FAQs
Is the Braun X880Y safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, the unit is waterproof and safe for use in the shower or bath.
Can I use the cleansing brush every day?
Yes, it is designed for daily facial care to keep pores clean and maintain skin health.
Where can I buy replacement brushes?
Replacement brush heads are available through major electronics and beauty retailers that carry Braun skincare accessories.
