FOREO BEAR 2

Waterproof silicone microcurrent device with up to 680 microamps, four current types and T-Sonic massage - no proprietary gel needed.

4.1 / 5
Highly recommended

Strengths

  • Higher stated output than most rivals, auto-moderated by the Anti-Shock system
  • No proprietary gel - any water-based serum conducts, cutting running costs
  • Waterproof, easy-clean silicone build with excellent battery life

Watch outs

  • Full intensity range and patterns are locked behind the app
  • Very short sessions may deliver less cumulative exposure than longer NuFACE-style routines
  • A competitor-authored critique argues flat electrodes and fixed frequencies limit deep-muscle effect (bias noted)
  • Max output Up to 680 microamps
  • Microcurrent types 4 (Advanced, Lifting, Tapping, Sculpting Microcurrent)
  • Intensity levels 10 (1-5 on-device Beginner Mode; 6-10 via the FOREO app Pro Mode)
  • Safety Anti-Shock System 2.0 - measures skin 200x per second and auto-adjusts current
