Manicare Salon Thermal Sonic Cleanser

I was super excited to try out the manicure sonic cleanser. It is easy to use and gentle on the skin. It lathers up well and left my skin feeling well cleansed after use. I found that my acne had improved since I’ve started using this device. Would definitely recommend.

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 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.

I was lucky enough to be selected to trial the Manicare Salon Thermal Sonic Cleanser and I had no set expectations of what the product would be like, as I have never used anything like it before.

The packaging is nice, and the gadget itself is small, sleek - it fits nicely in my hand and is easy to grip.

Another good thing about it being small is that it takes up hardly any space on the bathroom vanity - or your travel bag if you wanted to take it on holiday with you.

I used my usual cleanser cream with this, and the vibration lathered it nicely, and it felt like it worked it into my skin more than what it normally would.

After using it, my skin felt more smooth - like it had been really gently exfoliated.

Cleaning the device after use was quick and easy.

The only thing that stopped me from rating this a 5/5 was that the shape of it means it can't reach certain parts of your face. I wasn't able to get the crease in between my nose and cheek, or the space in between the eyebrows but just above the tear duct part of the eye. The design could have had a nib or a slightly pointed tip that would allow users to reach every part of the face.

I was quite excited to trial out this cleanser tool but I do feel a little bit let down. The main thing that I'm let down about is that mine isn't heating up and if it is, it doesn't feel like it. Secondly, it's sooooo loud! Embarrassingly loud. Everyone in my household thought I was using another battery operating device of a similar sound (I'm talking about you, SP2!) I do like the softness of the bristles and it feels nice on my skin and I like that I can use it in the shower so I will use it again but I think a quieter version would be better

This little gadget is as the title says a great idea in theory and with a few tweaks to the design I think it would be fantastic.

It’s a powerful little device and the warming sensation is quite pleasant.

I used this twice a day for 5 days and it left my skin feeling mostly clean and I think it’s great that you can use it in the shower.

The small things to note for this are:

1. It’s great that it’s a wireless charger however because the base can’t get wet charging it in the bathroom isn’t viable. The lights on the device to show it’s charging are very hard to see as the lights are on the piece that lays against the charger so you have to look underneath to check it’s charging.

2. The device itself is difficult to get around the curves of your face so it almost needs to be a lower profile on one side as getting around your nose is difficult so found I’d need to hand cleanse part of my face - this is especially important because of wearing masks and having an oily face.

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.

It arrived in a cute purple colour box and once opened I tried looking for the directions booklet but there was none. You can read down the side of the box but then I googled it. I did then charge it a bit, but confusing as not sure which way to charge it (up side M symbol or underneath the soft bristles part). Also the ON button was not that visible and to turn it on, you need to really push down your finger to get it started. I placed some cleanser on it with a little bit of water, then once turned on it's got quite a powerful vibration. It was felt nice and soft against my skin. Then once done, I washed off the cleanser and patted dry. I then placed my moisturizer on and have to say my face felt really nice and smooth. I never used the warming option but overall it worked well. I don't know if I would go out and buy one but it was a different option then the usual facials.

Packaging is cute and the 3 step instructions seemed easy enough - I missed the 'press power for 3 seconds' part though! Lol I happened upon a feature that wasn't listed anywhere on the packaging..there are different intensities of sonic vibrations! Once you start it up press the button again to increase vibration. The unit itself sits snug in the hand and is easy to maneuver in circular motions over your face, it is however difficult to get into the creases around your nose and eyes because of its shape. For the very first use I decided to go whole hog and use my Dermalogica thermal skin polish and the combination did not disappoint..My skin felt smooth and taut and I absolutely love that feeling! Over the next few days I used it with different products, with and without the warming feature, in and out of the shower and sometimes just with water. My preference was definitely with product and my cream cleanser was one that worked really well with it. Loved using it in the shower! The warming feature needs time to heat up which isnt ideal as Im impatient- but worked around it by switching it on and leaving it while I brushed my teeth. I preferred to just use it as is most of the time as I didnt feel much difference with the warming feature. Overall I liked it and did a good job of cleansing my skin.
