SOLO Mio - Sonic Facial Brush, Cleanser & Massager

Every night after I washed my face (I double cleanse with an oil-based makeup remover followed by face wash) and applied toner with a cotton pad, there was always makeup residue left on the cotton pad. This left me cringing each time, and I decided that enough was enough. In spite of using the double-cleanse method, my bare fingers were not enough to remove all traces of makeup from my face. Now - I have oily and acne-prone skin, so any preventive measures I can take to reduce clogged pores would definitely mitigate the occurrence of breakouts.Initially I tried the Clarisonic. Although it was very effective at providing a deep cleanse, the sensitive brush's bristles were still way too harsh on my sensitive skin, which caused tiny bumps everywhere on my cheeks and forehead. Then, I tried the Foreo Luna Mini 1, which did not live up to my expectations considering its high price tag (compared to the Solo Mio, which many people claim is as good, if not better, than the Foreo Luna Mini 1). For the price, one would expect there to be more than 1 speed setting.I found out about this device from Kathleen Lights' YouTube review. At first I was skeptical because of how much it costs, but the high ratings convinced me to buy it. Let me tell you, do not let the affordable price tag fool you. The Solo Mio, in my opinion, is a better option if the other contender is the Foreo Luna Mini 1. I have not tried the Luna Mini 2 so I cannot speak for its quality. Aside from being 60 bucks cheaper than the Luna Mini 1, the Solo Mio outperforms it by a landslide. Although I don't know if I'll ever need all 14 speed settings, I do opt for higher speeds on days when I wear heavier makeup, my pores feel clogged, there is flakey skin that I want to exfoliate, or if I just feel like giving myself a face massage. After using this for the past 2 weeks, my face feels softer, brighter, cleaner, and never dry. Note that I also use a topical vitamin C powder every morning as a part of my skincare routine. At the end of the day, I no longer see makeup residue after I tone my face with a cotton pad and my acne has become less severe (they go away on their own quicker, too). This device does give a deep cleanse, but I did not experience any transient breakouts after initial use of it, which I was really afraid of when I tried the Clarisonic. I believe this tool has some other benefits such as stimulating collagen production and improving blood circulation, so in the next several months I hope to see more improvements to the texture and hyperpigmentation on my face.Definitely a product to recommend to family and friends!

I bought the Mio two years ago because I wanted the Foreo but I didn't want to pay the 140 dollars. I always wanted a spin brush but I really started to research and the Foreo seemed like the perfect fit, it was rechargeable, no buying removable heads, and it was more sanitary, but still the price though. I found this option and boy was I glad, it even seemed better than the Foreo because of the speed levels and the cover for the outlet. I took the chance and hoped it worked, I wanted to see if maybe this could convince me to spend the almost 150 dollars on the name brand one. Nope, it didn't, it convinced me to keep my money. I love this Mio so much that I won't even think of the Foreo anymore. I've had it two years already and I still love it and use it twice every day. The only thing is it is starting to lose charge faster but I mean it's been two years. I will end up buying a new one when it eventually gives out but it is still going so who knows how long that will be.

I purchased this July 2016 and was very excited to use this for facial exfoliation, and maybe help with clogged pores. Unfortunately, the battery could not hold a charge and it stopped functioning after 10-15 seconds of use. I tried charging it and using it again several times, but eventually gave up. This seems to be a common issue in the other lower-star reviews too (perhaps a quality control issue?)It is now a pink paperweight.

This solo mio is great! It works just as good if not better than the other name brand that cost $200. I know because I have both and I use this one over the other. I like the design of the Solo compared to others. The angle allows for me to get the sides of my nose and close to my hairline. It works well with any type of face cleaner or alone just to massage. I'm happy with the results and I love how clean my skin feels after every use.

I loved how this worked, when it actually worked. Not even two weeks after I purchased this, it turned on by itself and would not turn off until it just died completely. It is kind of an awkward shape to hold too. If this had kept working I would have given it 4 stars. Really disappointed and I have no idea how to take advantage of the warranty.

Not sure if my skin is messed up but I get chronic acne and blackheads. First day I tried this all the skin on my face got very bumpy, red, and itchy. I had it on the lowest setting, used slow circular motions, and didn't press down hard at all. This was the only difference in my skin care regimen. Didn't use it the next day and the irritation and bumps started to fade. Very disappointed considering all the great reviews, I wish I hadn't spent so much on this product.

I wanted to wait until I had the brush for some time before writing this review. I was recommended one of these by my esthetician. She had one in her spa but it was pricey, around $70. Very similar in design, and function. I'm a bargain shopper so of course I jumped on Amazon to see if I could find something similar but less expensive. I opted for this type of brush instead of the one that spins because my skin is sensitive and my esthetician said that the silicone ones are easier to keep clean and don't hold bacteria unlike the other brushes. This is a great product, easy to use. Multiple settings to adjust how much of a deep clean you want. I have not broken out, or had any skin irritation from the product, my skin feels much cleaner than using the facial cleanser alone. It comes with a USB cable to charge, so it makes it easy to take on trips. I've also used it in the shower several times, and have had no issues. I just make sure the plug cover is on properly before going in the shower so it doesn't get exposed to water.

My brush could have very well be used by someone else! I bought it to give as a gift. I am glad I looked closely, otherwise I would be very embarrassed if gave as a gift and it has HAIR in it! GROSS!!! I need my money back!

Been using this product for the past couple months. I do not see any drastic changes on my face but my face definitely feels cleaner.I thought I would have a lot of issues because of my dry skin but I haven’t had any reaction to it and its been keeping my skin pretty smooth.
