I decided to try this out as it was on special offer in Boots, and was £4.49 instead of the usual £7.49. I was quite intrigued to try this peculiar looking tool to see if its just a gimmick, or whether it is able to clean deeper into pores than normal washes and exfoliators.
The lid to the face wash resembles a small brush with soft, thin rubber bristles. To use, you wet the brush, squeeze a bit of the wash out and then apply the brush to your face in small circular motions.
After using the Exfo-Brusher Wash my skin felt thoroughly clean, but it wasn’t glowing and it wasn’t super soft like I’ve just used a proper exfoliator. My skin felt a little tight so I need to apply a small amount of moisturiser to my checks and eye-area – I just used a tiny bit of light moisturiser (Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturiser) as the whole point of the Exfo-Brusher is to reduce shine and surface sebum levels.
Personally, I’d prefer to use a proper exfoliator or an exfoliator wash (such as Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Scrub) as these leave my skin looking and feeling cleaner and fresher than the Exfo-Brusher. However, as too frequent exfoliaton leaves my skin quite dry, the Exfo-Brusher might be a good ‘milder’ alternative that I can use more frequently.
The pores on my nose tend to get blocked quite easily, so I was hoping the Exfo-Brusher’s claim of ‘reducing surface sebum levels’ might help to minimise blocking. I’m not sure whether this is the case yet, but my face still feels completely grease and shine-free, despite the hot weather!
Overall, this is an OK product but it’s certainly not my favourite exfoliating/deep clean wash, so I doubt I would buy it again.
