Sometime last year I posted here on the blog about the Michael Todd Soniclear and recently Michael Todd Soniclear Elite was released. Available in fun colors and designs, the Soniclear Elite is the “Game Changer” for sensitive skin. I have been using the original Soniclear cleansing brush on my body and was super excited to have been given the opportunity to review the newer version. Today I will share my thoughts with you on the Lavender Lust Soniclear Elite from Michael Todd.
Let’s face it – cleaner skin begins with a cleaner brush and one of the reasons why I enjoy the Soniclear Elite. With my sensitive skin and Eczema flare ups – I need to ensure that I am using an exfoliating and cleansing tool that is not only gentle, but also helps protect against microbial contamination. While my skin is too sensitive to use the Soniclear Elite daily – I still know that I will get a good clean and scrub-a-dub when I need it and once a week works well in combination with my favorite skin care products. The complete sonic powered cleansing system has a built in protection against microbial contamination and a C-Boost Collagen Technology. The optional collagen boosting operating mode helps to deliver pulsating massage to assist in stimulating collagen & elastin production for a more youthful looking skin.
What I love about the Michael Todd Soniclears (Elite included) is that they can be used for the body or face with interchangeable heads that you can use for different sections whether you choose for body or face. Each kit comes with a Soniclear Elite Device with C-Boost, Charging Cradle, 1 Facial Brush head with cover, 1 body brush head with cover and your charging cord so you have everything you need to get started. The Soniclear Elite can be used on all skin types, though I will say that your usage depends on your sensitivities.

The Soniclear has a built in LIFE antimicrobial product protection that helps to keep the brushes cleaner and longer – the first brush of its kind in the industry. Other traditional sonic cleansing systems don’t provide this level of protection which is why I’m a huge supporter of the product and brand. I use my Soniclear Elite a few times a week on my body and face (switching out the brush heads as needed) and my Foreo Luna in the interim. Each work well in my skin care regimen and work together to help keep my skin clean and clear. Soniclear has an advanced sonic wave technology that cleanses the skin gently yet thoroughly with more than 18,000 micro-massage movements per minute, offering six cleansing speeds and two operating modes that let you customize your cleansing experience to your skin’s specific concerns.
Each Soniclear has set in its handle soft touch buttons that make control and power on/off functions easy. The unit itself is completely waterproof so I love that I can use it in the shower or tub without worrying about issues of it damaging or otherwise and I especially love that when using on my body, I don’t have to worry about it breaking down on me. The unit has soft, rubberized hand grips with make it easy to hold – even with soapy/slippery hands and the large body brush works so well in getting in all the places to scrub my body clean.
Like with any type of electrical unit or device, you will need to charge your unit completely for the first 24 hours prior to use. After using the brush heads, be sure to store them in their included cover to keep them clean while not in use.
If you use cleansing tools to remove your makeup for that “squeaky clean” you will enjoy this particular product. I hardly use face or foundation products, but I have used this to remove face makeup when I was wearing it and it removed the product easily and left my skin feeling really clean and exfoliated. What I love is that when cleaning the brush head after removing dark face products or makeup – the brush head gets really clean. With a little bit of my face cleanser, I clean the brush head with ease leaving it white and pretty again – unlike other products similar that leave that funky yuck of a residue behind. Of course, if you are someone that uses foundation daily – I’m not sure if it will clean just as well… but I always feel like my brush head is very clean for my next use – which is a huge plus for me. Who wants to put funky grime on their face anyway? Certainly not me!
I love the Soniclear Elite as much as I did the original Soniclear – but just as the first, I am unable to use it daily due to my sensitive skin or my Eczema will flare up or my skin will have a bad reaction. I don’t necessarily attest this to the product itself as any of my cleansing tools cannot be used daily even if meant specifically for skin sensitivity. It is an added bonus that it has a great antimicrobial benefits as other cleansing brushes did not and because of this, the germ-a-phobe in me didn’t like those. I particularly like to use this product on my body because it works well for what I need and after shopping the Michael Todd site, I’m looking forward to picking up all kinds of attachments and add-ons to make this product more useful and beneficial for my needs.
I have tried many cleansing brushes over the last few years and this is still one of my favorites. What about you? What do you currently use to scrub-a-dub for a squeaky clean? To find out more about the Soniclear Elite or other Michael Todd products – visit: http://www.michaeltoddusa.com/

I really love my Soniclear Elite. I do use foundation and while I normally use a makeup remover wipe before cleansing, I have removed it with my Soniclear. The brush comes squeaky clean with some hand soap, I suds it up well and rinse and there is no nasty gunk or staining left behind.
Isn’t that just awesome girl? I love love that I can clean my brush head and it doesn’t leave that funky stain behind like the other brand that caused my skin to have the worst flare ups because they just were not as clean on the brush. I love that and I’m glad that it does constantly get clean with continuous use of foundation – I only was able to test the foundation/cc cream part a few times but it cleans so nicely with anything else and no funk left. :DD
Oh, it’s crucial! I don’t DO funky brushes! Just the thought of it… *shudder* No.
I love my soniclear. I keep my regular one in the shower.
This looks great! I’ve never tried anything from Michael Todd before. I used to have a Clarisonic, but I didn’t like how harsh it was for my skin. Now I just use a konjac sponge.
I love Konjac sponges – I use those all the time too 😉
I wish they’d come out with a gentler brush head. I can only use mine once a week as well and I would love to use it more often. I love the C-Boost!
I love the brush tools. So awesome for exfoliating. Great review!
I’ve never tried this but I definitely need to!
I love how well you say it cleans off! I also hate leftover grime on any brushes or cleaning tools!
I’ve seen a few reviews on this, and it sounds really great. I love the c-booster option, one of these days I’ll get my hands on a cleansing brush!
I love that these double as a body brush- such good bang for buck!
I love mine, especially the body brush.
I use the same two cleansing tools. I like the variety and I don’t want to use the Soniclear daily on my face.
This is on my list of must-have soon!!! I like the idea of body brush
I’ve only heard good things about this brush!
This is such a great brush! And I love the color.
I love sonic cleansing brushes, and this one sounds really nice, especially because of the built-in antimicrobial technology.
It does stay really clean, doesn’t it? Even when I use it with the Michael Todd Charcoal cleanser, it comes out squeeky clean!
I love the collagen massage aspect of the brush! And the antimicrobial. It always makes me feel safer lol. Your pics are GORGEOUS girl!!
That is such an interesting concept – a collagen massage brush! I think Michael Todd has the right idea here 😉
I used mine for a giveaway, but I really wanted to see what that C-Boost was all about. I love my original Soniclear!
This sounds amazing, and I definitely want to try it!
This brush sounds pretty amazing. I love that the body brush isn’t an extra purchase.
It’s amazing how much of a difference using a cleansing brush makes. This Michael Todd one sounds great.
