Manicare Salon Thermal Sonic Cleanser

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.

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.

Packaging is cute and the 3 step instructions seemed easy enough - I missed the 'press power for 3 seconds' part though! Lol I happened upon a feature that wasn't listed anywhere on the packaging..there are different intensities of sonic vibrations! Once you start it up press the button again to increase vibration. The unit itself sits snug in the hand and is easy to maneuver in circular motions over your face, it is however difficult to get into the creases around your nose and eyes because of its shape. For the very first use I decided to go whole hog and use my Dermalogica thermal skin polish and the combination did not disappoint..My skin felt smooth and taut and I absolutely love that feeling! Over the next few days I used it with different products, with and without the warming feature, in and out of the shower and sometimes just with water. My preference was definitely with product and my cream cleanser was one that worked really well with it. Loved using it in the shower! The warming feature needs time to heat up which isnt ideal as Im impatient- but worked around it by switching it on and leaving it while I brushed my teeth. I preferred to just use it as is most of the time as I didnt feel much difference with the warming feature. Overall I liked it and did a good job of cleansing my skin.

This was the first time I have used an electric cleansing brush. I have always been curious about the foreo Luna electric cleanser so I was keen to see what this one was like. I have been using this electric cleanser for about one week and normally use it at night while in the shower. Overall I have not noticed a lot of difference to my skin since using the cleansing brush. I normally just use my fingers to cleanse my face, with no other tools. I have combination oily skin and have been using this with a foaming cleanser. My skin felt fresh and clean afterwards, but also not any different to cleansing without this brush.

The cleansing brush is very compact. It fits nicely into the palm of your hand and is nice and easy to hold. The silicone brush is gentle on your skin when used with plenty of cleanser. I tried using it with just plain water and felt that it was harsh on my skin. When used with cleanser the brush wasn’t harsh and my skin didn’t feel like it was stripped of its natural oils.

This brush has a heating function that heats to 40 deg Celsius. However when using it in the shower I didn’t notice or feel the heat. Maybe this was because I could already feel the heat of the water from the shower.

One thing that I also noticed that was that I had to use a lot more cleanser than normal in order to get the cleanser foaming. I had to use double or triple the amount of cleanser that I normally use.

Overall I didn’t notice a lot of different results with using this cleansing brush. However I will continue to use it for longer to see if there are long term results.

First of all how cool is the charger. Simply plug it in and the device just sits on top and charges, so cool. I absolutely love this device. The device is small, easy to use and bristles are super soft and it's so good with it being 100% waterproof. If I wasn't in the shower, I would dampen my face with a bit of water, then placed my face cleaner on the bristles. Press the power button for 3 seconds (must admit I had to press quite hard for it to start) then the warmer button for a further 3 seconds. While the device was on I gave it a few further seconds to warm up, then placed it in my face and did round motions around my face. The bristles are so light and gentle on your skin. I was a bit worries with how the bristles on my skin would feel from the vibrations but was actually very relaxing. I could have carried on cleaning my skin for hours. After a minute, rinse your face to remove the face cleaner and pat face dry with towel and complete with your moisturizers you would normally use. My face honestly felt so clean and refreshed afterwards. I felt like i was glowing. It felt like I had almost gone for a facial, I couldn't wait to use it again. I was so impressed with it I even used it on my hubby's skin and he actually loved it aswell. Will definitely be recommending this to my family and friends.

100% love this product!!! I have tried a few products similar to this but this band finally got it right!

The packaging is on point and eye catching. The item itself is so nice! Easy to hold, 100% waterproof!, soft, feels durable and C.A.U.T.E! You have 4 modes: 3 vibrating settings- low, medium and high and a heating mode. When you turn it on, you hold down the on/off button for a few seconds then it will turn on and vibrate; a light around the emblem will glow green; with each mode the green light will get brighter. With the heating mode the light with glow red. There is a separate button for the heating mode room you can turn it on and off when ever you like.

There is a nice little box and inside is a charging plate and USB charging cord. The plate is a nice addition because your sonic has a spot to be displayed on and can be charged at the same time. I wish they had paper instructions in it on to use the product because you have to go online to find them (they do have a QR code to find instructions but some people may not no know how to use it or can't. So paper instructions would be good)

It removes, makeup, dirt and oils super fast and easy. The heating is so nice on the skin and is an amazing addition. It helps remove the makeup faster because you don't have to help getting warm water and it helps the product lather better. The silicon bristles are soft on the skin and doesn't pull or tug; but soft and durable use on the skin

Just loved this product The packaging is a nice lilac colour, the material of the box is of high a quality. The instructions with the product were well written and easy to understand. The charge unit is silver, although the cable that came with it could maybe be a little bit longer, with the cleanser on charge it actually looked like a rose The Cleanser itself is also lilac and of a good quality. I do however struggle a bit with the button to switch it on as I have to push it with the tip of my nail as it is a bit small to just press with your finger, the same with the heating function. I use this in the shower and have no issues with it. I have found that it cleanses my face brilliantly, my face overall feels smoother and softer and definitely cleanses way more then just using my hands I love using the heating function, as I have hormonal acne on my chin area and have found a huge improvement in my chin area. The bristles on the cleanser is soft and does a great job in cleaning Since I started using this I have found that it definitely cleanses and removes a lot of the oiliness off and my skin is not so oily during the day. I have combination skin and my skin tends to get oily during the day so a huge improvement on this part. My skin definitely looks a lot healthier, brighter and glowing. As the description says it is for sure a mighty little thing!!!!!!
