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!
Rio Soniclease £49.99 (S) - link
Have you tried the Soniclease or anything similar?
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
ReplyDeleteThank you :) yeah at least the way you can see how I get on before splashing the cash :) initially I do enjoy it but it is too early to tell so soon on but I will keep you updated :) x
DeleteI have been after the clarasonic mia for a while but its so much money and at the moment I dont have any lol, £50 for this sounds much better value x
ReplyDeletewww.misslv.com
I agree £100 or more on one product just seems sooo expensive doesn't it! Haha me either I hate the winter haha!
DeleteI'm liking the price point for this lol I'll look into it as I really wanted the mia so this might be a great alternative!
ReplyDeletehaha the price is most agreeable isn't it haha!
DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeletexx
Ah I shall keep you updated :)
DeleteI use the Nutrasonic - It is only £79.95 and is very similar to the Clarisonic.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my review here: http://allthingsbeautymake-upandshopping.blogspot.com/2012/01/nutra-sonic-review-clarisonic.html
cool :) I think i'll stick to this just now :)
DeleteI wish I'd found this before investing in my clarisonic x it's seems alot more affordable x that said I do enjoy using my clarisonic, its made a huge difference to my skin x great review will be keen to see your progress xx
ReplyDeleteisn't that always the case haha :) if it has made a good difference to your skin i'd say it was money well spent :)
DeleteI really want a clarisonic but can't decide if its worth the money, so I can't wait to see your updates! xx
ReplyDeleteThat seems to be most peoples opinion too :) I will keep updates so you can all make up your own minds :)
DeleteOoh 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!
ReplyDeleteOh lord or electrocute yourself haha!
DeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteah great timing then :) glad to be of help :)
DeleteThis looks interesting, and I look forward to future updates, but eeewww the 'dreaded purge' doesn't sound too pleasant!
ReplyDeleteBug @ Bugwear
I know i'm really hoping my skin magically skips that stage haha!
DeleteI'm glad there are so many cheaper priced alternatives to that shall-remain-nameless $200USD option. I am having a hard time choosing which one i want!
ReplyDeleteWhat ever one you go for make sure you pick a water proof edition as the sigma one isn't eep!
DeleteIs this like the Clarasonic? Is that how you spell it!? If so it's alot cheaper! xx
ReplyDeleteYes pretty much :)
DeleteCan't wait for the updates! :) I've always wanted a facial brush type thing.
ReplyDeleteahh i wish i'd seen this before I bought my clarisonic mia! I could have saved a couple of $. Great review!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to check out future updates. At this price I really want to buy one!
