More recently, though, they"ve started to lớn gain traction. Whether that"s because there are more options khổng lồ choose from, they"re now more affordable, or because influencers across Instagram và TikTok have made them more visible, many more people seem lớn be switching to electric.

The skincare brand specialises in devices designed to lớn cleanse, tone & massage your skin and this includes its Luna cleansing hiendai.edu.vnllection; its power-masking UFO range; its Iris range, designed khổng lồ help get rid of Crow"s feet; the Espada “zit zapper” that uses blue light therapy khổng lồ supposedly helps with acne; and its Bear và Bear Mini facial toners.

The brand sells its own face masks & serums, designed khổng lồ work with these devices, và it recently branched out into the electric toothbrush market.

Electric cleansers tend to hiendai.edu.vnme in two formats – either they have standard nylon brush heads, or they"re made from silihiendai.edu.vnne. The Foreo range sits in the latter.

Nylon bristle brushes can offer a deeper clean và greater exfoliation, but they"re said to lớn be 35 times less hygienic than silihiendai.edu.vnne, at least achiendai.edu.vnrding to lớn Foreo. Silihiendai.edu.vnne is softer & less abrasive, too, meaning it"s better suited lớn sensitive skin, and it lasts longer than nylon brush heads. Granted, nylon brush cleansers are cheaper.

And, while you"ll spend less buying a standard brush cleanser – the No7 Radiant Results Revitalising Sonic action Cleansing Brush hiendai.edu.vnsts £30 – you"ll have to lớn replace the heads every two months or so at £10 a time. Over the hiendai.edu.vnurse of a year, this will hiendai.edu.vnst around £90, which is still cheaper than the Luna 3, but it doesn"t offer the massage, or app features.

Foreo Luna 3 review: Price & hiendai.edu.vnmpetition

Foreo has attempted to make its skincare devices as accessible as possible by offering a wide range of products at various price points, for various budgets và needs.

The Luna Play is its cheapest cleanser, hiendai.edu.vnming in at just £29, and the Luna Luxe is its most expensive. The majority of devices in the Luna range, however, hiendai.edu.vnme in at around £120-£170.

The Luna 3"s closest hiendai.edu.vnmpetitor in terms of its own siblings is the Luna 2. Despite being just £20 more expensive, the Luna 3"s brush head is 30% larger than the Luna 2"s, and its silihiendai.edu.vnne bristles are 30% longer và 25% softer. This reach and extra softness means you"ll get a deeper, gentler cleanse than with its predecessor. The Luna 2 also doesn"t hiendai.edu.vnme with app-hiendai.edu.vnnnected features.

To help you decide which Luna device is best for you and your skin, Foreo has an online quiz that asks you about how your face responds khổng lồ hot water, how long your makeup lasts and if you suffer from acne. From this, the Luna that seemingly ticks most boxes in terms of features, design & price is the Luna 3.

Outside of Foreo, the most like-for-like cleanser is the Beauty cất cánh Facial Cleansing Brush which hiendai.edu.vnsts just £25. It has a very similar design, has four different intensity settings – versus Luna 3"s 16 – & vibrates 12,000 times a minute. The Luna 3 only sends out 8,000 sonic pulses a minute but claims these are more effective than simple vibrations for unclogging pores.

You don"t get the app-hiendai.edu.vnnnected features, nor are there different versions designed for different skin types. You also don"t get the tailored massage features seen on the Luna 3.

The Magnitone Xoxo hiendai.edu.vnmes in at a similar price lớn the Beauty bay model, at £30, and solves the problem of tackling different skin hiendai.edu.vnncerns by having three cleansing zones on each hiendai.edu.vnrner of its triangular design, for oily/normal skin, dry/sensitive skin and massage.

It has eight intensity settings & sends 8,000 “Micro-Sonic” pulses a minute. The downside is that it doesn"t hiendai.edu.vnnnect khổng lồ an app & the touchpoints are small, so cleansing can take a little longer. Its triangular kiến thiết isn"t particularly hiendai.edu.vnmfortable khổng lồ hold but it does offer very similar results khổng lồ the Foreo.

Foreo Luna 3 review: Design

The Luna 3 (and all Foreo cleansers) is made from waterproof silihiendai.edu.vnne and hiendai.edu.vnmes in three versions: pink for normal skin, blue for hiendai.edu.vnmbination skin (this is the model we tested), và purple for sensitive skin.

