This product is wonderful. Compared to other power cleaners, this one seems to work just right for me. I refuse to spend $40-$200 on a system like this, when neutregena works for me just fine. I use it once a day, whether in the shower or just washing my face. When I am in the shower, i add an apricot scrub to my face- clean away for a total of 5minutes. Afterwards, i use another face cleaner and wash with the wave for another 5minutes. After I am done cleaning my face, I take a rough body scrub and apply it to my arms and my elbows. I run the qave up and down the upper part of my arms (where i have a mild form of roseasea and some small red bumps on my arms) and my elbows. I do this for quite a while- keep working that exfoliator up and down my whole arms and on my elbows (which sometimes dry out, the exfoliant makes it soft and hydrated). On the days that i am not in the shower, I will still exfoliate and clean, put a deep cleaner on an my face and clean and then add an acne treatment and clean. I clean for 5minutes for each step, making sure my whole face is taken care of, my jawline and my neck, and sometimes on my chest if there is a blemish or two (which i sometimes get in the summer time). My face is left smoothe, clean... My arms are left smoothe and really taken care of. From here I will add my vitamin C, my creams and serums- leaving my face feel so healthy and taken care of. I also take the honey and oatmeal baby lotion, and lather it all over my arms, elbows, shoulders, chest. After this, the red bumps are nearly gone, my skin is hydrated, exfoliated and so healthy... All thanks to the wave <3 A small piece of advice for those who do not have a rechargeable kit for AA batteries- spend the money and get one. I have 6to rechargeables, so while one is in my wave, the other set is charging and I can go back and forth without having to spend an arm and a leg on batteries. I use my wave so oftem, i find myself going through batteries every 3 days or so... I know I use mine a lot more than others may, but i promise you it will pay itself off after a couple weeks if you buy the rechargeable kit- this wave eats through batteries like nobodies business. One other complaint I have, is how expensive the refill pads are. I really wish target or wal mart would come up with a generic brand of exfoliator pads, so i could save a liitle bit. One user said that she reuses her pads and only changes them out once a week. That is bad news. Leaving that dirty wet pad and using it over and over again is just asking for your skin to break out. Nobody takes a bath, and then saves the water to bathe in for the next week- so its not a good idea to do that with the pads. I know they are pricey, but its not worth spinning a filthy pad around your face. Just my opinion <3 Man, I kept rambling on and on... i hope that I was able to inform you a bit about this product and how wonderful it is! continued >>

I've never been too concerned w washing my face bc I generally have good skin, but this interested me so I bought it. My skin was visibly fine before, but it's even cleaner now. I can see less blackheads and notice more smoothness on my face. I give it a 4 bc I have nothing to compare it to- besides soap, water, and wash cloths :-p. I do think it's great and I don't currently feel the need to invest in anything expensive (clarsonic, for example). I use it in the shower each morning and before I go to bed I use Ponds luminous towelettes to remove make up. I probably should use this before bed, but to each their own. I only use the exfoliator pads 1-2 times weekly(that's as much as your skin needs to be exfoliated, not daily); any more and I'm messing my face up. So I recommend buying the cleansing pads and exfoliating pads and changing it up.

Useless if you are accustomed to other facial clothes.

This is not supposed to be a dupe of clarisonic btw. It spins a cloth pad over your face. Clarisomic vibrates up and down.

Pros:
- feels massaging as i use it
- buffs away dead skin cells
- deep cleaning pads feel refreshing

Cons
-Requires batteries
-doesn't feel very powerful when spinning
- cant reach hard to reach places
- not ery economic considering you need to replenish batteries and pads. Just buy facial clothes!

Good for: ppl who want a electonic tool to help exfoliate
Not for: ppl who think this is better than facial clothes. Not for ppl who are looking for a clarisomic dupe.

Technically, I won't buy this product again as it is battery-powered, but I will be buying refills sooo...

I'm a swimmer. I spend my entire life in chlorine pools, which are drying enough, but coupled with winter air leave my skin looking haggard. Recently, my issue has been tiny little bumps completely covering my face. It feels like chicken skin. A friend recommended this product for me so I bought it. After using it every day since Saturday (it is now Tuesday) my skin is slowly but surely smoothing out and becoming softer. The formula feels a little drying as I'm washing, but with moisturizer my skin feels soft and healthy, and the bumps are fading away.

I do wish it was more exfoliating so I might buy the microdermabrasion pads to refill. It does exfoliate, don't get me wrong -- I just wish it did more.

