Is the Vwmyq scrubber really the top silicone Care Face Cleaner Tool for most people? Honestly, how would I even know? My usual job involves testing speakers. Face care tools aren’t exactly in my wheelhouse, and Wirecutter doesn’t have a guide dedicated to care face cleaner tools yet. The market is flooded with options, ranging from budget-friendly scrubbers costing just pennies each to more premium versions priced over $20. You can even find packs of 20 for a few dollars, a lifetime supply for someone my age!

My main gripe with the Vwmyq care face cleaner tool is the tiny loop designed for hanging it to dry. Trying to thread that minuscule 0.375-inch loop onto my shower caddy hooks is a daily test for my aging eyesight. However, for the past 20 months, I’ve simply placed the scrubber fingers-down on the caddy, and it has remained remarkably free of mildew and soap scum. A quick rinse before using it with my trusty Dove bar in the shower – yes, I know it’s not the fanciest face wash, but it works for me – is all it takes. And my dermatologist hasn’t suggested any upgrades to my routine yet.
To add a touch of seriousness to this review, I decided to test a more upscale care face cleaner tool: the $20 Sud Scrub. It boasts a finger strap on the back and antimicrobial properties – though in today’s world, what doesn’t claim to be antimicrobial? While the Sud Scrub’s flexibility allowed it to contour to my face better, the scrubbing experience felt less like a refreshing cleanse and more like a tedious task. I’m sticking with the Vwmyq.
If you prefer purchasing your care face cleaner tool from a well-known beauty brand, there are definitely pricier options available. In a market increasingly filled with products from obscure origins on platforms like Amazon, the Vwmyq brand name might not inspire instant confidence. The fact that Vwmyq also sells Pilates equipment, LED gloves, car vacuums, fake flowers, and even cellophane bags under the parent company Haikou Liukesong Technology doesn’t exactly scream skincare expertise. Yet, my Vwmyq care face cleaner tool has lasted nearly two years without losing a single silicone bristle. It’s rare to find a $9 product that offers such longevity.
