I picked this up from the Warehouse when it was a much hyped item on the forum. I only used it once or twice a week, in the mornings. I haven’t used it at night to remove makeup. I didn’t like the idea of brushing makeup into my skin to remove it.
To be honest, I’m a bit conflicted on this one. It does work well to leave your skin feeling clean and smooth. But since purchasing, I have done a bit more research on cleansing brushes and I’ve decided they’re a bit too harsh for your skin. I’ve also started using chemical exfoliatiors, and this along with double cleansing with a flannel, means that skin just doesn’t feel like it’s needs manual exfoliating as well. The cleanser that comes with this is horribly harsh and smells like plastic! If you are keen to use this brush, use your own cleanser instead.
I stopped using this some time ago. I hear they are great to use on feet or bumpy KP skin on arms and legs so I plan on giving that a whirl some time.
The Cleansing System comes in with the cleansing device, brush head, a tube of cleanser and 2 AA batteries. It is a lovely surprise that it comes with AA batteries. It is ready to go! I noticed with Clarisonic for example you have to charge the device before you can use it. This Cleansing System itself is very easy to set up and use.
After I first use, I was really impressed, my skin never felt so clean like before. The brush is so soft when it touches my skin. The brush spins 360 degrees. The device has 2 speed settings and it remembers your last speed setting. When you turn the device, it will operate on the speed you were on the last time. I have been using this for about 1 month, it has made a huge difference in my skin’s appearance.
After removing my makeups, I skin usually still feels like it was not fully cleaned even after cleansing. It felt like my pores are still slightly clogged. I noticed that and had been wanting to buy a Cleansing System but still did not want to pay $165 for a Clinique one. I read some reviews on Beauty Review about this Olay Cleansing System and decided to get one. I am so pleased I did.
After removing my makeup, I wet my face, apply cleanser onto my face, then run a bit of water over the brush and just let the brush do the work. It feels absolutely amazing! The brush cleans my skin so well, removes all the excess residue makeup and gently exfoliates skin. I could feel my skin is absolutely clean, something that I never felt like before using the brush. The brush does not dry out my skin even though I have dry/sensitive skin type. After cleansing, I apply Rosehip Oil and went to bed. I wake up with beautiful skin, super smooth. It helps my makeup for the day goes on smoothly, looks so natural on my skin and lasts longer.
After using it for a month, my skin looks amazing, glowing, way smoother, so brighter and flaky dry patches are gone. It is brilliant! I feel so confident with my skin lately that sometimes I even go out without wearing makeup.
I highly recommend this to everyone. If you are looking to buy a Cleansing System but don’t want to spend lot of money on it, go for this Olay Cleansing Sytem. It is affordable, very effective, ready to use and good size for travelling.
