BEAR™ mini overview
Meet BEAR™ mini - the smart microcurrent facial toning device that combines precision microcurrent and T-Sonic™ pulsations, to give you firmer-looking skin and a youthful glow in minutes!
BEAR™ mini can be used as part of your daily morning or evening skincare routine. Choose from a variety of app-guided facial fitness workouts that use 3 adjustable intensities of microcurrent to recharge skin and help diminish visible signs of aging. During microcurrent workouts, gentle T-Sonic™ pulsations massage the face, boosting skin’s radiance and enhancing the absorption of SUPERCHARGED™ Serum before your workout, and your favorite skincare products afterward.
With BEAR™ mini’s Anti-Shock System™, a unique integrated system that uses ultra-smart sensors to scan and measure your skin’s resistance to electricity at a rate of 100x per second, the microcurrent intensity is automatically adjusted in just 0.002 seconds (quicker than you can even think of blinking!) to best suit your skin. Anti-Shock System™ eliminates any chance of the microcurrent shocking your skin, resulting in maximum safety and effectiveness for an unwavering quality of treatment every single time.

How to use BEAR™ mini
CAUTION: BEAR™ mini MUST BE COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE STARTING YOUR MICROCURRENT TREATMENT
To unlock and register your device for first time use, download the FOREO For You app. Connect to the app via Bluetooth on your smartphone, and press the universal button on BEAR™ mini to sync your device to the app and set up your microcurrent preferences.
1. Clean and dry your face and neck carefully so there is no remaining residue of any kind.
2. Apply a thin layer of SUPERCHARGD™ Serum to your skin, distributing it evenly across all the areas you wish to treat.
3. For Pre-Set Routines: Select your preferred microcurrent treatment in the FOREO For You app. Follow the instructions on the app and continue as directed. Device will automatically switch off after routine is complete.
For Manual Mode:
- i) Press the universal button to activate microcurrent. The lights underneath the universal button indicate the microcurrent intensity setting. You can change the microcurrent intensity by quick pressing the universal button once for each level. To turn off T-Sonic™ pulsations, double press the universal button. Use the app to access a wider range of microcurrent intensities.
- ii) Lightly press both metallic spheres to your face, and gently glide the device across your cheekbones and forehead, around your lips, and over your jawline and neck as desired. Make sure that both microcurrent spheres are touching your skin at all times. Always glide the device slowly, in an upward motion, and with light pressure for enhanced results.
- iii) Once you have finished your treatment, press and hold the universal button for 3 seconds to turn off the device.
Cleaning your BEAR™ mini
Always clean BEAR™ mini thoroughly after use. Wash the metallic spheres and silicone surface with water and soap, then rinse with warm water. Pat dry with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth or towel. After use, we recommend spraying the device with FOREO’s Silicone Cleaning Spray and rinsing with warm water for optimal results.
NOTE: Never use cleaning products containing alcohol, petrol or acetone, as they may irritate the skin and damage the silicone.
