FOREO LUNA Mini 2 & LUNA Mini 3: Which One is Right for You?

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Whether you are looking to take your own skin cleansing routine to the next level, or looking to buy your mom a special gift for Mother's Day, the FOREO LUNA Mini 2 and FOREO LUNA Mini 3 offer two great options. The former is the more affordable older version, and has fewer bells and whistles, but it offers the same exceptional cleansing as the Mini 3. The latter certainly has more options, but if you are on a budget you won't feel cheated if you purchase the Mini 2 instead. Additionally, FOREO Micro-Foam Cleanser is a wonderful foaming cleanser that is very gentle and effective, and it pairs perfectly with all of the LUNA devices.

Both models feature touch points are very soft against the skin without sacrificing efficacy. They are both small enough to carry in your gym bag or your travel bag.

Unlike cleaning devices, with removable brush heads, that only clean the face, the LUNA is an ingenious two-sided sonic cleaner that offers added functionality.

The pragmatic design, which altogether eliminates the need for a removable brush-head that has to be replaced every few months, eliminates the same level of cleaning to remove bacteria buildup from the device itself. Furthermore, the all-silicone device is ultra-hygienic, and therefore resists bacteria buildup. Both version offer a 2 year limited warranty, a USB charger and a sample of Serum Serum Serum. The LUNA Mini 3 also comes with a travel pouch. 

FOREO LUNA Mini 3 ($159.00 from FOREO, Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom and Macy's): The FOREO LUNA 3 features a brush head that is 40% larger, than its predecessors, and its touchpoints are 25% softer and 10% longer than the earlier versions. This means that it is more effective and efficient in its ability to access hard-to-reach areas, and to clean the skin faster than the earlier versions (such as the FOREO LUNA Mini 2). This compact, and waterproof, device offers up to 400 uses on a full charge.

According to FOREO,

Upgrade your post-workout skincare routine with LUNATM mini 3. Featuring extra-gentle silicone touchpoints and 8,000 T-Sonic pulsations per minute at 12 intensities, this ultra-hygienic cleansing device expertly lifts away dirt, oil and sweat for a fresh, healthy glow. Perfect for an active lifestyle, this gym bag-friendly device offers a 30- second glow boost mode for fast yet gentle facial cleansing, and a cute, compact design ideal for skincare on-the-go.

Directions: Before your first cleanse, press universal button once to sync the device with the FOREO app and choose your cleansing intensity.

1) Remove all makeup, dampen skin and then apply your FOREO Micro-Foam Cleanser.

2) Press universal button once for cleansing mode or quick-press twice for glow boost mode.*

3) Cleanse using circular movements on cheeks and forehead, gliding up and down the nose.

4) Press and hold button for 3 seconds to turn off device.

5) Rinse and pat your face dry.

*Device will automatically switch off after 30 seconds in glow boost mode

Cleaning your device: Always clean your device thoroughly after use. Wash the brush surface with water and soap, then rinse with warm water. Avoid using clay-based, silicone-based or grainy cleansers, exfoliators or scrubs, as they may damage the device's soft silicone touchpoints. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth or towel. After use, we recommend spraying the device with FOREO Silicone Cleaning Spray and rinsing with warm water for optimal results.

The thicker touch points found on the back of the LUNA Mini 3 provides a deep precision cleanse for active t-zones.

When the device is on, the light illuminates.

FOREO LUNA Mini 2 ($119.00 from FOREO, Ulta and Macy's): This device does an amazing job gently and effectively cleaning the skin, and I do not note any difference from the LUNA Mini 3 in its ability to efficiently clean my skin. However, I will say that if you have combination to oily skin that you might actually prefer the LUNA Mini 2 because its back side offers the larger touchpoints– which are perfect for effectively working the t-zone and breakout-prone parts of the skin.

According to FOREO,

The LUNA mini 2 marks a revolution in facial cleansing, combining FOREO’s groundbreaking T-Sonic pulsations with an innovative silicone brush design for a deeper and gentler cleanse. When channeled through smooth, silicone touch-points, T-Sonic massaging pulsations remove blemish-causing impurities significantly more effectively than washing by hand, leaving skin clearer and brighter. Deep cleansing unblocks pores and reduces their appearance, refining and smoothing your skin’s texture.

