Sonic Mini Massage

I really loved this little piece of luxury! The unit itself comes in a beautifully packaged wee box, complete with a bow, the device feels lovely in hand and had a smooth texture, it is easy to hold and use and feels lovely on the skin.

It is easy to assemble with the brush snapping easily onto the unit and the lid with perforated holes to aerate and dry the brush is a smart feature. The brush is beautifully soft but high quality, it's bristles are gentle yet cleansing and the brush when in use creates a soft lather. There are two levels of vibration which you can change according to how gentle or more intense a cleanse you want.

The charging port is easy to get to and no fuss to use.

I used a small amount of my usual facial cleanser on the moistened brush and it effortlessly cleans away your make up. I re-wet the brush once during the cleansing process, which was more than enough to clean my whole face. The instructions say not to use the unit to remove eye make up, which is fair; but to be honest the bristles are gentle enough on the more subdued setting that you could get relatively close without any hassles, it cleaned off eyebrow product with no fuss.

Overall I really enjoyed using this product and will continue to use it in my weekly routine; I may not use it daily; as it is an extra step to my normal routine but it is certainly nice for a bit of a deeper cleanse and a mini facial!

Tips: There is a second "massaging head" available separately, and replacement brushes run at about $30 from Farmers.

Oh so good!

The packaging is nice and simple - you know exactly what you're getting.

The product design is so clever - the brush head removes and the charger port is under there. So when the brush is affixed it's a water tight unit you can use in the shower! The charger cable is of a nice quality and it fits firmly in the port on the brush unit. It doesn't take long to charge.

The shape of the unit is a revelation to those of us who have used different brushes or cleansing units before. It fits snugly in the palm of your hand and feels like an extension of your hand.

The brush head is, like the rest of the unit, of high quality, the bristles are soft, but don't feel weak. They're gentle on the face.

I've been using this about a week, and I just love it. I'm using it with an Oxygen Creme Cleanser, and I feel like I'm getting cleansing benefits and exfoliation too.

All up - I just can't fault this brush. I'll be picking one up as a Christmas present for my sister for sure!

blemish free brush

Wow! After the first use I felt an improvement in my skin texture it provided a much deeper clean than purely using my hands and I felt my face felt so healthy after as I said one use! As a couple weeks went by my skin was actually clearing up a lot quicker than when I just apply cleanser with my hands. Because your hands are covered in dirt from your day I found it much more sanitary to use a brush for a better clean. The vibration settings helped your cleanser penetrate the skin deeper which helped my skin clear up.

Tips: Would probably use the faster vibration and only for a minute as my face started to tingle after that.

Sceptical to regular user

Should start by saying only been using it for two weeks. Initially I was sceptical that the product could make a difference in such a short time but it definitely has. I think my skin is more glowy, I guess as it’s taking off dead skin or the blood flow is stimulated by the buzzing? I think I have less blocked pores on my nose too. Its been easy to use the product and I like that they provided a stand to put it in while the brush dries. Downside: I wasn’t sure how much I should move it round at first and there wasn’t any instructions on that part of how to use it. Also as it only comes with a USB cable not a charger that isn’t ideal. I’ll keep using it after the trial though and will look out for the other two products in the range as I’d like to see what they’re like.

Tips: I’ve been using mine moving it in little circles in the patterns in the instructions- from the centre of my face across forehead, down nose and across checks.

Feels great on my face

This is the first time I’ve used a electronic face cleansing brush, and it did not disappoint. The brush is soft, cute in pink, compact in size, quiet when in use and easy to use just push a button to turn on and once more for more speed. I used it with a charcoal face scrub, only needed a small amount. It made my skin feel very soft after use. And with a toner and moisturiser afterwards my skin was silky smooth. The fact that it can be used in the shower is a big plus for me, makes using it much easier and user friendly. It plugs in via USB so can charge easily. I’ve been using mine a week twice daily and haven’t had to recharge yet. I will be buying more brushes for it in the future.

Tips: Buy a few brushes could be a family shared product.

I only have positive things to say

My first impression was that the brush looks modern and chic. I think the colours are very cute and feminine. The shape and size are very comfortable to hold. The bristles are extremely soft, feel nice against my face and it's easy to clean after each use.

It's quick to charge and if you use it twice daily (as recommended) that's still only two minutes a day, so each charge should last a long time.

I've found it easy to use in the shower (yes, it's waterproof!). The material is non slippery even when wet.

The next best thing about this brush is that each use takes only one minute. It's so easy to use, it feels effortless. There are instructions on how to move it across your face but it's pretty intuitive.

After using it daily for a week and a half I've noticed less pimples (pimples have been bothering me for months) and my skin feels softer and smoother. I definitely plan to continue using it.

Overall, I think the brush is high quality and I recommend it as a nice luxury. It would also make a lovely gift.

Sonic magic

I was so excited to be picked for this trial thanks BR. I had been eyeing up a much much much more expensive comparative product at farmers that was about 4x the price so this at a fraction of the price and with interchangeable heads is a total winner.

One huge perk - no batteries! Nothing worse than using something that then goes flat.. I never replace batteries. I haven’t needed to charge this since the first charge and it’s been weeks. So a charger is a huge bonus.

It’s beautiful in all it’s pretty pale pinkness. Really cute and handy. Fits nicely in the hand so isn’t too big or small. The heads clip on and off so it’s nice you have the option to have a brush/massage/silicone brush head attachment to use - this set only has the soft brush but other heads are sold seperately but still handy.. especially if your face has different needs.

