For the past two years,
For the past two years, I was a dedicated ZIIP Halo user, but due to increasing technical issues with their app connectivity, I decided to try Magnitone.
As someone who is very committed to a strict skincare routine, I wanted to share my experience comparing the two:
What I Love:
The Price Point: Your device is much more accessible and budget-friendly, which I really appreciate.
Current Strength: I’ve found the current on the Magnitone to be noticeably stronger than the ZIIP. This is a huge plus for me as I can really feel the device working.
Standalone Use: I am relieved to have a device that works reliably without being dependent on a glitchy app.
Areas for Improvement:
I have encountered a few design hurdles during my daily use:
Button Sensitivity & Placement: Because I prefer to hold the device around the body rather than using the finger ring, I constantly find myself accidentally hitting the buttons. I often unintentionally turn the device off or change the intensity settings mid-treatment.
The Finger Ring & Hygiene: I find using the ring feels a bit unhygienic, as my other fingers naturally tend to touch my face during the process.
Cleaning: The gap between the globes is quite narrow and deep, making it very difficult to clean out leftover conductive gel.
Overall, I am very happy with the results and the value, but I wanted to share these ergonomic notes in case they are helpful for future product developments.
