Clarisonic Skin Care Brush

A friend of mine recommended the Clarisonic. She is 37 and I am 47 and I was amazed at the immediate difference in the feel of my skin. I was afraid I might be past the age window on this one. I loved it so much I bought my 67 year old Mom one for her Bday and she feels the difference and loves it too, We don't even use the expensive face cleansers any more - basic products like Cetaphyll do the trick with this tool. I was not sure about the price so I bought the Clarisonic Mia - the travel size for $119 with shipping and tax and have more than gotten my money's worth. My friend got the Classic for more but said she really only uses the speed that comes on the Mia anyway. Hers had more speeds. Highly recommend it!

AFTER FOUR DAYS OF USE I NOTICED A DIFFERENCE IN MY SKIN!!! Sorry for shouting, but it's true!!!

I purchased the Clarisonic Pro about 2 weeks ago on ebay. I've been using it once a day for a little over a week and I'm super glad I spent the money on it. I hummed and hahhed a great deal over the idea of spending $200 on a motorized brush. Both my mother and boyfriend said it was a waste of money and I should just invest in high quality products instead. However, there were so many wickedly positive reviews for this little device that I had to buy it and try it for myself.

I've been using Clinique's face wash and moisturizing lotion with it; occasionally using Nivea Creme as a night cream. My face definitely looks brighter, the skin feels so soft (SO SOFT!!), and the blackheads I use to see around my nose and cheeks are fading!!

Dry flakey skin is also a problem of the past. I had a problem with flakes of skin appearing on my forehead, chin, cheeks, and nose especially in the Winter months. It was terrible! I'd put makeup on and the flakes were even more noticeable!! It hurt my confidence a bit, but with the Clarisonic, I no longer have this problem!! (Truth: In the past I used tape to try and remove the flakey skin. It rarely worked and was ultimately a waste of time & tape.)

I always thought harsh and gritty textures rubbing my skin raw would make my skin clean. WRONG!! I will never use gritty products again. All it did was make my skin dry and my pockets empty while trying to find the Holy Grail of exfoliators.The Clarisonic is the best. I was expecting the brush to be hard and feel rough against my face when it started to spin, but it was a very soft and light sensation. This device will definitely be part of my everyday cleaning routine for a long time to come.

Ask mom/dad/boyfriend/girlfriend/any friend to get this for you for Christmas. I highly recommend it.

I LOVE the Clarisonic! It was on my to-buy list after all the amazing Oprah and magazine reviews.

I've now been using mine for a year and still recommend it. It won't cure your skin, but it'll definitely improve it. I have combo skin that's prone to breakouts in the T-zone. The Clarisonic helps with that, I think likely because of the manual exfoliation that's gentle but not irritating. I've used it with a variety of my favorite cleansers and it leaves my skin feeling very soft and clean, but not tight. Removes foundation well.

It has been reliable and a single charge lasts for a couple of weeks for me on the 2 minute setting. I use it about once a day now; I was initially using it twice a day.

The cost is high, but I think it's a great investment. I don't pay for facials and my skin is much clearer than it was a year ago. Plus if you get the pink one, it's so darn cute and part of the proceeds support breast cancer research :)

This product is absolutely amazing. I've been using this for about 2 and a half years and i cannot live without it. It does such a good job at making my face clean and eliminates possible breakouts (not all, but better than nothing). I go to university at waterloo and i head back to toronto often, but each week, i'll haul my clarisonic back and forth...that's how much i love it !!!! I pair this with philosophy's purity made simple. I just usually move from spot to spot in a circular motion till i finished the whole face. I don't really care for the beeper timer thing because i don't really go by that. The price is a bit steep but i think it's totally justifiable. I've had it for a long time now and it's still working great. The replacement head sells for around 25$ and it's not bad for every 3 months. The only bad thing about this is that it doesn't really come with a travel protective case so it's a bit hard and bulky to travel. Another con is the battery life. I think the battery life is getting worse and worse. But i just keep it in the cradle all the time so it's not a problem. Overall, i definitely recommend this product. I know there are cheaper alternatives and i can't speak for those since i've never tried them. But if you've got a little money to shell, or it's a special occasion and you want to spoil yourself, try this!

