  Not quite what I was expecting, the head is a lot larger than I'd hoped and there was no description of head width. It's a bit too large to work effectively on my face. Also, box looks like it had been opened or dropped upon delivery

  Jury is Still Out

  The Vanity Planet, Exfoliating & Lifting Wand in white comes in a box with the unit, a USB charging cable, and a manual. Honestly, like I said in the title of this review, the jury is still out on what I think. So, going through the process from when I got this unit, clearly the first thing to do is get it charged up. You need to have some sort of ability to put the USB into a charging port and since I do this in my bathroom. electric plug in with a USB port works best for me. The user manual states that it takes 2 hours to charge and then the charge should last for 1 hour and 20 minutes, but my experience does not bear that out. I notice that when I put the scrubber away and then come back to it the next day that the charge must have dissipated and when I press the on/off button there is no response That is a concern of mine that I might have a bad unit, but I simply do not know. I imagine the best thing for me to do is call the company and try to get customer service to give me an opinion, but I cannot find that anywhere in their user manual or on the box that it comes in, which is what I will try to do when i have time to do so. The manual that came with the unit is complete and very helpful, no short cuts there. So, this wand has 3 different levels of service - to cleanse, which is to exfoliate, to moisturize, which is to apply serums, lotion, and potion to your face, and lift, which is to eradicate fine lines and wrinkles. Right off the bat, in my opinion, the evaluation period has not been long enough to determine the efficacy of the lift function. I will say that the most zing is using this to cleanse, and then a mid amount of zing to moisturize, and the least amount of zing to lift. I am a 62 year old female with very well-taken car of skin, I have not abused it over the years with sun exposure , etc. When I use the cleanse feature, I do feel that my skin feels plumper and that it has gotten some sort of workout with this ultrasonic scrubber. That feeling is good because it lets me know that my face did get exercised. I did have some sort of small pore blockage, blackhead, right where my skin meets my upper lip on the right side and yesterday I went through the full gambit of functions to work on that area. I must have brought it to a head and/or loosened it up because with a little bit of squeezing this morning, I was able to get the yuck out of that pore. Tailor your routine on page 11 of the user manual says that we can use all three levels at one sitting, but to not use it more than 2 minutes on any of the settings. It also states to incorporate its use into our routine about 1 or 2 times per week depending on the user's skin sensitivity. For that reason, I cannot honestly state whether or not I find this unit beneficial to purchase.

  Invisible benefits?

  • Tech Insider Network Member

  My skin type is sensitive, mostly normal with a little oil on my nose and I experience occasional spots/pimples. After using this Vanity Planet Ultrasonic Scrubber 3 times, I haven’t noticed any major benefits. I got this product to enhance my skincare routine, not to fix anything, but to add a layer of possible benefits to my existing routine (cleanse, toner, serum, moisturize). I found this wand or scrubber to be a bit loud because I’m very sensitive to high frequencies. While this product isn’t particularly loud while holding it away from the skin, it was loud in the sense that I could hear the higher vibrations when using this wand on my forehead or on my cheekbones moving toward my ears. CLEANSE MODE (also referred to as Exfoliate mode): The manual states to prep the skin by washing your face to remove makeup or surface-layer debris. I followed these instructions before trying this mode with damp skin, moisturized skin, and with cleansing gel. With damp skin, I felt like my face wasn’t slick enough for the wand to glide, so I didn’t like this method. Moisturized skin was probably the best way to go because the wand glides easily. I also tried a third time with a layer of cleansing gel on my face but it dried pretty quick so I either had to re-apply the gel in the areas I was working or I had to apply water to continue getting a good glide. The cleanse mode overall didn’t exfoliate much of anything, even around my nose which is where I have a good amount of blackheads. I’m not sure if it’s not exfoliating because my skin is already prepped and clean or if it’s just not working. MOISTURIZE MODE: For all I know, the moisturize mode is doing its job but I can’t tell because it’s virtually invisible. This mode is supposed to promote nutrient absorption and better circulation from the supersonic vibrations. It’s advised to do this mode with a serum or moisturizer so I tried this mode with both an HA serum and another time with moisturizer. I can only hope/trust it’s doing its job. LIFT MODE: This mode is advertised to be used for fine lines and wrinkles. I do have a few fine lines between my brows and smile lines, but I don’t expect to see immediate results. Skin will be skin and I’m generally not worried about wrinkles anyway. I was trying to follow the instructions as closely as possible but was confused on when I could apply my skincare. The manual says I can use the wand with a clean but damp or moisturized face and that once I’m done with the wand, I can then continue my skincare and apply toners. This is where my confusion comes in. I’ve always been taught that toners come first before serums and moisturizers. So if I’m using the wand with a moisturized face, why would I put toner on afterwards? I ended up trying the wand in multiple stages of my skincare, whether I was exfoliating with a cleanser gel, or using the moisturize mode with a serum or cream. When I used the cleanse mode with a moisturized face I was essentially scraping off the cream, so I felt the need to re-apply moisturizer for the next mode. I’ll continue to give this product a chance, but so far I’m not seeing any noticeable changes in my skin or benefits other than a neat little massage. It’s certainly not hurting my routine, but it is making it longer. I’m left wondering if the supersonic vibrations really are promoting nutrient absorption or helping with fine lines. I hope that I see benefits in the long run and that 3 uses just isn’t enough to see changes yet.
