Olay Facial Cleansing Brush Regenerist, Face Exfoliator with 2 Brush Heads

Move over, Beethoven—there’s a new symphony in town, and it’s the Olay Regenerist Brush! I bought the Olay Regenerist Brush, ready for an experience akin to sandblasting my face. Its a face exfoliator so naturally, I expected a machine that could double as sandpaper. But when I turned it on, I was greeted by a gentle, barely audible buzz. Quiet? I’ve heard pin-drop contests noisier than this thing I put it to my face, expecting my skin to scream in agony, but it was like getting a facial massage at the Ritz spa, except by considerate elves. My face felt so relaxed, I almost offered the brush a job as my personal therapist. And when I rinsed the brush, the amount of dirt that came off made me wonder if I'd been living in a coal mine. (This brush must have a PhD in dirt extraction. Sherlock Holmes couldn’t have done a better job of sleuthing out grime.) My skin was so smooth afterward, I wanted to keep using it all night – but I didn’t want to explain to my boss how I was late to work because I was having a midnight romance with a face brush. Talk about effectiveness you say? This thing is a miracle worker. My sensitive skin, which usually reacts to new products like it’s auditioning for a horror movie (ingrown hairs, nodular cystic acne, blackheads and white heads), was suddenly clear and smooth. No pimples, no breakouts – just pure, unadulterated joy. The bristles were a perfect balance: firm enough to do the job but soft enough not to turn my face into a battlefield. Some folks want firmer bristles, but who wants their face assaulted by a porcupine? Exfoliating with this brush is a delicate dance, not a mosh pit. If you want something more bristle, use a steel-wool to exfoliate. (Don't actually do this LOL) Now, let’s talk cleaning. If you're using this to remove a full face of makeup without wiping it off first, congratulations, you’ve just discovered how to turn your face into a modern art masterpiece. To those who think this brush should remove a full face of makeup, do you also expect your fork to make your dinner? Use makeup remover first, folks! I clean the brush head with soap after each use, making sure it's spotless. Because who wants to clean their face with something that looks like it’s been dragged through a mud puddle? As for the rotation, it doesn’t spin like a Ferris wheel on steroids, but it’s got torque! Push it against your face, and it keeps going, unlike me when I hit the snooze button. And trust me, you don’t want it to spin faster unless you enjoy soap flinging contests. There's a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you'll feel like an exfoliating ninja. Battery life? I haven’t had it long enough to comment, but I handle it like it’s a gremlin: no water and definitely no midnight snacks. It’s supposedly water-resistant, but I’m not testing that theory unless I want an expensive paperweight. Overall, this brush is a game changer. Sure, it could have more upgrades, but at $25, it’s a steal. My only regret is not buying it sooner. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a standing ovation for the best exfoliating brush I've ever bought. Bravo! P.S. If you think it’s not working, maybe check your cleanser. If it's too thick, it might as well be lube. I've been using it with CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser, and it's been a dream team for my face.

I bought this Olay Facial Cleansing Brush Regenerist because the Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System's replacement puffs were discontinued. A little skeptical at the begininning. However, after seeing 4.4 overall rating on Amazon with over 20k reviews, I was more convinced. I use it with Olay's Collagen Peptide 24 Cream Cleaner, it works very well on my face, having similar effect as Neutrogena Microdermabrasion System, but more sustainable and with lower cost. Because the brush head is still available from Amazon and it can last about 3 months. $5/90 days = approximately 5 cents a day, plus a drop of cleanser, as compared to the puff which cost 50 cents per use even before they were discontinued. Also the batteries last very long. I have been using it for over a month, 2-3 times a day, 3-5 minutes every time, still have the original batteries. After about one month, I can feel the spin rate slows down, so that the batteries will need to be replaced in about a month under heavy use (2-3 times a day). If you only use it once a day, the batteries should last about 2-3 months or longer. Some trick using it: you may find the head stop spinning when pressing hard against face, the trick is splashing some water onto your face. Overall, to people who knows how to utilize this device, it may worth hundred dollars. I recommend this item to everyone who wants to keep young looking.

