Quick Summary of Key Points
- Pick the LUNA 3 if you want up to 650 uses from one charge.
- Use the app or manual mode to control 16 intensity levels and massage.
- Expect longer, softer silicone touchpoints for a more effective, gentle cleanse.
- Keep it in the shower: waterproof, antibacterial silicone makes daily use hygienic.
Read on to see whether the LUNA 3 is worth upgrading from the LUNA 2, how its longer touchpoints and app features change daily cleansing, and what skin types will get the biggest benefit, including notes on use with rosacea and keeping the device hygienic in the shower.
I've been using my FOREO LUNA 2 for years, and in that time, I've only had to charge it once. Yep, once. But insane (almost impossible?) battery life isn't the only thing that makes this device a staple in my shower - it keeps my skin clean AF too.
But what brings me here is actually the LUNA 3. When I saw there was going to be an upgrade to my trusty LUNA 2, I wondered exactly what would be changing (I mean, surely that battery life can't get any better?)
I've Never Used A FOREO Before, What Does It Do?
For those of you who are already cleansing device converts, you can skip this part, but if you've been pondering the benefits of adding a cleansing device into your routine, keep reading.
FOREO's range of cleansing devices (including my beloved LUNA 2) are designed to deeply cleanse away impurities including makeup, oil and dirt using sonic pulsations paired with gentle silicone bristles.

I've Already Got The LUNA 2 - What's Changed?
You're not gonna believe it, the battery is even better. Apple need to learn something from these guys, honestly. You'll get up to 650 uses out of a single charge, compared to an already staggering 450 uses from the LUNA 2. But that't not all:
- The LUNA 3 can now be powered by the FOREO app (as well as used manually)
- It features longer & softer touchpoints (bristles) for a more effective cleanse
- It has 16 power levels (compared to 12) so you can customise your routine
- There are firming massage capabilities which you can control from the app
- Still offers 8,000 T-Sonic pulsations per minute for the ultimate cleanse
Best thing I never knew I needed
Grace
I was really hesitant to purchase one of these, as it seemed a lot of money to spend on something I wasn't sure would even do anything. However, after reading and watching a lot of reviews and comparisons with other facial cleansing brushes, I bit the bullet and bought this, and I'm so glad I did.
