New Olay Pro X Advanced Cleaning System

[Beenie]

Just saw this at CVS this morning and was wondering if anyone has tried it yet? I got a Clarisonic Mia for Christmas but just asked my mom for the receipt so I could buy the full size but for $30 I would much rather have this if it is comparable.

I would like to know too!

Me three!

Have either of you seen it at the store yet? I may buy it from Walgreens or CVS over Walmart or Target, even if it is a little more pricey simply because they have a very nice return policy. Plus, my BFF is a tech at Walgreens and gets a lil discount .

I'm curious as well. I know our local Walgreens carries it so you should be able to find it there.

Oh, and just an FYI for anyone interested, this runs on 2 AA batteries.

 

[Tracy]

Thanks for the info CB!

No, Beenie, I haven't seen it yet. I assume it has replacement brush heads you can buy?

 

[Code Blue]

^Yup, it does. I think they're like $11 for 2 replacement heads.

I have been wondering about this too. It looks so similar to the clarisonic.

I juuuust came on here hoping to find some info as i saw the ad for it at cvs today so im definitely interested in info!

 

[littles717]

I think im going to just buy one tomorrow if they have it because im really intrigued!

I bought it yesterday and used it last night, so far so good! My skin felt really soft and smooth after. I used it with Cetaphil cleanser and removed my makeup with a makeup remover wipe first.

Battery operated facial cleansing brushes have been around for years - I used to have a Conair one, but the difference in the Clarisonic is the way the brush rotates - the speed & rotation. Clarisonic uses a sonic oscillation system. From what I could tell, the Olay brush just rotates at 2 different speeds (much like my old $14 Conair brush did). Also I don't think the Olay is waterproof... which is what killed my Conair.

 

[Tracy]

True, but good enough for a cheaper alternative.

i really want to try this too! i know that in walgreens, they offer a free olay cleanser when you purchase the unit, but its not in any of the stores close to my home...

I just wonder if the sonic power makes THAT much of a difference to justify the cost. If the Olay brush works, then it works, meaning it is effective in exfoliating and smoothing the skin and allowing for better product penetration. If the other one has only a minor difference, then that's not really enough to justify the cost unless it has other features that make it worth that much.


BTW, on the website, it says it water resistant and can be used in the shower (altough maybe not as much as Clarisonic?) It also claims to be as effective as the other brush that is $200 (likely Clarisonic). Anyway, it may not be as powerful, but it sounds good to me!
