[DigitalToday reporter Yoonseo Lee (이윤서)] As the home-care beauty market grows rapidly, interest is rising in beauty devices that help manage impurities and sebum deep in pores that cannot be addressed by hand washing alone. With various products hitting the market, we took a close look at the Mellians silicone vibrating cleanser, which is drawing attention for its design and solid performance.

■ Sensory 12-colour lineup and ergonomic design

The first thing that stands out is the range of colour options. It comes in 12 colours, from pastel pink to candy lilac, powder blue and peach fuzz, as well as dark black, allowing users to choose to match their preferences and bathroom interiors.

The device measures 146x54x30 mm and fits in one hand. It weighs about 145 grams, lighter than a typical smartphone, making it easy to use for long periods or carry while travelling. A wall-mount stand included as a basic accessory can be attached to bathroom glass or tile, addressing hygienic drying and storage at the same time.

■ 12,000 vibrations a minute and 1,057 silicone micro bristles

The cleansing power of the Mellians silicone vibrating cleanser centres on its strong vibration performance. About 12,000 ultra-fine vibrations a minute adhere closely to the skin, gently expelling impurities deep in pores that hands cannot reach. Intensity can be adjusted in 5 levels depending on skin condition, allowing customised care, such as choosing level 1 (about 6,500 times a minute) on days when the skin barrier is weak, or level 5 (12,000 times a minute) on days when sebum secretion is heavy.

The brush design is also detailed. A total of 1,057 silicone micro bristles are divided into two areas. The thicker silicone bristles at the top (48) provide strong care for areas where sebum is concentrated, such as around the nose and the T-zone, while the fine silicone bristles at the bottom (1,009) gently cleanse broader and more sensitive areas such as the cheeks and forehead. In an actual test, applying cleansing foam to the brush and rubbing produced dense, rich lather in about 5 seconds.

■ Differentiated heat massage and smart timer

What sets the Mellians silicone vibrating cleanser apart from typical vibrating cleansers is the heat-massage function on the back of the device. The heat mode of about 37 to 42 degrees Celsius gently opens pores before cleansing to maximise the efficiency of removing impurities, and after cleansing it can also be used as a massager to help absorb basic skincare products.

It also has a 5-minute automatic timer function to prevent skin irritation from excessive cleansing in advance. It is a smart feature designed for users who can easily lose track of time while focusing on washing their face.

■ Safety and convenience: IPX7 waterproofing and magnetic charging

Waterproof performance is essential for a device used in the bathroom. With an IPX7 premium waterproof rating, it can withstand up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1 metre. It can be used freely while showering, and the body can be washed directly under running water for easy maintenance.

Charging has also advanced. It adopts a magnetic charging terminal to fundamentally block water from penetrating into the terminal. With an 800 mAh high-capacity battery, it can be used for up to about 9 hours in cleansing mode on about a 3-hour charge, showing enough endurance to use for weeks without worrying about charging after a full charge.

■ Overall assessment: a high-performance home-care beauty device solid on the basics

The Mellians silicone vibrating cleanser uses SGS-certified food-grade silicone to secure skin safety and is also supported by clinical testing.

Unlike low-priced similar products that show shortcomings such as low vibration counts, weak waterproof ratings or no included stand, this product offers a well-finished package from core performance to accessories. Its price is also set at a reasonable 36,900 won on the official store, making it suitable for personal use as well as a gift.

For users who want effective pore care and gentle exfoliation, the Mellians vibrating cleanser appears to be an excellent answer.
