NuFACE Trinity+
Category-defining microcurrent · Reviewed by Katie · amazon.com live, Sept 28 2026
Why it scored a 67
At $395.00 the NuFACE Trinity+ is the original microcurrent facial toning device, FDA-cleared with three frequencies, three intensities and a Boost button, on a five-minute daily routine. Quality and Features both score 76, but Value drags hard at 52 and Warranty sits at 55 with one year of cover. The real caveat is cost of ownership and reviews: it needs conductive gel every session, with Aqua Gel refills around $30 or more, and Amazon reviewers average only 3.7 stars from 122 ratings, citing price, gel cost and an app push. That leaves it at 67, well under the buy line. It is for shoppers who specifically want the NuFACE name.

Should you buy the NuFACE Trinity+?
The NuFACE Trinity+ is the original microcurrent facial toning device, and it scores 67, well Buy With Caution and last in this category. At $395.00 it has the lowest Value score we recorded here (52), and Amazon ratings average 3.7 stars. It is for someone who has already used NuFACE at a spa and knows they want microcurrent specifically.

Where it earns its score
- FDA-cleared microcurrent. Three frequencies and three intensities, with a Boost button that adds 25 percent power.
- Short routine. Five minutes a day, with lymphatic drainage routines supported.
- Expandable. ELE eye and lip attachment and an LED attachment are available, sold separately.
- No subscription. Unlike some app-tied devices, nothing recurring is required to use it.
What to know first
- Buy With Caution. At 67 it is eight points under our buy line. Value is the weakest factor at 52, the lowest of any product in the category.
- Gel is a running cost. Microcurrent needs conductive gel, and NuFACE Aqua Gel refills run about $30 or more.
- Modest ratings. A 3.7-star average drives Satisfaction (74) and Reliability (73), both category lows.
- Attachments cost extra. Adding LED or the eye and lip head pushes the total well past $400.
Our verdict
The NuFACE Trinity+ scores 67, Buy With Caution, and we do not recommend it at $395.00. Buy the medicube Booster Pro (82, $190.00) for microcurrent plus LED and electroporation with a 4.5-star record, or the Shark CryoGlow (83) if light therapy is the goal. The Trinity+ only makes sense if you specifically want NuFACE's microcurrent and have used it before.