This works great and will last if you know how to take care of it and have managed expectations. Here are my thoughts as a first time user... Effectiveness - I have very sensitive skin with congested pores that's prone to nodular cystic acne, blackheads and white heads. So far, this has reduced potential breakouts and evened out the texture of my skin! After one use I noticed smoother skin and nearly zero blackheads! Some reviews say they didn't notice a difference and I think that depends on thick your cleanser is, which can act like a lubricant that keeps the bristles from making full contact with your skin? I've used it with and without soap - it's definitely better WITHOUT soap if you want a deep exfoliation and glow!! Bristles - they're rigid enough to feel like they're doing something yet soft enough for sensitive skin. Some wished the bristles were firmer, but I think it would be too aggressive for everyday use and could cause more damage than good. I've been to several dermatologists and many cautioned me about over exfoliating manually (brushes, facecloth), saying it can cause micro tears in your skin for bacteria to go into or strip the skin of natural oils. Both of which cause more breakouts. I found the bristles to work well slightly damp, without soap, at buffing off dead skin gently and removing blackheads from my jawline and nose. Cleaning - reviewers that are disappointed that it doesn't remove a full face of makeup don't realize they have to take their makeup off FIRST with wipes or makeup remover. If you don't then you'll just be smearing makeup all over your face no matter how much soap you use. It did a good job getting the last trace of stubborn foundation off for me. I pulled off the brush head and cleaned it with soap after every use to make sure no makeup or skin was left behind and air dried thoroughly to keep it from getting mildew. I mean, what's the point in cleaning your face with dirty tools? Rotation - No, it doesn't spin fast but it does have TORQUE, meaning it doesn't come to a full stop when brush is pushed against the face. If it spun faster then it would skip off your face or fling soap everywhere! I soaped up my face first before using the brush to get even coverage versus putting soap on the brush. There's a learning curve to the movement pattern you use to get the best results. Sometimes moving it slowly side to side feels like it's working deeper. Battery/Defective device - I've only had my device for a week so I can't speak to its longevity but I make sure it NEVER TOUCHES WATER! The battery housing doesn't seem secure enough to seal out moisture? It says it's water resistant but I wouldn't use this in the shower. It comes with generic brand batteries but I used Energizer or Duracell Max to ensure power and life. At $19 for what I paid, it is pricey if it only lasts a few months but I'm hoping to get at least a year of daily use out of it if I keep it dry and don't drop it! Overall - it's definitely a game changer for me and I wished I had gotten this sooner! Sure, it could be more powerful, have more attachment options and be waterproof but at this price, it is what it is and gets the job done without using acid peels!

I had an earlier version of this brush decades ago and when it finally died, I just forgot about it, I guess. I don't know what took me so long to replace it, but when I recently ran across it online it was ADD TO CART immediately. How did I go so long w/o it? I use it about 3 times a week, keep it in the shower, and do a double-cleanse with my regular face wash. It lathers up well with my foaming cleanser and is easy to clean afterward - simply pop off the brush head and rinse well, then reattach. It comes with an extra brush head, but it takes a really long time to wear one out. I can feel how "extra" clean my skin is after using this, more so than when I just do a regular face wash. I've had no issues with it at all - runs well, just pop in the batteries and you're good to go. Great product for a reasonable price. Olay is a great company and I enjoy using many of their cleansers/creams.

I've had one of these since they came out way back in the early 2000s. That one actually still works but to buy replacement brushes cost more than just getting a new one, so here we are. The construction is almost exactly the same as my old one, just a hair thinner, which is fine.. Yes the battery compartment is a booger to open, but if you're patient & just wiggle it off bit by bit, you will be grateful that the batteries are packed so water-tight when you're slinging this around in the shower, etc. It has 2 speeds, high & low, & comes w 2 brushes that are the exact same. I like the consistency & firmness/softness of the brush, I find it is just the right level. That said, I do notice my skin does have a lumpy/reddish reaction to these brushes as opposed to how the old brush from my early 2000s unit simply made my face smooth & radiant. So I'm guessing the composite of the bristles themselves has changed, or perhaps the cut on the ends of them isn't even, etc. I use this little machine as a boost for the weeks I notice I'm looking a little saggier or tired, I will use a max of 3x a week during those weeks. In general though, i use this 1x a week as directed by a dermatologist a long time ago. I use Olay Daily Facials every day for routine face cleansing & I love them. Overall it's probably the best tool of it's kind on the market at this price point. Happy scrubbing! 🤗

Wife liked this a lot. It's been durable, quality seems good, cleaned well, and her skin felt good. However, I can't find anymore brush heads and limited stock and not cost effective to buy whole new unit to get 2 brushes. Disappointing to have a one time purchase.

This brush is a complete game changer! As I’ve gotten older my skin has lacked that glow within and I’ve noticed the bags under my eyes are getting darker. I’ve tried face cleansers, expensive eye serums, eye masks, moisturizers, etc. While some products showed some signs of improvement, there was never that wow factor. I was skeptical about adding this brush into my routine as areas of my face are more sensitive than others, but I am beyond ecstatic I bought it! My skin looks revived! The under eye bags have almost disappeared! There’s a natural glow and my skin is so soft! I’ve never had acne before, but black heads have been the norm in my life until now! My complexion is amazing! I’m still using the same face cleanser as before, but something about this brush just really makes every product more efficient. I do feel the brush actually dries my face out more than it did before I started using it, but since I use the Olay Regenerist face lotion I don’t feel like it’s an issue worth griping about too much. I’m still excited to use this brush everyday. I’d highly recommend buying it regardless of what skincare line you use. It’s a staple in my routine and is worth every penny!

I bought this brush because I needed a little more to my skin care. My acne was not great so I purchased this to help and it really has! I like that it is electric and the brush turns on its own. It's very easy to use. You can also use it in the shower no problem. After using this my skin felt so clean and soft. Definitely worth the purchase It only came with one set of batteries and I'm not too sure which batteries it has. It hasn't died on me yet but I am unsure of how many uses the batteries will let it have. We will see.
