Shark FacialPro Glow review: The pore de-clogging is legit, but it may not be right for every skin type
Shark's debut skincare device, the Shark CryoGlow face mask, which I absolutely love, came out a year later than most of the other top red light masks. We eventually found out that Shark was merely biding its time to perfect the CryoGlow with features no other LED masks can claim. While the wait was well worth it that time, Shark is two steps ahead of the rest of the at-home beauty industry with its second skincare device release: The Shark FacialPro Glow was released on Oct. 17, and I was excited to unbox it and yap about my early thoughts.
After spending about 45 days with the beauty tool, I'm ready to share a bit more.
What even is the Shark FacialPro Glow?
Shark officially describes the FacialPro Glow as a "complete at-home hydro-powered facial system." I honestly think that description is misleadingly vague — it makes the FacialPro Glow sound like just another facial steamer or something, and it's not that at all. The FacialPro Glow's type of at-home facials is so much more dynamic.

The FacialPro Glow system consists of two swappable facial heads that get powered up by the included handheld battery pack.
The official FacialPro Glow attachment has a water tank and conducts legitimate deep cleansing through hydro-powered extractions of oil or dirt built up in your pores. Four nozzles are included to customize suction based on your skin type and sensitivity, and whether you need to exfoliate your cheeks or the T-zone that day.
The second included attachment is actually the Shark Depuffi, which resembles a stainless steel gua sha and offers instant hot or cold contrast therapy — the first at-home device to ever do so. (See, I told you Shark was ahead of its time this time.) The heated setting is ideal for lymphatic drainage and a circulation boost, and Shark recommends using this setting to loosen the gunk in your skin ahead of extraction. The cooling setting is great for soothing your skin post-extractions, as well as general sculpting and de-puffing. Both temperatures are adjustable and hit their desired temperature in literal seconds, just like the InstaChill under-eye pads on the CryoGlow mask.

Right away, I could tell that morning sculpting on the cool setting is going to be one of those things that I go to bed thinking about. It feels like a metal spoon taken out of the freezer to fight under-eye bags, but if it were also giving you a light sculpting face massage at the same time. As a gua sha, the curved design is perfect for sculpting your cheekbones and jawline.
Dreame's three new beauty releases dupe the Dyson Airwrap and Supersonic, plus the Shark FlexStyle
The Depuffi is set to be released as a standalone purchase sometime in 2026. I must say, I appreciate SharkNinja's dedication to adding a random "i" onto the end of its products when possible — the Ninja Slushi and the Shark Glossi welcome you.
Also included are two serums: An AHA + BHA exfoliating gel called Derm Detox and a BHA hydrator with hyaluronic acid called Hydro Infuse. I read that you're supposed to apply Derm Detox and let it sit for three minutes before actually using any suction. Apparently, this gives it time to sink down into your skin to dissolve dead skin cells and soften that stubborn sebum buildup.
How does the FacialPro Glow work?
Upon opening the FacialPro Glow, I was intimidated. It felt like there were a lot of pieces and way more steps than the CryoGlow routine I'm used to: put mask on and take mask off. Luckily, Shark seemed to anticipate that there might be a learning curve, so there were stickers with labels, arrows, and directions all over everything. For extractions, all you really have to do is fill the water tank with water, choose your nozzle and intensity with the plus sign button, then let 'er rip.
I also found Shark Beauty's YouTube tutorial with esthetician Sofie Pavitt to be super helpful. This is where I learned how to evenly drag the FacialProw Glow across my face. The nozzles have a suction cup-like edge, and pressing the nozzle on your skin creates a seal that you can feel. Then, you just glide the device upwards at an angle across your cheeks, jaw, forehead, and such, each little swipe ending with a kiss sound to let the air out.