Suitable for all skin types, the LUNA mini 2's 3-zone brush features thinner touch-points to gently cleanse sensitive or dry skin and thicker touch-points for precision cleansing on the front, and broad touch-points to refresh oilier skin on the back. We recommend cleansing with the LUNA mini 2 for 1 minute every morning and evening.

Features & Benefits:

Unique Silicone Design: Even softer touch-points are extremely gentle on the skin. Ultra-hygienic silicone is nonporous to resist bacteria buildup. 35X more hygienic than standard cleansing brushes.

2nd Generation Brush Head: 50% bigger brush head for more efficient cleansing. Longer touch-points extend reach to cleanse hard to reach areas. Thicker silicone body for greater comfort and performance.

2X T-Sonic Power: 8,000 T-Sonic (transdermal sonic) pulsations per minute at 2X the power. 8 intensities for customizable cleansing.

3-Zone Brush: Thinner touch-points gently cleanse sensitive and normal skin. Thicker touch-points for precision cleansing. Broader touch-points on the reverse side address oilier skin.

Exceptional Value: No replacement brush heads needed. 2-Year Limited Warranty. 10-Year Quality Guarantee.

Smart Swedish Design: 100% waterproof for use in bath or shower. 300 uses per full charge.

Channeled through smooth, silicone touch-points, T-Sonic pulsations help to unclog pores of 99.5% of dirt and oil*, as well as remove makeup residue and dead skin cells.

Try spending around 15 seconds cleansing each zone of your face; after this interval the LUNA mini 2’s indicator will flash and pulsations will pause momentarily.

Directions:

1. APPLY CLEANSER

Remove all makeup, wet the LUNA mini 2 then dampen your face and apply your regular cleansing product. Turn on your LUNA mini 2 by pressing the center button.

2. CLEANSE THE FOLLOWING ZONES:

Every 15 seconds pulsations will pause to indicate when to cleanse a new zone.

- Massage your chin and cheek using circular movements and repeat on the other side. 

- Starting from the center, massage your forehead with gentle outward circular strokes. 

- Massage the nose by gliding up and down one side, then the other. Delicately massage the under-eye region using outward strokes – we suggest reducing the pulsation intensity.

Rinse and dry your face to complete the 1-minute cleansing routine. Then, apply your favorite skincare products, if any.

Please note that to prevent overuse, the LUNA Mini 2 will automatically switch itself off if left on for 3 minutes. 420 mAh 3.7 V. Up to 300 uses on a single charge.

FOREO Micro-Foam Cleanser ($44.90 for 3.3 oz. from FOREO): This is a very gentle facial cleansing foam that effectively cleans without stripping or drying it in the least bit. It forms a very satisfying lather that is creamy, hydrating and nourishing. It rinses clean, without any residue, and is perfectly paired with any of the FOREO LUNA devices.

According to FOREO,

FOREO Micro-Foam cleanser gently removes any impurities collected throughout your day while nourishing the skin with naturally hydrating and skin-friendly ingredients, making it a great match for all skin types. This silky smooth facial cleanser promises a radiant complexion even after the first use! 

This creamy cleanser transforms into delicate micro-bubbles that lift impurities from deep within pores, gently purify skin, and remove excess oil. Its special formula, containing skin replenishing amino acids and vitamin E, helps moisturize and protect your skin so it’s left feeling soft and looking vibrant.

Directions:

1) Apply a small amount to damp skin and watch the Micro-Foam cleanser create a rich lather.

2) Massage the cleanser into your skin using fingertips or, for a deeper cleanse, use your LUNA.

3) Finally, rinse your face and your LUNA with water and gently pat dry.

Dermatologist Tested | Fragrance-Free | Cruelty-Free | Vegan

Formulated Without: Sulfates, Phenoxyethanol, Silicones, Disodium EDTA, Mineral Oil.

FOREO LUNA 3 FOR NORMAL SKIN | REVIEW

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I love using facial cleansing brushes and my favorites have been made by FOREO.  The numerous incarnations of the FOREO LUNA have proven to be remarkably effective for my normal/combination skin. I have used the original LUNA for Sensitive to Normal Skin (Pink LUNA shown below. Reviewed HERE) and the LUNA 2 for Combination Skin (Blue LUNA shown below. Reviewed HERE).

