Beauty tools that really work — when they’re used like part of a routine

“Beauty tools that really work” is a fair question — because most people don’t want another gadget that ends up in a drawer. What tends to work best (especially for ages 40–65) is a routine-first approach: consistent cleansing, consistent product use, and a device that supports skin goals without unrealistic promises.

The Innocera Max Multi-purpose Skincare Tool is designed to support the appearance of firmer, smoother, more radiant-looking skin by combining multiple established technologies in one platform. It’s an at-home support tool — ideal for maintaining results between professional treatments and getting more from the skincare you already use.

What Innocera Max is 

Innocera Max is a multi-technology skincare device built to support several common skin goals in one tool. Instead of buying separate devices for different concerns, you can tailor sessions by choosing the most suitable mode and head for the area you’re treating.

It’s designed to work best when you treat it like “weekly skin training” — the same way a good cleanser or serum only makes a difference when you use it consistently.

Why multi-technology tools can work 

Skin concerns often overlap. For example, when skin looks less firm, it can also look less smooth; when hydration drops, fine lines can appear more visible; when the barrier feels stressed, tone can look uneven. Multi-technology devices can be useful because they support different “parts” of the routine — comfort, product absorption, and the appearance of firmness and texture — without asking you to juggle multiple gadgets.

That said, even the best device won’t out-perform the basics: consistent cleansing, daily moisturising, and daily SPF are still the foundation.

The technologies inside Innocera Max 

Below is a practical view of what each technology is designed to support — without unrealistic promises. Results vary, and consistency matters.

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)

HIFU is used in professional settings and is designed to deliver focused energy to targeted layers. In an at-home routine, Innocera Max uses HIFU as part of a structured plan intended to support the appearance of skin firmness and elasticity over time.

RF (Radio Frequency)

RF uses controlled warmth and is commonly used in routines focused on the look of skin laxity and texture. Many people choose RF sessions when they want their skin to look more “toned” and supported as part of ongoing care.

Electroporation (absorption support)

Electroporation is used to support deeper absorption of skincare products by temporarily increasing permeability in the upper skin layers. This matters because many people invest in good serums — but don’t always get the best utilisation from them.

LED light therapy

LED is commonly used in routines aimed at supporting the appearance of calmness, clarity and radiance. It can be a helpful “skin-support” layer when used consistently alongside barrier-friendly skincare.

How to use Innocera Max in a routine 

This is a simple routine structure that works for most people, and it’s the same logic we use across our skincare tool ecosystem: prepare the skin properly, treat with good contact, then support the barrier afterwards.

Step 1 — Cleanse properly (this is where most routines fall short)

If you want the best start, cleanse thoroughly so the device works on clean skin and your aftercare products absorb more effectively.

Optional, best-in-class cleanse: the Viveca Ultrasonic Facial Cleansing Brush uses ultrasonic cleansing and Galvanic-Ion support to lift impurities and help prep skin for product absorption. It’s not essential — but if your goal is a deeper, more consistent cleanse, this is one of the strongest upgrades you can make.

Step 2 — Apply a conductor gel for glide + contact

For modes that require strong skin contact and smooth glide, use a conductor gel. This helps prevent dragging and supports consistent treatment across the skin.

We recommend Innocera Face-Up Anti-Ageing Conductor Gliding Gel, formulated specifically for use with Pure Tone skincare tools. 

Step 3 — Treat in zones (not randomly)

• Work in small zones (cheeks, jawline, forehead) rather than “all over”
• Use steady, controlled movements and follow the guidance for each head/mode
• Keep contact consistent (avoid gaps between head and skin)
• Build gradually — more intensity is not always better

Step 4 — Aftercare serum (this is where you lock in the routine)

After using a device, your skin is primed for hydrating, barrier-friendly aftercare. This is an ideal time to apply a quality serum.

Optional, high-performance recommendation: Radiance Ampoule (Radiance Dual-Action Anti-Ageing Serum) is designed to support hydration, radiance and the appearance of smoother-looking skin, and is a strong option if your goals include the look of fine lines and uneven tone/pigmentation. 

