FOREO LUNA 4 review: I tried the facial cleansing and firming device everyone’s talking about

I'm always interested in products that promise to make my skincare routine feel a little more luxurious, especially when they combine practical benefits with a bit of pampering. Cleansing is one of those everyday steps that is easy to rush through, so I was keen to try the FOREO LUNA 4, a smart facial cleansing and firming massage device designed to give your skin a deeper clean while making the process feel more like a treatment.

The LUNA 4 combines a silicone cleansing brush with T-Sonic pulsations and a separate firming massage function. It offers three cleansing modes, Gentle, Regular and Deep, alongside 16 adjustable intensity levels, so you can tailor the experience to your preferences. FOREO says the device helps remove dirt, oil and excess sebum in just one minute, while its massage routines are designed to leave skin looking fresher and smoother.

What I liked about the FOREO LUNA 4

The first thing I noticed was how nice the device felt against my skin. The silicone brush head is soft, and the pulsations make cleansing feel more like a little facial massage than simply washing my face. It's a small change to an everyday routine, but one that makes the process feel more enjoyable.

I also liked the sensation of a thorough cleanse. The LUNA 4 is designed to help lift away dirt, oil and excess sebum, and I found the experience left my skin feeling deeply cleansed. It's reassuring to have a device that feels gentle while still giving me that fresh, clean feeling afterwards.

One of the biggest selling points is the choice of settings. Not every day calls for the same skincare routine, and having gentle, regular and deep modes gives you the flexibility to choose how you want to cleanse. The 16 adjustable intensities also mean you can fine-tune the pulsations rather than being stuck with one fixed setting.

The LUNA 4 isn't just designed to cleanse, but also offers lower-frequency massage routines intended to refresh the appearance of skin and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.I like the idea of a skincare gadget that combines these two steps rather than concentrating solely on cleansing.

The best thing for me so far is the experience itself. It feels pleasant to use, makes cleansing feel more thorough and turns a basic skincare step into something I actually look forward to.

What I didn't like about the FOREO LUNA 4

The hardest thing to judge is whether the LUNA 4 makes a visible difference to my skin. I've only been using it for a few weeks, so I haven't noticed any obvious changes that I can confidently put down to the device.

That isn't necessarily a criticism of the product. Skincare results can take time, and claims around firmer-looking skin or reduced wrinkles shouldn't be treated as guaranteed outcomes. However, when you're investing in a premium beauty gadget, it's understandable to want to see more than an enjoyable cleansing experience.

I'd need to continue using it over a longer period before deciding whether the firming massage function has made a noticeable difference to my skin's appearance. At this stage, I can talk about how it feels to use, but I wouldn't want to promise results I haven't seen myself.

Overall verdict

I'm enjoying using the FOREO LUNA 4 so far. It feels lovely against my skin, the cleansing experience feels thorough, and the choice of settings makes it easy to tailor the routine to what feels comfortable.

My verdict for now? It's a lovely device to use and makes my cleansing routine feel more thorough, but the real test will be whether I notice a difference in my skin after using it for longer.