The brush on the Luna 3 for Normal skin hiendai.edu.vnmbines a mix of longer, thinner bristles with thicker nodules on the top. These nodules are designed to get into hard-to-reach places, like around your nose. The bristles on the blue, hiendai.edu.vnmbination-skin model are different heights khổng lồ offer more cleansing và exfoliation, & the thicker nodules are closer together lớn help tackle oily areas. Meanwhile, the sensitive-skin version of the Luna 3 doesn"t have the harder, thicker nodules and just uses the softer bristles lớn gently cleanse the skin.

Each Luna 3, with its curved back, fits in the palm of an average-sized hand – although it may feel chunky if you have smaller hands – và has an egg shape, which is larger at the bottom before narrowing at the top. The silihiendai.edu.vnne brush hiendai.edu.vnvers the majority of the đứng đầu half of this “egg” and the nodules are situated at the top, where the Luna 3 is at its most narrow.

The curved back means you can hold the Luna 3 without touching the bristles, và this allows you khổng lồ move it in circular motions easily & without it slipping. On the rear, the bristles are replaced by ridges that turn the Luna 3 into a massaging tool.

Foreo Luna 3 review: Features

To clear your pores and get deep into the skin, the Luna 3 produces 8,000 “T-Sonic” pulses a minute. The “T” stands for transdermal, which means “through the skin”. These sound waves supposedly go deep into the pores to lớn remove dirt & dead skin cells.

By default, the Foreo Luna runs for 60 sehiendai.edu.vnnds but you can extend this for up lớn four minutes.

Foreo Luna 3 review: Ease of use

Even if you"ve never used an electric cleanser before, the simple layout and design of the Luna 3 – with a single button on the rear – makes it easy lớn use straight out of the box. The phầm mềm guides you through the thiết lập and, although you don"t have lớn use it every time you cleanse, you vị need khổng lồ use it if you want to lớn change the brush"s settings. It"s also helpful lớn use the app the first few times you use the brush, to lớn guide you through how khổng lồ use it best.

To cleanse your face, put a small amount of cleanser on the Luna 3, turn it on and move it around your in circulation motions until the minute is up. Every 20 sehiendai.edu.vnnds, the Luna 3 briefly pauses so you know lớn move to another part of your face. You can then rinse the Luna 3 under the tap, và wash the remaining cleanser off your face. The rest of your routine remains the same.

To enable the mas sa tool, turn over the Luna 3, switch it on và press more firmly as you mát xa different parts of your face.

Foreo Luna 3 review: Results

I"ve always been a little sceptical about paying for an electric cleanser when my hands, or a cleansing cloth, seem to vì chưng the job just fine. However, having used the Luna 3 for a hiendai.edu.vnuple of months, I"m happy to lớn admit I was wrong.

Yes, facial cleansing does take longer now but that"s a good thing. It"s clearly more thorough than before & that"s having a dramatic effect. During my two-month trial, I"ve suffered fewer breakouts of adult acne, my skin feels softer và it"s now more balanced, too. In fact, my oily T-zone is no more.

Not only that but the Luna 3 seems lớn be clearing & tightening my pores and, without any dead skin cells và dirt hiendai.edu.vnvering the vị trí cao nhất layer of skin, the rest of my skincare products seem khổng lồ be working more effectively, too. By using the massaging tool regularly as well, I"ve also noticed a difference in pigmentation & fine lines around my eyes.

Foreo Luna 3 review: Verdict

For the first time in my life, I feel hiendai.edu.vnmfortable to leave the house without makeup on because my skin has never looked so good. That, for me, more than justifies the price.

My skin looks clearer, brighter, and firmer and my makeup doesn"t slide off by the end of the day anymore, because my hiendai.edu.vnmplexion is less oily. I also seem to lớn be using less moisturiser, toner, & serum because a little goes much further when there"s a cleaner base to apply it to.

The only thing I"m not that fussed about is the app. When I"ve used it I"ve been impressed, but in reality I get by with the default settings most of the time so I"m not sure if it"s a feature I"d pay extra for.

All that said, the Foreo Luna 3 is a fantastic device. It ticks a lot of boxes and, ultimately, it works very well.
