The viral Shark facial gadget promising spa-style results in 10 minutes is now £60 cheaper

Facials can be a lovely way to give your skin some extra attention, but regular treatments can quickly become an expensive habit. Shark is offering a rather different approach with its viral FacialPro Glow.

This is an at-home skincare device designed to combine pore extraction, hydration and temperature-based sculpting in one routine. Right now, the Shark FacialPro Glow is £239.99, down 20% from its £299.99 RRP, meaning shoppers can save £60 while all three colours are included in the deal. That’s the lowest Amazon price for 30 days.

Described by Shark as the UK's first at-home facial, FacialPro Glow is designed to bring several stages of a professional-style facial together in one 10-minute routine. The five-step system covers cleansing, extraction, hydration, Glow and Depuff, giving it a rather different proposition to a standard skincare gadget.

One of the standout features is DePuffi, which uses hot and cold temperature therapy alongside a Gua Sha-inspired shape designed to glide across the skin. The Shark device has six temperature levels, ranging from cooling temperatures of up to 10°C to heating of up to 42°C, with the brand positioning the hot-and-cold contrast as a way to depuff and contour.

That temperature-sculpting element is also the part that appears to have made a particularly strong impression on one five-star reviewer. They admitted they had never been someone who spent much money on “lotions and potions” or spa treatments, but decided to try the FacialPro Glow after feeling their skin needed some extra TLC.

“The depuffi part is my favourite bit,” they wrote, describing it as “so relaxing”. They also said the pore extraction function was easy to use when following the included instructions, while the battery life was sufficient for their routine of using DePuffi for seven days and an extraction once a week.

Pore extraction is another key part of this Shark facial device, with the system designed to help tackle congestion as part of the wider routine. The same reviewer said they felt their pores were already less congested, although individual results will naturally vary.

The device is also designed to boost hydration, with Shark reporting a 128% increase in hydration after one use based on a clinical study involving 60 subjects. That is an immediate-use result from the brand's study rather than a guarantee of what every user will experience, but it helps explain the focus on hydration alongside extraction and temperature therapy.

FacialPro Glow was developed with dermatologists and created in Shark's Korean lab, with the system intended to work alongside the brand's high-performance skincare products. The five-step approach means it is designed to be more than simply a pore extractor or facial massager.

There is one caveat worth knowing before buying. The five-star reviewer praised the device but said the Shark skincare products needed for the routine felt “a bit pricey” for what you get. They felt that if someone regularly pays for professional facials, however, the FacialPro Glow could potentially offer better value over time.

The reviewer also said they were pleased they had splashed out on the device, despite their initial hesitation. With the Shark FacialPro Glow now £60 cheaper at £239.99, it could be an interesting option for anyone who likes the idea of a facial-style routine at home but wants more technology than a traditional skincare product can provide.

All three colours, lilac, spa blue and warm black, are included in the current deal, so you can choose the finish that best suits your bathroom shelf. The saving is available as part of a limited time offer, making this Shark skincare gadget one to consider if you've been tempted by the at-home facial trend but haven't wanted to commit to regular salon appointments.
