Amazing Little Thing
Easily the most effective facial device I've used so far!<br /><br />Hada Crie is Japan's #1 bestselling facial cleansing and moisturizing gadget line! I know we hear it all the time: "#1 bestseller this", "Top-selling that", but in this case, I think it might actually be true. It's wildly popular both in Japan and also worldwide (a simple google search will show you that).<br /><br />The device's appearance is so appealing! Lightweight, cute, and easy to use. It looks like a cute plastic toy, but the metal plate is where the MAGIC happens. It releases both positive and negative ions and is what cleanses, moisturize and minimize pores on the skin.<br /><br />Some people compare it to the Clarisonic, however, I bought the Clarisonic and used it for a month, the abrasive brush really didn't appeal to me. I felt like my face was the toilet and Clarisonic was the toilet brush, too harsh on my face! And I think Clarisonic only brushes the dead skincells on the superficial surface away, not really doing anything deep down. With prices about the same for both devices, I'd definitely go with Hada Crie!<br /><br />Also, it's great that we don't have to use any specialized products with Hada Crie. So you can use your existing skincare products. At the start, I was super confused trying to decide when to use what, but after a little research on the world wide web and some experimenting, I've found the device is quite flexible. You can try many different products and find out what products work best for your skin - switching cotton pads, toners, essence, etc. The KEY is to experiment and find out what works best for YOUR skin. I think of it as a treasure hunt, trying to dig out my treasure~<br />Keep in mind: Make sure you start with a relatively clean face, this CANNOT be used to remove makeup! Make sure to soak the cotton pad so that it won't make gliding the device over your face abrasive, but not too much that it will ooze liquid when you press it against your skin either.<br /><br />I also want to praise Hada Crie for its amazing user experience. Using it feels like I'm treating myself to a facial at the spa. I do the routine while watching TV or listening to music before bed, I find it super relaxing. This little thing is also so smart that you will know if you are not holding it right. And the vibrations actually briefly pauses if you pull the device away from the face, then continues the 5-min cycle when you put it back on the face. Kinda amazing how it knows... :)<br /><br />Now the RESULTS, using Hada Crie I was able to see how much dirt and grime was captured in the used cotton pads. It was quite disgusting but it shows how much dirt I still had even after washing my face. My pores are definitely smaller and I was very satisfied when I touched my face and found that they were obviously more plump. It really felt "bouncier" and like it was boosted with moisture! Love it!<br /><br />I don't agree with the comment of "not having enough time to use this". Hada Crie is actually very flexible in terms of usage. I can use each step separately as needed, and don't have to commit to the 5-min if I was in a hurry. For example, I use step 3 Moisturize mode alone in the morning for 1 min or so, and sometimes at night I just use step 1 Cleansing and step 3 Moisturize, and if I get real  lazy, I only use step 1. So I really didn't think it was a burden at all, rather, I was looking forward to washing my face each night!<br /><br />The battery life is great too. I bought it about 15+ days ago, been using it every night and sometimes during the morning as well, and I've only charged it once so far! Just for 5 hours as instructed when I first received it!<br /><br />Hada Crie has already become my holy grail~! Definitely the best investment I made this year and I highly recommend it!
