In 2014 I attended the launch of Sorbet’s skincare line and the Sorbet Pore Your Heart Out Facial Cleanser caught my eye. I love gadgets and I finally treated myself to one 3 weeks ago. And I’m so glad I did.
Sorbet Pore Your Heart Out Facial Cleanser Review
I love facial cleansers. The Foreo Luna is spectacular, but I also like a brush with bristles. The other one I had (it has seen better days) had a rotating silicone brush head that I loved.
The Sorbet Pore Your Heart Out Facial Cleanser sports quite a few features that convinced me to buy it (it didn’t take much though) …
- The cleanser isn’t big and bulky
- It comes with 3 brush heads
- The cleanser comes with a stand
- It’s water resistant
- It charges with a USB – no batteries
- Clockwise & counter clockwise rotation
Now for the most important bit… the brush heads.
The cleanser comes with 3 brush heads (from left to right):
The Exfoliating Brush, the Sensitive Silicone Brush and the Daily Cleansing Brush.
I’m not sure who was in charge of deciding on the purpose of each brush, but I don’t agree with them at all.
I prefer to use the Sensitive Silicone Brush for every day cleansing. Daily cleansing with a brush can irritate your skin, so this one is most definitely the one for every day.
The Daily Cleansing Brush is way too harsh for use every day. I also find it to harsh for exfoliation. If you use the cleansing brush every day anyway, there is not much need for additional exfoliation. I threw mine in the bin.
The Exfoliating Brush is lovely and I use it once or twice a week to deep clean my pores. The bristles is cut to different lengths and even though they are very soft, they give a really good deep cleanse. You can also use this brush every day as it’s a lot gentler on your skin than the Daily Brush.
The best part about these brushes… replacements cost only R50!!
Another issue I have is the storage function of the stand. You can store two brush heads in the stand and that’s great, but one of them needs to be the silicone head. That doesn’t help me much as I use the silicone brush head most often.
The brush is very well priced at R330 and I don’t think you’ll get quality like this at a better price. I bought mine at Clicks just before their most recent beauty fair and I lost out on a 20% discount. Keep an eye out for their awesome sales!
This brush was one of my best buys in a long time!
Let me know if you tried the Sorbet Pore Your Heart Out Facial Cleanser. I’d love to know what you think!

I bought mine last year but since i bought it i haven’t been able to get a new silicone brush for replacement, the only brush i find in shops is the daily cleaning brush which is to harsh for my sensitive skin😣😣
How do i get the silicone Brush??
Oh no! Perhaps try to contact Sorbet directly. I’d suggest you try their Facebook page first. I hope you find one soon!
Hi there!
How do you clean your daily brush?
Hi Fathima. I hope you are well! I wash mine after every use (usually with shampoo) and then put it in a well ventilated area to dry :)
My Facial cleanser doesnt want to work anymore any guidance on how to fix it?
Oh no! I think it will be best to contact Sorbet directly. Have you tried sending them a message via their Facebook page?
