Hi ppl! Today will be on the blackhead brush/cleaning brush :) Had been trying for a few months already and I'm here with a review! Blackheads, whiteheads are the things that I have on my face especially the forehead. It is super painful to remove during facial as I have a low pain threshold. So I always on a lookout to improve the whiteheads condition on my forehead and hairline.
The first time I was exposed to the brushes was at Westgate where there was sales at the atrium at the basement and the well-known Clarisonic. I walked past this booth selling manual cleaning brush and it looked like it can produce pretty fine foams. Looked interesting but the price was like $75!? So I give it a pass due to the prices. It's until recently I caught a Taiwanese video on blackhead brush and it looked pretty cool.
Video from Youtube (in Chinese and some ppl might feel her accent being too teh (act cute) but very informative)
So I went to get an Innisfree blackhead brush for $17

Okay, this brush feels pretty soft and light. The design allows cleaning at the side of the nose. The video shows that she create the foam first and applied to the face before using the brush but, for me, I use the brush to foam my cleanser. It is a very small brush hence it will be better for cleaning of small area. My hand felt so sore when using for the whole face. Hence,for whole face, I suggest to get a bigger brush.

I got this kind from Bugis street for $10? No brand though.
The bristles feel soft but since this is a no brand brush so I don't know whether the bristles is 0.07mm thick. Apparently 0.07mm is smaller than the size of a pore so the bristles are able to go into the pores and remove dirt. But I love this. So easy to clean my whole face compared to the innisfree one.
Usage : For myself, I will pump my cleanser on my pump and use the brush to create the foam and applied the foam on my face and start to brush it in circles, rotate clockwise and anti-clockwise. Brush it for 3-5 mins and wash my face with cold water. Recommended to use everyday.
Verdict: I feel that the Innisfree is better for small part cleaning while the bigger one is more suitable for the whole face. My forehead indeed feels less bumpy BUT my blackheads at my nose and cheek areas are still a lot. I saw ppl commenting that electric brushes are better, but more expensive. I will still purchase the brush and continue using it as it is quite comfortable to use.
Thank you for reading! Hope it helps :)
