So this was a product that I had debated over buying for a very long time. I had always wanted a cleansing brush, but due to a number of factors including price I had always held off buying one. I had always thought about buying the more expensive Clarisonic Mia which starts at £100 but always felt I couldn't justify it for the price and what if it didn't work? Then I came across the Rio Sonicleanse. I had heard about it a while back but had never really thought about it as being a viable option simply because it didn't have the coveted "Clarisonic" name on the handle. A few weeks ago I received an email telling me that the Sonicleanse was available on amazon for the reduced price of £40 and at £60 less than the cheapest Clarisonic I started to do some research and found that this was a very attract option. I had read reviews about both facial brushes and found that although the Sonicleanse never out did the Clarisonic it was a close contender and for the price who could complain? So I took the plunge and 3 days later my Sonicleanse arrived.
I absolutely love this brush. It has improved the look and appearance of my skin massively. Since using the brush the blackheads that have always been a permanent feature on my nose have noticeably shrunk as have the open pores on my cheeks. Products sink into my skin better and I feel they also work more effectively too. I've also found that the bumps that lay under my skin have also completely disappeared. I did find however that the brush can be quite harsh on the skin if over used, I did suffer from dryness for the first few days but now I only use the brush once a day in the evenings. A word of warning however I did find that after using the brush for the first week my skin went through the "purging" stage.I had read about this so it was no surprise when it did actually happen (although I thought I had got away with it). I found that I did have an increase in the amount of spots I had however this is apparently normal and happens when the skin is being cleansed from deep down and is getting rid of all the rubbish that has been underlying for years.
The brush also includes two settings. The first one is more intense and the second is for more sensitive skin which is the setting I mainly use. It also comes with a spare brush head.
Although I would not say the brush is an absolute miracle worker I would say that it has improved the condition of my skin massively, I have never had terrible skin but have always been prone to the odd breakout and enlarged pores, which have been reduced hugely since using the brush. Although I do not have the Sonicleanse to compare it too I do feel that this product is worth the money and if you're looking into buying a facial brush this is one I would highly recommend looking at as an option. You can find it here on amazon for £39.99 at the moment.
Have you tired both the sonicleanse and the clarisonic? What do you think?
Lots of Love
