Face to face: LUNA™ 4 mini vs LUNA™ mini 3

Are you looking for a fresh, healthy glow and can’t decide between two FOREO’s beautiful LUNA™ minis? Have you ever heard about choice paralysis (also referred to as decision paralysis and, my favorite, analysis paralysis)?

This is a deer-in-headlights situation where there are such a large number of choices that you just glitch up and are overwhelmed into paralysis and indecisiveness. This is stressful for you and bad for business for those who really do have something useful to offer. The choice paralysis loop is best broken by seeking advice, setting some criteria for your exact needs and wants, and giving yourself a timeline. 

We are here to offer a closeup look and quick advice on LUNA™ mini 3 and  LUNA™ 4 mini and we hope that we will have helped with your decision by the time you hit the final line of this article. Regarding your exact needs, only you can decide which is the right fit for you.

LUNA™ mini 3 facial cleansing device is a petite hi-tech gem that shook the industry a few years ago with its extremely convenient ‘Find my LUNA’ feature that debuted in FOREO For You app. This was the first  LUNA™ generation you could not lose  (as if you could ever part with one for long enough to lose it), In addition to its compactness and un-lose-ableness it also featured personalizable preferences in the app offering radical personalization for such a travel-friendly skin-tech. Two years ago, however, LUNA™ mini 3 passed the torch to its baby sister, LUNA™ 4 mini, a newer more advanced, and if we dare say so, even cuter version.

LUNA™ 4 mini vs LUNA™ mini 3

Both LUNA™ 4 mini and LUNA™ mini 3 offer superb facial cleansing and have a dual-sided brush fit for all skin types which removes 99% of dirt, oil, and makeup residue. The front of the brush holds thinner touchpoints for larger and more delicate areas such as cheeks as the back has thicker touchpoints to deep cleanse the T-zone and problematic oily skin. Both facial cleansing brushes follow suit of FOREO’s bestsellers and are made from ultra-hygienic silicone that’s quick-drying, non-porous, and bacteria-resistant. They also share the extra-soft touchpoints, with LUNA™ 4 mini going even 17% softer. The plush touchpoints channel up to 8,000 T-Sonic™ pulsations per minute into the skin, spanning 12 intensities of signature T-Sonic™ massage for a more personalized cleanse. And both deserve a hip hip hooray and will raise your envy rating!

So what is the difference? For now, you could swing either way, if the 17% softer touchpoints are not that big a deal to you. The difference is in the quality of treatment that improves with each new  LUNA™ generation. 

While LUNA™ mini 3 introduced innovative Glow Boost Mode, LUNA™ 4 mini has an upgraded Glow Boost with Pulse mode to increase blood flow and reduce muscle tension and puffiness. Glow boost mode is basically a lifesaver on those days when a minute just won’t do. You know the days we’re talking about. Glow boost mode is a fast yet gentle intensely deep facial cleansing mode that removes dirt, oil, and sweat for clean, healthy, and radiant skin in just 30 seconds. 

LUNA™ 4 mini also brings radical battery life improvements. You’ll enjoy cleansing for much longer as one LUNA™ 4 mini charge provides up to 500 uses, a hundred more than that of LUNA™ mini 3.

LUNA™ 4 Collection

LUNA™ 4 mini is a proud member of LUNA™ 4 Collection - the 4th and latest generation of our favorite facial cleansing devices, iconic, unique, and original must-have skincare essentials for a superior cleanse. its companions include LUNA™ 4, LUNA™ 4 MEN, LUNA™ 4 plus, LUNA™ 4 go, and the first expansion into body care LUNA™ 4 body. All of the devices in this range are clinically proven to remove 99% of dirt, oil, bacteria, and makeup residue in just one minute. The renowned T-Sonic™ pulsations gently massage the face and body to boost skin’s radiance, while the perfectly cleansed and lightly exfoliated skin hyper-absorbs the creams, serums, and essences - thus enhancing their efficacy. This means that owning a LUNA™ brush makes everything you own better and that nothing precious gets wasted on the surface. 

The devices consist of velvety soft, ultra-gentle silicone touchpoints that are 35x more hygienic than nylon bristles and glide effortlessly across the skin while remaining non-abrasive so they don’t pull or stretch the skin. Although soft, these silicone touchpoints fuse with T-Sonic™ pulsations, gently exfoliating dead skin cells, and revealing soft and radiant skin underneath.
To boost the devices' results, FOREO also launched a complementary cosmetics line for the best possible results technology can currently offer. Consisting of LUNA™ Ultra Nourishing Cleansing Balm, LUNA™ Micro-foam Cleanser 2.0, and LUNA™ 2-in-1 Shaving & Cleansing Foaming Cream. These products in the skincare line are designed to work seamlessly with LUNA™ devices, expel and lift away impurities from deep within pores, intensely hydrate, protect the barrier function, and allow the closest shave of a life for our male LUNA™ fans.

And a 1, and a 2, and a 3, and 4... Of course, you can get them all and view the gradual improvements - powered by feedback from real-life users and real needs - as a sort of Pokemon-like evolution. Or just pick a favorite if you're budget-conscious and not into collecting. Either was built to last and serve for a lifetime of beauty. We hope the information provided will help you get unstuck from analysis paralysis and that the melodic buzz of your new LUNA of choice will soon make you smile and glow.
