When it comes to skincare, we’re not short of options. Retinol, exfoliants, facials, lasers - all great. But  each have their limits.

If you haven’t tried microneedling, you might be missing one of the most transformative steps you can add to your routine. It reaches where other treatments cant. 

It boosts collagen production and enhances product absorption by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin. It’s one of the most transformative (and underrated) steps you can add to your routine.

Here’s how microneedling stacks up against the other skincare you’re already using.

Retinol:

·      Speeds up cell turnover.

·      Can be irritating, especially for sensitive skin.

·      Takes time to show results.

·      ✨ Microneedling works really well with retinol - think of it as prepping the canvas so retinol can work more effectively (just make sure to not use retinols or actives on the same night as you microneedle).

Exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs):

·      Buff away dead skin and unclog pores.

·      Only works on the surface.

·      ✨ Microneedling goes deeper to trigger regeneration, not just exfoliation. The result? Smoother, stronger skin from the inside out.

Facials:

·      Hydrate, cleanse, and nourish.

·      Results can be short-lived, unless regularly maintained.

·      ✨ Microneedling offers longer-term changes to your skin texture and tone. Facials give glow, microneedling gives lasting transformation.

Lasers:

·      Great for pigmentation, scarring and deeper lines.

·      Expensive, requires downtime and appointments.

·      ✨Microneedling is the more affordable, at-home-friendly alternative. No redness for days. No big bills. Just consistent, visible results.

So, Why Microneedling?

Because it does what other treatments can’t. It stimulates collagen, enhances product absorption, smooths texture and strengthens your skin - all from the comfort of home.

But here’s the best part: you don’t need to overhaul your routine or replace your favourite treatments. Microneedling is designed to work with the products you already love, making every serum, every active, every treatment, work harder.

Bowie Tip:
Apply your serum of choice within the 1–2 hour post-roll window (we recommend our Chill Serum) to make the most of your glow-up window. It’s the ultimate way to maximise your results.

Microneedling isn’t here to compete - it’s here to elevate.
