To clean the brush use a bit of anti-bacterial cleanser and lay it flat to dry.

I use antibacterial handsoap and let it air dry.

Just apply hand or body soap to it after use, rub with your hand, and rinse in the sink. Let air dry.

I clean it with soap and water and once a week I boil a little water, pour it into a bowl and then dip the head in for a few seconds at a time, just to kill germs.

If you are using this brush with a cleanser, then there is probably no need to wash it. Otherwise, I would just use some antibacterial soap, probably the stuff by your sink.

I just rinse it thoroughly with water after I use it and rest it on the lid that came with it so it will air dry.

I haven't tried cleaning it since I just got it. Maybe the dishwasher? I just didn't want to handle to melt. Maybe just running it under some hot water with some soap or a gentle shampoo.

Just use warm water and soap. Any kind of soap will do, but if you have sensitive skin you can clean the brush with the same cleaner you use on your face. Otherwise, warm water will get most of the dirt, though none of the bacteria, out.

I don't think you can clean this. Mine discolored almost immediately, and I rinsed it thoroughly after each use. After less than 10 uses, mine completely fell apart. Trying to clean it might make it fall apart faster. Recycle it, and buy another kind.

I just clean mine with a mild soap and water

I would just use simple soap and water, and rub with my fingers to get rid of any particles that might get stuck within the bristles. Then use bleach or vinegar (but NOT both!) to sanitize it. I prefer vinegar, because it is safer for your skin and eco-friendly.

After using it run it in hot water and let air dry.

It depends on the amount of exfoliation your skin needs. You can use it everyday or every other day.

I have extremely sensitive skin, too. I just use a light amount of pressure with a light, circular motion. The bristles are very soft, so it's honestly soothing. The brush allows your face wash to really get into your skin...deeply cleansing. As long as you control the pressure and how much scrubbing you choose to do, your skin will be fine. However, I do not use the brush if my skin is particularly dry or sensitive. Allow your skin to return to "normal" before you use the brush again.

I use my brush twice a day! It has changed my life - I swear! It basically takes all your skincare up another level. I love this brush - and for only $5, I swear, this is the simplest thing you can do to improve your skincare routine!

I use this in the morning for my facial cleanser, and I also use an exfoliator (a gentle one for daily use). I use this for both of those applications. At night I use this with just my cleanser.

I use mine every day especially at night when my makeup has been on all day, and my face is sensitive too.

I use this once a day, at the end of the day when I'm removing my makeup. There isn't much need to use this twice a day - too much exfoliation can irritate your skin. End of the day is best, because thats when makeup has settled into your pores and you really need a deeper cleaning.

I use this 2-3 times per week, just to keep my facial skin exfoliated, that seems just right to keep my skin fresh and complexion clear :) Give it a try!

I use mine every time I wash my face (at least twice a day), and I have sensitive skin, too. I have not experiences any irritation, and it has done a nice enough job exfoliating my skin without tugging on it (like a washcloth might). I usually have a difficult time exfoliating my skin well enough, and this has helped without being too harsh since the bristles are soft.

it's really meant for daily use,but let your skin be the judge. if it's too much for every morning and every night,adjust the times that you use it vs your hands. if your not suffering any irritation or discomfort,then anytime you cleanse,whip that bad boy out! hope this helps,xoxo.

I have sensitive skin also and I use my brush twice a day. I never seem to have a problem with it.

I use mine 2-3 times/week. The bristles are very soft and I haven't experienced any dryness after use.

I use mine daily along with my Philosophy Purity Made Simple cleanser

It depends on the amount of usage. I think it lasts about 1-3 months. You will know when it is time to change it when the bristles are not as stiff.

You can change these once every 2-3 months I think as long as you wash the product after every use and let it air dry.

I have used my brush for months. The only reason I had to replace my first one was because I dropped it and it split in half.

I've been using this brush for over 3 months. I clean it with the brush cleaning sprays. So far it shows no signs of not working. Plus as long as you don't drop it on a hard floor it will last over a year or two.

Keep the one you have. This one is very messy, it splashes everywhere because of the bristles. If you have one that works for you, keep it, or search for a different one besides this one.

I plan to replace my brush every 3 months. So far, it's held up really well. I use it 3 times a day.

Twice in the morning (once with my cleanser, once with a daily exfoliator) and Once a night (with my cleanser).

Plus, I use this once a week on my husband when we have "spa days".

In total I use this 22 times a week, and I've had this for about a month and a half and it's going strong!

So far I've had it for a month and it still looks and feels good. And if it does wear down I'll buy a new one because it was very inexpensive.

Honestly, they both look the same to me. Don't brush too hard - just swirl in circular motion around face, concentrating on chin and forehead if you tend to break out. Keeping ultra clean and storage is ultra important! Think about how gross it can get if you don't stand it upright to drain and dry.. yuk

Ive been using mine a couple of months now and it still looks like new. I also use the brush cleaner.

definitely meant to be long lasting, it's well made. Give it a try!

