Ultrasonic Skin Spatula.
A vibrating metal spatula, used wet, to help shift surface oil and debris.
A rechargeable spatula that vibrates at high frequency and is used with water or cleanser to help lift surface oil, dead cells and loosened debris off the skin. White or Champagne Gold. It works on the surface rather than inside a pore, it is not a clinical facial, and using it daily is how people damage their skin barrier. Read the safety section before the first use.
A spatula is a step, not a routine. It goes between cleansing and moisturising, on wet skin, once or twice a week — and everything else in the routine stays as it was. What it replaces is nothing: not your cleanser, not your moisturiser, not sun protection, and not a facial with someone trained to look at your skin. What it adds is a pass over the T-zone or the areas that concern you, shifting what is sitting on the surface that a face cloth leaves behind. That is a small, real addition rather than a new regimen.
Run a vibrating blade across wet skin and it helps shift what is sitting on the surface — excess oil, loosened dead cells, cleanser residue. Used along the grain with light pressure, plenty of people find a blackhead or two comes away and the skin feels cleaner than washing alone. That is real, and it is the whole of the claim. It does not reach "deep within the pore", it does not remove a blackhead that is not ready to come, and it is not the same as a professional facial.
A spatula is satisfying, and that is the problem. Removing surface oil every day strips the barrier that keeps water in and irritants out — and the result is skin that is tight, flaky, stinging and somehow oilier, which people then try to fix with more cleaning. Once or twice a week, light pressure, and never on skin that is already irritated. If your skin is stinging or flaking, the answer is fewer uses rather than more.
This is rechargeable and it is designed to be used with water, which is a combination worth thinking about before the first use. Charge it dry, away from water, and never charge it in a bathroom or with wet hands. It sits against your face — clean the blade before and after every use, and do not share it. Do not use it over the eyes, on the lips, or on any broken skin. See the safety section for the skin conditions that rule it out.
A rechargeable vibrating spatula used on wet skin to help shift surface oil and debris.
Patch test it before your first proper use. Run it briefly on your jaw or the inside of your forearm, then wait a day before doing your whole face — a device that removes surface oil can leave skin tight and stinging within hours, and it is far easier to find that out on a jawline than on your cheeks. Then keep it to once or twice a week on wet skin with light pressure, and rinse and moisturise afterwards, because skin that has just had its surface oil removed needs the barrier put back. If you are on prescription skincare — retinoids, acids, benzoyl peroxide — be cautious: that skin is more fragile and this device on top of it is a common route to a damaged barrier.

High-frequency vibration, used wet, two colours — a surface-cleaning tool that works, and that most people use far too often.
1 × Ultrasonic Skin Spatula. A cosmetic device — not a medical device.
Adults with healthy, unbroken skin who want help shifting surface oil and debris once or twice a week, and who will keep the pressure light. Not for anyone with the conditions listed in the safety section, not for children, and not a treatment for acne or any skin condition.
- Do not use it on active acne, pustules, cysts or any spot that is broken or weeping. Dragging a blade across inflamed skin spreads irritation and can make scarring worse. If your concern is acne, this is not the tool for it.
- Do not use it on skin that is already irritated, stinging, sunburnt, windburnt, peeling or freshly exfoliated. Wait until it has settled.
- Avoid cold sores, cuts, grazes, moles and any raised or changing lesion. Leave those alone entirely, and if a mole has changed, that is a doctor's appointment rather than a skincare decision.
- Do not use it over the eyes, eyelids, lips or the front of the neck, and do not use it on the throat.
- Do not use it if you have rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis or any diagnosed skin condition without asking a dermatologist first. A device that strips surface oil will aggravate most of these.
- Do not use it if you have a pacemaker or any other implanted electronic device. This one puts a vibrating electrical device directly against your skin and passes it over your face; ask the clinician who manages the device before using it.
- Not for children or teenagers, and not on anyone who cannot tell you whether it is uncomfortable.
- If you are using prescription skincare — retinoids, tretinoin, acids, benzoyl peroxide — be very cautious. Skin on those treatments is more fragile, and this device on top of them is a common route to a damaged barrier.
- Do not use it before or immediately after a professional facial, peel, wax or laser treatment. Leave the skin alone for the period the practitioner tells you.
- Patch test on your jaw or forearm first, and wait a day before doing a full face.
- Stop immediately if your skin becomes red, sore, tight, flaky or stings. That is barrier irritation, and the response is to stop using it and let the skin recover — not to use it more gently next time straight away.
- This is a cosmetic device, not a medical device, and it does not treat acne, rosacea or any skin condition.
- Charge it dry, away from the basin, the bath and the shower. It is a device you use with water and a device with a battery in it, so those two facts belong in different rooms.
- Never charge it with wet hands, and never plug it in while it or your hands are still wet from use.
- Do not leave it on charge overnight, or on a soft surface where heat cannot escape — a towel, a bath mat or a bed.
- Check that the charging port is completely dry before plugging in. On a device used wet, a damp port is the failure that matters.
- Unplug it once charged. Do not leave it permanently on a lead beside the basin.
- Check the cable before each charge and do not use a damaged one or a visibly damaged adapter.
- Stop using it if it becomes warm, if the battery drains much faster than it did, or if it smells of burning. Do not open the handle to look — a battery in a sealed handle is not something to investigate at home.
- Do not submerge it, and do not hold the handle under the tap. The manufacturer does not publish a water resistance rating for this device, so the safe assumption is that it is not waterproof — wet the skin, not the device.
- If it has been dropped into water, stop using it and let it dry completely, then test it away from your face before using it again.
- Wet your skin first, or work over a cleanser. The vibration needs a film of water to move along — on dry skin it drags and does nothing useful.
- Use light pressure only. The device does the work; pressing down does not clean deeper, it just irritates the skin and can leave marks. If the skin is being pulled, you are pushing too hard.
- Keep it moving. Do not hold it on one spot — a few seconds per area, moving steadily.
- Work in one direction, with the flat edge angled slightly towards the skin. Going back and forth over the same patch is not more effective and is more irritating.
- Start with one short pass over the T-zone or the areas that concern you, not the whole face, until you know how your skin responds.
- Once or twice a week at most. This is the instruction most people need: it is not a daily device.
- Rinse your face afterwards and moisturise. Skin that has just had surface oil removed needs the barrier put back.
- Do not combine it with other exfoliation on the same day — no acids, scrubs or retinoids in the same routine.
- If you are not seeing a difference after a few weeks, that is information. More frequent use is not the answer to a device that is not doing much for you.
- Clean the blade before and after every use. It has been against your skin and in water, and it goes back against your skin next time.
- Wipe the blade with a clean cloth or an alcohol wipe, and dry it. Do not leave residue, cleanser or water on it between uses.
- Do not put the handle in water or under a running tap. Clean the blade, not the body of the device.
- Do not share it. It is a skin-contact device used on potentially broken skin. One device, one person — and replace it rather than passing it on.
- Do not use it if the blade is chipped, bent or corroded, and do not use it if the surface has become rough. A damaged metal edge and a moving hand are how skin gets cut.
- Dry it fully before storing it, and store it somewhere dry rather than in a closed bathroom cabinet where it stays damp.
- Keep it out of reach of children, and do not leave it in the shower.
- Check the blade is clean and intact before each use, which is the whole of the maintenance on this device.
- Replace it when it stops holding a charge or the blade is damaged. Do not attempt to open or repair the handle.