This isn’t the only good serum — but if you want a proven, device-compatible option, Radiance Ampoule is as good as anything in its category.

Step 5 — Moisturise + SPF (daytime)

Finish with a moisturiser that supports the barrier. If you’re treating in the morning, SPF is non-negotiable for maintaining the appearance of even tone and protecting your results.

Optional interchangeable skincare treatment heads

Innocera Max supports interchangeable heads so you can tailor sessions by area and goal:

1. HIFU Pro High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Head – targeted firmness support within a structured plan
2. Jawline Sculpting Head – designed to focus on lower-face and jawline areas
3. Fine Line & Wrinkle Head – designed for smaller areas where precision is helpful
4. Skin Boosting Head – designed to support product absorption and routine performance

Who Innocera Max is designed for

Innocera Max is designed for people who want a calm, routine-led approach to supporting skin quality — especially if your priorities include the appearance of firmness, texture and radiance over time.

• Best fit if you enjoy structure: you’re happy following a simple weekly plan and treating in zones rather than rushing through a session.
• Best fit if you value maintenance: you want an at-home tool that helps you stay consistent between professional treatments or alongside a strong skincare routine.
• Best fit if you want flexibility: you like the idea of tailoring sessions using different heads and modes depending on the area and your skin goals.

A note on expectations: most people notice the biggest improvements when they treat this as a long-term routine tool. Some users enjoy a fresher-looking finish after a session, but meaningful changes in the appearance of skin typically build with consistent use.

When to pause and seek advice: if you have an active skin flare, irritation, or you’re unsure about suitability after a recent professional treatment, it’s best to wait and follow practitioner guidance before resuming device use.

Choosing between Innocera Max, Innocera Pro and Radiance Pod 

Choose Innocera Max if you want a multi-technology platform that supports several skincare goals in one device (firmness support, texture support, absorption support) and you like tailoring your routine by head/mode.

Choose Innocera Platinum if your primary focus is HIFU-led routine support and you want a more focused device pathway.

Choose Radiance Pod if you want a simple, quick daily ritual built around multiple technologies such as RF, EMS and absorption support, and you prefer an “easy course” format.

The best choice depends on your routine style: multi-option tailoring (Max) vs targeted pathway (Pro) vs fast daily ritual (Radiance Pod).

How Innocera Max fits the Pure Tone ecosystem

Our advantage against bigger brands is not “noise” — it’s a system that works together. Innocera Max fits naturally into an ecosystem that supports the full routine:

• Prep: deeper cleansing with Viveca (optional, best-in-class)
• Contact: Face-Up gel for glide and consistent device contact
• Aftercare: Radiance Ampoule to support hydration, glow and the appearance of smoother-looking skin

Innocera Max FAQs — How to Use It & What to Expect

How often should I use Innocera Max?

The most effective way to use Innocera Max is through short, regular sessions rather than long or infrequent treatments.

Typical session time: around 5 minutes per day, working the face in zones rather than trying to treat everything at once.

Recommended weekly structure:

• HIFU mode: 2–3 times per week
• RF (Radio Frequency): can be used more frequently as part of a regular routine
• IF Electroporation: suitable for frequent or daily use to support hydration and product absorption
• LED light therapy: runs alongside treatments and can be used regularly

Many users find it easiest to rotate treatments across the week — for example, HIFU one day, RF the next, Electroporation the day after — rather than trying to use every mode every day.

Why HIFU isn’t daily: even though the HIFU energy used in Innocera Max is lower than professional clinic systems, it’s still designed to stimulate deeper skin layers. Allowing rest days between HIFU sessions supports comfortable use and helps avoid over-treatment.

The key is consistency, not intensity. A routine you can realistically maintain will always deliver better results than one that feels like a chore.

How long does it take to see results?