Suction intensity can be adjusted, but even the most powerful one doesn't hurt or anything. It's just… very targeted suction. You're simply the inside of a fish tank, and the FacialPro Glow is one of those sucker mouth fish that suction cup to glass. However, I'd probably recommend easing into it even if you think there's a super-clogged area that needs a good scrub. I think I went after the sebaceous filaments near the corners of my nose a little too hard, leaving the area a bit red and irritated.
The FacialPro Glow stops buzzing after three minutes, so you know when to move on. The final step involves going back and doing everything you just did, but with the Hydro Infuse serum in the tank this time. This locks in hydration by pushing hyaluronic acid and a firming peptide complex far deeper into your skin than patting with fingers could permeate.
My FacialPro Glow results after 24 hours
Within minutes of using this beauty tool for the first time, there's a lot of physical proof that this thing is really cleansing your skin. There's definitely more instant gratification here than with the CryoGlow mask's "see best results in eight weeks" situation.
There are actually two tanks to monitor: the one that you fill up with water or serum, and a larger dirty water tank that holds everything that the nozzle drained from your skin. My water from my first go was slightly cloudy with a few little specks floating around. According to the gunk decoding chart on the back of the box, that means the device removed excess oil and dead surface skin cells. The resulting liquid may be gross at first, but truthfully, I'd be pissed if it wasn't — it just means the hydro-abrasion is actually doing something. Maybe it's a placebo effect, but the sebaceous filaments on my nose that once resembled blackheads looked lighter when I was up close and personal in the mirror.
I'd dare to say that the Shark FacialPro Glow literally felt like it was pumping life back into my skin. It felt so soft and plump after just a single extraction session at night and a single de-puffing session the next morning, and even that feels like a testament to its effectiveness.
My FacialPro Glow results after 1.5 months: I love the glow, but I have to use it sparingly
I used the FacialPro Glow for the first time near Halloween. Now, mid-December, I've been trial and error-ing to find the right balance of de-clogging and over-exfoliation.
Here's the sitch: My T-zone is the most oily, clog-prone part of my face, but parts of that T-Zone are also the most sensitive (around my nostrils and around my mouth). Basically, the skin that could really use at-home extractions the most is also the skin that gets red and irritated the most. Of course. So, I've found that even just once-a-week use of the FacialPro Glow is too much for me sometimes.
If you have sensitive skin or use Tretinoin, use your discretion
While the ultimate goal of spa-level hydration sounds innocent enough, the FacialPro Glow still utilizes both a chemical exfoliant (AHA and BHA in the Detox serum) and physical exfoliation of sorts from the suction — and my finicky skin barrier just can't handle that very often. Even the gentle nozzles go too hard sometimes. This isn't the device's fault, but something to consider if you know your skin gets angry easily. To prevent further irritation, be sure to disinfect the nozzles with hypochlorous acid before and after each use. The last thing you want to do is drag bacteria across your whole face.
I also use Tretinoin almost every day, which I know isn't technically exfoliation, but it's still a powerful active ingredient that's triggering quick cell turnover. If you also use a retinoid or high-grade retinol, be extra careful that you're not FacialPro Glow-ing too often.
That said, I stand by my initial claim that the Shark FacialPro Glow works incredibly well on sebaceous filaments. The parts of my nose and chin that aren't sensitive — my actual nose bridge and tip, and the direct middle of my chin — are still pretty clear of the prominent black dots that felt permanent before I got the FacialPro Glow. Though I don't reach for the FacialPro Glow every single week, my skin definitely feels softer each time I do use it. Not for nothing, the DePuffi's cool setting is a little treat I look forward to daily.
At the risk of sounding ridiculously lazy, I sometimes just don't feel like using the FacialPro Glow. I swear it takes longer than the 10 minutes that Shark advertises, so don't expect it to be a quick skincare step in the morning. Between swapping out nozzles for different parts of your face and going over everything a second time to infuse the hydration serum, it has kind of fallen into the category of daunting tasks that my squirrel brain keeps putting off.
Is the Shark FacialPro Glow worth it?
You can just tell when your skin feels like it's suffocating from grime. If regular cleansing and exfoliating don't feel like they're going deep enough — and if getting an in-office extracting facial is too expensive to keep up with — I think the Shark FacialPro Glow could be a worthwhile purchase. The average professional Hydrafacial costs between $150 and $300, so paying $399.99 once for the opportunity to give yourself a similar facial at home whenever feels justifiable.
I don't think the FacialPro Glow can necessarily suck out an active pimple, but it's an amazing tool for mitigating oily buildup, sloughing off dry skin, and thoroughly washing off makeup. I've named it as one of the best gifts for teenage girls for this reason. Plus, it's hard to argue with the FacialPro Glow's effectiveness on sebaceous filaments that no serums or red light therapy can unearth.
But you should think twice about buying the Shark FacialPro Glow if you have extremely sensitive skin. I'm not saying this device is a net negative for that skin type, but you may be using it less often than you feel like you should be using a $400 device. However, I do think literally anyone would get daily use out of the DePuffi attachment's heat and cooling settings. It's seriously such a nice little source of pampering to pull you out of zombie mode or warm up your face before skincare. Shark is releasing the DePuffi on its own in early 2026.
In terms of preventing acne, I think my skin responds better to the bacteria-killing blue light of my Shark CryoGlow face mask. An LED mask obviously can't physically extract sebaceous filaments, so you really just have to weigh which skin concern is more… concerning to you.