I've had mine for about a month now and at first i used it a week straight (once a day) and now use it a couple times a week. After the first use the bristles got the tiniest but messed up (to be expected) but haven't gotten any worse since.

It is not battery operated. Apply it to the skin using circular motions with your cleanser.

Nope, you just massage the brush in circles, by hand.

No. It is just a plain, plastic brush which makes it so surprising that it falls apart so quickly.

No, it's just a brush for your face like a regular plastic comb would be for hair.

No electricity, no batteries, just your hands.

It is not battery operated

No its not battery operated

Nope. Manual, as in good ol' elbow grease. If you want a stellar battery operated one you're looking for the Clarisonic. It is the best thing your skin will ever know hands down.

No. It's a hand held brush, like a toothbrush.

Nope! It's just a simple small brush, operated by your hands.

No...there are no batteries, but if you use brisk, circular motions on your face, you honestly get just as good results as the expensive battery operated facial brushes out there!

No--not battery operated.... Although that would be a nice option!

They are made from synthetic fibers.

They are synthetic, clear plastic is the best description. Very soft yet much more sturdy than I thought they would be when in use.

probably nylon. very soft, very effective.

I think they are nylon

some sort of fine plastic i believe

I believe the bristles are made from nylon, making them nylon bristles :)

It's a soft, very bendable, synthetic fiber. It reminds me of Barbie brushes or accessories. The tips of the fiber can be a little rough if you press against your face too hard.

while i'm not sure what the fiber's are made of, they feel like one of those brushes used on a newborn's head. so very very soft!

I have no idea what Sephora fibers are made of. The brush was soft, however the bristles fell out in one day so it didn't matter. Dermalogica has a brush for $14 that lasts for years.

I am guessing that the bristles are nylon.

Definitely synthetic, kind of a plasticy nylon, but soft enough.

no way in the dishwasher for me...eeew. dish washing detergent is made with lye. i would not want lye residue on my skin. i rinse my brush under the sink in hot water, and then hang it in the shower to dry. i used and old hair elastic to loop it in the shower.

Make sure to rinse the brush thoroughly after each use, and hang it upside-down to dry. I leave mine hanging in the shower, and have never had a problem with bacteria. The hanging allows the excess water to drip off without pooling anywhere, and doesn't compromise the bristles.

I wash mine with soap and water after using it periodically and then spritz some isopropyl alcohol (or you can use Purelle too) on it as well to help break up any oily make-up residue. This has kept mine clean and free of build-up. Soaking it in soap and water may help too if you have stubborn residue.

I use soap and water (like you use to hand wash dishes), shake dry-ish, then a quick swipe with either rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. I rinse it before use the next time.

I rinse it out really well after each use and I allow it to dry, bristle side down (in it's cap that it came with). Once a week I clean it with soap or my facial cleanser. My brush stays clean!

I use this in the shower and just rinse it out with remaining face wash or a little body wash when I'm done. Make sure to gently spread the bristles apart with your fingertips or the palm of your hand to wash the bristles all the way to the bottom. For disinfecting, you could rinse it in a solution of water and rubbing alcohol, but I would be sure to really give it a good rinse with pure water afterward lest you ruin the brush.

Sephora sells a brush cleaner that works really well, but like a toothbrush, you will have to replace this once the brisles start to wear. I've been using mine for a couple of months now and it still looks like new!

I just put some face wash or baby shampoo in the palm of my hand and work the brush in circles until it lathers a bit - then rinse it and its as clean as new. I do this after each use.

I use this with cleanser in my shower. Easily washes clean :)

I simply rinse it thoroughly in warm water to ensure all of the soap has washed away. I've had mine for a month and it still looks like new.

It is quite small. Think the size of the hole when you join your thumb and forefinger.

You 'could' use it for your body but really I would buy a larger brush for that.

This is small, and only for your face.

This brush is not designed for the body. Although you could technically use it on the body if you really wanted to. But the brush head is small, so it would take forever to use it all over your body.

It's only small enough for your face, a little larger than a quarter.

Generally its only big enough for your face, but I have used in on my arms. I wouldnt see using it for your whole body.

It is only about an inch wide.

No its only big enough for your face

The brush is definitely intended for the face and neck. If you used it on your body it would be like scrubbing the floor with a toothbrush. Extra work!

Hi,

It's a little small for doing your body unless you're just doing specific areas.

Hope this helps.

You can if you have hours to spend in the shower. It is waaaay too small. The head is only about the size of quarter/half dollar.

this is so completely gentle and as long as you are gentle with your skin yourself and don't rub too hard this works great. just use an upward circular motion, away from the heart.

This brush is very gentle. It might be the solution for you. I never notice any redness after using it. Also, because it's "manual" you get to dictate the pressure and speed of its use.

