A licensed dermatologist recommend the vibrating silicone cleansing brush over the sonic bristle brush for gentle exfoliation, so I bought this as a replacement of a sonic bristle brush that I had years. This facial cleansing brush is covered with soft silicone, and it is more gentle for cleansing and exfoliating. My skin felt soft and clean after using without any irritation. It has several vibrating speeds, and I can get the right amount of exfoliation by raising or lowering the level of speed. It is also very easy to clean, I just rinse it after using and pat dry with a towel. This tool is small and is perfect for traveling too. It is an affordable beauty tool that truly works. I highly recommend it.
