The scar roller from the MAMMACITA brand is a dermaroller that can be used to treat scars.
The microneedles on the surface of the product ensure that tiny punctures are made in the skin’s surface to help moisturise the skin faster and remove excess collagen fibres.
In addition to scar care, the scar roller can also be used for facial treatment – according to the manufacturer, the product has a nourishing effect on the skin. The scar roller is also suitable for stretch marks .
The ergonomically designed product with a long handle was developed by skin care experts and is made of plastic . According to the seller, plastic was used instead of metal, for example, as the latter is too hard for scar care and therefore not as suitable.
In terms of application, the product is convincing – after cleaning, it is immediately ready for use and the desired areas can be treated straight away. After treatment, it is advisable to apply a care product . The MAMMACITA brand offers a supplementary product made from St John’s wort oil that can be used in conjunction with the scar roller .
Overall, it is a well thought-out and very useful product that can be used in a variety of ways to reduce scars or for everyday facial treatments.
Advantages
- Plastic microneedles for scar care

The design of the scar roller from MAMMACITA is very simple and appealing at the same time. The roller is made of white plastic.
When you pick up the product for the first time, you notice that it has a very handy design and that you can easily apply the product to a wide variety of body surfaces thanks to the small roller , which is just over 2 cm in size, and the long, ergonomic handle .
The workmanship makes a good first impression, the individual components are well attached and the handle of the product also appears very stable.

The scar roller from MAMMACITA was subjected to a practical test as a dermaroller on the face and on a scar on the arm.
It is easy to use and if there are any questions,detailed information can be found on the seller’s website behind the QR code on the product packaging.
The ergonomic handle sits comfortably in the hand and the product glides easily over the desired area. The roller’s microneedles leave a pleasant feeling on the skin .
The fact that the product is made of plastic is a positive aspect. The roller, which is significantly less hard than materials such as metal, is easy to guide over the skin. Nevertheless, the lower hardness of the plastic is convincing overall.
In terms of cleaning and care, more detailed information from the seller would have been necessary. Although the packaging states that the scar roller should be cleaned before each use , there is no information on exactly how to clean it effectively . It would be desirable to add appropriate recommendations to the product.
The roller and the microneedles hardly give at all and make a very robust impression during use.
Overall, it is a well thought-out and high-quality product developed by a midwife that can contribute to scar care and can also be used in the areas of facial care and stretch marks .

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.4 stars. In individual cases , there are complaints that the product is OK, but that it squeaks when used. On the other hand, the ease of use and the positive treatment effect of the product are emphasised positively . In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the microneedles on the roller have a very pleasant effect on the skin. We did not notice any squeaking when using the product in our practical test.
Prices of up to €17.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €8 . The scar roller from MAMMACITA is therefore currently in the higher price segment with a price of €19.90. The price-performance ratio is reasonable for the quality and performance received.
