Introduction
Thank you for choosing to buy
Philips VisaPure Men Essential.
Before you get started, we hope
you will register your product at
www.philips.com/welcome in order
to enjoy dedicated product support
and offers designed especially for
you. So what is VisaPure Men
Essential and how can it help your
skin? Cleansing is an essential part
of the daily skincare routine, but
traditional methods do not always
leave your skin as clean and radiant
as it could be. That is why we have
developed VisaPure Men Essentialour exciting new approach to facial
cleansing for men. Forget manual
cleansing, with VisaPure Men
Essential you can enjoy clean,
smooth and radiant skin, quickly
and easily every day. The
DualMotion technology of VisaPure
Men Essential combines rotating
and vibrating movements, allowing
the bristles to cleanse deeply
seated oil, dirt and dead skin cells
from your face, contributing to a
healthy-looking and radiant skin.
Designed to complement your
current routine, use the appliance
with your own daily cleansing
product. The power bristles reach
all uneven and difficult spots of
your face, that can't be reached by
your hands. VisaPure Men Essential
also helps enhance your grooming
routine, whatever your style is
(clean-shaven or bearded). It also
helps skincare products applied
after cleansing -such as your
moisturizer- to be absorbed better.
You will notice the cleansing effect
immediately - experiencing
smoother, more radiant looking
skin. VisaPure Men Essential comes
ready to use with a brush head.
Additional brush heads for different
skin types and purposes are
available separately. Ready to get
started? Use VisaPure Men
Essential twice daily so you can
have well cleansed, smooth and
radiant skin.

- VisaPure cleanses your skin
deeply and stimulates blood
circulation. If your skin is used to
the treatment, you may
experience slight skin reactions
like redness or skin tightness on
occasion. If your skin is not used
to the treatment, these reactions
may be stronger and can last
longer, but should disappear
after some hours. To reduce
these skin reactions, you can
shorten the treatment time,
reduce the treatment frequency
and/or apply less pressure on
the skin during treatment.
After 2 weeks of daily usage,
your skin should have adapted
to treatment with VisaPure.
However, if you still experience
strong skin reactions after 2
weeks of daily usage, we advise
you to stop using VisaPure and
give your skin some time to
recover. You can continue your
treatment once the skin
reactions have disappeared,
using reduced treatment time
and frequency. If the strong skin
reactions reoccur, we advise you
to contact your doctor.
