How long does one sponge last? And, is it true that the sponge replaces your face cleanser?

They say if you take good care of the sponge, it should last for 3mns. I've used it w/out cleanser and it is fine- I've also used it with cleanser. Depends on the amount of make-up I have on. Regardless- I really like it.

I have used some of these sponges for over 6 months. The smaller ones tend to fall apart much sooner. I have learned that they can be cleaned using a hydrogen peroxide solution, but most don't need this.

Yes. Everything you said is true. The sponge material is not holding up as well as it used to. That is why I switched to the Jet sponge. It lasts so long. I've been using the same sponge for dishes for 9 months now and there are no signs of wearing out still. It does not have that non-stick surface but the non-scrubber side works pretty well for that.

i also use it with my regular cleanser and a few times a week I use it with an exfoliating scrub. I have prefer to put the cleanser on my face with my hands and then use the brush, rather than putting the cleanser on the brush itself.

I'm sure it's different for everyone, but mine only took a week or so to notice the difference. Beware, if one of the products starts to make your face burn or peel, it's probably not the cleanser - I don't use all 3 products anymore, just the cleanser and sometimes the stuff with SPF.

Hi,To be honest it was for my gf, but it lasted closer to 3-5 Weeks for the bigger size. It is very very very effective and works very well, but the proportions are kind of off, she says. Not sure if it's supposed to be like that, but the face wash and sunscreen lasted closer to 6-8 Weeks. My gf just got her cosmotologist license and now gets it for 40% of directly with Jan Marini in CA ( I guess they require one to order directly). Hope this helps!!Bryan

Lordy, NO! It burns and will make your face peel in a couple of days if you leave it on only 10 minutes :). Sometimes I use it for only about 30 seconds and it does the trick. Helped clear a stubborn breakout and did not harm my sensitive skin.

I have found that one sponge lasts for about 6 to 12 months, when I was using it every day for at least two weeks each month. If you are just using it for a week each month, I think it would last at least that long, possibly longer. It really depends on how much it is getting rinsed and cleaned. After time, you will be able to see that the sponge is loosing structure and not absorbing as much. That is when I order new.

I have the white Proraso soap tub (oatmeal/green tea). Assuming they're similar I've had mine over 2 years. I shave twice a week and I am only maybe 1/3 into it, so for me it will probably last 6 years :) It was my first "nice" soap and I haven't used anything else until lately, but now that I'm starting to branch out, it might last even longer :) So far it's still my favorite, but I'm curious about trying this green tub too.

Hello and thank you for your question. I actually made this purchase at the request of my wife. I don't use it at all, but she loves it. According to her, she uses it on average once a week and each session lasts around 30 minutes. When she feels she needs an extra treatment, she'll do it twice a week. But if you over-do it, it may dry out your skin.

I have oily, acne prone skin so I use it anywhere from 2-3 times a week. It is not harsh on your skin, but when I use this I do not use my cleansing brush or an exfoliating face wash! Hope that helps!

About two months, like it says. The face wash lasts a little longer, the clearing toner a little shorter.

I prefer to have a couple sponges for each cycle, so I alternate between the two. I usually disinfect the sponge I used that day by first rinsing in warm water then soaking it in a mix of 1/3 hydrogen peroxide and 2/3 water, soak it for about 15 minutes then wash it again with warm water and let it dry for the evening. I clean whichever sponge I used for the day that same evening.

It took about two to three weeks for me. I also use a facial scrub two to three times a week with this as well.

I use the cleanser on my face in the shower then I apply the lotion on when it is dry. The regular lotion is necessary, at least for me, as well as the cleanser. When I run out of one and just use the other then I can tell the difference. As far as Acnefree, I have used the cleanser when I ran out thinking I could use it while I use up the lotion but I still broke out. For me, nothing I've tried has even come close to giving me a constantly clear face except for this product. Trust me, it works.
