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.
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.
Manicare Sonic Mini Rechargeable Facial Cleansing Brush is a compact size, yet is very effective at cleansing the skin.
I had been looking at purchasing a cleansing brush to more effectively remove my long lasting and waterproof makeup but the price of many devices on the market was prohibitive. When I saw this budget friendly Manicare version, I jumped at the chance to try it.
The unit took less than an hour to fully charge before first use. It’s been over two months now of using it every night and I have yet to need to charge it again.
I use the brush head with my oil cleanser and massage gently on setting one to break down my makeup. I then use my gel cleanser with the brush for a second, deeper cleanse of the skin. I use it on my face and neck, just avoiding the eye contour area.
Cleansing nightly with the Manicare Sonic Mini Rechargeable Facial Cleansing Brush is a pampering experience that leaves my skin makeup free and glowing. It’s a must have addition to my daily skincare regime.
Tips: Apply cleanser to the brush head and massage in circular movements across dampened skin.
I was so excited to use this cute pink cleansing brush! I have always wanted something like this but thought it might be another little gadget that would stay on my shower shelf and not get used... BOY was i wrong!! Its easy to use, I just put my cleanser on the brush and move it around my face in circles for about a minute. I used it twice daily like it said but i have sensitive skin so i found it was a bit much for my skin so I have been using it every two days instead! Ive noticed it has helped a lot with my dry flaky winter skin! foundation is more smoother going on now. Since using it i have not had to recharge it yet, the brush is easy to put on and its easy to clean! Love that it is water resistant so it easily goes in the shower! I have already raved to my friends about this and have told them to go out and buy one!
Tips: Make sure you clean the brush head after every use
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.
I was excited to be chosen to trail the Sonic Mini. This arrived in a cute package with a pink bow to show case the facial cleansing brush. Charging was quick and instructions easy to follow. Clip on the head and activate by pressing the power button 1-2 times to increase speed. Replacement heads are sold separately if needed. Recommendation was to use 2x daily which I thought was too much. Water resistant, light weight and quiet, the cleaning aspect actually worked well. I applied cleanser to the brush and then directly to wet skin. The head cleaned easily with soap after use. Fun to use, this would make a great gift however I personally wouldn’t buy it as at $59.99 a little expensive.
Tips: Fully charge before use.
This cleansing brush may be small but it punches above its weight. I liked the size of the brush as I have little hands so it was a perfect fit and the power button is in the right location. The brush itself was really soft which for me was ideal. Currently being pregnant with sensitive skin this was perfect for getting that deep clean but still being gentle and non irritating. I had wondered about it being slippery once it got water on it but no problem there at all. I also loved that ot doesn't take up a lot of space in the shower.
Tips: Make sure you have somehow to store it so it can drain off to prevent constant damp in the bristles
My Skin type is combination, oily T-zone and slightly sensitive skin. I have only used this once per day (on the gentle setting), for 4 days. On the first day I felt some ‘stinging’on my face but it only lasted around 15 mins after I finished washing my face. I followed the recommended time limit for washing each area of my face. I used Dove facial wash with this brush. After 4 days, I can already see that my pores are a bit smaller and not as sunken on my cheeks. My nose area still has some blackheads and noticeable pores but not as much as before Overall,my skin feels smoother and looks brighter/cleaner. I will continue using this cleansing brush.Other Pros: portable and very easy to use.
Tips: Do a Patch test on your arm first before using on face. Ensure to thoroughly clean the brush after each use.
I haven't ever used anything like this before so I was very curious to give it a go, but also a little apprehensive that it could be a little harsh. I have combination skin leaning more to the dry side. My usual cleansing routine involves using a separate makeup remover to take off all my thick black eye makeup and then following up with a cream cleanser applied with my hands and then rinsed off. Very simple.
The packaging was a pretty straightforward cardboard box that was immediately discarded. No sense using that to store an item that is frequently wet. The handle is a little pink hemispherical unit with a detachable brush head. The brush head pops off to reveal the charge port. The plastic brush guard was nice touch that would be helpful for travel. I'm not sure I would trust the on and off switch to not activate by itself in my bag, but it probably wouldn't be the end of the world if it did. Charging was pretty quick via the USB cord. I opened the package for the first time when I got home from work and it was ready to go well before bed time.
Operation was simple with two speeds. You can wet your face and apply your cleanser directly to the brush head or just apply cleanser to your face and start brushing. One minute is the maximum recommended time.
My skin can be a bit wimpy but it was less harsh than I expected. It did a great job of cleaning, especially those stray bits of foundation around my nose that I often miss and have to go back to clean again! It is a waterproof unit but they caution against getting the charging port wet. I felt a bit nervous using it in the shower but it has survived its experience. Honestly I don't know if the vibrating function made any difference to the cleaning function at all, or whether the magic is all in the bristles. For this reason I would be hesitant to spend the $60 myself but I was very happy to be selected for trial.
I loved the first week of feeling virtuously clean and scrubbed. My skin stayed a slightly better version of the same which is great. I was worried about irritation, dryness or breakouts from trying something new. I'm taking a break from it for a few days at the moment as I have a terrible cold and my nose is raw from tissues. Once my face heals up though I will happily use it again.
Tips: Give the brush head a good clean after you've finished using it.
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.
