I received this product for free from Foreo in exchange for an honest review.
If you read my recent Asian skincare post, you’ll remember that I’m really into skincare right now. Over the years, I’ve vacillated between not caring about my skin at all and caring about it obsessively, and obviously right now I’m in an obsessive phase.
I’ve been trying out new products and adding and subtracting things from my skincare routine like a madwoman trying to figure out the *perfect* combination to achieve healthy skin. My goals are to eliminate breakouts, hydrate my skin, and fade old acne scars (I have a ton) so that I can feel confident without makeup.
Thinking back to when my skin was its clearest, I remember using benzoyl peroxide daily, along with the exfoliating St. Ives Apricot Scrub. Once I started reading about skincare, I learned that St. Ives isn’t necessarily a great option because the exfoliating particles are unevenly sized and very rough, so I stopped using it. But part of me feels like the physical exfoliation was a big part of what was keeping my skin clear.
So when I had the opportunity to try out a product from Foreo, I picked out the Luna 2 Skincare Brush (for normal skin), thinking it would be a way to get back into physical exfoliation, but more gently this time.
Aside from the normal skin version (pink) that I picked, Foreo also offers versions for combination skin (blue), oily skin (aqua), and sensitive skin (purple), which differ in the size and softness of the silicone “bristles”.
Although I started using the Foreo Luna 2 in the midst of tinkering with other things in my routine, I am really enjoying it and believe it’s improving my skin. After an initial charge, it’s been hanging out in my shower for a few weeks and is still going strong. I’ve read online reviews of people saying that one charge lasts for months – hope that’s true!
These are not true to color as they were taken under fluorescent lighting.
The device powers on using the middle button, and using the plus and minus buttons, you can adjust the intensity of the vibrations. It vibrates in four periods of 30 seconds so you know when to switch to another part of your face, and although it’s recommended that you stick to just two minutes of use, it keeps going after the four periods are up in case you have more work to do. I use it for 30 seconds each on my cheeks, chin, and nose area, and then I keep going so I can get my forehead as well.
On the back, there is a different texture of silicone which is supposedly for anti-aging, but I haven’t tried that function yet.
I just foam up my cleanser with my hands and apply to my face and then the brush before powering it on and getting started. In a way, it actually seems gentler than the usual way I wash my face by kind of scrubbing with my fingertips, and my face feels super smooth and clean afterward.
Overall, I’d definitely recommend this product. It’s helped clear stubborn clogged pores on my face and it forces me to be a bit gentler with my skin. Plus, it’s cute and fun to use! Although it does look a bit like a vibrator…
Kusum says
Looks like a nice product, I have always been wanting to buy an electronic scrub myself.

Rust says
Haha – I was thinking vibrator thoughts too! Ok, aside from that, the anti-aging feature appeals to me and my ancient skin. The other features appeal too. 🙂
I am going to have to try this one of these days, it sounds interesting!
Richard Hicks says
I have never seen a brush like this. Exfoliating is really important and looks like it gets the job done
Marcie W. says
I could use a good exfoliation method since I have heard the small particles in scrubs are bad for the environment. This brush looks like a great solution.
Cynthia C says
I used to use St Ives apricot scrub too but haven’t in a while. I’d love to try this.
Stephanie Phelps says
I have never heard of it but using it in the shower makes so much more sense and knowing that it last a while it great! Being gentler than using your fingers and gets it smooth and soft nice. Thank you for the fabulous review!

Many years ago, I did try a skincare brush and I did not like it, made my face irritated. I would be interested in trying the Foreo Luna 2, technology has improved and it may fell great! 🙂

I would definitely give this a whirl. I’ve seen products that literally poke or scrape your face. This looks like it’s a bit gentler on your skin, but still gets the job done.

This is the first time that I heard this, but it looks like an interesting product.
Allan Liwanag says
My wife thinks that it looks awesome. She said she wouldn’t mind trying it. I just hope we had one product like that or that here. Unfortunately, we live way too far to the malls and stores to even see if they have that. My wife said anything that unclog pores, she’s in.
Ana says
This sounds like an amazing product. Can’t wait to check it out as I am really irritated with my clogged pores on noes these days!
tp keane says
I so have to try this. My combination skin goes mental during the summer. Thanks for the heads up.

Laura H says
I’ve got the Foreo Luna Mini at home and I love it! I think it’s much better than sonic brushes as you don’t need to replace the brush and it doesn’t get dirty 🙂
Rosey says
I like that it’s helped unclog pores. I wouldn’t mind getting my daughter this…her skin is starting to give her some challenges.
Lisa Rios says
Though I have heard a lot about it, I have never used one such skin care product before. Foreo Luna 2 looks amazing & I love that it is so easy to use & the results are surely going to be great as well. I would love to give this a try.

I think this is a very interesting addition to any skin care routine. I’m sure it helps to stimulate your skin and keep it young.

Wow, this brush looks nice! Thanks for the review!
Dana Rodriguez says
LOL yeah it does kind of look like a vibrator. I saw these yesterday on a daytime talk show and I would love to try one!
Amy Scott says
I have a small little version of this that you just run across your skin like a cotton pad. I find those little spikes are great for lifting and remaining dirt a face wash on its own won’t get. Your skin ends up feeling SO smooth and soft, I wonder in the long run though, if it is too harsh on the delicate skin of our face?
Rashmi & Chalukya says
I have never used one but this looks like an amazing product. Would definitely give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
