The ZIIP Nano is a handheld electrical skincare device that uses small, energetic vibrations that are pushed into the skin through positively and negatively charged discs on the bottom of the device.

ZIIP claims to improve skin through it’s many treatments such as reducing blemishes, wrinkles and puffiness, or sculpting areas of your face. The ZIIP offers six treatments in total: Engergize, Sensitive Energize, Vitaleyes, Instant Gratification, Total Clearing and Men’s Treatment (I think this treatment plays heavy metal and smells like beer so it doesn’t harm your masculinity).

These treatments are only available through ZIIP’s supporting iPhone/iPad app (connecting to the device via Bluetooth). Hopefully the ZIIP will eventually be compatible with Android, but we will have to wait and see.

The ZIIP is easy to use. It comes with a USB charger but only a US plug (a small UK adaptor would obviously be more useful), so I charged it off my phone charger. After charging, I applied the included Golden Conductor Gel to my skin, and then administered the treatment with the the device. The device should only ever be sued where the conductor gel is applied, which looks and feels like the type of gel they use during ultrasound exams, but smells lovely and wipes off easily. When activating the device, you feel a tingling feeling a bit like pins and needles - it’s not at all painful, but feels a bit strange at first. Due to the metal conductors, it is quite cold against the skin, which feels refreshing in itself.

The ZIIP will automatically provide the right currant for the right amount of time, and will vibrate and flash to let you know when it is time to move it to another position.  Every movement is prompted making the device so simple to use. Depending on the treatment you select, ZIIP recommends you use this 1-3 times a week to see results. Personally, I saw results instantly, especially under my eyes, and my skin looked brighter and plumper. However, after about 15 minutes it had returned to its normal look.

After a few weeks of use I hadn’t noticed any spectacular changes, but I must admit I did look forward to using it, as the treatments felt nice. ZIIP reassured me the results are much more noticeable when used consistently over time. However, for the price the ZIIP costs (over £100 for a replacement gel) and the fact that you will miss out on all the extra treatments if you don’t have an iOS device, I think a lot of people could be put off. RRP $495
