Review (4/5): Vibrational massaging face cleaning. Not a scrubber. Gently effective.
I feel the nature of the product, coupled with the quality, makes this an ideal gift option. Included in this product set is the device body, with silicone brush already attached, another PBT soft bristle brush, base/stand and travel/storage bag. I'm sure most people are familiar with silicone and how it'd feel as a brush. I did not know what PBT was, and the company does not explain this term. So, research finds: "Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) is a high-performance thermoplastic that is an optimal choice for food processing applications, as it is FDA- and USDA- approved for use with food." So, it is a plastic, that can be molded per need/specifications. And, since it is FDA and USDA approved, I have no concerns about the safety of the material. In fact, the bristle brush is soft and seems durable.
I tested the silicone brush head, since it as already attached. inserted a fresh AA battery, re-sealed the bottom cap. Applied some liquid soap to the silicone brush, added some water, then applied to a wet face. It actually felt like a nice soapy massage. i put it on the 2nd, faster speed, and the massage felt even better. Keep in mind that the brush head does not rotate, it vibrates. So, do not expect this to scrub your face clean. Instead, it feels like the silicone brush is humming on your skin.
The significant other tried it and liked it, too. Then she opted to change to the PBT brush head. She said that it seems to lather up the liquid soap better, and felt like it cleaned the skin better, especially at the faster speed.
I think that we both prefer using the second faster speed, and will use that most often. The stand base has a tiny hole in the well. I guess this is to allow some drainage, any water that drips down the handle. So, be aware that it's possible that water sill collect under the base.
This is a cute, functional face massager/cleaner. She said that she had a face scrubber, that only had one speed, and it tended to rough up the skin. So, it eventually got tossed. She likes the features and speeds of this product.
I will still wash my face as usual. But, every once in a while, a face massage would be a welcome treat.
