Face to Face: Comparing LUNA™ 3 & LUNA™ 2

2019-10-29 | Updated on: 2026-11-09

LUNA 3 vs LUNA 2

Up close and personal with LUNA™ 3 Ever heard the phrase “good things come in threes”? Well innovative beauty technology by FOREO seems to be no different. LUNA™ 3 recently came out and we’re sure it got you wondering; what’s the big difference between LUNA™ 3 and it’s predecessor LUNA™ 2? Don't get us wrong, LUNA™ 2 is still a popular choice among skincare enthusiasts around the world; the soft bristles and large brush head give a clean and feel to the skin that simply feels… different. And with something for everyone‘s skin type, it’s not hard to see why the brush is such a hit. All of these great things about LUNA™ 2, is what helped capture the hearts of so many, but as a company striving for innovation and to better themselves with each step, there was already something else cooking... 

Better, Faster... Softer?

Out came LUNA™ 3 and set itself apart, not just by appearance (larger cleansing surface), but in its performance as well. This brush uses longer and softer bristles than LUNA™ 2, meaning you can get a more gentle cleanse than before, while at the same time targeting all those hard-to-reach places that you somehow keep missing. And the best part is you’ll be able to enjoy that in depth clean for much much longer thanks to LUNA™ 3’s crazy long battery life (*whispers* one charge means 650 uses ). However, what really sets it apart would have to be the App navigated treatments.

I was wondering is the Luna 2 also able to connect to the app and the different things which you can do through the app compared to the Luna 3.

Hello Kostadina, please note that Luna 2 is not an app operable device.

So many downgrades from the Luna 2. ): Can’t change intensity manually without the app (who brings their phone into the shower??), vibrations shut off immediately after face cleanse (therefore can’t clean neck or decolletage), and can’t do the massage treatments manually without the app. It is also annoying to have to double click to turn on, and hold for 5 seconds to turn off the vibrations— would’ve been much more intuitive if we could just press the button once to turn on, once to turn off. I feel like most of these issues (except for the manual intensity buttons) could be easily corrected with a software update thru the app, but the Foreo team hasn’t made any changes despite the abysmal app reviews. It’s a shame because otherwise it would’ve been an amazing device.

Hello Alex, please note that Luna 2 is not an APP operable device. However, I can see you made an honest mistake and what you wanted to write is Luna 3. :)

If you would like to exchange your device for a one that does not require an APP I would kindly ask you to contact customercare@foreo.com and they will help you.

Clearly, she described Luna 3. Her first sentence says there are so many downgrades from the Luna 2.

Hi Cate, great question! :)

Of course, Luna 3 has the amazing Anti-Aging mode but you can choose between four different massage treatments while with Luna 2 you have one massage treatment programmed in the device.

If I have oily skin, which Luna 3 can I use? Does it really matter which device is used?
