Manicare Salon Thermal Sonic Cleanser

Overall it was okay to use, however I didn't find it to be game changing in terms of adding to my skin care routine. I find that just using my hands to cleanse my skin is a lot easier than using this. My face didn't feel that much cleaner or felt like the product went in deeper into my skin so probably wouldn't use this very often

This is seriously one of the best skincare products I have used, such a great little tool for cleansing the face! Firstly the packaging is nice and its easy to follow the instructions on how to use it. Remove from packaging and charge for 3 hours before use on the cute little device that it sits on to charge it with. I love that I don't have to buy batteries for it and it lasts up to 3 hours of usage. The Thermal sonic cleanser has 3 vibrating settings and a warming setting aswell. You just wet your face and add some cleanser onto the cleansing brush then glide onto your face in circular motions. It feels like its really giving my face a deep clean and leaves it fresh. I recommend this product its such a cool idea for cleaning the face and I use it every day now.

I was quite excited to trial out this cleanser tool but I do feel a little bit let down. The main thing that I'm let down about is that mine isn't heating up and if it is, it doesn't feel like it. Secondly, it's sooooo loud! Embarrassingly loud. Everyone in my household thought I was using another battery operating device of a similar sound (I'm talking about you, SP2!) I do like the softness of the bristles and it feels nice on my skin and I like that I can use it in the shower so I will use it again but I think a quieter version would be better

After using various electric face brushes I was sceptical as this one doesn't have fibre bristles. However after the first use I was blown away after a fiddly setup, let me break it down.

Theres no instructions so it took me a few goes to get it right. First you have to charge it for 3 hours, and you have to have your own wall plug that takes a USB A port (luckily I have lots of these). Theres also no light to say its charging so you just have to hope you put it on the charging pad correctly.

After 3 hours I took it off. The on button you hold down on the side until the light on the underside is green. Then if you want the heating setting you hold the wavey icon button beside it down until the underside light is red. This means its heating up. Then you add cleanser and water directly to the top.

After the setup I started using circular motions over my face. It starts off feeling a little wrong and dry but the cleanser quickly lathers up into a thing layer. Then it starts to feel great and the heating setting has heated up. I used circular motions all over my face for about 1 minute (the nose was a little hard to get around as its a little bulky). As I washed the cleanser off my face I instantly felt the difference. It felt like I had had a really deep clean and it had taken off the dead layers of skin. It kinda felt like after dermablading. It felt so smooth and clean I couldnt believe it.

After using and drying my face I could see the difference, my skin had a really smooth texture and was shiny. I think because the bristle are silicon it creates more friction on the skin which means it gets more off it and smooths it out, almost like a nail buffer.

After applying moisturiser my skin looks and feels clean.

Also the battery lasts for up to 3 months of 1 minute uses which is great too.

To turn it off hold down the power button until the light on the bottom turns off.

I've always wanted to try a sonic cleanser, so when I got the opportunity to review this, I jumped at it.

I charged it up for a couple of hours as per the instructions, then gave it a go.

The instructions said to wet the face thoroughly and apply cleanser to the bristle head of the device. Initially I had to push the on button quite hard to switch it on, but eventually I got it going.

I gently pressed it against my skin to start with and over the next few days was able to apply a bit more pressure. I moved the device in small circles over my face, making sure not to linger too long on any one spot. Getting around the nose was a little bit tricky.

As time went by I found I was able to push the speed button up to get a much better cleanser, but if you have sensitive skin, I would advise you to start on a lower setting. As for the thermal heating setting, I didn't really notice any difference for how the device felt on my skin. Plus the thermal button required a decent press to activate.

Results: After trying the device consistently for a week, I noticed my skin felt softer and cleaner. Plus my moisturizer went in a bit faster. This was one thing I didn't expect. It has good cleansing properties.

Overall, I got good results from the device and definitely think it is worth a try. The main minus was the power button was small, and hard to switch on. This frustrated me a bit. I also felt the heat setting wasn't that useful.

This little gadget is as the title says a great idea in theory and with a few tweaks to the design I think it would be fantastic.

It’s a powerful little device and the warming sensation is quite pleasant.

I used this twice a day for 5 days and it left my skin feeling mostly clean and I think it’s great that you can use it in the shower.

The small things to note for this are:

1. It’s great that it’s a wireless charger however because the base can’t get wet charging it in the bathroom isn’t viable. The lights on the device to show it’s charging are very hard to see as the lights are on the piece that lays against the charger so you have to look underneath to check it’s charging.

2. The device itself is difficult to get around the curves of your face so it almost needs to be a lower profile on one side as getting around your nose is difficult so found I’d need to hand cleanse part of my face - this is especially important because of wearing masks and having an oily face.

It arrived in a cute purple colour box and once opened I tried looking for the directions booklet but there was none. You can read down the side of the box but then I googled it. I did then charge it a bit, but confusing as not sure which way to charge it (up side M symbol or underneath the soft bristles part). Also the ON button was not that visible and to turn it on, you need to really push down your finger to get it started. I placed some cleanser on it with a little bit of water, then once turned on it's got quite a powerful vibration. It was felt nice and soft against my skin. Then once done, I washed off the cleanser and patted dry. I then placed my moisturizer on and have to say my face felt really nice and smooth. I never used the warming option but overall it worked well. I don't know if I would go out and buy one but it was a different option then the usual facials.

This is a really cute and easy tool to add to your daily routine. I love that I can use it in the shower with no added fuss and no extra time required. Simply apply your cleanser to skin and turn on this little beauty and away you go. I used small circular movements all over my face for roughly 2 minutes. It definitely left my skin feeling lovely and smooth and prepped perfectly to drink my serums up for max benefit. I usually use a high percentage glycolic cleanser so for the last two weeks while first trialing this product I have dropped that and am using a lovely gentle Cream Cleanser (Andalou Probiotic) with this tool and my skin is just as fresh, but feels even more clean and glowy without using acid based products which happily surprised me.

I was super excited to try out the manicure sonic cleanser. It is easy to use and gentle on the skin. It lathers up well and left my skin feeling well cleansed after use. I found that my acne had improved since I’ve started using this device. Would definitely recommend.
