When it comes to skincare and hair care, the number of products you can buy for different issues or concerns it quite mind-blowing, but when it comes to gadgets, this is where it gets a little interesting, especially when I am introduced to one which is said to be 'The World's First Enhanced Delivery Device for Both Skin and Hair' - curiosity for the better of me and here it is - The Réduit Uni
Sitting the palm of the hand, it is no bigger than an EOS Lip Balm and it is lighter than one of those too. Simply put, the Réduit Uni is essentially a compact, innovative beauty gadget that is powered by the world-first proprietary enhanced delivery technology which allows the pushing the actives deep into the skin and hair, meaning better absorption and more visible results.
In French ‘Réduit’ means ‘reduced’. We reduce packaging. Amplify results. Reduce time. Amplify efficacy. Reduce steps. Amplify beauty.RÉDUIT was created with one vision: to revolutionize the everyday beauty routine. We started in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, with the dream of creating truly superior beauty products. From performance to sustainability and user-friendliness, we design products that truly elevate the everyday.
So as you can see, this device is a complete beauty routine in one as it tends to both the skin and hair. Using something which is referred to as Ultrasonic Diffusion technology, it enables the dispersion of droplets 50 times smaller than traditional mists which it is then claimed results in 38x better coverage on the surface of the makes beauty treatments absorb faster and deeper into the skin or hair. To do that, the device uses Smartpods.
These Smartpods are no bigger than a poker chip in diameter and with the Uni, there is a selection of 24 skincare and hair care treatments to choose from, it worth noting that each 5ml Skinpod is the equivalent of 50ml of traditional products and the ones I have been sent to try includes:
- Ageless Mist LED Smartpod - This revolutionary skin treatment will boost elasticity, reduce fine lines & wrinkles, prevent further signs of ageing and give you a radiant, youthful glow. Enhanced with red LED, it stimulates the fibroblasts for better collagen production and cell renewal.
- Pearl Diffusion LED Smartpod - This daily skincare treatment is perfect for anyone that wants to even out their skin tone, as well as brighten and revive the appearance of tired, dull-looking skin. Enhanced with green LED which helps regulate melanin production and reduces redness & pigmentation.
- Precision Conditioner Hairpod - The perfect hair treatment for repairing and renewing hair in seconds, as well as protecting hair from everyday heat styling with an air-light frizz-free finish. This weightless hair treatment will also strengthen your hair, leaving it less prone to breakage
- Shine Diffusion LED Hairpod - The ideal hair treatment for improving quality and shine, taming those pesky flyaways, and providing vital moisture for silky, smooth hair. Paired with Green LED, it helps keep sebaceous glands under control and maintains the health of your scalp, while giving your hair a beautiful shine.
That isn't all, with the option of Micellar Shampoo, Colour protection, anti-blemish treatments and a facial cleansing mist, I just want to try absolutely everything this device has to offer.
Each Smartpod is priced differently and they range in price from £22 right up to over £40 but they can also be purchased in Value Set too and again there is a lot of different options to choose from.
So how does it work on the skin?
As we know, your skin has a protective barrier around it and the Réduit UNI can reach through that barrier using it’s Magnetic Misting and Ultrasonic Diffusion technology to help the treatments from the Smartpods work deeper into the skin where they can make a real difference. So again, depending on the Smartpod you choose, depends on the treatment your skin will be getting.
Once the Smartpod has been correctly inserted into the UNI device, the treatment will begin and last for 1 minute, once it is working, the RÉDUIT UNI will pulse every 5 seconds to tell you to move locations, so you can really aim your device at parts of your face or even neck that you wish to be treated.
How does it work on the hair?
As with the skin, this device is designed to give high-quality hair treatments that will improve the strength and quality of your hair, giving it that much sought after nourished shine.
Again, as with skincare, each one of the Smartpods for hair works to target a specific concern or goal you have for your hair. The treatments use only active ingredients that leave your hair feeling weightless, silky, sleek, and nourished.
The RÈDUIT’s Uni device is described as being the future of misting as it works to deliver a concentrated, evenly distributed ‘film’ of replenishing extracts, which penetrate skin and your hair. It gives you a beauty routine for your skin and hair in one device and it has a Smartpod for everyone, regardless of your skin or hair type. It is definitely more than a gimmick for me and it is going to be one of those devices that is perfect for taking with you on holiday given its size and for those who are wanting to cut down on waste when it comes to the products they use for both their skin and hair, this device also helps you to do that, especially with each 5ml Skinpods being the equivalent to 50ml of traditional skincare products and 5ml Hairpods being the equivalent to 200ml of hair care products and each Smartpod is recyclable too.
I am really enjoying getting to know my RÉDUIT Uni Device and I love that it takes just 1 minute of your time each day. It is easy to use and understand and I can't wait to see what Smartpods or extras for this device come next. Priced at around £89, you can purchase it via CurrentBody, Cult Beauty and also from RÉDUIT themselves.
