Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser

If battery-operated devices are essential to your life (we mean your toothbrush!) add one more to the list: Neutrogena’s Wave Power Cleanser ($24.90). It’s a facial cleanser that comes in the form of a cute bright-pink gadget designed to fit ergonomically into the palm of your hand (and not anywhere else…) Attach the disposable foaming pad to the head of the power cleanser, hold it under running water to activate the cleansing pad, then switch it on and gently massage over your face, avoiding the eye area. The tingly cool foam penetrates deep into your pores while the gentle vibrating motion (remember, this is for your face!) stimulates the skin’s surface to remove dirt, oil and make-up – supposedly up to ten times deeper than traditional cleansers. The starter kit includes the power cleanser applicator, a two-week supply of predosed, single-use pads and one AA battery. Refills are priced at $13.20 for a 30- day supply.

Available at selected pharmacies.