I would not buy this product again because it is battery operated. I really like how this massages your face when it exfoliates but it does not exfoliate enough but it cleared my skin mostly in one use. I love this I use the deep cleansing pads. I use it how you are supposed to use it but I might put some extra exfoliating stuff in it. It does not dry out my skin like other people say but I have normal skin. I have hormonal skin because I am a teen because of puberty. I recommend this for hormonal skin that was clear before. I really love Neutrogena. It helps my skin in so many ways. This is my favorite brand (I only use two brands Neutrogena and Maybelline). I really recommend this.

Okay so I won't REALLY buy this again, because it's one of those "one time buys". You buy the battery operated cleanser once, and you're done. You only have to buy the cleansing pads once in a while (for me every six months). Anyway, can I say that I LOVE this product? Since I have dry skin, I can only use it once a week (on Saturdays), but goes down waaayyy deep into your skin to cleanse! My skin is smooth and even toned every time I use this product! It can be used on any skin type, as long as you know how often to use it for your type. Overall worth it!

The Wave Sonic gets my face squeaky clean. I like that it spins; although I've never used the original Wave, I think that spinning and vibrating would work better than just vibrating. I like that it's waterproof, because let's face it... you're gonna get water all over it. The only thing I have a problem with is the cleanser used in the attachment pads. It seems to dry out my skin if I use it too much (so I only use it a few times a week). I've tried the exfoliating pads, and they didn't exfoliate as well as a facial scrub product. Since I don't like the cleanser in the regular attachement pads, I created an alternative: I used all the pads provided with Wave Sonic device, rinsed them out thoroughly and let them dry, then rubbed some of my personal favorite cleanser on them, and stored them for later use... works PERFECTLY! The reason I said I wouldn't buy this again is because I don't think I will need to; you just change the batteries when the old ones die, so I shouldn't need to purchase a new device for a very long time.

Side note: I was interested in purchasing the Neutrogena Microdermabrasion kit to get some extra exfoliation, but didn't want to pay the money when I already had the Wave Sonic... so I decided to just buy the microdermabrasion refill puffs and use them with my Wave Sonic. I want to let others know that the microdermabrasion refill puffs fit perfectly on the Wave Sonic. It's a cheaper alternative if you need one.

Love this especially because it is waterproof and able to be used in the shower :)

Please Note, I have the Wave Sonic, Which Spins, Not the original Wave, or Neutrogena Microdermabrasion machine. Both of the latter merely pulse, neither do a thing for me. However, I use the microdermabrasion pads with the Sonic Wave Machine. I use the technique suggested for use with the microdermabrasion machine which is to use it for two minutes to each facial area (and on my neck and upper chest, see below) The pads supplied with the Sonic Wave machine are just very drying soap and really do not do anything except dry my skin

It Left some Light Abrasions on my skin, when these peeled off, the skin underneath was smooth and clear as a baby's
...
I rate the Neutrogena WaveSonic a 5 but I use it a little differently. I do not use the cleansing pads for the wave, I bought the Neutrogena Microdermabrasion Puffs Refills (which fit on and can be used with the Wave Sonic which spins; therefore giving one more of a genuine microdermabrasion experience. I use Retin-A before I go to sleep. When I get up, I use the Wave with the microdermabrasion pad (lightly most days but a couple of times a week I use it as per directions with the microdermabrasion pads and use on each facial area and my neck and upper chest area for 1 -2 minutes).

After use, I rinse my face and neck/upper chest in cool water and use Aloette's Aloepure Sensitive Skin Toner. Next I use a good, fragrance free moisturizer with an spf of at least 25 during the day and a light tint spf foundation. Before I go to sleep, use Clarins Lait Demaquillant Velours Cleansings Milk or Burt's Bees Orange Essense Facial Cleanser.. I follow this with a mositurizer to the neck and around the eyes and the Retin-A.

I have noticed a much greater clarity to my skin and a lightening of the melasma that I have above my upper lip and on my cheeks.

I am very happy with this product. When used as above, I would highly recommend it.

I bought this at Walgreen's because it was on sale and I have seen plenty of commercials raving this product. This device vibrates along with an attachment of cleansing pads that are disposable to give your face a clean massage. Reviews has given this product positive comments. In addition, I am a huge fan of Neutrogena brand so I thought I would give this a try. This was a huge mistake.

About almost a year ago when I bought this, using the device and the cleansing pad broke me out and left me scars so deep that remnants of the scars still rest of my face today. A year later, I foolishly tried it again thinking I could be wrong and I ended up with rash-like red bumps all over my upper cheeks under my eye area immediately after the use. The rash is vanishing slowly with the help of aloe vera gel but I immediately trashed this product for good.

The product's vibration is so weak and I get more motion from my electric powered toothbrush. I might be allergic to the cleansing pad but I still give this product thumbs down overall.
