Best Face Cleansing Brush Reviews 2023

The price of face cleansing brushes varies dramatically! A quality product can run anywhere from $15 to $175, depending on its features and warranty. You don’t necessarily have to spend a lot, but a cheap face cleansing brush probably won’t have the longevity of a higher end model. You can also expect to pay more for face cleansing brushes that can be used for more than daily cleansing.

As you’ll see in our review, some face cleansing brushes are appropriate for daily cleansing alone, or daily cleansing paired with deep cleaning, or even come with alternate brush heads and speeds for exfoliation, microdermabrasion, callus removal, and body polishing. Before making your pick, just take a moment to consider what you want out of a face cleansing brush.

As you’ve probably gathered by now, face cleansing brushes come in many different shapes and sizes, at different price points, and have a slew of different features. We can’t tell you which type of face cleansing brush is right for you, but there are some features that quality face cleansing brushes tend to have in common.

When purchasing a face cleansing brush, you should look at a model that:

• Has a reliable power source
• Comes with at least one brush head
• Is gentle enough for daily use
• Has a stylish appearance you don’t mind on your bathroom counter
• Is compact for traveling
• Has a warranty, especially if it’s pricey
• Has different speeds/modes
• Is waterproof
• Is compatible with your unique skin type, i.e. sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, aging skin

Let’s learn a little bit more about the construction and design elements of a quality face cleansing brush.

All electric face cleansing brushes are pretty similar in design. They usually feature a handle, which may have a silicone grip for added control, and an area at the top for various brush attachments. Most face cleansing brushes either use AA batteries, a magnetic wall charger, or a USB charging system to supply power. This means that most of them are also cordless. Some brands also offer different colors and designs that add a touch of personality to their products!

One very important aspect of a face cleansing brush’s design is whether or not it’s waterproof, and to what extent it’s waterproof. Most versions are water-resistant and can be used in the shower, but can’t be submerged in water. Some more expensive models may be 100% waterproof and are appropriate for using the bathtub.

The two other important factors go hand-in-hand – speeds and accessories. Some face cleansing brushes have a single speed. These are usually used for daily cleansing and nothing more. There is an exception to this – some high-end face cleansing brushes use sonic vibration to clean deep inside the pores, which eliminates the need for multiple speed settings. Most face cleansing brushes on the market have two speeds and recommend using different attachments based on the selected speed. This totally depends on the manufacturer. Some manufacturers recommend using the low speed for daily cleansing and the higher one for exfoliation or microdermabrasion, while other companies recommend the opposite. It depends on the product itself, so be sure to double check before you start using it.

When considering how easy a face cleansing brush is to use, you’ll want to think about the power supply and the different treatments it performs. AA batteries and rechargeable face cleansing brushes each have their pros and cons. Can you remember to regularly charge your brush if it’s rechargeable? If the battery is dead, it’s ineffective, so definitely consider which option is best for your lifestyle.

Most face cleansing brushes that have interchangeable heads make it easy to pop off one head and put on another. Find out which head you should use for which treatment and read the directions as to how to use it on your face. Most brushes require you to wet the face and brush head, apply a cleanser or other type of treatment serum and gently move it around your face (avoid the eye area) for about 60 seconds. If you can afford to splurge, higher priced models may have built-in timers!
