At upwards of £120 for the device and £25 for the cleanser it is by no stretch of the imagination on the cheap side, but given the results I had achieved with the mini, and the childish giggles that come when using it, I couldn't resist giving it a try. I've been using this for over two months now, and as a cleansing and pre-shaving device it is exceptional, and it isn't just a one trick pony.
This is what they say about the device over at Foreo here:
'THE ULTIMATE PRE-SHAVING DEVICE & FACIAL CLEANSING BRUSH FOR MEN The LUNA™ for MEN's brush surface has been specifically engineered to refresh and cleanse men’s thicker and oilier skin by being composed of broader touch-points that channel T-Sonic™ pulsations more directly for a skincare solution custom-made for men.
The LUNA™ for MEN’s cutting-edge T-Sonic™ pulsations deliver deep facial cleansing that ensures a closer, smoother shave after just 1 minute’s use.'
Personally I use this twice a day and have combined it with the Foreo Revitalising Face Cleanser. Even a little applied to the face of the device lathers up brilliantly and with a slight stubble you can feel the pulsing of the brushes massaging and opening up the pores in your face.
After a minute of using this and rinsing off my face, even after regular use removes all sorts of dirt and pollution. It really does work as a deep clean for your skin, and with it's gentle exfoliation it makes it great just before shaving.
After running it over my beard for around ninety seconds the bristles feel a bit softer and don't get stuck in my safety razor as much, and there is a lot less irritation or razor bumps once dried off. The cleanser doesn't dry out my skin, and it feels hydrated, soft and smooth, and for that I am truly thankful.
For the first four weeks of using this I didn't even need to moisturise after shaving - a quick touch of aftershave balm and boom, I was ready to rock and roll. As the temperature has dropped slightly over the last few weeks I have needed to apply a little but I have to give credit to Foreo, it does exactly what it says it will and the pulsating face of the brush always makes me laugh.
Charged using a USB I haven't yet needed to recharge it, in fact, it works now with as much power as it did the first time I used it. Brilliant.
If you are serious about skincare and are looking for something to keep your face looking good then seriously, check this out. It's great for those who suffer when they shave and it removes the gunk and funk of daily life with little effort.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I am always impressed when brands put as much thought into products for male skin, as Foreo have done with this x
ReplyDeleteMy OH gets terrible shaving rash (wish he'd kept his beard!) so I'll mention this to him, it sounds really interesting and he's a sucker for a gadget!
ReplyDeleteThey have a male version of this too now! I may have to get this for my OH. He's forever pinching my little gadgets for the face, pah!

Ooh fab now I know what to get hubby for his birthday!!
ReplyDeleteI love the design of the Luna, would look very cool (and slightly intriguing) in a bathroom.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, another product I've not come across. My eldest would love this
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great. My hubby is always complaining about shaving so this may be a good idea for him. Plus he loves gadgets. He's a total tech head.
ReplyDeleteLooking at this product and packaging at first I was a bit worried you had diversified into reviewing gadgets for the adult relaxation market. But either way it certainly sounds like it does the trick...
ReplyDeleteIt was good to read this review because as you say it's not a cheap item. My husband's beard grows very quickly and by the end of the day he has stubble so this might help to make it looks less noticeable if it allows a closer shave.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a great design and I love that it actually does make you feel like you've had that deep cleanse x
ReplyDeleteI really want to try a Foreo Luna, they definitely look like the best option of all the cleansing tools out there! It's great that there's an option for men, too :)

It's a great design and I think it would look good in the bathroom, but from what you say it does a good job too.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you could even buy things like this - glad to hear it does a good job x
ReplyDeleteI have only just got hubby to use an after shave balm - i think this would be a little too much for him. I think my eldest teen would give it a go though
ReplyDeleteSounds like it does a good job! :)
ReplyDeleteForeo really do make fantastic products, definitely worth the money I think! xx
ReplyDeleteI've just got something similar to try, this sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful and also would make a great gift. I have wedding anniversary coming up :)
