Manicare Sonic Mini Rechargeable Facial Cleansing Brush Reviews

Wow! After the first use I felt an improvement in my skin texture it provided a much deeper clean than purely using my hands and I felt my face felt so healthy after as I said one use! As a couple weeks went by my skin was actually clearing up a lot quicker than when I just apply cleanser with my hands. Because your hands are covered in dirt from your day I found it much more sanitary to use a brush for a better clean. The vibration settings helped your cleanser penetrate the skin deeper which helped my skin clear up.

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.

When I was a teenager who was trying desperately to conquer the mountainous terrain that was my face, I often used a facial cleansing brush. I remember exactly the stinging, roughed-up feeling that the rather stiff bristles used to leave on my poor red cheeks. Thankfully, using the Sonic Mini was nothing like those bad old days.

First of all, I love the design. The half-sphere shape sits neatly in your palm and the soft, matte pink is stylish enough to leave out in your bathroom, not tucked away in the back of a draw! The bristles of the brush are flexible and almost rubbery they're that gentle.

I have quite sensitive skin and I don't use a cleanser in the morning so I used this just at night for a minute or so. I could see from the brush that it was working to take off my sunscreen and makeup. Obviously, it's not suitable for removing eye makeup but it left my face feeling clean and fresh, without being scrubbed. I also use a cream cleanser, not a foaming one, and it did the job just fine. I imagine getting up a good lather with the brush would be more fun though!

I played around with both settings and I preferred the more vigorous one. I don't think the 'sonic vibrations' make much of a difference at all on the lower setting. I'd love to try the massage attachment that can be purchased separately. I imagine those settings would be more beneficial there, than with the cleansing brush.

The charge has held all week and I liked that it came with just a USB cord instead of a full power unit, so you're not having store yet another plug!

My only experience with other facial brushes is the Olay Regenerist so will compare to that as I would consider them in the same price range and level.

Cute and fits nicely in my hand. I love that this is rechargeable via USB so no need to purchase additional batteries. First time using I’d lather my face with face wash and use the brush to lather it up. Good speed and pressure. I found the bristles far more gentler than Olay. Face felt really clean and supple after use.

This is a great alternative if you want a cheap but reliable face brush. It doesn’t have many options for speed or pressure like the fancy ones but I guess this does the job for a basic brush. Good if you want to trial whether facial brushing is for you.

I’ll use this daily and it’s quick and easy. I have good skin so this works for me. Maybe one day I’ll upgrade but I’m more than happy with this for now.

I remember the first time i used this and right after touching my face i noticed immediately how much smoother it was. From the first time using it i could tell that it did have a deeper clean on my skin. After wearing foundation for the day, i would see that the foam on the brush would wash off extra foundation that my reuseable makeup wipe + hot shower hadnt taken off, which i didnt even realise was still on.

I have sensitive, oily acne prone skin so i was interested to see if it would help my acne without being too sensitive. Over time i noticed that my pores werent as filled as they usually were, and it did help with my acne (not completely though, but that is probably due to my cleanser). The brush has two settings, low and high, and i found that the high setting was too harsh on my face if i used it twice daily so i mostly used the low setting. I did find though (particurarly on the high setting) if it got anywhere near my undereyes, they immediately flared up. In the manual it did say to avoid the eye area, but even brushing over it once or twice made my undereyes get extremely sensitive and scab a bit. It mostly did this on the outer corner of my eye, and right under the middle of my eyebrows. I also found my skin wasnt getting as oily as it usually does. Before using this product (used the same cleanser) i found that by the afternoon my skin would start to get oily and shiny, but i havent faced this problem yet at all, as my face stays dry for the whole day.

My main negative to the product is that its very hard to dry. The instructions say to wipe it down then leave it in a dry place which I do every day, but i find when im picking up the brush, the bristles are still very wet.
