Manicare Sonic Mini Rechargeable Facial Cleansing Brush Reviews

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!)

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.

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.
