I've always wanted to try one of those cleaning brush tool like the Clarisonic, but the price for that is out of my budget. There are other brands that I have seen make brush tools as well, but the cost is still pricey. So when I saw that Olay came out with a cleaning brush tool at a very affordable price, I was ecstatic. I am a fan of Olay products and am satisfied with the results I get with their products that I have tried. I know their face brush has been out for a while now, but I finally just got the chance to buy it. I am very excited to try it out and will keep you guys updated on my review and results. This review will go on for one month.
First reaction/thoughts: The brush is a decent size that fits well into my hand. It runs on batteries and does come with two of them in the package already. However, when I put the battery into where it is suppose to go, it is a little hard when trying to pull the cover off. The package consists of the brush itself, two AA batteries, Pro-X Exfoliating Renewal Cleanser, and one replaceable soft bristle brush head. The brush head, when I put it on to the brush handle, it goes in place smoothly and comes off smoothly. However, when I put the brush head on and turn the power on, it looks wobbly. Though it looks like it might fall off, it doesn't and keeps in place.
Day 1:
The first time using this brush went well. I had it on the highest speed and it didn't hurt or irritate my skin. It is very easy to move around on my face and the clean up is very simple. After cleaning my face with it, I would rinse and clean my brush very well with hot or warm water. A few cons that I do notice is that first the brush head has a wobbly movement. The brush head does stay in place with the holder, however, it just doesn't look secure that makes it look like it might fall off, but it doesn't. (We'll see how long this brush lasts). Secondly, there is no cover for the brush tool, so if you just set it sitting out on your bathroom counter, it will collect dust and dirt. I recommend keeping the clear package that comes in the box. I kept my clear package and after each use, I would just put the brush tool back into that clear package and then back into the box (see images). Anyways, I do feel that this brush does help clean my pores and skin a lot better than using my hands.
Week 1:
I started out on the highest speed, but halfway through the week, I switched to the lowest speed. For me, the high speed was too much for my skin. In addition, I did use the brush day and night. I also tried using the brush on my pimples, but it only made them worse. So I wouldn't recommend this brush for new, sore pimples that have appeared on your skin nor for skin that have acne until you have minimize the soreness and size of the pimple. Overall, I did feel like it gave me a good clean every time I used it. The sample size exfoliating face cream that came with it was good for my skin overall. I like that it doesn't have big exfoliating beads and works very well with the brush. I think the exfoliating cream and brush is a wonderful duo that works very well for my skin.
Week 2:
I did cut back on using the brush from two times a day to only once a day, usually during the night time. Sometimes I would also do every other day for a morning wash if I am going to exfoliate in the morning. To me, I don't think it was necessary to use it all the time. I think it is most helpful after a day of wearing make-up, that way it gives me a deep, thoroughly clean. Like I mention, I only use it in the morning to exfoliate, but only if my skin has some dry, flaky areas, other than that, I went back to using my hands to wash my face on those every other days I am not using the brush in the morning.
Week 3:
I did try this out in the shower as well. I think it works just fine in the shower, mainly because the battery area or the entire thing itself is well tightly secured that it makes the water not be able to seep in between. However, I am not a big fan of using face tool in the shower because I notice that for me I can't see where I am brushing my face and I think it is a waste of water. For me, I wash/scrub each area of my face for a good 10 seconds. The entire time I was standing in the shower scrubbing my face with this brush, the water was just running clear down the drain.
Final week - video response (to be posted)
