FOREO LUNA 4

  • Pulsations: T-Sonic, up to 8,000/min
  • Intensities: 16 levels
FOREO LUNA Mini 3

FOREO LUNA Mini 3

Compact LUNA with a 30-second Glow Boost and dual-zone touchpoints.

  • Pulsations: T-Sonic, up to 8,000/min
  • Intensities: 12 levels

Our recommendation

Buy the LUNA 4 as your home flagship: more intensities, skin-type variants, and massage modes. Buy the LUNA Mini 3 for travel, gym, and combination skin that loves the 30-second Glow Boost. Many owners end up with the Mini as the second device, not the substitute.

Size and coverage

The LUNA 4 covers the full face in fewer passes. The Mini 3 trades coverage for maneuverability around the nose and for bag space, with more passes per session.

Modes and routines

The LUNA 4 adds firming massage programs and 16 intensities across skin-type variants. The Mini 3 counters with Glow Boost, a 30-second full routine that full-size models do not replicate.

Battery and price

Both batteries are measured in hundreds of uses, the LUNA 4 claiming the higher figure. The Mini 3 costs less and travels better; the LUNA 4 costs more and does more at home.

Choose FOREO LUNA 4 if…

  • This is your one, at-home daily device
  • You want a variant matched to sensitive or combination skin
  • Massage modes and maximum control interest you

Choose FOREO LUNA Mini 3 if…

  • Travel and gym use are primary
  • Combination skin wants the dual-zone smaller head
  • The 30-second routine fits your mornings

Questions, answered

Does the Mini 3 cleanse as well?

Per square inch, yes. It simply covers less per pass, so sessions take a few more sweeps.

Can the Mini 3 be my only device?

Absolutely, especially for combination skin and smaller faces. The LUNA 4's extras are refinements, not necessities.

Which charges less often?

The LUNA 4 on claimed figures. Both are charge-it-and-forget-it devices in practice.
