History
FOREO initiated operations in 2013, [15] and in three years secured a presence in luxury department stores, premium perfumery chains and high-end beauty e-commerce operators across the globe, with a total of over 6.000 placements in more than 50 countries. FOREO's story [16] started with the Luna™, a facial cleansing brush. Spurred by technical curiosity, upon closer inspection of other facial cleansing products, a number of flaws were identified: cleansing was done using abrasive nylon bristles that could potentially lead to excessive exfoliation and make daily use of the product counter-productive, the brush itself was retaining dirt and makeup leftovers, and the form and ergonomics left a lot to be desired.
Technology and Innovation
T-Sonic (transdermal sonic) pulsations that Foreo products use refer to the up to 8,000 pulses per minute that are channelled through a silicone brush across the dermal layer. Silicone brush oscillate at a precision-tuned sonic frequency. [17] These pulsations drive away dead skin cells and makeup residue, as well as 99.5% of dirt and oil, improving the absorption of skincare products, as well as prepare men’s skin for a smoother, closer shave. Silicone touch-points provide a deeper and gentler cleansing when combined with T-Sonic pulsations. Softer, smoother and far less abrasive than bristled brushes, silicone brushes are also up to 35X more hygienic by preventing the build-up of bacteria. The products are waterproof and can be used in the bath or shower.
Products
FOREO's most popular and recognisable product series is the LUNA™, launched in 2013.
[1] The LUNA™ is a face cleansing device which, through pulsations of various intensities, deeply cleanses the face via the medical grade silicone touch points, also featuring an anti-ageing mode which has said to decrease signs of ageing.
The product range also includes the IRIS™ eye massager, the ISSA™, electrical toothbrush launched in 2014, [2] and day and night face cleansers.
