Cons:
Not within everyone's price range
Cleansers and moisturizer that come with the brush are awful
Those expecting a miracle may be disappointed
Overall, the Clarisonic Skin Brush is a highly recommended product. Yes, at 200 dollars it sure isn't cheap, but the results are well worth it. Within about a week of using the brush, I noticed an immediate change. My face was no longer red and blotchy, and I was seeing improvements in my acne as well. The brush is especially effective in removing blackheads, as after a few weeks of use, I have very few noticeable blackheads. I have remaining acne scars, although they are less red and therefore not nearly as noticeable and easier to hide with makeup. Don't bother with the cleansers and moisturizer samples that are included with the package, they aren't worth it.

Pros:
Cleans face incredibly well, great for removing makeup, allows any topicals (creams, lotions, anti-biotics) to absorb more deeply.
Cons:
Don't press too hard on your face, it will irritate your skin. (The instructions are very clear not to, but I guess some people ignore that.) Honestly, I don't think the price is a con. It is such a quality product.
I love it. My skin feels smooth and soft, it's definitely more consistent. My breakouts disappeared (almost) completely within about 2 weeks. The only thing I am left to deal with are tiny blemishes (probably from my need for makeup) and scarring. This has made a huge difference for me.

Pros:
Smooths out skin, helps fade away certain marks, super easy to use- can use any skin cleanser
Cons:
Expensive! (But yes- SO worth the money!)
Its really worth the money! To be super honest, I would have never considered spending so much money on a product, but my skin feels SO smooth right now! I am totally loving it! Its helping to even out the skin tone in my cheeks too- and some darker marks are clearly fading away! I love this product- and although extremely pricey, its really worth it. I dont know how I survived without it before. Its taken away a lot of the deadskin cells from my face and smoothed it out- my mom is impressed with it too! In regards to acne- my main problem hasnt been that exactly, but i dont know if it really helps with that. Good product- if you can afford it get one.. its really a wonderful product!

Pros:
Makes skin feel so soft and tight immediately after use. Minimizes blackheads. Helps absorb your face products better.
Cons:
Expensive
I started using Clarisonic just a few days ago and I can already see the difference in the appearance of my skin. I have oily skin and moderate acne, and I know that it's only been a few days, but it's already helping clear up my skin. I use the Clarisonic twice daily as instructed with a light glycolic cleanser. I follow up with a light moisurizer and my skin just feels GREAT. I just hope it continues to clear up my skin and not cause any breakouts. I highly recommend this product to anyone with problematic skin.

Pros:
+ Smaller pores
+ Smoother, softer skin
+ Drastic reduction in acne, especially blackheads
+ Is supposed to increase product absorbtion by up to 60%
Cons:
- Price: $195 at Nordstrom
I use this daily in the AM and PM to apply my cleanser. It has entirely eliminated blackheads on my nose, forehead and chin (T-zone) in just under a week! It is an investment, but it is definitely worth the price... my skin has never looked better or felt smoother. Also, it comes with a cleanser, but I don't recommend it. I recommend just using your usual acne cleanser. For me, it's PerriconeMD Skin Clear Cleanser.

Pros:
made skin softer, cleared up acne, washes off all make up
Cons:
heavy
I had severe acne and was reluctant on using anything with brissels but it really cleared up my skin and made my skin softer too.
January 30, 2008
Pros:
Shrinks Pores, Shrinks Blackheads, Improves Skin Tone, Easy To Use
Cons:
Expensive
I've done it all, including Accutane (twice). This is the first thing I've done - besides getting facials - that shrinks pores and blackheads. The only difference is, they don't come back 3 days later, like they do after a facial. $200 is a small price to pay for what amounts to a daily facial. I've been using it for over 2 months, and my skin just keeps getting better. No major breakouts, smaller, clearer pores, better texture - what's not to like? One word of advice - avoid the cleanser which ships with the product. It's full of Nonoxynol-9, which could grow whiteheads on a stone. I use a very mildly abrasive glycolic cleanser with the brush, which goes against the manufacturer's recommendations (I press very gently).
September 14, 2007
Pros:
This and accutane have been the only things to completely clear up my face. It gets deep down into the pores, and my skin hasn't felt this soft since I was a little girl! No more blackheads, or those annoying clogged pores on my chin!
Cons:
It is very expensive, but trust me, it's worth it. Can be overdrying if you are using too strong of a brush head or using it for too long.
This device is the only thing that has truly cleared up my face. I actually GLOW now. Every now and then I do get hormonal acne, but it is gone in 1-2 days when using this.

Pros:
Makes skin feel softer
Products seem to absorb better after
Cons:
Expensive
NO improvemnet in acne, actually it got worse
NO improvement in wrinkles or fine lines
After reading dozens of glowing online reviews of the Clarisonic brush, I decided to get one off eBay for about $190.00 with two extra brush heads. I used this product consistently for a week, and immediately broke out. I can't say if the brush was the cause of my breakout, but I cut back to using it only once or twice a week. It makes your skin feel very soft and clean, but so would a good exfoliating cream. Not worth the price or the hype! Did nothing for my acne.
June 20, 2007
Pros:
Easy to use, skins looks and feels so much better, smaller pores, less breakout (practically zero so far), BUY BUY BUY this it works wonders!
Cons:
Price! I paid almost 180 and was really kicking myself when I left the doctors office...felt like a sucker. Daughter told me I was crazy to buy...but now she is so grateful because her skin is looking great also :) ~
Wow! I LOVE this device:) I am SO happy I bought it, my skin is just looking "normal" if you know what I mean..it no longer has the HUGE OILY ACNE appearance. I know its pricey (fyi Ive seen new ones on ebay for around 125) but believe me it has really surpassed my expectations. Wish I had this years ago!
Pros:
Shrinks pores and clears up skin
Results can be seen within first week
Reduces redness and blackheads (very, very effectively)