UPDATE: Dec. 13, 2025, 5:00 a.m. EST Since first publishing this review on Oct. 31, 2025, I've added a more long-term review to my first impressions. I've now been using the FacialPro Glow for one and a half months.

The Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat bladeless tower fan and heater is out to end the thermostat wars
If you’re lucky enough to live with someone who has the same temperature preferences as you do, you might consider keeping that partnership alive for a lifetime. Many of us suffer through living with others who have wildly different temperature preferences. It’s a battle for control of the thermostat year-round. Shark is out to ease the stress of temperature wars.
The SharkNinja brand makes some of our favorite kitchen appliances, air purifiers, and vacuums. The Ninja Slushi has given us frozen margs on demand, while the Shark PowerDetect with Clean and Empty System is a Mashable favorite for vacuuming up stubborn pet hair. But now we’ve stumbled onto the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat Bladeless Tower Fan and Heater, and this is worthy of a top-tier SharkNinja award. Aside from the long name, I’ve been impressed with nearly every feature while testing it out.
A one-and-done situation, with a kid-friendly design
One of the strongest selling points about the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat is that it’ll serve as extra warmth in the winter and a cooling breeze come summer. Both of these functions are housed in the slim and sleek design. That means you won’t have to unpack and then pack away the space heater and find where that dusty box fan went when the seasons change.
Credit: Lauren Allain / Mashable
I found the slim profile of the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat to be awesome for both storage and carrying from room to room. Because of this, I think it could be a perfect year-round addition to a small apartment, dorm room, or bedroom. Plus, the bladeless design makes it more child-friendly, although keep in mind the exterior can get hot.
A satisfying pivot
The arms of the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat move in two different ways. First, both arms can tilt together to fully vertical, horizontal, or anywhere in between. Then, each arm has a separate airflow adjustment, allowing you to position the airflow directly where you’d like it to go in fan mode. In heating mode, the air comes out of only the center vent, but you can still choose vertical or horizontal.
Credit: Lauren Allain / Mashable
In both heat and cool mode, the TurboBlade can oscillate up to 180 degrees, which is really great if you’re sitting on the couch trying to heat or cool more than just yourself. You can also set smaller oscillation rotations, like my preferred 45 degrees.
The versatility of the TurboBlade Cool + Heat
I tested out the TurboBlade Cool + Heat during a chilly fall in the Pacific Northwest, which meant I stuck mostly to the heater function’s three modes. Thermo IQ allows you to select your desired temperature between 60 and 90 degrees, and the heater will take it from there. The comfort mode is designed for all-day use at a sustained temperature, and the focus setting is perfect if you come home from work wanting nothing more than to sit on the couch with warm air pointed in your direction.
I used the cooling fan during two scenarios: while sleeping and while working out. I hate a hot room when working out, but it’s not worth turning down the central heating for my 30-minute rowing session since that would cool the entire house. Instead, I carried the TurboBlade Cool + Heat with me, positioned it in front of the rower, and took off on my workout in cooling bliss. Plus, the wind made my stationary rowing machine feel a lot more like I was actually out on the water and not stuck working out inside, thanks to December rain.
Credit: Lauren Allain / Mashable
In an Instagram Reel, Shark showed a person using the cool fan setting of the TurboBlade while cooking in a hot kitchen. I’m really bummed I didn’t think of this because I was a sweaty mess in the kitchen on Thanksgiving while trying to cook, bake, and sauté while wearing a wool sweater. The TurboBlade would have made that a lot more comfortable.
