Japanese Soft ''Whip Pore'' Face Cleansing Brush by VESS

Well-made and works great. The motion to clean is a gentle, circular one in a small area -- not long strokes. After washing the brush, it's easy to just quickly flick the brush head like a "whip" to remove most of the water and reform the brush head to its original circular shape. I find it cleans my face much better than just using my hands to wash my face, and has noticeably reduced the amount of clogged pores I get. The way I use it is with some mild baby soap (no harsh chemicals), I use the brush to work the soap into the skin (especially the tricky, curvy part just below the lower lips, and the skin just under the nose), and finally rinse off with warm water. The "whip pore" brush can be washed with mild soap, and dries readily after the initial "flick" to flick off excess water. It's very effective and isn't too rough for me, highly recommended for anyone with sensitive skin who wants to reduce the amount of clogged pores they get every month.

I love this brush, I use it with CeraVe foaming facial cleanser and it makes my skin feel really clean, and I do see less acne now when I use the two together.I would also recommend cleaning the brush now and again in case Bacteria grows on it because if it does you won't get good results. So to prevent that I spray rubbing alcohol on it every week and then let it sit for a few minutes and then rinse it and it's ready to use again.

It's an okay brush. There aren't enough bristles and bristles are too soft and it bends and collapses too much. It may be better suited for people with sensitive skin.

I use this brush with my Komenuka Bijin cleanser, and it does such a great job of gently cleansing and exfoliating my skin. I have very large pores (sigh), so just washing with my finger isn't quite enough...my skin really does look brighter after using this (of course, I just brushed it right?), but it's not red and irritated, it's just brighter, like it's cleaner. I've noticed a decrease in the size of those hard blackheads that turn into little bumps (also using salicylic acid on those though too), but I'm not getting any new ones, and that is good! So I use this every night for gentle exfoliation. I was thinking of buying one those electric facial brushes, but this seems to do the same job, just manually...great product. :)

The soft pink color is gorgeous. The brush is very fluffy and luxurious. But it never dries completely, and starts to smell. Probably pretty bacteria laden. Ingot a cheaper thinner one, works great, dries fully

Bought this brush specifically because it was advertised as "soft." As soon as it arrived however I could see that the bristles were plastic and not nearly as fine as I had expected. Against my hand it felt OK, the bristles had decent give.But then I used it on my face.. I put my cleanser on my face first and then dampened the brush. As soon as I used it against my skin, it felt prickly and uncomfortable. I would be worried about damaging my skin with this brush, and the discomfort lasted a while after I stopped using it.

This is a nice and soft face brush I use to wash my face daily with. I do find the bristles a bit softer than I would like. I would say this is more of a gentle clean than a exfoliating one. I alternate using this and the h20+ Dual-Action Pore Perfecting Brush which is a bit more firm. Overall I find it useful to remove face makeup after a long day.

I've had other face brushes that were really low quality and fell apart immediately -- this is great, does the job and holds up well.Also going to add -- I bought one of those expensive sonic vibrating face brushes, you know the ones, cost over $150? Used that once and immediately recognized that my manual Whip Pore brush was as good if not better. So this Whip Pore is a big money saver too!
