Panasonic ES-WH90 IPL review
The design of this device is rather good. Because the cordless, ergonomic shape and flash operation combine for perfect facial use. It’s good for smaller areas too and is a solid, quality bit of kit. The IPL facial attachment doubles as a skin brightening tool on safe skin tones too.