I see life pharmacy are selling these now and are actually giving away the double brush head pack with purchase which makes for an amazing deal. They will be getting the silicone head which will be on my buy list when I see it pop up.

I used this as the brush and a massager. The brush was gentle enough for 2x a day. I have cut back to 1x a day now even.. as my skin is quite smooth so it has to have been working some sonic magic.

To use as a massager I actually just turned it over to the soft pink side and massaged my face. It was absolutely amazing for helping me through a sinus infection just massaging into my sinus areas of the face with the hot water gave some great relief.

The head itself vibrates it doesn’t rotate like other facial brushes. But it’s a nice gentle way to treat your skin.. your not left with raw red patches. Plus it’s waterproof so can be used in the shower unlike a lot of other products.

I can’t wait for the silicone heads to accompany this. It makes for such a versatile product that’s easily switched up clipping between heads. The silicones will be handy for cleaning makeup off so definitely anticipating the sale of them.

It’s easy to clean and dry. It air drys and has a little tray that protects the bristles while facing downwards. So it’s still pretty in pink no scum buildup.

I have sensitive skin and this wee gem has improved the quality of my dry damaged winter skin. I had areas of a few spots and dry patches - it was shocking condition. This has improved the quality of my skin.. it’s soft and smooth. No dry patches or peeling flaking winter skin to be seen at the moment. While using it felt nice and gentle not too harsh or tickly.. and my skin was always soft after using straight out of the shower.

If you have been eyeing up more expensive brands like I had been drooling over consider this as a cheaper alternative that also has the capability to be switched up or used by multiple users (if hubby decides to have a go) with the changable heads.

Tips: If your keen life pharmacy has these and were offering free double head attachment set with purchase when I checked last week. Which makes for a great deal along with life points.

Great for beginners or frequent travelers

My only experience with other facial brushes is the Olay Regenerist so will compare to that as I would consider them in the same price range and level.

Cute and fits nicely in my hand. I love that this is rechargeable via USB so no need to purchase additional batteries. First time using I’d lather my face with face wash and use the brush to lather it up. Good speed and pressure. I found the bristles far more gentler than Olay. Face felt really clean and supple after use.

This is a great alternative if you want a cheap but reliable face brush. It doesn’t have many options for speed or pressure like the fancy ones but I guess this does the job for a basic brush. Good if you want to trial whether facial brushing is for you.

I’ll use this daily and it’s quick and easy. I have good skin so this works for me. Maybe one day I’ll upgrade but I’m more than happy with this for now.

Makes my skin so smooth!

I remember the first time i used this and right after touching my face i noticed immediately how much smoother it was. From the first time using it i could tell that it did have a deeper clean on my skin. After wearing foundation for the day, i would see that the foam on the brush would wash off extra foundation that my reuseable makeup wipe + hot shower hadnt taken off, which i didnt even realise was still on.

I have sensitive, oily acne prone skin so i was interested to see if it would help my acne without being too sensitive. Over time i noticed that my pores werent as filled as they usually were, and it did help with my acne (not completely though, but that is probably due to my cleanser). The brush has two settings, low and high, and i found that the high setting was too harsh on my face if i used it twice daily so i mostly used the low setting. I did find though (particurarly on the high setting) if it got anywhere near my undereyes, they immediately flared up. In the manual it did say to avoid the eye area, but even brushing over it once or twice made my undereyes get extremely sensitive and scab a bit. It mostly did this on the outer corner of my eye, and right under the middle of my eyebrows. I also found my skin wasnt getting as oily as it usually does. Before using this product (used the same cleanser) i found that by the afternoon my skin would start to get oily and shiny, but i havent faced this problem yet at all, as my face stays dry for the whole day.

My main negative to the product is that its very hard to dry. The instructions say to wipe it down then leave it in a dry place which I do every day, but i find when im picking up the brush, the bristles are still very wet.

Tips: Be very careful when cleaning near the eye area, and be prepared for it not to dry properly.

Fantastic Entry Level Cleansing Brush

I have found this to be a really great facial cleansing brush for everyday use.

It uses sonic vibration to deep clean impurities, however the bristles are quite soft so it is not abrasive on the skin. After using this brush my skin feels super clean and refreshed, without feeling like it has been scrubbed off. My skin can be quite sensitive however this has given me no issues with any dryness or breakouts which has been amazing!

The brush itself is nice and compact, easily fits in the palm of my hand and would be perfect to chuck in your bag when you are travelling.

The cleansing brush head clicks onto the main body, and it has a cushion area underneath where the brush attaches which means it can move around and mould to you face as you are using it which makes this super comfortable and easy to use.

The charging port is located underneath where the brush head attaches. I have found the battery power on this little device awesome. I have used this daily for 8 days in a row on one charge and it is still going strong!

There is a button on top of the brush which turns it on, and changes between 2 brush speeds.

I personally have been using this once a day in the shower, love that it is waterproof so I can wash my face as part of my usual routine.

I do a double cleanse, using my fingers to wash the initial makes up off then followed up with the cleansing brush to do a proper deep clean. This really proves how much is missed by using finger only as you can always seen make up remnants when going back in with the brush and this dirt would have been missed otherwise! It recommends you use this for a minute so I mentally break my face up into 6 "sections" and count to 10 on each area , this give me a rough idea of when the minute is up.

My skin has felt so soft and smooth after using this every day for a little over a week, I will 100% percent be keeping this as a part of my routine as i love the way it leaves me skin feeling. Love it!!
