The design: I love the baby pink colour! The size is great, fits easily into my hand and doesn't take up a huge amount of room in the shower, also fantastic to take away.USB charge is great, easy to charge. It's quiet in operation and lightweight. This brush has a five hour charge when fully charged which is pretty impressive. I thought the bristles on the brush may have been a bit soft but they are actually just right. They left my skin feeling great and soft. I felt it cleaned my skin well, I used a foam cleanser in the shower. I tried using the brush with cleanser directly on the brush and on my face. Both ways worked well, a personal preference really. Manicare recommend that you use it for a minute both morning and night. The only con of the brush would be that a automatic shut off after the minute would be helpful. I would definitely recommend this brush and they say that you can buy a massage and exfoliating heads as extras which would be good to try. I will continue to use this great little but powerful brush, I can only see my skin getting better with continued use.
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
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.
I must say I just thought this was just another one of those things that didn't really work and cost a bit too much. But I went into the trial with an open mind. And my gosh I am sold! It really did clean my skin well and made it noticeable smoother.
The design: super cute baby pink colour. It is light and a half sphere shape meaning it is easy to hold in one hand and use. The power switch is on the top and works by pressing on and it lights up pink. The brush is nice and soft so not harsh on your face. The brush head isn't fixed so it moves with the curves on your face. So design gets a big tick!
Use: You have the choice to put your cleanser onto the brush directly or on your face first. Personally I liked putting it on my face first as I could get an even coverage. But didn't affect results either way just personal preference. You use it in circle motions for 1min twice a day. By pressing the power button once for the low setting and press again for a higher setting. After every use you have to remove the head and clean with water and soap then air dry.
Pros: Really did make skin feel super clean and smooth. This meant my skin felt great and my foundation also sat on my skin a lot better. It is an easy device to use and isn't time consuming so can easily be added to routine. It holds it's charge extremely well (still haven't had to charge!)
Cons: it suggests using for 1min twice a day. Which is not problem however would be nice if the device turned off or beeped or something at the minute mark so you know rather than guessing. But hey that's a minor thing. If cleaning makeup off your face with cleanser and the device it means the brush gets very dirty quick and makes it harder to clean after. I found using my solid makeup cleaner worked well. Because the brush is so soft I do question the longevity of it. I have only used mine for nearly 2weeks and it's already starting to deform.
Overall it works great, does what it says it should and I will definitely continue using the device. Would I recommend? Yes I would however it wouldn't be a 'must have' item. It's more a nice to have.
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.
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.
I bought this on special at the Chemist Warehouse. This is a good compact size and fits into the palm of my hand nicely. I like that it is rechargeable. It came with the sensitive brush head which is a little on the softer side but I don't mind that. You can purchase other brush heads for it including an exfoliating brush which is firmer and a massage brush head. In terms of how well it works it is comparable to other brushes on the market.
Tips: Look out for specials.
Other than being THE CUTEST gadget ever, it actually works. I have combination skin and during the winter months my forehead manages to be oily AND dry at the same time...oh the joys...so I was definitely looking forward to see what it could do for me. You don't have to worry about stripping your skin, because it's so gentle. I used it on the low setting in the morning and the strong setting in the evening. A definite selling point to me was the fact that it's WATERPROOF! So of course I had to use it in the shower. It fits comfortably in your hand and the rubber coating means you still have a grip on it even when it gets wet. Genius! Super easy to charge (one charge lasts for days!) so it's perfect for if you are off on holiday and want it to come with you. Really great if you want to pamper yourself (everyday!)
Tips: Put your cleanser straight onto the brush head. I found this was the best 'visual' way for me to see where I had cleaned rather than washing my face and then using it.
I absolutely love this little device and it’s such a good wee size for travel or even to pop onto the handbag if you’re getting ready at a friends place etc. I love to use my gel cleanser with it and it feels like it gets right into my pores and cleans everything! My feels like a baby’s bum afterwards. Doesn’t take too long to charge and the battery lasts a while! I love washing my face with this, feels like a little bit of luxury in my own home on a budget.
Tips: Wet the brush head and then apply cleanser onto it, use in circular motions on the face.