I recently began using the new FOREO LUNA 3, and I much prefer it to the earlier versions of this wonderful device. I received the model for normal skin, and I love the size of the touchpoints. As you can see, when compared to the picture of all three versions below, the touchpoints of the LUNA 3 cover a much larger surface area on the device– which makes using this version far more efficient. One of the primary differences that you will initially note when you set up your new LUNA 3 is that you need to download the FOREO app via Bluetooth to unlock your device before using it for the first time, but have no fear it is super fast and easy.

According to FOREO,

Ever made a last minute decision that changed everything? The workout’s over, you’re dripping with sweat and you just want to go home. But if you go out there with your face all sweaty and pores wide open, chances are slim you’ll get away clean.

LUNA 3 only takes a minute to wash away the dirt, oil and sweat known to cause breakouts. Because a deep cleanse today means clear skin tomorrow. No matter how long or hard you scrub with your hands, they’ll never get your face as clean, firm, and smooth as LUNA 3’s soft silicone and high-tech T-Sonic™ pulsations.

Sonic waves are sound waves. They vibrate really fast. When these waves are directed into your skin, they extend deep into your pores to gently shake loose dirt and make-up residue that washcloths and non-sonic face brushes can’t reach. Sonic waves also increase circulation, exfoliate the skin without pulling on it and improve detoxification by stimulating your skin at the cellular level. LUNA 3 sends 8,000 T-Sonic™ pulsations per minute into your pores to clean your face better than pretty much anything else on the planet. The ‘T’ stands for transdermal, which means ‘through the skin’.

The LUNA 3 for Normal Skin is made for normal skin that is "nearly problem free" and that essentially just needs daily maintenance to keep it in great shape. My skin can be sensitive, at times, but for the most part it doesn't breakout often. I do get some blackheads and whiteheads, but this sonic device does an excellent job clearing those pores,. Once in a while when I do get a pimple or two the LUNA 3 clears them quickly. The silicone touchpoints are soft and gentle against the skin, and in concert with FOREO's T-Sonic pulsations this device does a remarkable job cleaning out the pores, removing dirt and leaving skin clean and clear.

While the overall size of the LUNA 3 is the same as the LUNA and  LUNA 2, FOREO has increased the surface area of the cleansing brush and the anti-aging massage surface considerably. The bigger brush head, with many more touchpoints, makes the new version far more effective and efficient. The silicone touchpoints are plush and offer great comfort and higher performance. 

About the LUNA 3 for Normal Skin,

Congratulations, you basically won the gene pool lottery! But just because your skin is nearly problem-free doesn’t mean you should get lazy. Here’s how to keep your skin looking its best.

Your pores are probably on the smaller side - which is great! But that doesn’t make them immune to blackheads. You still need a regular skincare routine to stave off the occasional breakout. Use LUNA 3 for normal skin to help keep your face clean and glowing all day long.

Even people with normal skin aren’t safe from a random flare up. Use LUNA 3 for normal skin as a part of your regular routine to chase away blemishes before they appear. Its T-Sonic™ pulsations and silicone touchpoints keep your pores clean, giving you a flawless complexion.

N.B.: Using your LUNA post-workout when you have been sweating hard seems to work really well, in my experience. Your body is able to begin the process of clearing the pores, but the LUNA can get right in there and finish the job. I was actually pretty surprised by the extent to which this combination made such a huge difference. My skin was left with an even more pronounced glow and my pores looked even clearer than just using the LUNA alone.

Note just how many touchpoints populate the LUNA 3– particularly when compared to the earlier versions of the LUNA.

The Anti-Aging Mode visibly softens fine lines and appears to tone the skin. Skin appears lifted and more taut, and continued use really sustains and enhances the results. It also feels amazingly relaxing, and is the perfect way to get centered. You will also note that the On/Off button is now on the backside between the massaging ridges and the charging portal.

As noted, not only does the LUNA 3 more efficiently clean my skin than the LUNA and LUNA 2, but it also is more efficient in loosening and removing debris that clogs my pores. Like the original LUNA and LUNA 2 you don't need to apply pressure to the LUNA 3 to enhance its ability to clean. All that is needed is a light touch and the LUNA 3 will do all of the work for you. My skin is more luminous, radiant, even-toned, balanced and healthy since making the LUNA 3 part of my daily ritual.