I bought a Clarisonic too and the sensitive brush head is too much for my skin. I buy the delicate brush heads and have had no problems since. I have only seen delicate brush heads online. For $5, the brush is a great buy, but you definitely won't get the same results as Clarisonic.

It will help to clean the pores and certainly will be much more gentle than the clairsonic. I am just not sure if it will be intense enough. I find that if I want more exfoliation I scrub for a longer period of time (about two minutes per facial area). You may be able to tailor the degree of exfoliation to your liking if you experiment a little. Find a period of time of scrubbing that meets that middle ground of effective results yet not irritating.

I also suffer from very very sensitive skin. Running it under hot water to soften the bristels helps and start with once a day and follow with a good moisturizer.

I havent had any bad reactions on my skin at all. It's very non abrasive.

I use this brush on my husband when we have "spa days" and he has very sensitive skin. I have sensitive skin too, but his gets red very easily. This brush did not irritate his skin at all. In fact, he really loves it!

I too don't get any redness from using this brush. You control how much pressure and the motions, so if you notice your face getting red you can go a little softer.

For $5 you really can't beat this! I want the Clarisonic, but honestly after using this super inexpensive brush I don't see a reason to spend so much money when this product is doing an excellent job!

My skin has never felt better, and my products seem to work better because ever since using this brush my face has finally started to clear up. And my skin is so much softer, so my makeup goes on better too.

I was tempted to purchase a Clarsonic too but tried this instead and I was really pleased. I too have Roseaca and sensitive skin and it didn't make my face red at all because you control the motions. Also since Roseaca is caused from bacteria I would change brushes often.

Definitely I use it because I have really sensitive skin. My face still gets a little red but to reduce the redness just gently make small circles around your face so that you still get that refreshed feel and your is clean so it doesn't suffer that awful redness and sensitivity.

I havent found this to aggravate my somewhat sensitive skin...give it a try, I think you'll like it!

Hi,

I rarely use my Clarisonic. This works well as does the Shiseido version which is slightly different and softer.

You might want to check those these brushes out.

Hope this helps.

It comes with a protective cap

Yes, it comes with a cap. But if you don't use the cap, just rinse the brush before you use it, or store it (upside down) in a decorative cup/canister to match your bathroom decore.

Yes it comes with a plastic cap. The bristles are very easy to clean though and being as they are clear, it is easy to tell if they are dirty. I always give it a quick rinse before using regardless.

It does, but it doesn't stay on too well.

The product comes with a protective cap to help protect the bristles from any outside exposure.

Yep, it's got a cap that comes with it, but it's kind of a cheep-y plastic (so who knows how long it'll last). The brush and cap are totally "Made In China." No offense to China, I'm part Chinese myself.

Yes it does, but I like to make sure it air dries completely before putting it on.

It does come with a protective cap but it's taped on when you buy it, and I've found that it doesn't stay on willingly.

So I keep mine out to air dry and then put it in the cabinet, or Leave it to just air dry from my shower organizer. Since I use it generally twice a day, every day It doesn't really have time to accumulate dust.

It comes with a protective cap, but it doesn't stay on very well. In your make-up bag or in luggage, the cap would definitely come off.
Wish they would add a cap with more snap!

yes, it comes with a clear plastic cap

Very well. It will take off the flakes because of the soft bristles. If you go in a circular motion over your entire face and rinse completely, and pat your face dry, you're skin will be smooth, rejuvinated, and fresh.

As I have gotten older, my normally oily skin has started to show signs of drying. Particularly on my forehead. I have had no problems with the soft bristles flaking any skin severely. But then as soon as I finish cleaning my face, I put lotion on that particular area.
Good luck!

It will exfoliate well, but it dries out my skin if i use it too much (2x per day)

dry skin is my main problem and this brush really takes care of that. since i also have sensitive skin i cannot use abrassive cleansers so combining my moisturizing cleanser with this brush helpes me get rid of any flaky skin while still removing any left over makeup

Well, I'll tell ya this. If you have skin like a baby them YES it will work. But if you have adult skin it might take a while to acheive the results you want.

if your have dry skin i beleive it would exfoliate your skin and take the layer off that was dry or flakey so i think this product would be benifitial to you. It leaves your skin feelings really tight and clean and then you could put on a moisterizer to put the moisture back into your skin.

I have combination skin and i usually start drying out around my cheeks and this product is a GREAT exfoliater..it deep cleans and it is great for sloghing off any dead skin cells.

i would say put on a thick creamy kind of moisturizer and let is soak in for a few minutes and then use the brush to scrub the flaky skin away. Wash your face with a cream cleanser and them put a nice moisturizer on after that. I think that would really make your skin nice and help with the flakiness and dryness.

It works great on dry skin, but you might want to change your cleanser and/or moisturizer too!

it should be fine....just use gentle circular motions.
