We tested LUNA fofo, Foreo's connected cleansing brush

The principle.

At first glance, LUNA fofo looks like a classic cleansing brush:with its silicone nubs and 8,000 pulsations per minute, it promises to cleanse the skin much more effectively than manual cleansing, while respecting. Yes but now, LUNA fofo is a connected brush. Thanks to sensors, it analyzes the condition of the skin and measures its level of hydration in order to determine the cleansing routine to adopt.

We tested.

To be able to use the connected functionality, you must download the FOREO application (free on Google Play and AppStore) and install it. Then it's super simple:a long press on the button at the back of the brush activates the bluetooth of the brush and connects it to the phone. We then follow the measurement instructions (right cheek, left cheek, forehead and nose) and… tadaaaaa! Here is the skin diagnosis that is displayed and gives us the score of our skin (out of 100), its level of hydration and its age. Then we just have to clean the skin as with a classic brush and repeat the test 2 weeks later (or before, if we travel to a country that has really different climatic conditions for example). Cleaning is quick and efficient and using the app is super easy.

Verdict.

Well, a score of 50/100 and skin that is +2 years old compared to the real age, it hurts a little... but it motivates to take more care of it (come on, we've got the serums and moisturizing masks !). And we have to admit that the playfulness of live diagnosis also motivated us to use the brush more often. After 2 weeks of (almost) daily use, we redid the test and… the skin was only a year older than the reality, that’s already it! The brush itself is really soft on the skin (perhaps a little too soft if you are used to using classic brushes with bristles rather than silicone bristles) and we have nothing to complain about in terms of cleansing:the skin is completely clean. The battery lasts 400 uses. In summary, LUNA fofo is an effective brush and the connected side brings a real plus (and what about its Barbapapa look?!). In comparison with other brushes on the market (which do not offer the diagnostic option), its price is quite low. An idea to put on our list to Santa Claus?

LUNA fofo, Foreo, €89.
