High-Frequency Dermal Hygiene System
Elevate your daily cleanse from a chore to a ritual of purification.
The Dermal-Kinetic Edge is an advanced dermal hygiene tool engineered to clear congestion, protect the skin barrier, and prepare the complexion for maximum product absorption.
Utilizing ultrasonic technology that generates up to 12,000 vibrations per minute, this device employs high-frequency oscillation to dislodge dirt, oil, and residual makeup far more effectively than manual washing. Crafted from ultra-hygienic, food-grade silicone, it features a multi-zone bristle matrix and 5 customizable speeds—from gentle sensitive skin modes to powerful deep-cleansing—ensuring a tailored experience for every skin type.
It is the essential foundation of the Obsidian & Oak ritual.
Clinical Mechanism & Efficiency Data
The Science of Ultrasonic Cleansing
Unlike rotary brushes that use abrasive friction, sonic technology uses vertical oscillation to clean.
-
Mechanism: The device generates rapid vibrations (up to 12,000 RPM) that transfer energy to the water on your skin. This creates micro-fluid forces that flush out pores and lift impurities without aggressive scrubbing that can damage the lipid barrier.
-
Efficiency: Dermatological consensus indicates that sonic cleansing devices remove significantly more environmental pollutants and sebum than manual hand cleansing alone, improving the efficacy of subsequent skincare steps.
The Silicone Hygiene Advantage
-
Mechanism: The device is constructed from non-porous, food-grade silicone.
-
Efficiency Evidence: Material science data confirms that silicone is inherently resistant to microbial buildup. Unlike nylon bristles, which remain damp and can harbor bacteria between uses, silicone dries instantly, offering a more hygienic cleansing surface for daily use.

The Ritual Protocol (How to Use)
1. Prepare
Dampen your face and apply your preferred cleanser (we recommend The Obsidian Purifying Gel). Wet The Dermal-Kinetic Edge thoroughly.
2. Activate & Customize
Press the center button to activate the device. It will automatically resume your last used speed via the Memory Function. Use the "+" or "-" buttons to adjust the intensity based on your skin's current needs:
3. The Cleanse (60 Seconds)
Gently glide the device over your face in circular motions. Do not apply heavy pressure; let the sonic vibrations do the work.
-
Chin & Cheekbones: Upward, lifting motions.
-
Forehead: Outward circular motions.
-
Nose/T-Zone: Use the firmer touch-points at the tip for targeted cleansing.
4. Finish
Rinse your face with tepid water and pat dry with a clean towel. Rinse the device under running water (safe due to IPX7 rating) and allow it to air dry. Follow immediately with your toner and serum.
