Huge disappointment
I am a huge skin care nut and have two Clarisonics for both of my homes. I travel a lot for work and I wanted something that can fit in my overnight computer roller bag that gives some extra cleansing ability - my expectation is pretty low, just something better than manual cleansing using my hands. Even with the low expectation, this product is a huge let down - it doesn't do anything other than extreme weak microvibration, almost like a buzz but nothing more. No matter what I do, I cannot get my foaming cleanser to foam on my face. The head is made of silicone coated rubber'ish material, so they are big and not like normal brush bristles. There is simply not enough of them to create foam when you massage this on my skin in circular motions. You will have to use your hand directly if you want your cleanser to foam. Needless to say, my skin didn't look clean after a minute (as recommended) nor did it feel clean. After looking at the unit with disappointment, I suddenly realize that I've seen this poor design before - Oral-B Hummingbird Floss. Yup, P&G, which owns the Oral-B brand, decided to recoup its investment on that failure by coming up with a new attachment for face cleansing under the Olay brand. A bad idea and bad design, no matter how you package it and spin it, is still a failure. This is totally a needless waste of money for something that doesn't work - it's no more than an effort from P&G to reuse another bad idea and an attempt to sell more batteries for its Duracell division. You can buy a $2 facial cleansing brush and it will be far more effective than this thing! UPDATE 2-11-2103: I was notified on Olay Comm Mgr's comment on my review, so I called P&G using the number listed. As expected, it's a general support number for Olay and the agent on the phone doesn't know what to do with my call. It was totally a needless phone call, and this got me even more irritated. I wanted to see if the "400% better clean" than "basic cleansing" claim is as bad as I believe it is, so I did another experiment. I smeared some kitchen grease on the back of my left hand and attempted to use this brush to clean my hand and it did not remove the smear but made my hand really red. I then reapply some more grease and use my right hand fingers to massage the same liquid cleanser and the grease smear was gone in 2-3 seconds. Therefore, I standby my feedback that this power cleaning system is completely useless, period.
