Hygienic, easy-clean silicon
An Allure Best of Beauty winner for 2019, this rechargeable face-cleaner is hard to compare to the usual face brushes because it features some revolutionary technology. Acne sufferers, in particular, appreciate the easy-to-clean silicone bristles that are more gentle on the skin and are far less likely to hold on to bacteria between uses. The app gets mixed reviews, but the brush itself is widely praised for being ergonomic, waterproof, and incredibly effective.

Pointed design more effective for scrubbing around the nose

Follow up with a blackhead removing mask to take full advantage of this mini-massage for your face.

Target every skincare concern with this 4-in-1 cleansing brush. Long-lasting wired charging means you’ll never have to deal with dead batteries mid-cleanse again, and the non-slip grips keep you from breaking a high-quality investment piece against hard bathroom floor tiles. You can buff away dry, scaly skin on problem areas like feet, knees, and elbows and still get gentle cleansing on your face. You can also increase circulation and gently massage your skin, so targeted treatments like serums and moisturizers penetrate deeper below the surface.
Review Highlights
“I have normal skin but very oily in my nose and forehead. After using this brush 1 time my skin felt so squeaky clean and my complexion looks so fresh. Now after a few weeks my oil seems to be less now. I LOVE this brush!”

Perfect for gym bags or travel
Environmentally conscious consumers know that the makeup and skincare world has a long way to go, and choosing renewable, sustainable materials whenever possible is an easy way to signal that we’re willing to pay more for ethically made goods; but when there’s an option that’s both high-quality and guilt-free, and less than 10$, who could possibly pass it by? This brush may lack nose-angled corners or antibacterial silicon. Still, if you’re willing to deal with small issues, you’ve got a long-lasting tool that’s incredibly effective, especially given the price point.
Review Highlights
“I bought this to try out using a brush on my face. I actually love it. I use with my favorite facial cleanser. It is soft enough that it doesn’t scratch your skin but durable enough, you can scrub all over and remove makeup with ease. Rinses out nicely too.”
