It’s powered by both microcurrent and nanocurrent waveforms — designed to treat the skin on a cellular level. Essentially, the microcurrent is aimed to deliver a near-instant toning and lifting effect by gently stimulating the facial muscles, while the subtle nanocurrent works deeper to stimulate ATP production (the vital energy source responsible for healthy skin cell function).

To get started, I went ahead and downloaded the ZIIP app, which allows you to make use of various plans, depending on your goals and preferred level of intensity. From the 6-minute “Instant Gratification” treatment that promises to deliver an immediate glow and lifting effect to “Brow Lift”, “Plump” and “De-Puff” options, there’s no shortage of ways to customise your at-home facials as you see fit. I love that once you select your preferred treatment, the device links automatically, and you follow a guided step-by-step video until the timer runs out – the whole experience is totally seamless (even for beginners).

GLAMOUR Road Test: My experience using the ZIIP Halo

After applying a generous layer of the ZIIP Electric Complex Gel, I selected the “Brow Lift” option, which lasts a total of three minutes. Right off the bat, I was pleased by how gentle the currents felt — there’s a slight tingle, but nothing uncomfortable. Initially, I was worried that my sensitive skin wouldn’t be a great fit for this, but I’m glad to confirm that I didn’t experience any flare-ups or irritation whatsoever.

What’s more, I loved how relaxing the whole process was from start to finish. The globes added a nice cooling sensation, and with varied pressure applied onto the skin, the facial massage felt nice and soothing on the skin (which is probably why I opted to use the tool as part of my nighttime skincare regimen).

I also opted for the “Best Skin Of Your Life In 30 Days” plan, which included various treatments while accounting for rest days. Committing to this plan meant that I didn’t have to overwhelm myself with the sheer pressure of having to pick treatments from a menu — all I had to do was to set reminders for myself to actually go through with each session. This plan focused on everything from glow-boosting treatments to those that were focused on specific areas such as eyes, brows and jowls.
