Manicare Salon Thermal Sonic Cleanser

What a cool wee product. I have never used something like this before so I was keen to put it to the test. Out of the box it's a very simple setup, just the wireless device (yay, no batteries) and a charging pad with USB cable. It's a nice size and fits snugly in my hand, not to mention a cute lilac colour. It took me a while to figure out how to turn it on as the instructions didn't really allude to where the power button was so after manically pressing the silver ‘button’ on the base for sometime I had a closer look and found it on the side. It's the same colour as the device,lol. Turning it on I had to use my fingernail has just pressing it wasn't enough then, you press the heat button which heats the centre thingy, this takes what feels like a minute but is probably around 20-30secs, a bit of a pain when you want to start using it straight away. The instructions also don't mention it has (I think) 3 speeds, also handy to know as the high speed really makes my skin tingle, I like it! As for how it works, I used it both in and out of the shower, with and without cleanser. I definitely prefer using in shower with cleanser, it seems to be much smoother. Afterwards my skin feels smooth and I have noticed my skin is brighter and I have less acne type issues (probably were blocked pores, all gone now). I have also used it with a gentle exfoliant, very nice. It makes me feel like I am doing something nice for my skin. To charge it is really easy, you place it on the special charging pad, simple however, that pad only has a USB cord so I had to plug into a port in another room away from the bathroom. It does stay charged for quite a while though so may not be much of an issue for some? It's a product I normally wouldn't purchase thinking it ‘gimmicky’ but will now continue to use it as I do really like the result.

Firstly i was impressed by the look of the product. Very beautiful colour and gorgeous wee charging station. I used this in my facial cleansing regime in morning in shower and night time. I found it was very gentle with the bristles and did clean the impurities oit more than a flannel would. It was quite smoothing and skin felt smooth and soft afterwards. The heating setting didnt do much for me really in the shower and was hard to get between nose and cheek but changing angle helped. Overall i absolutely loved this product and will recommend to friends.

I'm not going to lie when this product arrived I was mostly curious about what it actually was meant to do - it seemed like it was simply a vibrating face cleaner (was this something I actually needed? Or purely a gimmick?).

The combination of gentle pulsing and warming action helps to deep clean your skin, opening pores and removing debris. Leaving you with cleaner, brighter, better looking skin. I have to say, it did help with my "maskne" and my skin felt smoother and softer after the first couple of uses, but since then I've not noticed any additional changes. It is something that I will continue to use but I'm not sure I would have purchased it myself.

Pros: It is waterproof, which means it can be used in the shower. 3 hour charge time gives up to 3 hours of use Small and lightweight

Cons: Seems to take longer to wash your face If your cleanser is anything other than a smooth cream it takes a bit to wash it out of the bristles

I'm definitely on the fence with this one, I don't think it's a beauty essential but it is a good tool to have.

Over the years, I've tried many facial cleansing brushes - ranging from manual silicone ones you find at Kmart, to the rotating brushes which tend to be a little harsh for my skin, so I was excited to be given the opportunity to trial this product. I'm not sure about everyone else, but having to wear a mask all day in my workplace has really taken a toll on my skin. I also wear makeup daily, and often fear I have not entirely washed it off simply by using micellar water and face wash.

Firstly, I love the charger for this device! It's a wee wireless one which the device simply nests in. So easy, and no worries about water entering charging ports as it is entirely waterproof. I found that the lowest setting on the brush felt effective enough to clean my skin, and while the heated aspect was nice it is probably something I'll use more in the winter. I've noticed my skin has cleared up a bit also, probably as a result of being able to get a deeper clean to remove my makeup and other contaminants from throughout the day.

Overall, I am impressed by this product! It's not something I'd typically seek to go out and buy, as I was not overly impressed by past cleansing brushes I have bought. But this one suits my needs, is convenient and robust, so I will be using it for a long time!

Perfect compact size to take with you on trips too.

This compact facial cleanser has helped to clear my skin thoroughly.  I have oily Skin during the wamer months and dry/sensitive skin during the colder.

In the first few days of using , my skin broke out more than usual which I'm guessing came down to really clearing it out . The days after, my skin calmed, cleared and became alot smoother.

There's a 3 vibration mode that you can change by tapping the power button once. 1 tap is a lower pulse while tap 3 is the highest pulse. Tap again to bring it back down to level 1.

I didn't really use the heat option as I felt it no difference to me.

Overall , has cleared my skin , small and compact to fit anywhere and of course to take on ya next roadie.

I wanted to try the Manicare Salon Thermal Sonic Cleanser to see whether it was any good for someone with Rosacea. I’ve had Rosacea for a few years now, and that has made it rather difficult to find a product that gives a decent deep cleanse without irritating my Rosacea. There is also the claim by Manicare that although the Sonic Cleanser is not an exfoliator, it does assist in removing dead skin cells from the skin’s surface. Well I can tell you without a doubt that this product is amazing! Absolutely no irritation to my skin, my pores are far less noticeable and my skin feels so much smoother. I haven’t been able to exfoliate in years so this product helping to remove the dead skin cells is a godsend. So easy to use, and the charge lasts a long time. Easy to clean too, and doesn’t take up much space at all, so storage is a breeze. My teenage daughter has also had a try out too and loves to clean her face with it. I would absolutely recommend this product to my friends and family as it’s the perfect little addition to a skin care routine, and well worth purchasing.

I can honestly say that I absolutely love this Sonic Cleanser. I always wanted something to exfoliate my skin without using an abrasive cloth. Something I could clean easily and that left my face feeling really soft and clean and I found all this in the Manicare Salon Thermal Sonic Cleanser. It is a silicon covered unit with soft silicon bristles. In the centre of the bristles is the thermal heating element. It comes with a really cute charging stand. While charging the red and green light alternate. While using the unit the green light is the function without the temperature turned on and the red is with. To use it you wet your face and apply your cleanser to the Sonic Cleanser. I applied my cleanser to my face and that worked fine too. Hold down the power button for 3 seconds to get it started then press the button next to it if you would like to use the thermal setting. I used it in the shower and had no problems. I did use the thermal setting a few times and it was lovely and was just the right temperature.

I would recommend this product to anyone looking to get a Sonic Cleanser that is both waterproof and easy to travel with.

Cons: the charging cable is really short so getting a longer cable is a must if you need it.

I was very excited to receive this cleanser! My first thought was that I love the lilac colour it comes in. My second thought was that the device smelt quite chemically, however this went away after a wash.

The cleanser device is rechargeable and a USB charging cord is included in the box. Note that you'll either need a separate USB wall charger or a computer/other device to plug into for the cleanser to charge. Also be aware that you need to charge it fully before it's first use.

Once charged, it will last for a decent amount of time. I've been using it twice daily for a week and it hasn't died yet!

The device is completely waterproof. I alternate between using it over the sink and using it while in the shower.

The combination of the bristles and vibration feel quite relaxing on my face. I like to apply a cleanser directly to the device and massage it in circular motions on my skin. The device is a good, lightweight size and is the right shape to get into the curves around the nose.

There is a heat setting on the device as well. I've used it and can tell it's warming up, however I don't find this feature very beneficial at the moment. I'm thinking it might be more useful in the winter months.

The device is easy to clean as well. I simply rinse it off with water and leave it to dry.

The texture and appearance of my skin has certainly improved over the last week. After each use my skin feels more and more smooth. This device is a nice addition to any skincare routine and I would recommend giving it a try if you feel like your routine is missing something special.
