Everyone wishes for clear, smooth, and radiant skin. Especially here in San Diego where a California sun kissed look is always in style, many women and men alike go through costly and painful procedures to achieve a youthful look that seems to glow from within. Fortunately, there are many exfoliating brushes on the market right now that work just as well for a fraction of the cost to a trip to consult and treat with a plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
In the skincare world where cleansing systems are competing with chemical peels, facials, and other costly procedures, the Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System is in a league all on its own. While other cleansing systems can cost anywhere from $225 for the Clarisonic PLUS, $195 for the Clarisonic Classic to $119 for the Clarisonic Mia (a smaller version of the Classic), the Olay Cleansing System is under $30.
Included in this system is:
A 2-speed facial brush
Exfoliating renewal cleanser
2-AA batteries
*Information on getting replacement brushes can be found here.
The Olay Cleansing System is a 2-speed rotating brush system that gets deep into your pores and fine lines, cleanses and exfoliates…and all without irritating your skin. As someone who suffers from the occasional breakout, finding an exfoliating brush that doesn’t irritate my skin and cause more breakouts is a priority. Unfortunately, the exfoliating renewal cleanser was not exactly to my liking. Massaging it into my skin with only my fingers felt like rubbing sand paper on my face, so I refrained from massaging it in with the facial brush. However, this cleanser is optional and you can always swap it out for a more gentle facial cleanser. One of my favorites is Cetaphil.
This system is so effective that just using it for 1 minute everyday will garner positive results. I have been using this system for over 2 months now (prior to bedtime), and can honestly say that I have never seen my skin look this polished, glow this much, or feel this soft. It is gentle enough for everyday use, but still gets deep down into your pores to get a face full of makeup off (or just dirt and oil from a long day). Another great thing about this system is that it is entirely water resistant so you can even use it in the shower. This is great for someone that is on the go and can’t spend a ton of time on their sometimes time consuming (but necessary) beauty routine.

Michelle, thank you for your wonderful blog about the Olay cleansing system! I just bought it online last night and I've been reading reviews but I've been specifically looking for any comments about using the device with another cleanser (even more specifically Cetaphil, which is the cleanser I use and love and don't want to stray from). I am happy with my cleansing product and don't want to try a new one (like the one that comes with the cleansing system) for fear of breaking out again. But I am looking for that little extra umph to my routine and while I didn't want to use an exfoliation product (I've tried many that make my sensitve skin break out), I know exfoliating is essential so I am hoping this device, along with my favorite cleaser, will be just what I'm looking for. Your comments are exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAshley, I am so glad I could be of help. I am excited for you to try it out! I would love to hear how you like it once you receive it in the mail.
