Scores: Foreo Luna 4 Facial Cleansing Brush 8.5/10 · Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush 6.5/10

The Foreo Luna 4 is better for sensitive skin and long-term hygiene — silicone doesn't harbor bacteria the way bristles do, and a single charge lasts a year. The Clinique Sonic is a capable, affordable brush that cleans effectively, especially for oily or congested skin. But if you're choosing once and keeping it, the Foreo is the smarter investment.
