I felt like the luckiest person in the world last month when I received a package from my lovely friend Debra-Bow… this lovely lady needs no introduction you almost certainly know who she is.
In this package was some Kiss nails, a highlighter and shockingly the No7 Cleansing brush. We have had many a conversation on what’s app… and we got talking about cleansing brushes. I used to have the Clarisonic but gave it to a friend after it just not working for me. I tried, oh I tried, it worked for awhile, then it just made me so red I looked like I had fallen asleep in the garden with no SPF on. Not good. I was a little scared to use the No7 brush BUT.. this is what I thought.
First of, I love it’s battery powered, no charging cables! Simple. It’s light and the replacement brush heads are super cheap too (two heads for £8…. bargain!!). The brush head has long ish bristles and are so soft on the skin.
After first use I was hooked, I tried it with a few different cleansers and loved it with my C&P but after a trip to Boots I bought the Tea Tree Witch Hazel and active Charcoal wash, which I have done a post on. Well it was a game changer, massage the cleanser in, wet the brush and go in circular motions around my face. Wow!
The brush has two speeds, push the button once and it’s a slowish speed, push again and it speeds up. I like it on the first setting as I find on the fastest one water and cleanser go flying off everywhere haha.
My skin feels so soft and smooth every time I use this. I was using the charcoal cleanser with the brush after my first cleanse in the evening every day, however, my skin couldn’t handle it everyday so I use it minimum once a week usually on a Sunday for a deep clean and during the week if I have worn heavier make up.
When I first started using the brush I did have a breakout but I think was more hormonal. The breakout cleared quickly due to really deep cleansing my skin.
If you’re thinking of getting a face brush of some kind I highly recommend this brush being your first stop, as I think it’ll be your only stop and you’ll be saving the pennies. I wish I got this brush first instead of the Clarisonic.

I really need to try the wash you’ve mentioned! I don’t mind brushes like this but they don’t do very much for me because I rarely get spots at all x

Ooh I didn’t know No7 did a brush! I’ll definitely have to look into it more, it definitely sounds like it’s a great purchase. I always wanted to try the Clarisonic but I was worried about spending all that money and not liking it

How sweet of Debs to send you this cleansing brush, it sounds way better than the Clairsonic alternative! I agree with you on the speed settings, the fastest ones can make you feel like you’re melting your face off haha! 😂 I have a SENSSE facial brush and I really love it, glad you’ve found one that works for you!

I think I might need to re-try one of these cleansing brushes. I tried one years ago but it didn’t agree with my skin. Like you, I’d probably try to use it minimally! Great review Lucy!