Another instance that made me love the TurboBlade Heat + Cool was when I was sleeping. Shark advertises that the fan function can create an “air blanket” thanks to the design. With the arms in the horizontal position, the fan can sit at the foot of the bed and blow blissfully cool air to both sides of the bed. There are 10 speeds to choose from with the fan mode.
I already thought the pivot on each arm was a great feature, but this is where I really loved it. I’m a hot sleeper, so a fan is a must. But I’m also a light sleeper, and if I position a fan directly onto me, that airflow will cause wispy hair to tickle my face, and that’s an infuriating situation. So the ability to have a cool breeze over the bed, positioned exactly so that it missed my face and hair, is pure beauty. While using it at night, I was also impressed by how quiet the fan is, even at the highest speed.
Can you love a remote control? Because this one is good.
The remote control that comes with the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat has probably ruined most remotes for me from here on out. For one, the remote magnetically attaches to the main body of the fan. And it’s not some half-assed magnet — this is a powerful magnet that really wants to nest itself back home, and I appreciate that. It also has a shocking operation range. I was able to turn the heater on in the morning while I was still in bed in the other room. Since both my partner and I sleep hot, we turn the heat off entirely at night. It's common for me to be chilling (literally) in a 58-degree office when I log on for work at 6 a.m. Walking into a pre-heated room thanks to the Shark TurboBlade was a level of spoiled I didn’t know I could swing.
Credit: Lauren Allain / Mashable
If you don’t love the remote, the display and control face on the fan itself is also useful. In another thoughtful design touch, you can alter the brightness of the display between four levels. That’s awesome if you’re an annoyingly light sleeper like me and don’t want the display on at all.
Not the best for large rooms
In my testing, I found the heating and fan on the TurboBlade Cool + Heat to be pretty darn effective. The ability to heat rapidly was slightly less efficient than my beloved Vornado AVH10 space heater, but that thing is a beast of a heater that I adore. I wouldn’t count on the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat to warm a large room with an open floor plan, but I found it great for heating a bedroom or office, and I think it would be ideal in a small studio apartment.
Is the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat worth the price?
If you want a portable fan and space heater that doesn’t look aesthetically unpleasing, the Shark TurboBlade Cool + Heat is a great option. It’s extra ideal for small spaces since you can get use out of it year-round, instead of finding a seasonal storage area. It’s also a nice solution for someone in your family who’s always uncomfortable with whatever temperature the majority can agree on — and it would be great to let family or friends use it in a guest room if you’re hosting.
I’m always inclined to break down price into a cost-benefit ratio, so here we go: Use the SharkTurbo blade for every day in a single year, and you’re at about $1 per day if the tower fan is sitting at full price, plus whatever your local energy cost is, of course.

The Goonies turned a whopping 40 years old this year — what better way to celebrate than building this nearly 3,000 piece set, featuring the iconic Inferno pirate ship housing vignettes from the film? And unlike the full-scale ship built for the movie, it won't be devastating if you want to scrap this one and build it all over again.

Not to pit sets against each other, but I wasn't wowed by the $330 Christmas Tree (and neither were reviewers on Lego's site so far).

I don't know if there's a combination of words more nostalgic than Lego Super Mario Game Boy. This set was announced for preorder in July, and as of Oct. 1, is finally available. As a small catch, it is on backorder for up to 60 days, so if you're looking to gift it to the gamer in your life this holiday season, I'd grab it sooner rather than later. The set comes with a customizable display and game paks, but if you want to play actual games on this Lego replica, you'll have to go the same path as this modder.
