Would love to hear some suggestions. I have been using an ultrasonic hand held for about a week. Its fine but I hate the mess the gel makes. It just drys out on my face and feels sticky. I think its going to work out expensive too as it sees to take a bit to do the whole face.

has anyone used a nice serum or something to do this instead of a gel? Its putting me off using it, as I end up having to clean my face afterwards to get the sticky away. Bit annoying.

any suggestions would be welcomed, thanks!

I've used both face cream, and gel.

now i put on face cream, then gel on the sonic head. this is the one i have, it's not sticky and seems to be fine. it doesn't take much at all, perhaps putting face cream on first helps my skin to be more slick, not sure.

anyway, here's what i bought

for face cream, i use skin actives twilight A cream. for super moisture, i use chanel hydramax+active.

I use Aloe Vera Gel. It's not sticky and is good for the skin so I don't bother washing it off.

Thanks for the suggestions. Maybe if I put some moisturiser on first it might glide better, I'll try that!

Also will have a look at some Aloe Vera gel, hadn't thought of that.