I wanted to share with you girls one of the new gadgets I've been playing with over the past 5-6 weeks.. it's the Clarisonic skin brush and it's amazing!

I'm going to sound like an infomercial, but this thing seriously works. It uses sonic technology to get your pores clean, so all the dead skin, sunscreen, pollutants in the air, etc are cleaned. I have extremely dehydrated skin that's prone to flakiness in the dry winter weather. Since using this to clean my face, I've noticed that my skin is more supple and soft, with no signs of flaking. It's super easy to use in the shower, and you come out feeling like you've had a facial.

There are several versions of this available; the pink version I bought at Sephora donates a portion of the proceeds to breast cancer research. The only reason why I took points off is because the pricepoint of $200 CAD can be a bit steep, but the results are definitely worth it. The other caveat is that the brushes need to be replaced every 3 months.

Some tips:
- You don't need to use too much pressure for it to work; the key is making little circles so that the sonic action can work around your face.
- It can be drying, so I only use it once a day for best results.
- There is no need to buy any special facial wash, so long as the product you are using is non-abrasive. I use Philosophy's "Purity" facial wash and it works quite well.

I have been reading reviews on this product and all the hype it has been getting and I was very intrigued by it. The only thing that concerned me was the price. I mean $217 is allot of money to spend on an facial brush. I decided to take a leap and try it. I must say that this is the best $217 taxes that I have ever spent. I have been using this brush for 1 month now and I can tell you that my face has never felt and looked better. I was waiting on that "time of month" to really put it to the test because that's when I get most of my breakouts. I am very happy to report that I didn't get any...and i mean not one pimply within the least month and I would give total credit to the Clarisonic. Girls I know its allot of money to spend but try to save up and give it a shot. I guarantee you would agree that it was money well spent.

I am in love with this product! I have been suffering from acne, scarring for a few years now and I've tried every possible treatment on my face. Unfortunately, nothing has been effective. The weeks prior to my purchase of the clarisonic, I started to break out really badly, to the point where I seriously considered going to the dermatologist because my face was just covered with small pimples and blemishes but after careful research, I decided to shell out the money to purchase this skincare brush. I've been using the brush for about 3 weeks now and I am amazed at how well my face has cleared! The bumps that I had before purchasing the clarisonic brush were completely gone and the texture of my skin was a lot smoother, more even and brighter!

The only downside to this brush is excessive use will greatly irritate your skin and dry it out, so I'd recommend using it once a day at night before bedtime. Another con to this brush is that there is only one button to turn it on/off, change the timer settings and that can be really confusing and frustrating because you have to change the settings by following the beeps (which I found to be confusing).

Of course, this brush is really really expensive but I would not consider it a downside to the brush because I think it is worth every penny (given that it will last me a few years and not break down!). Just think about all the expensive acne products you had to purchase, how quickly it'd add up and yet it still would not treat your skin problems and you'd realize that the price is quite reasonable for such an investment after all.

I know this is expensive - and especially if you don't have skin problems it is probably not worth it, however, this Clarisonic skin care brush has been the answer to my problems. I am 38 and since moving to Texas 4 years ago, I have had the worst problems with blackheads and whiteheads that you can imagine. I don't know if it is hormonal, or if it is the climate here (hot, dry and dusty), but I have tried everything. I have drunk water til it is going out of style, I have cut back my coffee drinking, I have tried skin care from Proactiv to ultra high end Dr. Kaplan MD skin care ($500 bucks!), and nothing has really worked until I tried this brush. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is, I wish you could see my skin. For the first time in YEARS, I was complimented on my complexion the other day. I had gorgeous skin as a youth, but acquired these acne problems after my second child was born, and then these blackhead problems more recently. This is amazing. :)
