Wasted $200 on a microcurrent device I barely touch now

I fell for all those Instagram ads. Bought a NuFace mini 8 months ago. Used it maybe 5 times total. It just sat on my counter collecting dust. The real issue is it takes 15 minutes every day. And you have to use their special gel. That stuff is expensive and runs out fast. I realized a good gua sha routine gives me similar results for free. Plus no batteries or charging. Anyone else regret a pricey at-home device?

The NuFace mini and I had a very expensive breakup after 4 uses (three of which were just me testing if it was still charged). I swear that special gel costs more per ounce than my actual skincare products, and it dries out so fast you have to reapply mid-routine. My gua sha stone has never ghosted me, and it doesn't need a dedicated outlet in the bathroom.

I actually loved mine - the gel thing is real but aloe vera works just fine as a cheap swap.
