While motorized at-home cleansing systems have been around for several years now, some of you may have balked at the price tags for them.
Olay Fresh Effects Va-Va-Vivid! Powered Contour Cleansing System offers a great compromise - a good cleansing system for those of you with no major skin issues - and skin on the more oily/combination side, at a very wallet friendly price.
The cleansing brush is the perfect size to hold in your hands (it's only about 5 inches long) with a very soft, gentle brush. This makes it a great option for those of you with sensitive skin as well. The brush is battery operated and the design made it very easy to get around the contours of my nose, chin and eye area.
The included cleanser, Shine, Shine Go Away! Shine Minimizing Cleanser is perfect for getting not only a great clean, but exfoliating skin as well. To use, I wet my face and the brush with water, then added the cleanser directly on to the brush. I pressed gently in circles all around my face for 1 minute and then splashed with water.
After cleansing, my skin felt very soft and smooth and the vibrating effect always was welcome first thing in the morning for a little extra pick me up. The cleanser's effects did seem to actually hold off my afternoon shine in the t-zone - which will be a big plus when warmer weather comes along too! - RLB
