Lately, I’ve been showing off this bright orange cleansing device on my social media accounts. During that time you’ve probably wondered what is that thing, and why am I using it. It’s the latest sonic cleansing device from Michael Todd, Soniclear Elite Tangerine Dream Cleansing System.

What is the Michael Todd Soniclear Elite Cleansing System?

 I’ve used sonic cleansing systems previously, but the Soniclear Elite is different. The brush heads are made with built-in antimicrobial protection to aid in the reduction of bacteria growth in the bristles between uses. It also has six total speeds distributed evenly across the two brush heads: a gentle one for the face, and one with a lot more power for the body.

• Clinically proven to reduce 99.9% of bacteria after 24 hours compared to untreated control 
• Waterproof with six (6) speed settings & 2 brush heads for customizable experience 
• Automatic timer standardizes cleansing experience for consistent results 
• Sonic powered sweeping motion stays within safe range of natural elasticity 
• Clinically validated to be up to six (6) times more effective than cleansing with hands alone 
• Replace antimicrobial brushes every 6 months versus the competitor’s every 3 months 

Features C-Boost Collagen Technology

• Clinically validated to improve the appearance of fine lines by 84% in 8 weeks 
• Clinically validated to improve skin firmness by 70% in 8 weeks 
•  Clinically validated to improve skin texture by 91% in 8 weeks 

 You’re probably wondering how well did the Michael Todd Soniclear Elite Tangerine Dream perform?

I’ve used both the facial and body brush heads, and of the two, the facial brush head is a personal favorite. At first, the Soniclear Elite brush head for the face was too abrasive for my not so sensitive skin; it hurt to use. Therefore, I requested a different brush head that worked much better!

With the new brush head, my skin didn’t hurt or feel raw post use. It was actually smoother, clearer, and a lot brighter, and of course, cleaner, thus allowing my other skincare products like serums and overnight masks to absorb much better. My favorite time to use the Soniclear Elite is after I remove my makeup in the evenings. The Soniclear Elite combined with my favorite cleanser does a good job of making sure any makeup residue my makeup remover didn’t catch is gone. Also, since this device has antimicrobial brush heads, I didn’t experience any breakouts post usage, which I would experience when using my other sonic cleansing device.

Now, let’s get the body brush for the Soniclear Elite. It worked well to help exfoliate and soften the skin on areas like my elbows, knees, and heels of the feet. I’ve tried using it on my entire body, but felt like it just took a lot of time, especially in the mornings; therefore, I suggest saving it for use in the evenings.

I loved that since owning the Soniclear Elite Tangerine Dream I haven’t had to charge it since the first charge. I mean, I don’t use it daily, but it is still impressive that after a few months, it is still holding charge. I use the nifty little charging cradle to hold

Overall, I am happy with the results achieved from using the Michael Todd Soniclear Elite Tangerine Dream.  If you don’t suffer from sensitive skin, and you’re looking for a skin-cleansing device with anti-microbial brush heads, multifunctional characteristics that help keep your skin on your face and body clearer, smoother, and cleaner, I suggest looking into the Soniclear Elite.

What do you think about the Soniclear Elite Tangerine Dream Cleansing System? 

Serums are a part of my daily skincare routine, for my face, that is. However, I’ve never used a serum for the body until I was offered, through Blog Meets Brand, to try out the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum.

Vaseline claims their Intensive Care™ Healing Serums are not just a regular body lotion. These serums combine the power of three unique, highly concentrated ingredients to moisturize and heal dry skin.

1. PPAR Activators help penetrate the skin to replenish lipids and moisturize to boost the skin’s natural renewal cycle.

2. Elastomers provide a premium sensory experience with ingredients that deliver a luxurious silky, smooth feel.

3. Micro-droplets of Vaseline® Jelly form a protective layer to prevent moisture loss

My thoughts

I haven’t tried Vaseline products in a while. I’m talking about years! To my surprise, the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum did some amazing things to help repair my skin from the damage done during the winter.

First, the light scent of amber and jasmine are what caught the attention of my senses when squeezing out the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum from the tube. The scent isn’t too heavy, and lasts for just the right amount of time on the skin. Plus, it doesn’t interfere with whatever I’m wearing for the day. I will also note that the fragrance is very feminine. My husband, who sometimes uses my lotions couldn’t bring himself to use it because he said, “I will smell like a woman.” But, that’s better for me. LOL.

The texture of the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum is that of a lightweight cream, instead of fluid-like, which most of the serums I’ve used are like. Even without it being like a typical serum, the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum is like luxury in a tube. I find that it moisturizes more like a balm without the heaviness and greasiness.

The new Vaseline® Intensive CareTM Healing #Serum is a new favorite body care item these days. It is lightweight and non-greasy. It goes on smooth and absorbs quickly. Plus, it has a nice light fragrance of rose and Amber with a hint of vanilla #free @vaselinebrand #spon #bblogger

After using the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum, both during the night and day, even after a week of use, my skin showed a noticeable difference. It looked healthy, hydrated, and didn’t itch from being dry.  After continued use, my skin is just amazing! I sometimes catch myself rubbing my legs because they’re so smooth and soft.

The squeeze tube packaging made it easy for me to get the very last drop of the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum out of the tube. Now, I unfortunately have to replace it.

I would recommend the Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum to anyone looking to heal dry skin, or maintain healthy, hydrated skin.

The 6.8 fl oz tube of Vaseline Intensive Care Advance Relief Healing Serum retails for $8.99 and can be found at your local drugstore.
