In addition, what makes FOREO’s LUNA unique is its use of bluetooth technology.
Through their LUNA line, FOREO combines sonic cleaning technology with the antimicrobial properties of silicone, creating a portable and easy to clean device which eliminates the need for replacement heads. Since then, they have easily become the leading brand in face brush technology (with success in electronic toothbrushes as well).
PMD Clean Pro (comes in different colors) Top Alternative to Clarisonic #2: Foreo LunaįOREO is a brand from Sweden that formed in 2013, several years after Clarisonic. Original PMD Clean (comes in many different colors) While this device is larger than the Forea LUNA fofo I’ll be discussing below, it’s still more travel friendly than my Clarisonic ever was! My PMD Models of PMD Clean Smart Facial Cleaning Device One of my favorite features is that this brush is double sided, with the non-brush side perfect for massaging in my face products (other PMD models feature a luxurious Rose Quartz heated side). So far, I’ll say that it’s definitely easier to use and clean than a Clarisonic. I actually received the exact device pictured above in a recent CAUSEBOX, and will post a review once I write one.
While not as many as Clarisonic’s advertised 200 to 350 movements per second, I imagine that 7000 vibrations is still more effective at cleaning your skin than manual scrubbing.
In terms of the the “Sonic Cleaning”, the PMD advertises four speed/vibration settings with up to 7000 vibrations per minute. It’s easy to clean and never needs to be replaced, saving you money on costly replacement brushes. The PMD Clean Smart Facial Cleaning Device is made with waterproof silicone that is odor-resistent and hypoallergenic. While known for their microdemabrasion devices, PMD also makes facial cleaning brushes. Top Alternatives to Clarisonic Top Alternative to Clarisonic #1: PMD Clean Smart Facial Cleaning Device
Below are a list of top alternatives to Clarisonic. With Clarisonic shutting down, what options are left for facial brushes? There are actually plenty. If you are still interested in trying Clarisonic, or need to get brushes, now is your chance before they are gone for good. There are also a number of people reselling devices and brushes on eBay, Poshmark, and Mercari. The official Clarisonic site, along with beauty retailers Sephora and Ulta, are offering massive sales on devices and brushes. I know that many Clarisonic fans are scrambling to stock up before the company officially closes on September 30, 2020. Regardless, Clarisonic was an innovator and huge name in the skincare industry for over a decade and it’s sad to see them go. Also, brush replacements quickly added up in price (though Amazon sells generic brands for much cheaper). While the device kept my nose clear, it was a pain to clean and not exactly travel friendly (I had the original model). To be honest, with the exception of my nose pores, I haven’t seen much a difference in my skin from discontinuing the Clarisonic. Then I had surgery and subsequent steroid-induced cystic acne, so the Clarisonic went into my bathroom drawer and I forgot about it. I eventually figured out I was over-exfoliating my face and switched to a softer brush and once a day use.Īfterwards, I actually ended up using the Clarisonic on a regular basis for several years, only to stop when I was transitioning to an Asian skincare routine. While it certainly cleaned up the pores on my nose (a perpetual problem area), my face broke out with cystic acne within a week. I remember purchasing it roughly a decade ago after hearing rave reviews from a Sephora representative. This morning, my husband turned to me and said, “Clarisonic is going out of business.” My immediate reaction was, “WHAT?!” I suppose I’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, but it still surprises me when my husband knows more about beauty and fashion news than I do.Ĭlarisonic was my first face brush, and one with which I had a love/hate relationship.
