Many premium cleansing devices do two jobs: a sonic cleanse on one side, and a massage mode or surface for after washing. The massage step is mostly about comfort and helping skincare feel worked in, but many people find it makes the routine more enjoyable.
Our pick: the FOREO Luna 3, a silicone cleanser with a firming massage mode and about 1,500 Amazon ratings at the time of writing. Most features: the FOREO Luna 4 Plus, which adds heat, red light and microcurrent.
