men. The DualMotion technology of VisaPure Men combines rotating and vibrating movements allowing the
bristles to cleanse deeply seated oil, dirt and dead skin cells from your face. You will notice the cleansing
effect immediately - experiencing smoother, more radiant skin. It also helps enhance your grooming routine,
whatever your style is (clean-shaven or bearded). Designed to complement your current routine, use the
appliance with your own daily cleansing product. VisaPure Men comes ready to use with two brush heads:
Normal brush head for daily cleansing of normal, combination or oily skin and exfoliation brush head for
weekly removal of dead skin cells. Additional brush head types are available separately. Ready to get
started? Enjoy making VisaPure Men part of your daily grooming routine and have a well-cleansed, smooth
and radiant skin every day.
