H OW T O U S E

CLEANSE SKIN
Thoroughly cleanse and dry your face and neck. We recommend using a FOREO LUNA™ Facial Cleansing Massager with Micro-Foam Cleanser. (TIP: For optimal results, you can apply a hot towel to your face for 5 minutes to open up the pores, if desired).
SELECT PREFERENCES
Press the universal button to turn on KIWI™. Adjust the vacuum suction intensity by pressing the button again, once for each level. Access more settings via the FOREO app
REMOVE BLACKHEADS
Gently hold skin taut. Then press the tip of the device flat against your skin, and quickly glide across your face in upward motions. Once finished, gently wash your face with water and pat dry. Complete your treatment by thoroughly moisturizing skin. We recommend using FOREO UFO™ Deep Hydration Facial Device with your preferred UFO™ Activated Mask.

THINGS TO NOTE

Always glide the device quickly and evenly across skin, in an upward motion. Do not pause in one area as bruising may occur.
Do not use over extra-sensitive skin, active breakouts or open wounds.
Before using KIWI™ on your face, you can test it on your arm to find your optimal comfort level. Start on intensity level 1, and see how your skin reacts. Then work your way up to the intensity level that feels effective yet comfortable.
To avoid irritation, we recommend only making one pass over each area. To break suction, gently roll tip off at an angle — do not pull straight off of skin.
After your treatment, moisturize your skin thoroughly to hydrate skin and reduce the reddening of sensitive areas. We recommend using FOREO’s UFO™ Deep Hydration Facial Device with your preferred UFO™ Activated Mask.
We recommend using KIWI™ one to two times per week for optimal results.

CLEANING YOUR KIWI™

Since KIWI™ doesn’t require any replacement parts, it’s important that you follow our device cleaning instructions carefully, to keep your treatments as effective as possible.

For optimal results, unscrew the tip, hold it under running water to wash away any dirt and debris, and leave it to completely air dry before replacing it on the device.
Cleaning your kiwi

Meanwhile, spray the body of the device with FOREO Silicone Cleaning Spray, and wipe away any residue using a damp, lint-free cloth or towel.
Cleaning your kiwi

Finally, spray FOREO Silicone Cleaning Spray onto a cotton swab, and use it to gently wipe away any dirt and debris that has collected on the silicone filter.