Results build gradually and vary from person to person. Some users notice their skin feels fresher or more hydrated after individual sessions, but visible improvements in the appearance of firmness, texture and radiance typically develop over several weeks of consistent use.

Innocera Max is designed as a long-term routine tool, not a quick fix. Consistency over time matters more than high intensity.

Is Innocera Max suitable for sensitive skin?

Many people with sensitive skin can use Innocera Max comfortably by starting with lower intensity settings, limiting session length, and gradually increasing frequency as the skin adapts.

If your skin is reactive, always introduce new modes slowly and prioritise calming, barrier-supporting aftercare.

Do I need to use a conductor gel?

For modes that rely on strong skin contact and smooth glide, a conductor gel helps prevent dragging and supports consistent energy delivery across the skin.

Using a dedicated gliding gel is not just about comfort — it also helps ensure treatments are even and controlled.

Can I use a serum after treatment?

Yes. After using Innocera Max, the skin is particularly receptive to hydrating and barrier-friendly skincare.

This is an ideal time to apply a quality serum to support hydration, radiance and the appearance of smoother-looking skin. Many users focus on serums aimed at fine lines, uneven tone or overall skin brightness.

Should I cleanse before using Innocera Max?

Yes — cleansing is an important step. Starting with clean skin helps the device work on the skin itself rather than surface residue, and it supports better absorption of aftercare products.

A deeper cleanse can be particularly beneficial if you wear makeup, SPF or richer skincare during the day.

Should I treat my whole face in one session?

Yes — most people treat the whole face in one session.

The key is to work methodically in zones within that same session (for example: forehead, cheeks, then jawline), so you keep contact consistent and don’t rush or miss areas.

What you generally don’t need to do is use every mode in the same session. A simple approach is to treat the whole face each day, but rotate the mode across the week — for example, HIFU on 2–3 non-consecutive days, and RF / IF Electroporation on the other days.

Can I use Innocera Max alongside professional treatments?

Yes — Innocera Max can be used either as a standalone at-home routine or alongside professional treatments if you choose to have them.

Many people use it purely at home to support the appearance of firmness, texture and radiance through consistent routine use. Others choose to use it between clinic treatments to help maintain results and stay consistent with their skincare.

If you’ve recently had a professional procedure, it’s important to follow your practitioner’s aftercare guidance and allow appropriate recovery time before resuming device use. Outside of those recovery windows, Innocera Max fits naturally into both clinic-supported and independent skincare routines.

Can I use actives like retinol or acids straight after treatment?

Many users prefer to keep aftercare simple immediately after device use, focusing on hydration and barrier support.

Stronger actives such as retinoids or exfoliating acids are usually best reintroduced once the skin feels settled and comfortable.

Is Innocera Max safe to use long-term?

When used as directed and incorporated into a balanced routine, Innocera Max is designed for ongoing use.

Listening to your skin, rotating modes appropriately, and avoiding over-treatment are key to comfortable, long-term use.

What’s the best routine if my main concern is fine lines and wrinkles?

A consistent routine works best: cleanse thoroughly, use a conductor gel for smooth treatment contact, rotate modes across the week, and finish with a hydrating or anti-ageing focused serum.

Supporting the skin barrier and wearing SPF daily are just as important as device use when targeting the appearance of fine lines.

What’s the best routine if my main concern is dullness or uneven tone?

Prioritise cleansing, hydration and daily sun protection. Device use can help support radiance and product absorption, but consistency and aftercare are what drive visible improvements over time.

Many users combine regular device sessions with brightening-focused skincare and strict SPF use to maintain even-looking tone.

Final verdict

If your goal is a credible, routine-led “beauty tool that really works” — meaning it supports skin goals with consistent use — Innocera Max stands out because it’s multi-technology, adaptable, and fits cleanly into a complete skincare system. Pair it with a deeper cleanse (Viveca if you want the best), proper glide/contact (Face-Up gel), and a serious aftercare step (Radiance Ampoule), and you have a routine that can genuinely punch above its weight.
