Zadro 20X Extreme Magnification Suction Cup Mirror, Gray

This is my second one of this exact mirror. Before I bought the second one, I found another brand that was 20x and thought I would save money; that one cost $6 and it was not anything like this one, I couldn't even see out of it.I was very near sighted and had cataract surgery and couldn't see when I had something in my eye with any mirror after my surgery. I tried different measures (10x, 15x) and nothing worked. I have hunted high and low for a small compact mirror in a 20x and this is the smallest I can find. It does fit in my purse, it is just bigger than I would like. It is very handy but if you carry it in your purse, I suggest putting it in a small bag to protect the glass from getting hit by keys and such inside your purse. It measures 3-1/2" across.It is a glass mirror. That is why it is my second one :/ The first one I dropped and it cracked (no, I haven't had 7 years bad luck).This mirror has 3 suction cups that can easily be removed if you wish to carry it in your purse.You will be able to see everything, even every eyebrow hair you missed. LOVE LOVE LOVE

You'll need a sedative if you're going to look in this mirror! My otherwise flawless skin looked like the surface of the moon looking into this mirror...20X magnification really amplifies your skin to a point that will literally scare the crap out of you. I found weird hairs, clogged pores, wrinkles! oh my God!... but yet I'm inticed to keep looking! Yes the mirror is small, yes it's hard to see your whole face at once but you'd probably have a stroke if you did anyway... Perfect complement to your regular "full of lies" vanity mirror.

I don't know what is up with this mirror. I can't decide if it's just not a 20 times magnification or if there something wrong with the silvering in the mirror. All I know is if I don't get my eye lined up in just the exact tiny little spot on this mirror, I can't see to put my makeup on. I had purchased a 15 times magnification mirror at Walmart, so I went back to using that mirror.

At 20X magnification, the ZADRO 20X SPOT MIRROR provides extreme facial closeups. It's not really a makeup mirror, although it's great for tweezing eyebrows (and even eyelashes if you're careful), because you can see to grip individual hairs with your tweezers. I bought this small mirror to be able to inspect sun-damaged skin on my nose and face, in order to identify any tiny, possibly precancerous skin lesions that should be removed by my dermatologist if they should start to exhibit changes. For this purpose, the 20X magnification is perfect.To use this mirror, you need to hold it close to your eyes and look straight into it. Otherwise you can't see a focused image. Thus it's a mirror with very limited use. For general purposes (e.g., applying eye makeup), a magnifying mirror with 5X magnification is a much better choice, because the 5X mirror will show a larger area of your face.

The Pros: Can see MUCH more than a 10 or 15x mirror. I can see sebaceous filaments, clogged pores, tiny acne about to form. This is all great at preventing blackheads & acne. My skin wouldn’t look this good without it. It’s my secret weapon. It’s not so useful for makeup but for skincare you have to have one.Cons: The size. Seems like one with this magnification comes in a small size because at the outer edges of the frame it becomes blurry. I looked for a larger 20x but they dont seem to make one. A lot of aestheticians and regualr women have warned me not to look into this mirror, for fear I would lose my mind in forever pore picking and extracting mode, possibly scarring myself. This can happen if you don’t know what you’re doing. But with years of practice and restraint, you CAN pick out just what you need and do it correctly, without scarring the skin. I recommend educating yourself on how to do this, because scarring is no joke. Especially if you don’t have lily white skin & scar easily, like myself. As for the size, I stick it on the larger 15x mirror that has a stand and I can use both. To the women who say don’t look at the magnifying mirrors, I say Dont you want to know & see what is happening to your skin? If you want to live in denial don’t look. But that won’t help you. Personally my skin has never looked better. Sometimes I see stuff I don’t want to see but since its in a 20x mirror, I know nobody else can see it & I have time to fix it befor the issue gets worse. Looking up close can also be helpful to see if products are working. Looking at a Biore strip in the 20x mirror is fascinating. (I wish I had a microscope for that)For me all mirror magnification levels are useful. A regular mirror is great for seeing your overall look & appearrance, 10 or 15x is great for tweezing, makeup, regualar skincare, and 20x is essential for deep down skin care.I only took a star off for the size of the mirror, and the fact that it doesn’t have a stand of it’s own. It’s priceless for what it can do for me though.Going to an aesthetician for extracting is an expensive luxury which they btw dont do thoroughly anyway. I trust myself & know my skin, so I’d rather do it myself!

When I received this mirror I was disappointed to find that there is clarity only in the center of the mirror. Anything beyond the center appears warped making it very difficult to find the perfect spot for viewing whatever you need to look at. I have other mirrors just like this and they don’t have this problem. I should have sent it back but I didn’t. This is a quality issue.

I need this mirror to remove an eyelash that grows the wrong way. So every three or four weeks I absolutely must have a way to see that tiny eyelash. This mirror does the job. I mount it to my bathroom fold-out mirror, sit a bit on the sink counter, and can get perfect focus. The only problem I had was that two of the suction cups broke off after a while. But customer service responded immediately and sent replacement suction cups! I think I might leave the mirror attached instead of removing it every time so that doesn't happen again.
