Foreo or fingers?

So Foreo have released the Foreo 3.

Until September 2019, it’s available exclusively through Mecca.

So here are my questions as I research it…

Is anyone considering purchasing it?

If so what do you think of the app driven aspect?

Is it easy to operate?

In your opinion, is it an accessible device for people with dexterity issues such as arthritis?

What is the battery life overall?

For those who own a Foreo 2, does it offer anything markedly different to the Foreo 2?

How does it compare to other cleansing devices?

Is it worth the extra money?

How does it feel against the face?

What do you think of the look and design overall?

What would you improve?

Do you use the anti-ageing side or just the cleansing side?

What’s the warranty like?

Is there are a good recycling programme?

As I purchased a LUNA 2 through the recent RR, my research is more out of “want” rather than “need”.

❤️☺️ Thanks Lovelies!

Thank-you all for your advice!

I use a 20% Glycolic acid cleanser that I keep on for a few minutes before washing off.

I received the Dermalogica microfoliant as part of the BIB prize pack.

Was thinking of alternating the two then ultimately graduating to the Foreo…

I don’t have a Foreo or Clarisonic (yet) but cleansing brushes definitely give a deeper cleanse than using fingers alone to cleanse. I can’t say which is the best cleansing device out of the two; I had my eye on Clarisonic for ages, after reading comparisons by reviewers & bloggers between the two I am very keen on trying the Foreo =)

i just ordered a foreo yesterday and am
looking forward to hopefully seeing some good results!

I’ve been using Clarisonic for over three years. I personally can’t live without it and it has really improved the clarity of my skin. I use it 5 nights out of 7, I used to use it every night but I’ve cut back since I started using retinol as I find my skin doesn’t need so much exfoliation. I use the sensitive brush heads, the others don’t work as well for my skin (I have dry/combination, non sensitive skin).

Mine only needs charging once a month, I found at the beginning I could go almost two months on a single charge.

I haven’t used the Foreo, but I am thinking sometime next year I will take the plunge and try it out. I don’t think I could go back to just using my fingers to cleanse my face.

I have a foreo.

Do I like it? Yes. Is it a must? No.

I think it’s a nice to have. It does cleanse skin deeper, but I don’t use it every day anyway. I feel it’s a little too much to use it every day. If you don’t want to spend that kind of money, I genuinely think you can achieve a similar result with a gentle exfoliation.

I use a Clarisonic. I love how there’s different brush attachments that you can use, including a foundation brush. I notice a huge difference between my fingers and the Clarisonic. I get less blackheads on my nose and chin when I use my Clarisonic.

I own a Skin Physics Dermasonic+ cleansing brush, which is similar to the Foreo. It’s silicon so it doesn’t harbour bacteria & never needs replacement brush heads. A single charge lasts months. From the very first time I used it, my complexion GLOWED! I could SEE a difference! I think the silicon type cleansing brushes are amazing!

I previously owned an Olay cleansing brush, with replaceable brush heads. Even this cheapie was miles ahead of my usual cleansing scrubs applied by hand.

In my opinion cleansing brushes really are superior to hand cleansing. I definitely favour the silicon type.

Both devices give deeper cleansing than plain old fingers but there are slight differences between them.

For Clarisonic, the device is generally bulkier and require more frequent recharging from once a week to once a fortnight. Most brushes give deep cleansing and also help with exfoliation but can be a little harsh for sensitive skin. The brush heads need to be changed every 3-6 months. I have one for 3 years and still using it. Unsure what is the lifespan of the device.

For Foreo, the device is much smaller and a single recharge will last up to 3 months. The silicon brush is attached to the device and does not require change. The brush is also gentler on the skin and perfect for those with sensitive skin, but I always feel Clarisonic gives a more thorough clean. I have one which last me 3 years already but I read that the lifespan of the device will be between 3-5 years before the battery dies out.

Hope this helps.
