Rio Soniclease Skin Care - First Impressions



The Rio Soniclease is a micro-pulsating technology device that used daily helps to minimise pores,
oily and dry patches, blemishes and generally improve the appearance of the skin.
It also prepares the skin so it absorbs any treatment such as moisturiser more efficiently.
The brush head is dense yet soft enough for the most delicate and sensitive of skins.
You can adjust the settings to suit your skin type - two settings low and firm.
It is waterproof, rechargeable with a docking unit and a 20second timer alert so you have a more 
complete cleansing routine.
It also comes with a spare brush head so you can replace it when your initial brush has seen better days.


I have used the Soniclease twice - well four times in total, two days morning and evening
and thought I would share my first impressions.
The first usage was the oddest I am very much a muslin cloth girl and brushing my face of sorts felt bizarre.
Once you get past that it is actually quite relaxing and not at all ticklish...yes that was a worry of mine!
I normally use a foam type cleanser but did not find that the best option when using the Soniclease,
instead I found a typical foaming gel type cleanser to work well.
I also discovered that it is best to apply the cleanser directly to the brush rather than your face.
The Soniclease removed every little scrap of make- up and left my skin feeling super soft,
I did also notice that my moisturiser absorbed much quicker than usual.
So far I have encountered the dreaded purge stage that some have experienced 
but I am very new to the concept and this is my initial thoughts so this time next week
things could be dramatically different!

I know this type of cleansing product is pricey and not something most of us would buy on a whim.
I have decided in order to give you all the best in-depth review possible that I will do updates
as we all know skin care can take months to properly work.
So I will update as follows:
1 week use update.
1 month use update.
3 month use update.
That way you can follow my progress and decide if such product is for you or not!

Have you tried the Soniclease or anything similar?

  1. I look forward to seeing your progress with this! I've seen this around and a £50 Clarisonic equivalent (which vibrates-other similar ones usually spin) but haven't seen any reviews! Been reluctant to get it since not sure if I should spend £120 and just get the Clarisonic, since I could spend £50 and end up hating the cheaper one and need to buy the more expensive one anyway! Xx

  4. I hope this turns out to be good, i really want a clarisonic but i don't have bad enough skin to justify £100+ on one! £50 sound so reasonable i want to buy one already!

  5. I use the Nutrasonic - It is only £79.95 and is very similar to the Clarisonic.

  8. Ooh I will definitely be keeping an eye out for your posts on this; really interested! I currently have the Sigma Cleanse and Polish which is great, but it's not water proof and I'm worried I'll kill it in the shower!

  9. I was just eyeing this up a couple of days ago but couldn't find any reviews on it so I wasn't sure because as you said its not something you buy on a whim. I'm so happy that you will be doing regular updates on your experience with it - will really help me to decide if this is right for me. Thank you!! :) x

    1. What ever one you go for make sure you pick a water proof edition as the sigma one isn't eep!
