Nice to feel a little bit extra!

I received this product as part of a trial team review.

Manicare Sonic Mini is a facial cleansing brush that uses “sonic vibrations” to purify the skin. The device is a half sphere shape that is baby pink in colour and has a soft silicone casing. It comes with a sensitive bristle brush head and a designated USB charging cable. There are also additional heads that can be purchased separately, including a massaging head for use with creams etc.

The instructions state to charge before first use, which I did using the included cable. It is a USB cable which you can plug into a computer/laptop or a wall charger. The end that plugs into the device is a special pin shaped jack so don’t lose the cable! The device took about 1.5-2 hours to fully charge as indicated by the red LED on the power button.

After clicking on the brush head the device is ready to use. It has two power settings - gentle and normal, and you can cycle through them by pressing the power button. Please note the brush head does not spin, it just vibrates.

I started on the gentle setting and used it with a cream cleanser. I found it easy to use, the device fit nicely in my hand and the brush was easy to manoeuvre over my face. The vibration felt relaxing and the bristles did not feel irritating on my slightly sensitive skin. The device has a 5 minute auto shutoff and does not have a zone timer like some other sonic face brushes.

After use my skin felt soft and clean. I felt like the brush helped my cleanser go further. The brush head was easy to rinse off and the included brush cap has plenty of ventilation holes to allow the brush to dry.

The instructions say to use this device morning and night, but I find this might be too much for most skin types. I have been using it most evenings or when I feel my skin needs a deeper clean, e.g. after wearing makeup. I have also used it in the shower which was just as easy as using it over the sink, but it has slipped out of my hand once due to the shape and smoothness.

Overall I feel that this device is nice to have but definitely not necessary. It does little more than a manual face brush in terms of cleansing, but I think the massaging head will be beneficial and soothing - it’s a shame you have to purchase it separately.

Tips: Rinse the brush thoroughly after each use and make sure no water gets under the brush head as this is where the charging port is.

I don’t think it’s necessary to use twice a day as thrust may be too harsh on the skin.

Magic mini machine

This was a real little treat. I loaded it up with my regular cleanser and buzzed away. It was invigorating and quite soothing. My skin felt clean and almost fizzing. Am not sure it cleaned any better than usual but the massage effect was brilliant. It was easy to clean and fast to recharge.

Liked it

I bought this when my wife saw it at The Chemist Warehouse and mentioned how it might be good for my skin since I'd been getting the odd pimple and she reckoned my pores were clogged. It's easy to use, easy to recharge. I like using this but prefer to use it only once a day as more than that and my skin seems to get oilier. My skin is looking clearer since buying it and finding how best to use it for me.

Definitely Surprised!

I was really happy to be selected to try this product - have never tried something like this before and going into the first use i was skeptical after seeing the product itself. It is so small, and feels like it wouldn't give out enough power to make a difference - I was very wrong.

I have always had the issue of buildup getting stuck in my pores and my skin is so sensitive that I worry enough about the cleanser without applying it with a powered device - but it was so soft, so gentle and yet my skin has not felt softer or clearer after use.

I really loved the waterproof nature of this, makes it so easy when you are a busy mum on the run and have limited time to get yourself ready.

Would perhaps think that at the full price it is a little expensive and may put people off the purchase, but so glad I have had this opportunity and really hope that others take the opportunity to invest in this piece and give it a go

Simple but fabulous

This cleansing brush may be small but it punches above its weight. I liked the size of the brush as I have little hands so it was a perfect fit and the power button is in the right location. The brush itself was really soft which for me was ideal. Currently being pregnant with sensitive skin this was perfect for getting that deep clean but still being gentle and non irritating. I had wondered about it being slippery once it got water on it but no problem there at all. I also loved that ot doesn't take up a lot of space in the shower.

Tips: Make sure you have somehow to store it so it can drain off to prevent constant damp in the bristles

Game changer

This product has been such an eye opener for me! I had no idea how clogged my pores were and how much dirt was below the surface of my skin. For the first time in a long time I feel like my face is actually 100% makeup free. I wear Estee Lauder doublewear foundation and find it hard to remove every bit of it no matter which product I use. Loving how my skin looks and feels after only a week of using this for 2 minutes each night. Having sensitive skin I was cautious about scrubbing my face with anything like this, but the brush is so soft it didn't irritate me one bit. I tried it with several different cleansers and all worked effectively. I don't think I'll ever look back.

Tips: At first I was worried my sensitive skin would be affected by the brush, then when my face started pushing out all the impurities I thought it was causing me to break out. After a few days my skin was GLOWING! So do not freak out if you develop some imperfections initially. It's all part of the process. Also, if you can, try and make sure your face is as clean as possible before use - this will save the brush from becoming discolored.

Manicare Sonic Mini

I was so excited to use this cute pink cleansing brush! I have always wanted something like this but thought it might be another little gadget that would stay on my shower shelf and not get used... BOY was i wrong!! Its easy to use, I just put my cleanser on the brush and move it around my face in circles for about a minute. I used it twice daily like it said but i have sensitive skin so i found it was a bit much for my skin so I have been using it every two days instead! Ive noticed it has helped a lot with my dry flaky winter skin! foundation is more smoother going on now. Since using it i have not had to recharge it yet, the brush is easy to put on and its easy to clean! Love that it is water resistant so it easily goes in the shower! I have already raved to my friends about this and have told them to go out and buy one!

Tips: Make sure you clean the brush head after every use

Clogged pores? BUY IT!

I couldn’t wait for my Manicare Sonic Mini Rechargeable Facial Cleansing Brush to arrive. I have always wanted a gadget like this but was too stingy to part with my hard earned cash on something that I would probably use once or twice then get bored with.

I gave it a whirl as soon as it arrived and couldn’t believe how dirty my face was at 11am in the morning! I had cleansed my face that morning and moisturised, but after using the brush I could see that my face was not as clean as I would have expected it to be.

I have now been using the mini twice a day for two weeks and my skin has never looked or felt better. The brush really gets deep into my pores and removes all the nasties that get clogged in there. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has problem skin like myself.

The mini is easy to charge, lightweight and easy to put in m soap bag when travelling.I love how compact this product is, how it is easy to use AND that I can use it in the shower. I will definitely be buying the exfoliation and massage heads!

Once again, thanks Beauty Review!!

Affordable sonic cleansing brush

The size of the device is quite a good size to grab and use and the silicone texture doesn't slip off easily. I love how is it rechargeable and a 2 hour change will provide up to 5hrs of use. The bristles are really soft and gentle on the skin and the cap makes it easy to store and air dry. I love the 2 settings and they both cleanse effectively. My skin is left feeling soft and clean without irritations.

Tips: Store the device bristles side down with the cap to effectively air dry the bristles. Use gel-based or foaming cleansers instead of cream or milky cleansers. Suitable for sensitive skin as well.

Too soft to have any effect

Lucky for you dear reader I tested this product during the time when my pre-period skin was at its most hormonally affected..A blemished mess. So I put it to the test. Sadly, I would've got more of a scrub from my electric toothbrush even on the higher setting. There is a massage head attachment available to purchase separately and I can see this being a more effective use of the product. Using it with my cleanser didn't get the cleanser into my skin any more than usual and then I had something extra to wash. So all the elements of a great product are there just needs to be powered up a few notches.

Tips: Make sure not the deform the bristles while cleaning.
