FOREO LUNA™ 3 Review by Dermatologist Dr. Costi
Dr. Costi is a passionate young doctor who honed his expertise in cosmetic and surgical dermatology expertise at some of the world's most prestigious medical institutions. Harvard School of Medicine, Yale Medical School, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medical School, and Urticaria and Skin Allergy Clinic's Charite have left this Lebanese-born doctor at the top of his field and beloved by patients for his warm honesty, professionalism, and discrete approaches to anti-aging and skin issues, using technologies and anti-aging treatments tailored to each individual for a natural youthful look of someone who takes good care of themselves. But before we dive into Dr.Costi's expert FOREO LUNA™ 3 review, here are some facts on the world's favorite facial cleansing brush.
What is LUNA™ 3?
Named after the material used (the same one that Neil Armstrong's Moon boots), LUNA™ facial cleansing brush is a sleek, sophisticated device with a fully waterproof design. What started in Chinese and Asian communities quickly wild-fired its way through the globe. LUNA™ has become the essential part of daily skincare routines for millions of fans over 6 continents, and there are still people using their first LUNA™ from over a decade ago.
The ergonomically shaped cleansing and massaging facial brush features T-Sonic™ pulsations tech and a body and bristles created of a super-soft, nonabrasive, ultra-hygienic silicone, making LUNA™ quick-drying and bacteria-resistant. It removes impurities trapped deep within your pores in one minute while boosting circulation for a healthy glow; plus, you will never ever need a brush replacement.
The massage ridges at the back channel lower-frequency pulses through the skin to energize and firm the face. Due to a specific pattern of microscopic bristles called the "Lotus effect" (that keeps lotus leaves perfectly clean in the swamp), dirt or grime cannot stick to and transfer to your skin.

Dr. Costi's FOREO LUNA™ 3 dermatologist review
Recently, I've discovered a new product, FOREO LUNA™ 3 facial cleansing massager. Not only does it drift from the traditional ways to wash your skin, but it also includes several additional components, such as the firming facial massage and T-sonic pulsations. These features are all moderated by the FOREO application, making it such a unique product and giving you optimal results when washing your face. As a medical professional, I will be sharing with you some of the main features that made me fall in love with the device in this FOREO LUNA™ 3 review - dermatologist style.
Silicone Material
Using silicone material instead of latex as a main component is great since many people have allergies to latex. Silicone is less prone to catching bacteria, making the device healthy and bacteria-free. Also, the use of silicone is beneficial as it has a smooth texture, allowing it to be soft on the skin and preventing the development of allergies. This allows your cleansing routine to be effective because it gets rid of all the impurities, excessive oils, and dead cells in the pores.
App control
LUNA™ 3 is connected to the FOREO application. The application is crucial to washing your skin correctly. The app syncs to the device and sends an order to begin the selected feature - T-Sonic™ pulsations for a cleansing mode or a firming massage. It also allows you to control the duration of the face wash routine, as it shouldn't exceed 1 minute to keep the routine efficient and prevent other skin problems from arising. It also gives a lot of insight to ensure it is being applied the correct way to maintain healthy-looking skin and prevent early signs of aging.
T-Sonic™ pulsations
The second feature is FOREO's patented T-Sonic™ pulsations. This feature is essential for deep cleaning the pores. It is used only for 60 seconds, not more, in order to keep the barrier intact and moisture in the skin without making it sensitive to over-exfoliating. Also, the pulsations help the dead cells move to the surface of your skin to get rid of the skin impurities. This reduces the likelihood of blackheads and whiteheads appearing, as when you wash your face the regular way, it is hard to ensure we are getting rid of the dirt in the pores, leading to the skin losing its glow.
Firming Massage
The third and one of the most amazing features I personally found in the LUNA™ 3 is the firming face massage. Once fresh & clean, flip your waterproof LUNA™ 3 for a firming massage, channeling lower-frequency pulsations deeper into the skin for a lasting firming effect. What makes this feature amazing is that it not only relaxes the muscles but also increases the blood and oxygen flow in your skin. Usually, people disregard massages and consider them a special treat, although it is something we should continuously include in our skincare regime to keep our skin tight, youthful, and glowing. Using the massage feature loosens up the muscles of your face, reduces wrinkles, and eventually slows down the aging process.
My personal experiences
I've been using the LUNA™ 3 for more than 2 months now, and the difference in my skin is really noticeable. The T-Sonic™ pulsations really get the blood flowing in your skin and give you a deeper clean. After just a few uses, I felt my skin appear perkier, softer, and clearer. I had an overall boost in my skincare absorption and got better results from my daily moisturizers and creams after washing with the LUNA™ 3 smart facial massager. If you are not using FOREO LUNA™ 3, I encourage you to start using it. Just two minutes of guided routines will guarantee that you wash your face in a proper way to maintain healthy, glowing, and younger-looking skin effortlessly!
