Best of the Best
SUMMARY
PROS
CONS
This device is a bit pricey but the silicon touch points put this facial cleansing brush ahead of the pack.
It gets extremely good user reviews and the multiple features of this brush make it well worth the price.
The 12-speed, pulsating action makes the Foreo Luna 2 adjustable for all skin types. Lower speeds are excellent for anti-aging and soft skin applications. The battery holds a charge for seven months.
To get the full effect, a good skin cream must be used in conjunction with the device. Women with oily skin prone to acne flare-ups sometimes report a negative experience and prefer other facial cleansing brushes.

SUMMARY
PROS
CONS
This excellent two-speed brush pampers women’s faces with soft strokes. Women love that in only one minute every evening they manage to maintain smooth, youthful skin. It is highly recommended especially in harsh, hot climates.
We like that this facial cleansing brush is fully waterproof so you can use it in the shower. The durable brush heads last for three months. The brush not only cleanses but also exfoliates, and removes stubborn makeup and cosmetic residue.
We have learned that chemicals in the cleanser irritate some women’s skin. Also the cleanser has a fragrance that is not appealing to everyone.
SUMMARY
PROS
CONS
We praise Clinique for giving women detailed directions on how to use this facial cleansing brush on each part of the face.
Women with small hands love this compact, lighter brush. As it’s less pricey than others, we think it’s a great bargain.
We love the light design and found that the tip makes it easier to clean around the nose.
The motor turns off after 30 seconds so we had to restart it to continue the treatment. This facial cleansing brush can be irritating for some, but for those that prefer a deeper facial scrub, this brush could be just right.
SUMMARY
PROS
CONS
This worthy facial cleansing brush features cutting-edge technology that incorporates simultaneous rotation and vibration. It has two intensities, one for gentle and one for deep cleansing. We found it to be a good buy for the price.
A big plus is that this facial cleansing brush comes with two brush heads for various types of facial treatments. The one-minute timer helps us achieve the best application. We like that the heads clean easily.
We feel that it’s unfortunate that a charge lasts only twenty minutes, and even on the stronger setting, the brushing intensity is too gentle for some women.
SUMMARY
PROS
CONS
Millions of women are totally enamored with this brush. It removes makeup and cosmetics or facial masks well. Our skin tone and appearance improved every week and we found the best results came after eight weeks. However, it has only one speed so it isn’t the best for women who need a deeper cleanse. Women who live in harsh climates may need a more flexible brush.
This facial cleansing brush is much less expensive than others, so it is excellent as a starter brush. It gives us a very soft touch.
This brush has only one speed. Many women find that it is too slow and too soft to truly clean as well as they would like.

Facial Cleansing Brushes – Our Expert Advice
- To give you an idea of the range of facial cleansing brushes on the market and all the things they can do for your beauty regime, our AskMjareb spa beauticians give a few great recommendations that will point you in the right direction:
- For a fantastic starter product
- that delivers on a gentle, yet highly effective two-speed rotating facial cleansing brush, try out the Olay ProX Advanced Cleansing Brush. We found it really primed up your skin, leaving it clean and exfoliated but never irritated. The price is not going to break the bank either.
- A really high-end product that uses an advanced silicone brush
- head suitable for all skin types combined with Dual T-Sonic technology that delivers a multi speed powerful face exfoliator is the Foreo Luna 2. We found that its results most closely resembled a spa facial. Just two minutes a day and you’ll really see the difference in your complexion including tighter pores and less need for blackhead removal tools like facial masks and facial scrubs. It costs a little more, but you are so worth it!
- A well-designed fiber bristle brush hat has a dual zone head surface
- that is really suited to sensitive skin, but delivers on radiant results, is the Clinique Sonic System Cleansing Brush. Without doubt the brand alone means that they are experts in skin care and this model won’t let you down. It comes with a convenient charger that allows operation for up to 3 hours for handy portable use.
Facial Cleaning Brushes Features
- Brush Speed- Facial cleansing brushes consist of a rotating or pulsating brush head with tiny vibrating bristles that give a facial treatment consisting of a light scrub on your skin to help promote a breakout-free, bright complexion. We loved the Olay ProX Advanced Cleansing Brush that features multiple brushes and two speed variables that will both clean deeply and exfoliate dead skin cells.
- Bristle Material- Facial cleansing brushes have either fiber bristles or silicon bristles. Both types work extremely well with fiber brushes offering a deeper, more aggressive facial treatment like a facial mask or facial scrub. By contrast, silicon brushes are softer, gentler on the skin. A fiber brush head will generally need to be replaced every 3 months.
- Timers- Overuse may lead to unnecessary skin irritation so it’s very good that most brushes have a timer to keep us on schedule so we don’t overdo it. The Clinique Sonic System is a great example of an automatically controlled timer.
- Skin Types- Brushes and kits are designed specifically for different skin types, normal, oily, or sensitive or as most of us, a combination or all three. Therefore a gentle, yet effective brush that won’t cause irritation such as the Foreo Luna 2 is a smart choice for all skin types.
- Price- Facial brushes have a wide range of prices. On our recommendation, for your first brush, pick a lower-priced option to get you started – such as the Olay ProX Advanced.
