There is no grit and no abrasive. The blade never needs to press hard, because the work is being done by the vibration rather than by pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat matters because the usual alternative is physical exfoliation, which removes buildup by abrading the surface. Abrasion works, but it is difficult to control and easy to overdo, particularly on skin that is already sensitised. Ultrasonic cleansing is the gentler route to the same outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/nb\/products\/ultrasonic-facial-cleanser-scrubber\"\u003eEvenSkyn® Cosmo\u003c\/a\u003e is the device in this category, and it runs in a few modes: lifting buildup out of the pore, and helping press product into freshly cleansed skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThis is the step that comes first\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people buy a cleansing device as a standalone, then find its real value is what it does for everything after it. Energy-based treatments need clean skin and good contact. Serums absorb into a surface that has been cleared rather than one still holding the day on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA practical order for an evening that includes a device session:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleanse normally first.\u003c\/strong\u003e The scrubber is not a replacement for your cleanser, it is what follows it.

Daily use is where people get into trouble, because even gentle removal of surface buildup becomes too much when it happens every day. Skin that starts feeling tight, looking shiny in a way it did not before, or stinging when you apply anything is telling you the frequency is too high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCongested and oily skin generally tolerates the upper end of that range. Dry or reactive skin should sit at the lower end, or once a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHonest about what it will not do\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn ultrasonic scrubber clears buildup and improves how the skin looks and takes product. It does not treat acne, it does not remove blackheads permanently, and it will not change pore size, because pore size is largely structural. What it can do is stop pores looking as prominent by keeping them clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not suitable over active breakouts, broken skin, sunburn or areas being treated for a skin condition. If you are using prescription retinoids or acids, introduce it slowly and space it away from those nights rather than stacking them.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ultrasonic-facial-cleanser-scrubber","title":"EvenSkyn® Cosmo: Ultrasonic Facial Cleanser \u0026 Scrubber","description":"\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 1em;\"\u003eThe EvenSkyn® Cosmo is an ultrasonic skin scrubber, sometimes called a skin spatula: a stainless steel blade that vibrates at 24,000 Hz and glides flat across damp skin.
