As far as gizmos and gadgets go, the cleansing brush is one of the best. Not only do they all do a top notch job of cleansing your skin (yes, better than your fingers), but they also sweep away dead skin cells and help unblock pores, while also preparing your skin for topical treatments.
This means your anti-ageing lotions and potions are able to seep deeper into your skin, enabling them to work harder and faster for better results — ideal.
Want to purchase one but don’t know which cleansing tool is right for you? Each of these six devices will treat you — and your skin — exceptionally well. Promise.

Does your skin care routine include a cleansing device? Which one do you use and what do you like about it?
I’m still not into the cleansing devices. I reckon I’d start off okay but then I probably couldn’t be bothered using one.
The Foreo sounds great, but it’s so expensive.
I love cleansing devices, but only use silicone ones. Way note hygenic, longer lasting and gentle on the skin. They’re also great for massaging your facial serums and oils into your skin too.
I want a foreo! I’ve tried only the Olay Regenerist Advanced Cleansing System but didn’t like it.
I’ve tried Olay Regenerist Advanced Cleansing System I use the brush with other products now that the olay products are finished
Good information I have a normal ultrasonic brush washer
I want a foreo….cry
I had the Olay one pictured, but it got discontinued. Then I won a Dermasonic+ & it’s just AMAZING! It got rid of my entrenched blackheads completely, which no amount of cleansing scrubs or pore strips had ever managed to accomplish. I can’t rave about my Dermasonic+ enough – I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it!