The LUNA 3 thoroughly, and gently, cleans the skin and removes dead skin cells which allows serums, beauty oils and creams to absorb more deeply. Furthermore, clean and unclogged skin requires the use of less product, and therefore it is a far more economical approach to skincare in the long run.

Close-up view of the LUNA 3 touchpoints.

Overall Assessment: If you are in the market for a facial cleansing brush, I highly recommend the LUNA 3. If you have normal-leaning skin, then I definitely suggest the LUNA 3 for Normal Skin. However, if your skin is more combination than normal, then you probably want the LUNA 3 for Combination Skin. If your skin is very sensitive, then the LUNA 3 for Sensitive Skin is probably your best bet, but if your skin isn't that sensitive, you may prefer the LUNA 3 for Normal or Combination Skin. The LUNA 3 is really a big improvement over the earlier versions, and if you are torn between the LUNA 2 and the LUNA 3, I would recommend the LUNA 3 because there are so many more touchpoints on the newer version that make it a more efficient model. If, however, you already have a LUNA or LUNA 2, there is no reason to buy the LUNA 3.

FOREO LUNA PLAY #PlayAtSpaceNK #SpaceNK #FOREOLunaPlay| A Delighted Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I absolutely love my FOREO LUNA 2 (Reviewed HERE), and have to say that I have never loved a cleansing device more than this, but mine is too big to take with me when I want to travel very light– that is until now! The FOREO LUNA Play is about the size of a macaron, and it nestles into the balm of your hand effortlessly. It is non-chargeable, but the charge lasts for a minimum of 100 uses, and it proves to be a very economical way for newcomers to the world of FOREO to test the LUNA before committing to the full size device, but it is also a fantastic way for people who love their FOREO LUNA to travel with a tiny version of this ingenious beauty tool. This is also the perfect size to put in your gym bag! Furthermore, the high quality plastic case is the perfect way to keep the LUNA Play clean and protected in your travel bag.

FOREO Luna Play is available in Aquamarine, Yellow and Purple at Space NK, and all three are precisely the same design.

According to FOREO,

Though small in size, the LUNA play facial-cleansing brush is big on innovation. Packing the entire LUNA experience into a macaroon-sized device, the LUNA play is a fun and affordable intro to the amazing skincare benefits that come from T-Sonic cleansing.

Luna Play is a non-rechargeable pocket-sized facial-cleansing device. It removes 99.5% of dirt and impurities and is more hygienic than the bristled facial-cleansing brushes, leaving your complexion visibly smooth, radiant, and naturally beautiful while unclogging pores of gross gunk and grime, like dirt, oil and makeup residue.

With a 2-zone cleansing brush, the Luna Play allows users of every skin type to discover fresh, clear and even-looking complexion in 6 weeks with just 1 minute twice a day. The thinner touch-points gently cleanse sensitive and normal skin while thicker touch-points are great for precision cleansing.

Every LUNA play face brush provides up to 100 full cleansing routines and is non rechargeable.

Key Benefits:
• Unique silicone design with even softer touch-points which are extremely gentle on the skin.
• Hypoallergenic, free of phthalates and BPA. Silicone is nonporous to resist bacteria buildup.
• T-Sonic™ power, with 8,000 transdermal sonic pulsations per minute.
• Travel-friendly: Lightweight and easy to carry as it is the same size as a cotton pad.
• Waterproof for use in bath or shower.

Combining patented T-Sonic technology with a unique silicone brush, the FOREO Luna delivers deep cleansing, while lower-frequency vibrations prevent signs of aging.

Overall Assessment: What a brilliant addition to the FOREO LUNA family! A+

FOREO LUNA 2 for Combination Skin | Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I love a great facial cleansing brush, and by far, my favorite has been the FOREO LUNA (Reviewed HERE). I actually didn't think that I could find something better than my LUNA for Sensitive/Normal Skin, but when FOREO launched their LUNA 2 line I was proven wrong. If you had told me a year ago that FOREO would be launching the LUNA 2, I would have said why mess with perfection, but they clearly knew what they were doing because the new design is even better than the original.

