HOW TO USE BEAR™ 2

UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE
Before first use, download the FOREO For You mobile app to unlock and register your device. Follow these simple steps:

1. Download the FOREO For You app on your mobile phone.
2. Log in to your account or sign up for a new one.
3. Add device (on the top of your screen).
4. Choose device series.
5. Press and hold the universal button to connect your device to the mobile app.
6. Fill in the purchase information.

Make sure both your skin and BEAR™ device are clean and dry. Then apply FOREO SUPERCHARGED™ Serum evenly across all areas of the face / neck you wish to treat, leaving a thin mask-like layer on the surface of the skin.

SELECT PREFERENCES
Press the universal button to turn your BEAR™ device on. Adjust the microcurrent intensity by quick-pressing the button again, once for each level. Access guided treatment videos and more settings via the FOREO app.
Note: BEAR™ 2’s default setting is ‘Beginner Mode’ (microcurrent intensity levels 1 – 5). If you wish to access ‘Pro Mode’ (microcurrent intensity levels 6 – 10), you can do so via ‘Settings’ in the app. Once you select ‘Pro Mode’, the intensity indicator lights on your device will refer to the Pro Mode levels (6 – 10).

TONE & LIFT
Lightly press both metallic spheres to your skin, and slowly glide the device upward and outward across your cheekbones and forehead, around your mouth and over your jawline and neck, as desired.

THINGS TO NOTE

• Microcurrent devices like BEAR™ 2 must be used with a conductive serum. For optimal results, we recommend using FOREO SUPERCHARGED™ Serum 2.0 — developed specifically for use with FOREO’s microcurrent devices, and clinically proven to significantly increase type 1 collagen production.
• Leave a thin, mask-like layer of FOREO SUPERCHARGED™ Serum on skin, so the device can glide smoothly. If treating many areas in one session, you can apply the serum to each area before you use the device on that area.
• Never use microcurrent devices like BEAR™ 2 on the midline bone of the neck, or within the orbital bone.
• Make sure that both microcurrent spheres are touching your skin during your treatment. Always glide the device in upward and outward motions, from the center of your face toward your hairline.

CLEANING YOUR BEAR™ 2
Always clean BEAR™ 2 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.
