In the box you find separate leaflets with usage information and instructions for the other attachments.

Why cleansing?

Cleansing is an essential part of the daily skincare routine. VisaPure Advanced cleanses your skin better compared to cleansing by hand*. It cleanses your skin thoroughly and removes dead skin cells and make-up. Through research we found out that your skincare products will be absorbed better after you have used VisaPure Advanced. Therefore your skin feels clean and soft after you used VisaPure Advanced.

* Internal study performed in the Netherlands in 2015 with 15 women.

Features

Intelligent Head Recognition

VisaPure Advanced has Intelligent Head Recognition. Each attachment that comes with VisaPure has specific levels of rotation and vibration. When you attach a different intelligent attachment and switch on the appliance, it recognizes the intelligent attachment. You hear 2 beeps and the intensity setting indications flash alternately.

The device then activates a customized program for the attachment in use (Fig. 2).

Note: You can find images 2-29 on the last page of this user manual.

Intensity settings

You can choose between 2 different intensity settings depending on your personal preference.

• Intensity setting 1 for a gentle treatment (Fig. 3).
• Intensity setting 2 for an intensive treatment.

The first time you use the appliance, we advise you to select intensity setting 1. If you do not experience any skin reactions, you can start using the appliance at intensity setting 2.

Note: your skin might need to get used to the new treatment just like it normally does with a new skincare product.

The intelligent attachments with NFC tag may require other treatment settings. Consult the separate leaflets of the different attachments for the advised treatment settings or visit www.philips.com

Skin zone timer

The skin zone timer indicates when you need to move the appliance to another skin zone. For more information about skin zones, see chapter 'Using the brush head'.

Using the brush head

You can either use VisaPure Advanced in front of the sink or in the shower. We advise you to use the brush head in combination with your favorite cleanser. You can cleanse your face with VisaPure Advanced twice a day. Other types of attachments may require other treatment procedures. Consult the separate leaflets of the different types of attachments for the advised treatment frequencies or visit www.philips.com/.

Facial cleansing with VisaPure

Skin zones

The face can be divided into two zones: the U-zone (cheeks, chin and the area between nose and upper lip) and the T-zone (forehead and nose). Always treat the zones one by one, in the following order (Fig. 5):

1 Right cheek, chin and area between nose and upper lip
2 Left cheek, chin and area between nose and upper lip
3 Forehead and nose

Cleansing program

The cleansing program consists of 3 treatment periods of 15 to 20 seconds. The exact duration depends on the type of brush head you have, so please consult the separate leaflets from your attachment for the advised treatment periods. The treatment periods for VisaPure Advanced intelligent brush heads are customized and vary from person to person.

- For optimal performance, start on the right cheek and switch to the left cheek after 15 - 20 seconds. Use the last 15- 20 seconds to treat the forehead and nose (Fig. 5).

Tip: You can also use the VisaPure Advanced cleansing brush heads for cleansing the neck and décolleté.

Note: VisaPure Essential does not have Intelligent Head Recognition and therefore does not recognize the customized settings of intelligent attachments.

Note: Do not use the brush head on the sensitive skin area around the eyes.

Tip: If you want to change the rotation direction of your attachment after you turned on the appliance, you can hold the button until the rotation direction changes.

Cleansing procedure

6 Gently move the brush head across your skin from the nose towards the ear (Fig. 8).

Tip: Do not push the brush head too hard onto the skin to make sure the treatment remains comfortable.

7 The face can be divided in different zones. The intelligent skin zone timer lets you know through a short pause when it is time to move to the next skin zone (Fig. 9).
8 After 15-20 seconds, the appliance pauses briefly to let you know that you have to move the appliance. Gently move the brush head from left to right (Fig. 10). The appliance stops automatically after it has completed the program for the entire face.

Note: We advise you to not overdo the cleansing and to not cleanse any zone longer than 20 seconds.

Problem Solution

I do not know if the appliance is suitable for use on my skin.	Do not use the appliance on dry, chapped skin, open wounds, healing wounds, skin recovering from surgery or if you suffer from a skin disease or skin irritation, such as severe acne, sunburn, skin infection, skin cancer, inflammation, eczema, psoriasis etc. Do not use the appliance if you are taking steroid-based medication.
The appliance does not charge.	Consult the chapter ‘Charging the appliance’ for correct placement into the charging stand. Make sure the socket to which you connect the appliance is live. Check whether contact pins on the appliance are in proper contact with the contact points in the stand. If you use a socket in a bathroom cabinet, you may need to switch on the light to activate the socket. If the charging light on the appliance still does not light up or if the appliance still does not charge, take it to your Philips dealer or the nearest Philips service center.
The appliance does not work anymore.	Make sure that you have pressed the on/off button properly. Charge the appliance according to the instructions in this user manual. Verify whether there is a power failure and if the wall socket is live. Check if the charging light on the appliance lights up to make sure the appliance is charging. If it does not light up or if the appliance still does not work, take it to your Philips dealer or the nearest Philips service center.
I don’t know which heads I can use with VisaPure Advanced.	All standard or intelligent cleansing brush heads, the Revitalising Massage head and the Fresh Eyes head can be used with VisaPure Advanced. To find out more about the range of VisaPure attachments consult our website www.shop.philips.com or the shop where you purchased your Philips VisaPure Advanced. If you have any difficulties obtaining information on replacement brush heads, please contact the Philips Consumer Care Center in your country. You find its contact details in the international warranty leaflet. You can also visit www.philips.com/support.

The brush head feels too harsh on my skin. If you experience the brush head as too harsh, we advise you to start using one of the brush heads specially developed for sensitive or extra sensitive skin. The Sensitive and Extra Sensitive brush heads have softer bristles. We recommend the Sensitive brush head for sensitive skin and the Extra Sensitive brush head for extra sensitive and dry skin. For the best treatment for your sensitive skin, we advise you to use the Intelligent Sensitive brush head. Thanks to the NFC tag in the brush head, the brush is programmed with lower levels of rotation, vibration and duration that are tailored to your delicate skin. Enjoy the benefits of a customized brush head that is adapted to your needs, with the intensity levels that are right for your skin.

I don't know with which cleansing products I can use the brush head. We advise you to cleanse your skin with your favorite cleanser. You can use cleansing gel, foam, oil, milk or lotions. Please do not use scrub cream or gel with particles.

Are the Intelligent heads compatible with all VisaPure models? The Intelligent heads are compatible with all VisaPure models. However, we recommend to use them with VisaPure Advanced, as thanks to the Intelligent head recognition in VisaPure Advanced, the Intelligent heads will start a customized cleansing program adjusted to your skin needs. The Intelligent heads can also be used on VisaPure Essential, but the program is similar to the program for standard brushes and takes the regular 1 minute. There are no extra benefits if the Intelligent heads are used on VisaPure Essential.

What is the difference between an Intelligent head and a standard brush head?

The Intelligent heads have a NFC tag incorporated in it, which makes it possible to have customized programs for specific skin types to achieve the best results for your skin type. Thanks to the Intelligent head recognition in VisaPure Advanced, the appliance recognizes the Intelligent head and starts a specific program with dedicated rotation, vibration and program settings. The standard brush heads do not have an incorporated NFC tag, and always uses the standard 1-minute program. The Intelligent heads are compatible with all VisaPure models, but for optimal use we recommend you to use them with VisaPure Advanced to achieve the most benefits. The standard brush head is compatible with both VPA and VPE. s
