Remember my post from a few weeks ago where I mentioned that Foreo LUNA is currently my go-to brush for travel? I recently discovered another travel alternative – Pulsaderm Buddy, a waterproof, fully functional travel-sized sonic cleansing system.
Many sonic cleansing systems are either large in size to begin with or come with bulky charging stations. Pulsaderm Buddy measures 2 x 2.5 x 3.5 inches and fits perfectly in your palm, which makes it not only a great tool that can fit in any gym or travel bag, but also the perfect device to keep in a small bathroom. Kind of the same idea as smaller appliances taking less counter space in the kitchen; and who doesn’t like lots of free counter space?
Pulsaderm Buddy comes with two brush heads: Regular and Sensitive. They both feature concave shape that helps clean hard to cover spots – chin creases and areas around the nose – more efficiently and without splashes of water flying everywhere [trust me, it’s a real problem with some brushes I’ve tried].
When I said it comes with two brush heads, I literally meant that it comes with them. That’s right, no need to buy the brush heads separately, the kit already includes both the regular brush for the days when you need a little extra cleansing, and the sensitive one when your skin is throwing a fit. By the way, the bristles on both heads are actually kind of firm and remind me of my makeup buffing brushes [for those who want to use this brush for applying makeup, Pulsaderm also sells sponge attachments]. My combination skin is a little on the thin side, so I thought that the sensitive attachment worked better for me personally. I repurposed the regular brush to use for my elbows and knees, and so far it seems to be keeping them in good condition.
What else is in the kit? A USB charger with AC adapter [so handy for trips!], a guide booklet, a cosmetic bag, and a handle in the color of your choice. Pulsaderm Buddy comes in pink, white, blue and green colors, so there’s something for everyone. My Buddy is in lavender, which was recently discontinued, but I had a really hard time picking a color because they’re all so pretty!
Pulsaderm Buddy features proprietary sonic technology that delivers thousands of 3D micro-pulsations to help gently and effectively push out dirt, oil, dead skin cells, makeup, sunscreen, and other impurities from the pores, without irritating the skin; it is currently the most sophisticated method of physical facial cleansing.
WHERE TO BUY: $69 USD. Available at Pulsaderm.

What a cool concept. If I were traveling for a while, I might take something like this with me, but for short trips I can usually live without my SoniClear
You’re much better than I am, Allison. I think I’m addicted to mu brushes, no joke haha 🙂 I don’t think I could go a day without cleansing my skin with a brush, and always have to have one with me even when I travel.
This is such a perfect size for travel! I have a Soniclear and it + it’s charging stand is just too much to carry around when I’m travelling.
I know, right? As much as I love my Soniclear, traveling with it would be a nightmare. It’s bulky on its own, and takes a lot of space with its charging station and cords.
That size is perfect!
I agree! It’s great for a travel or gym bag.
that is so freaking adorable! I wants it for my travel bag!
Haha, right? I like how it fits right in my palm, it’s like the size of a pear 🙂
How stinking cute is this!? I love mini everything!
You and me both, give me all the mini-things!
I love that little thing. So cute. I don’t like traveling with expensive things like my Luna so this would be a good alternative.
I would be devastated if I lost my Luna too. I also like that this one comes with 2 brush heads, so I don’t have to think about buying extras for a while.
It’s so cute!
I’m with you, it’s adorable!
This sounds awesome!
That’s what I thought when I first read about the product online!
Yes, that’s really travel-friendly. I am surprised it’s affordable!
I was surprised, too. And to think that it comes with a handy travel case and two brush heads, I think it’s a pretty good deal for someone who is new to sonic brushes and wants to try one.
I used to love my Luna, but then I bought a Magnitone Lucid (which has similar bristles) and I haven’t touched my Luna since. These kind of brushes are much better for breakout-prone skin.
Ooh, I need to look into that Lucid brush! I’m becoming sort of a brush hoarder.
THis little guy is so cute. Love it
He really is a cutie, and a handy one at that.
Why is everything small so much cuter? This buddy is totes adorbz!
My thoughts exactly, Nidia. I have a soft spot for small things 🙂
seriously how cute is this thing… I think this would have been a Godsend when I was traveling for work 🙂
I know, right? Why is it that everything tiny always looks adorable?
I want to try this badly
Those were my exact thoughts when I first read someone else’s review a couple months ago, haha 🙂
I love how compact it is!
It’s really cute, isn’t it? 🙂
