Manicare Sonic Mini Rechargeable Facial Cleansing Brush Reviews

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.

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 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!