This time, I decided to try the LUNA 2 for Combination Skin, and I simply couldn't be happier. Given that my skin is normal/combination I had some wiggle room about which type to select, but since I already have the original LUNA for Sensitive/Normal Skin– I thought that I would try something different. 

FOREO made numerous changes in the LUNA 2, and they created four specialized designs to more precisely meet the needs of combination skin, normal skin, oily skin and sensitive skin.

According to FOREO,

The revolutionary designed LUNA 2 is an enhanced T-Sonic™ face brush and anti-aging system that gives you a completely personalized cleansing. The LUNA 2 is now available with four specialized brush types for a tailor-made skin care experience.

The LUNA 2 goes beyond the standard facial cleansing brush by delivering real skin care results that you – and everyone else – will see. Indulge in a 2-minute daily gentle skin care routine and uncover a more luminous, refined and youthful look. 

The next-generation LUNA 2 facial cleansing brush utilizes up to 2X the T-Sonic power to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores of makeup residue, and remove up to 99.5% of dirt and oil. The LUNA 2 face brush also improves the absorption of your favorite skincare products.

Left to Right: FOREO LUNA 2 for Combination Skin and FOREO LUNA for Sensitive/Normal Skin

While the overall size of the LUNA and LUNA 2 are the same, FOREO has increased the surface area of the cleansing brush and the anti-aging massage surface by 50%. The bigger brush head, coupled with the longer touch-points make the new version far more effective and efficient. The silicone touch-points are plush and offer greater comfort and higher performance. 

The efficacy of this cleaning device is possible because the LUNA 2 features 8,000 Transdermal Sonic (T-Sonic) pulsations per 2 minutes at 2X the power, and because it delivers the deepest cleaning possible while remaining very gentle on the skin. In fact, the touch points are even softer in the new generation LUNA 2 models making them more gentle on the skin that the original LUNA.

The LUNA 2 boasts 12 customizable intensities that allows you to alter the intensity depending on the needs of your skin at any given moment. Furthermore, when utilizing the anti-aging side of the LUNA 2, their lower-frequency pulsations specifically target the wrinkle prone areas of the face, and smooth and firm the appearance of the skin.

The nonporous silicone is ultra-hygienic, and is therefore resistant to bacterial buildup. While it is completely waterproof, and thus perfect in the shower, I do not store it in the shower because it is more sanitary to store it in a dry environment. Because of its innovative design, FOREO asserts that the LUNA 2 is 35% more hygienic than standard cleansing brushes. Unlike traditional traditional cleansing brushes, with removable heads, the LUNA 2 naturally harbors less bacteria.

The sealed charging port is, "waterproof to a depth of 1 meter allowing for easy cleaning and use in the bath or shower." 

The LUNA 2 is 100% waterproof, and therefore can safely be used in the shower and bathtub.  

Each full charge results in an astounding 450 uses!

Unlike cleaning devices with removable brush heads, that only clean the face, the LUNA is an ingenious two-sided sonic cleaner that offers added functionality. The brush cleaning surface effectively and efficiently cleans the face, but it also features a visionary Anti-Aging Surface that treats wrinkle-prone tension spots.

The pragmatic design, which altogether eliminates the need for a removable brush-head that has to be replaced every few months, eliminates the same level of cleaning to remove bacteria buildup from the device itself. 

I also find that the LUNA'S cleaning surface, comprised of the rounded silicone touch points offer a more efficient means of cleaning the skin. For instance, the Clarisonic has longer bristles that keep the base of the cleaner at a greater distance from the skin, and its pulsations are more diffused by its brush. Conversely, the LUNA 2's T-Sonic Pulsations are transferred directly from the base unit to the face without this greater distance between the base and the tips of the bristles. 

While both types of devices clean the skin, the LUNA 2 offers a built-in massage because of its intimate proximity to the skin, and the direct transfer of the full intensity of the T-Sonic Pulsations–  even when using the Cleaning Surface instead of the Anti-Aging Surface.

Why is a Silicone Brush More Effective than a Bristle Brush-Based Cleaner?

In addition to being more hygienic, the added benefit of not having to buy replacement brushes makes the LUNA more economical over time. 

