I've been wanting a facial cleanser device but I'm not so such which one I should pick? Have you tried Clarisonic or Foreo Luna? Which one is better? :)
Thank you!

I have the Clarisonic and I absolutely love it, it's the best investment I've ever made for my skin. I went from oily skin to much more normal and it gives my skin such a deep cleanse, my skin feels so clean after I use it and I can feel the difference when I don't use it. I highly recommend it!

I own both. Working at Sephora I bought them when I got extra employee discounts. Now I love my Clarisonic, like Alexis mentioned it cleans thoroughly and my skin feels amazing afterward. It also has improved the texture of my skin and reduced my oiliness. Now my Foreo I would say I love equally due to how my skin is now. I went from congested, very blemish prone, very oily skin to normal/oily with the very occasional breakout. A pro to the Foreo is you don't have to purchase a new brush head every 3 months like you do with the Clarisonic which is a con for that if you can't afford to do so within that time frame. Lastly, I feel they both clean thoroughly and I currently only use my Foreo due to how easy it is in my current routine and for the sake that I'm on a budget with the brush heads.

Thank you Kiran! Sounds like both are pretty amazing! I might go with the Foreo since it will cheaper in the long run :)

No problem! I'm sure you'll love it :) You should look into the Luna mini 2. I have the Luna mini 1. The Luna mini 2 has longer bristles so it's a bit more gentle. It has different textures. If you decide to do the bigger Foreo they have them designed for different skin types and cost a little bit more.

@Hailey I think you just have to recharge it every now and then? I'm not sure haha

I have both, and I prefer my Clarisonic. Both the Foreo and Clarisonic are sonic. The differences being that the Foreo has silicone touch points and the Clarisonic has an oscillating brush. The Foreo is different in the sense that there are 2 operation modes. The first mode is the cleansing mode, and the second is an 'anti aging' mode where you use the ridges on the opposite side to massage different areas of your face. Supposedly, this mode is supposed to stimulate collagen production. I have used the anti aging mode as directed for a while now, and I have not noticed any noted improvement in terms of resiliency.

On paper, the Foreo Luna kicks the Clarisonic's rear end. With the Foreo, you don't have to replace brush heads, and it holds a charge for forever. I've had my Foreo for a while now, and I have only had to re-charge it once, and it charges quickly whereas it takes 24 hours to get a complete charge on the Clarisonic. Going with either unit will produce the same result: Clean exfoliated skin, which will allow your other skin care products to absorb and penetrate for optimal results.

In my opinion, it just comes down to preference. I find the shape of the Foreo very awkward, which makes it more difficult to get to tighter areas on my face. I much prefer the brush heads, and I don't mind having to replace them every 3 months. Would I buy another Foreo unit? No... it's just not for me.

I had the clarisonic Mia 2 and ended up returning it. It wasn't awful but it really only dried my skin out and didn't clear up my acne at all. I did give it time to get through the purging period and still returned it. If I were you I would go for the foreo Luna, it looks gentler and you don't have to keep changing the brush heads.

@Hailey I believe the "limited number" is for the Foreo Luna Play which is kind of a ridiculous concept but this specific product is not rechargable. All other Foreos are rechargable :)
