Lipstick, Powder ‘n Paint just posted a great review!

“I liked the feel of the cleansing pad vibrating on my face and my skin did feel smoother, refreshed and clean. The tool was a little noisy when it vibrated which did not bother me but might bug some people.”

Note: The original Dove SkinVitalizer introduced and sold January and February of 2006 was recalled.  The product was re-introduced January 2007.  The difference between the two versions?  Dove explains, “the first SkinVitalizer had mechanical hooks which grabbed the pillow and attached it to the device.  The new and improved SkinVitalizer uses a soft velcro-like material to attach the pillows onto the device.”  This means, if the cleansing pad comes loose, your skin will no longer be exposed to mechanical hooks rather, a velcro-like material that should be less harmful!
