Who does not want a budget friendly, one step up ahead to (manual) skincare routine , more than just cleansing, spa like treatment at home??? Yes! everyone wants it.
Olay Pro-X Microdermabrasion Plus Advanced Cleansing System is divided into two main portions:
1- Cleansing &
2- Microdermabrasion
We are all familiar with cleansing, lets understand what is microdermbrasion? Microdermabrasion is a technique which involves the use of tiny crystals to gently sand your skin, removing the outer most layer containing dead cells & improve any irregularities in your skin's surface making it appear more even-toned & rejuvenated.
Olay Pro-X Microdermabrasion Plus Advanced Cleansing System
Olay Pro-X Microdermabrasion Plus Advanced Cleansing System is specially designed for exfoliation & cleansing purpose. Exfoliation is a critical step for revealing brighter, more radiant skin. It does not only exfoliates, but also helps achieving visibly improved texture and a more even skin tone through microdermabrasion.
The ProX by Olay Microdermabrasion Plus Advanced Cleansing System offers three speed settings to customize your skincare regimen every day. Use the slower speed for daily gentle cleansing, or switch to the daily deep cleansing speed for a deep clean. Use the microdermabrasion setting with the microdermabrasion foam head and Thermal Crystal Polisher up to twice a week on non-consecutive days. You’ll experience exfoliation 700% better than our scrub alone for visibly brighter, more even skin tone.

I was searching for a good cleanser and fortunately I landedon Olay Pro-X Microdermabrasion Plus Advanced Cleansing System. Seriously, I have heard of electronic cleansers but never thought of buying one as they are usually pricey to be honest. Well, after lots of research, I decided to purchase it. (It's purchase history is quite informative, I will explain it later).
Olay Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System
After receiving my package, I unboxed it and got really impressed with the product and accessories it comes with, I started using it and analyzed the results. lets first talk about the cleansing system with brush head. The round white brush it comes with has very soft bristles which do not feel harsh on skin at all. After the first use of this beauty with exfoliating renewal cleanser, I felt it really cleansed well & deep, the clean skin pores were quite visible.
The most accurate way to understand it's working is to take off the hardcore makeup from the face. First work with oil based cleanser on your skin with this rotating brush to loosen up the makeup and then use your regular face wash to to further clean the pores and remove the oil based cleanser, it will dig the tinniest particle of the makeup & any impurity out of your skin and the residues could easily be seen on the brush in the form of non-white-colored fizz, trust me I have tried it. Try switching between the speed 1-2-3 which suits you the best. I personally prefer working with 2 & 3. The highest speed might not suit a sensitive skin so be gentle and stick to speed 1. Less than a pea-sized quantity of exfoliating cleanser would go long way as it would produce slight lather in contact with water.The only thing which I dint like is that how long it should be used on the skin? It wasn't mentioned on the description paper. I think 30 seconds would be enough to do the whole job or when you get the feeling that it has cleansed efficaciously.
I have been using the brush daily with its own cleansing cream, also with my everyday regular face wash. It works best both ways, it is not necessary to use just Olay scrub or creams, any product would work with it. The purpose is to reach out to very inside of the pores to clean them where hands cannot reach and this brush does quite efficiently! It did not breakout my skin I have experienced improved skin texture and a healthy glow on my skin and definitely a clean skin is a healthy looking skin for sure!
Olay Microdermabrasion System
Now lets talk about microdermabrasion system, it gives you the vivid results by removing the lifeless skin layer. I used thermal crystal polisher on foam head and exfoliated my skin, crystal polisher has tiny rough grains that helps removing the dead cells. The foam head is very very soft. Work out with the spinning speed that is best for you. I prefer using it twice a week or sometimes once a week as it can cause irritation and too much exfoliation can damage your skin.
Besides crystal polisher, any scrub or exfoliating cream would work with it . Just pick up the scrub according to your skin type & use with foam head. It really helped remove the dull patches on my facial skin and I experienced improved skin texture and a more even-toned skin.
Here is the short tutorial on how to use it
(I am just explaining how to use Exfoliating Renewal Cleanser with brush head, Thermal Crystal Polisher with foam head can be used the same way as it is.)
Overall I am in love with this product! Just give it a try and experience it. Olay suggests to replace the brush head after 3 months for best results. Replacement for brush head ( I have not seen any for foam head) and refills for cleanser & polisher are easily available in the market.
This product of Olay is considered to be the cheaper version of Clarisonic Cleansing System and has price range of 200$-250$, 22,000-30,000PKR & 600-900SAR. I got this stunner from amazon for 29.97$ along with 02 replacements of brush heads for 8.44$ (no shipping charges were charged). Yes it is cheaper as compared to the one available in the market! Here in KSA, only the cleansing system is available for 125SAR & in Pakistan for 4,800rs. It does not include any microdermabrasion system.
