx. 5-10 times over the beard areas to be treated. The micro-needles of the roller cause microscopic injuries to the skin under the beard, which stimulates skin regeneration. This allows the skin to better absorb beard care products such as beard oils or beard serums, as these penetrate deep into the follicles and promote the growth of new beard hair.
The King Vic beard roller has an optimum needle length that is ideal for beginners. No negative reactions have been observed, even with sensitive skin .
The product corresponds to the description and offers good value for money. Visible results only appear after a few weeks .
Overall, the beard roller has met expectations. It is easy to use, sits comfortably in the hand and does not cause any pain.
