I’ve had the Shark FacialPro Glow + Depuffi for a month so far, and while it was the hydrafacial capabilities that initially stood out to me, it’s the Depuffi attachment that I keep going back to.
The FacialPro Glow + Depuffi ($399 @ Amazon) is designed to replicate a hydrafacial from your own home. To use, you apply an exfoliating solution to your face, then extract dead skin and other nasties from your skin using the suction attachments. And when you’re done, you can use the cooling setting on the metal Depuffi attachment to work moisturizer into your newly clean skin. This step is by far my favorite bit.
How the Depuffi attachment works
According to Shark’s website, the standalone Depuffi tool will be launching in 2026, but right now it’s available as part of a bundle with the FacialPro Glow at-home facial system.
The Depuffi attachment has three coolness settings and three heated settings. It’s got a solid ergonomic shape that’s inspired by the gua sha, a Chinese massage tool that’s used to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and improve lymphatic drainage.
On the face, it’s mainly used to reduce puffiness and help sculpt areas such as the cheekbones or jawline.
Feeling a bit worse for wear?
The cooling mode turns the rounded metal surface chilly in around 30 seconds, after which point you can rub it around your jawline, under your eyes, down your neck, or anywhere else where you want to feel refreshed and depuffed.
I recently turned to this setting the morning after I’d had a few too many wines, and it was totally heavenly. My red, tired eyes were immediately soothed, and my puffy face looked instantly refreshed. I love how chilly it can get in a matter of seconds (Shark calls this technology InstaChill), so I can’t see myself using it at anything other than the coolest setting. Nonetheless, it’s a nice option to have.
When the summer months arrive, I could see myself using the cooling attachment if I’m feeling hot and bothered on a warm day, or pressing it against my temples to cool down my pulse.
Ideal for muscle pain
The setting that I keep going back to? That’s the heated Depuffi setting.
I broke out some moisturizer and rubbed over my sore muscles with the Depuffi on its maximum heat setting. The effect was immediately soothing.
I recently hurt my neck after getting a little overzealous at the gym. That’ll teach me to lift weights. The day after, my neck was so sore that even sitting at my computer hurt. Typically, I’d ask my partner for a massage, but instead I broke out some moisturizer and rubbed over the sore muscles with the Depuffi on its maximum heat setting. The effect was immediately soothing. I felt my shoulders drop and my muscles loosen up after just a couple of minutes of use, and I went back to it a couple of times a day for the rest of the week.
Another benefit of the heated setting is that it can prepare the skin for your full beauty routine. I was always taught to wash my face with warm water before using exfoliating products or other skincare, because when your skin is warm, it opens up your pores and makes your skincare products more effective.
More than a beauty tool
My full review is still in the works, but I am really enjoying using the FacialPro Glow attachment as well as the Depuffi. It's a one-a-week treatment that I'll be keeping by my vanity for the long-term. But the Depuffi? Well, I'd consider taking it on vacation with me, or even throwing it in my gym bag to help me wind down after another ill-advised weights session.