It is not only the brush, in devices like the Clarisonic, that require cleaning, but also the area under the brush where it attaches to the base since it harbors tremendous bacterial build-up there as well. Given that there are no moving parts to attach and detach on the LUNA, it is much easier to clean, and its nonporous silicone body is far more resistant to bacteria than a detachable brush. I also always store my LUNA in a dry cabinet free from sunlight, moisture, or fluctuations in temperature. 

What is the best way to use the LUNA?

1) Apply your favorite cleanser. Wet the LUNA 2 and activate its Cleansing Mode.

2) Cleanse: Gently glide the LUNA 2’s cleansing surface in circular motions over your face for 1-2 minutes.

3) Rinse and dry your face. Apply skincare products,.

4) Anti-Aging: Activate the LUNA 2’s Anti-Aging Mode. Press its anti-aging surface onto wrinkle-prone areas for a total of 1 minute.

I  use the LUNA 2 once a day, in the mornings, while I shower. I prefer this method to standing in front of the sink because it is less messy to use it on my face, neck and décolleté in the shower since rinsing is much easier than at the basin.

The Cleansing Mode:

The first thing that I do is dampen my face and then apply my cleanser directly to my skin, and then begin using the LUNA 2. If I use the LUNA 2 in the evening, rather than in my morning shower, then I first remove all of my makeup and then dampen my face and apply my cleanser. I have also used an alternative method by applying the cleanser directly to the LUNA and then activating the lather with my fingertips before using the LUNA. I prefer apply it to my skin because I am able to use less cleanser that way.

Follow by wetting the LUNA’s brush surface, then turn on the device by pressing the center button once– which activates the Cleansing Mode. I tend to use the LUNA 2 on my face for a full 2 minute cycle, and  use it for 30 seconds on each zone of my face (forehead, nose and chin, right side of my face, and left side of my face).

1. Start cleansing your chin,  move along your jaw to your ear using gentle upward strokes, then continue higher to cleanse the whole cheek.

2. Change to the other side of your face and repeat step 1.

3. Starting from the center of your forehead, cleanse the entire region with gentle outward strokes to both sides.

4. Cleanse one side of the nose by gently gliding the LUNA 2 up and down, then change to the other side of the nose.  Finally, delicately cleanse the under-eye region using outward strokes.

The Anti-Aging Mode:

While I have a few expression lines, as opposed to deep-set wrinkles, I have definitely noticed that they appear finer and softer since using LUNA 2 Anti-Aging Mode. 

FOREO suggests spending around 12 seconds on each of the face’s wrinkle-prone tension points:

1. Region between the eyebrows

2. Right temple

3. Right nasolabial fold

4. Left nasolabial fold

5. Left temple

Tangible Results:

Not only does the LUNA 2 more efficiently clean my skin than the LUNA, but it also is more efficient in loosening and removing debris that clogs my pores. The brush itself is softer, more gentle with longer touch points. Like the original LUNA, you don't need to apply pressure to the LUNA 2 to enhance its ability to clean, all that is needed is a light touch and the LUNA 2 will do all of the work for you.

My skin is more luminous, radiant, even-toned, balanced and healthy since making the LUNA part of my daily ritual, and the LUNA 2 is even more effective and efficient. 

The LUNA 2 thoroughly, and gently, cleans the skin and removes dead skin cells which allows serums, beauty oils and creams to absorb more deeply. Furthermore, clean and unclogged skin requires the use of less product, and therefore it is a far more economical approach to skincare in the long run. 

The Anti-Aging Mode visibly softens fine lines and appears to tone the skin. Skin appears lifted and more taut, and continued use really sustains and enhances the results. It also feels amazingly relaxing, and is the perfect way to get centered.

LUNA™ 2 COMBINATION SKIN

LUNA™ 2 NORMAL SKIN

LUNA™ 2 OILY SKIN

LUNA™ 2 SENSITIVE SKIN

Overall Assessment: I definitely think that the LUNA 2 is an improvement over the LUNA. I really love the LUNA 2, but if you already own the LUNA there is no need to spend the money on the LUNA 2. If, however, you have been wanting to buy a FOREO LUNA, I would definitely suggest buying the LUNA 2. A+++ cleaning devise. I use mine every single day, and thoroughly enjoy the ritual and the unmistakable results.
