Cons:
I am breaking out like I did when I was in HS and I'm almost 30!
I plan on giving it a full week, but just after using it one week, my skin is more broken out than it's ever been; which of course, is very upsetting!

Pros:
Deep Cleaning, waterproof
Cons:
I have sensitive, light skin. The Clarisonic made me break out TERRIBLY for over a month, I guess my skin was purging but it was really bad. I have to go see a dermatologist as I have painful acne lesions from the Clarisonic irritating my skin.
BE CAREFUL using this if you have sensitive skin like me. You have a disturbed skin barrier and any irritation like this brush (even though it claims to be gentle) is bad for you. I wanted to write this review to say regular, gentle cleansing is enough you don't need the brush pulling your skin. Because of the Clarisonic I have to go to the Dermatologist

Pros:
-Makes your skin feel awesome
-Easy to use
-If your using a topical acne cream like Epiduo, BP, Differin, ect. It will help it absorb better.
Cons:
-Not cheap
-Cleansers it comes with are not that great (I recommend using Cerave hydrating cleanser)
If you have the money to purchase this item, buy it, especially if your already using a cleanser manualy. Totally worth it. I've always been using Cerave cleanser and Epiduo which was working well for me but as soon as I started using this two weeks ago I have only got one or two breakouts. You can purchase different brush heads and it has speed setting for people with sensitive to rough skin. Also if you get a Plus or Pro model you can attach a special head to use on your skin. I bought a pro model off of ebay for a reasonable 150$'s.

Pros:
Cleared up skin, shrunk pores, squeeky clean
Cons:
Does not hold charge for long
I've had acne for years and have tired everything. My skin looked better after about two weeks of using Clarisonic, and is almost completely clear after two months. I use it twice a day with a BP cleanser and I use Tazorac at night. I'm amazed at the results. I only regret that I didn't buy one of these as soon as it came out.

Pros:
Makes my skin feel really clean and smooth.
Cons:
The initial price. But I have found it is worth it!
This is one of the best products I have found for my skin. It makes my skin very smooth and has helped reduce some of the scarring I have had from previous acne.

Pros:
Waterproof
Solid construction
Works as advertised
Cons:
Expensive (initial investment)
I love my Clarisonic. I purchased it from Amazon ([link removed]>
HEED THE INSTRUCTIONS and gradually introduce the Clarisonic into your routine. I started on the lowest setting, but opted to use it once a day since I manually/physically exfoliate my face on a daily basis (exfoliation gloves) and felt that drying would not be an issue for me. After 2 days my boyfriend pressed the buttons and messed up the settings so I am now using it on a higher setting, but there are no problems so I'm keeping it on that setting. I use it 1-2x a day. Smaller pores and improved texture (i.e.: old acne scars, sun damage), generally brighter complexion, I assume from the improved penetration of my 2.5% BP facial wash. It is not an overnight miracle worker, but like I said, I was able to jump into a pretty vigorous routine right off the bat. I also like the spot therapy on my neck and elbows. So impressed with my Clarisonic, that I went out and bought a Sonicare toothbrus

Pros:
My skin feels cleaner and my pores look smaller
Cons:
I worry about keeping brush sanitary. A bit expensive. I got mine on amazon.
I have only tried this twice so far, but already my pores look smaller and my skin feels cleaner. I have thick oil skin, so I really went hard when using it to get in deep after decades of having clogged enlarged pores and scars. I used it with cetaphil face wash. After rinsing the soap off, I applied a topical vitamin C serum that I got from Puritan's pride. I think the mistake some people are doing is using the brush while it is still semi wet from previous use -- if so -- bacteria can grow on it. Bacteria will die when the brush head is dry. Also, people need to wash the brush head after using it so that the dead skin cells and bacteria don't stay on it. That's why I recommend using this once a day or getting two brushes.

Pros:
Skin is less oily
Cons:
Very expensive; no decrease in breakout, hasn't cleared any blackheads or whiteheads
I've been using the Clarisonic for a little over a month, and I am so dissapointed, especially after reading so many wonderful reviews everywhere. I'm 34 years old, have very oily skin that breaks out regularly, and whiteheads in my cheeks and nose that have only gone away with oral antibiotics (Minocin). I was really hoping to see an improvement not so much in the breakouts, but in clearing the whiteheads and blackheads. No such luck. I was thinking of returning it but I have hopes that it may still work. I've used it religiously two times a day, both in the regular and gentler power settings, and with the sensitive and normal brush. My skin does feel cleaner and less oily after using it, but the oil comes back during the day and no benefit has come from the "deeper" cleaning.

Pros:
Very easy to use. Leaves my skin feeling clean and soft. Can use on rest of body. My IS Clinical Hydra Cool moisturizer and Active Serum go on nicely. My make-up goes on smoother and stays smooth throughout the day since I started using the Cla
Cons:
A bit pricey.
I've been using the Clarisonic brush twice a day on normal setting (not sensitive) for about a week. The last few days I've started to break out on my chin and forehead. I'm not sure if it's the cleansers that came with the product. I've tried them all and I'm going back to my own cleanser (NeoStrata). The serum is nice though. I really love the brush and I will continue to use it, but I'm going to have to experiment with it, so I don't break out.

Pros:
Cleans like a dream! Easy and quick to use.
Cons:
Could be too harsh for some users. My skin is dry, but I suppose that's better than the oil slick it once was.
My face is the cleanest it has ever been! I no longer have oily skin, however now it has become a bit dry. Almost all blackheads were gone after 1 month. I have not had 1 breakout since using this. Dark spots from old break outs have almost disappeared. My only issue is that now my skin is a tad dry. I use the "delicate" brush head and Purpose facial cleanser.
Pros:
feels like you get a good deep clean
easy to use
