New Olay Pro X Advanced Cleaning System

[Beenie]

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.

Thanks for the review!

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.

Aside from the non-waterproofness did you like the Conair one a lot? Do you have a Clarisonic to compare that one to?

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...

Keep looking because I think they are slowly getting to the stores or order it online from them. I *think* they do the same deals online.

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!

That was what I was wondering too. And I also thought about the studies done recently that all came back stating that Olay was just as good and/or better than the leading big named big priced creams, etc. I do use Olay and I like it a lot.

I did like the Conair one, but it died about a year ago. I was storing it on a rack in my shower area, and water got inside the battery compartment and killed it. I don't have a Clarisonic for comparison.

I think this would be a nice inexpensive alternative, I was just pointing out - don't expect it to produce the exact same results as a Clarisonic would.

I completely agree. I want to pick this up!

Thanks! And also, I would not expect it to be just like Clarisonic, but I thought it would be worth a try for the price.

Don't forget to keep your eyes out for coupons. CVS often has $4 off of $20. Also check the newspapers for coupons!

I bought one of these for my sister. I have a Clarisonic and the brush on the Olay is quite a bit smaller and doesn't rotate the same way as the Clarisonic. My sister has only used it for a few days, but she said that it does seem to exfoliate well and that her skin seems a tad smoother. Her skin is already pretty smooth since she uses a cleanser with glycolic acid so I don't know if she'd see dramatic results right away.

I used mine in the shower last night and it seems fine. Though I didn't hold it under the water or anything.

This sounds great. I'm going to be on the lookout for one. I live in the middle of nowhere and it usually takes a while for us to get new products.

Anyone that just purchased it have any new opinions?

I got mine about 5 days ago and ive been using it every day. I love it! I have never used a clarasonic before, but i have used about every other form of face washing and this really is great.
It was fine after use in the shower, and ive used it both with the cleanser it came with (which i may buy in the full size bottle bc i am liking it) and also my regular cleanser.
For the price, I definitely think its worth it!

I saw a commercial for this the other day, and then saw it today in my Ulta catalog. I really want to try it before I completely consider buying a Clarisonic (which I have been so wanting forever now)

I got this a week or so ago and I'm really liking it! I've been contemplating getting a clarisonic but I didn't know if I would really use it consistently so this was good for training wheels!

I am having a little breakout right now but I know it's stress and I think that this is helping clear me up!

I do really like the cleanser that came with it, too.

I bought this at Costco (came with batteries, an extra brush and a large tube of exfoliant cleanser). I really liked the way my skin felt (I have dry skin) and thought that my skin care products worked better following even the first use. My daughter tried a relative's Clarisonic over Christmas and liked it, but said the result felt the same after trying the Olay unit a couple of days ago. For a fraction of the cost, we are pretty happy so far.

 

[j9g8rchic]

mayhurst do you remember how much you paid for it at Costco?

 

[mayhurst]

I think it was around $36/$37 for everything (I'll try to find my receipt and post exact price); I compared the pricing and it was definitely a good value.
