Love Clarisonic - Highly recommended investment

Pros:

easy to use
waterproof
charges easily

The Clarisonic is a little pricey but its worth it! Using the Clarisonic gives a gentle exfoliation without any harsh chemicals. You can use the Clarisonic device anywhere on the face or both. Your skin will be GLOWING and baby soft after first use! Mine holds a charge for several days (I use mine everyday in the shower, I find it easy to help remove makeup in the evenings) TIP: If you use your Clarisonic to remove makeup and the brush gets dirty. Put a little bit of Ivory bar or liquid soap on it. The brush will be white, brand new again! Ivory soap is a super cheap way to clean your Clarisonic brush heads. While its not necessary to use the Clarisonic every day. I find its a luxurious way to pamper my face every night before bed. The clarisonic helps the products you put on your skin absorb better, therefore I use my serums right after the Clarisonic. My skin is fresh, clean, glowing & clear. Do yourself a favor. Stop wasting your $ on cheap product you will just toss after a few uses with no results. Invest in the Clarisonic. We sell it in our store, we its the best!

Skin Transformer

Pros:

Fun to use
helps hyperpigmentation
gets rid of acne

Cons:

expensive

The clarisonic has changed my life and made my skin so much better. I began using it in December of 2012 when my skin was moderately severe and now 8 months later my acne is very mild. My skin used to be very bumpy with hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and it seemed like I was having a never ending breakout. My skin is now super smooth, even toned and my breakouts are only around that time of the month.

Got the last of it-

Pros:

gentle
cleans deep
fades scars

Cons:

you have to charge it frequently
expensive

I had moderate cystic acne as a teen but as a female I assumed it was mostly hormonal and I would grow out of it. It didnt help that I was lazy and didnt wash my face very often- I would get very easily discouraged. By the time I got to college I went on some birth control and that seemed to help with my acne quite a bit. I never quite got it all though. I would still have breakouts along my chin and on my forehead during certain times in my cycle. A few years later now I finally convinced myself to buy a clarisonic and I wish I had much earlier. Its much ore gentle on my face than I ever was and has improved its clarity and texture so much. Its even starting to fade all the scaring along my chin. truely a great product.

Worth the Money

Pros:

skin feels amazing
super easy to use
clears up scarring

Cons:

initial cost for device and brushes

I'm in my late 20's (almost 30) and have struggled with acne since middle school. I have tried just about everything to get rid of my bad skin, and spent a lot of money doing so. My problem is that I will only get one or two bumps at a time, but they will leave horrible red scars for months afterwards. So even when my face was totally clear, I didn't feel comfortable going anywhere without makeup. I tried a million scrubs and peels, but nothing has worked as well as the Mia 2 with the acne brushes. I have been using the brush for about a month, and it's a remarkable difference. Previous scars are fading fast, and new blemishes are fewer and dissapear faster. My skin feels great, I use less makeup, and my face never hurts like it did with the other acne treatments. I highly recommend the initial investment in the Mia and the brushes. It seems expensive up-front, but going back and thinking about all the money I've spent on dermatologist appointments, Proactiv, high-end skin care at Sephora, and drugstore products, this is totally worth it.

Best product I have used in 18+ years - Amazing

Pros:

Makes your skin feel incredible

Cons:

Somewhat expensive

I bought the Mia about 7 weeks ago, and haven't had a single fully formed blemish since I started using it. I simply use it twice a day with the provided brush head and Cetaphil-style cleanser. It makes your face feel incredibly clean, and when I have to wash without it, I can feel a very big difference. If anyone has gone from a regular toothbrush to a Sonicaire-style then they know the feeling I am talking about. It costs about $100 but I would pay multiples of that if necessary. Your mileage may vary, but my experience has been awesome. Good luck!

Pros:

Deep clean
Glowing Skin
Can use it in the shower (waterproof)
Magnetic charger
Can use on back, too

Cons:

Charge runs out somewhat quickly
Have to change the brush head every few months ($25)
May have initial breakouts within first week, but they clear up

I ordered the Clarisonic Mia for myself for my 29th birthday after a friend highly recommended it. Within a week my skin was so smooth! Baby soft! It cleared up the majority of my acne and left my skin glowing. I use it in the morning and at night. As I workout at least an hour, sometimes two, every day, my upper back was also starting to breakout, so I began using it there, too, and my back cleared up within 2 days! Incredible!

Pros:

-effective, quick results
-glowy skin, minimizes pore appearance
-best skin texture
-sturdy, water proof

Cons:

-default sensitive brush not great
-not good for live acne
-charge runs out quickly

Do not use on live acne where bacteria will be spread. One clearish skin, this brush will change your skin texture and contribute to continually clear skin. My acne has been severe in various phases of my life and I've used Proactiv for 3 years, Clinique Acne for 1 year and only the Clarisonic will change the appearance of your skin. My routine is brush in the shower in the AM with a simple acne wash and Clinique Acne moisturizer on spots and simple hand washing at night. Trust Dan when he says don't agitate live acne. Save this brush for clear skin.

Pros:

Deep Cleans Skin
Reduces Scarring
Reduces Hormonal Acne

Cons:

Initial Price

I have been using the Clarisonic Brush for over a year now, and cannot say enough good things about it. I was really luck and only rarely had acne as a teen, however after suffering from ovarian cancer and changes in my hormones as i got older my skin freaked out and i was breaking out like crazy, I had deep painful cystic acne and nothing was really helping. I intitally got the clarisonic to help remove dry skin, i never felt like regular exfoliators were enough, but the clarisonic is great at removing dry dead skin and for that reason alone I am greatful. However I also noticed that it great started reducing the severity of my acne and now after about a year of use my skin is almost always completely clear, i may get one or two small bumps a month due to hormones but otherwise my skin is clear to the point that i no longer wear foundation regularly. I use it with a gentle cleanser like cethaphi or Clinque as well as a BP lotion at night. In the Am i just cleanse with water and apply moisturizer. I would also like to add that both of my sisters also use the clarisonic after seeing how well it worked for me. They both went through purges that lasted 3-5 weeks stuck with it and are really happy with the results. I would really encourage using a gentle cleanser as all three of us have seen that products for acne make the skin more irritated and dry. And NEVER use it with a scrub the brush alone should be doing the exfoliating, also be sure not to press into the skin let the brush do the work. Good Luck and dont give up on it.

Pros:

* Cleans and exfoliates the skin
* Fun to use
* One charge lasts a long time
* User and travel friendly (Mia and Mia 2)
* Handle can work with any brush head
* Skincare products absorb into skin better
* Works well with the acne.org regimen if your skin is clear or almost clear
* Can buy online or at stores such as Sephora or Nordstrom

Cons:

* May experience initial breakout purging
* Price
* Might be too abrasive on sensitive skin
* Have to change brush head every 3 to 4 months

I like to keep my reviews short and to the point, but I just have so many great things to say about the Clarisonic brush! I'm currently on the acne.org regimen and absolutely love it, but unfortunately benzoyl peroxide leaves my skin dry and flaky, even when I use glycolic acid to exfoliate. I know Dan (acne.org inventor) says manual exfoliating can be irritating, and I do agree; however, it can be effective at taking away all of the flaky skin if done correctly. Everyone's skin is different, so I recommend starting out using this once a day or once every other day for a few weeks and work your way up to twice a day if needed. I use the Mia 2 with the deep pore cleansing brush head twice a day with my acne.org regimen and LOVE the results. Dryness and flakes are GONE! I never experienced an initial breakout. I would suggest using this if you have mild acne. The Clarisonic might be too abrasive for moderate to severe cases of acne. The Mia models are smaller and more travel friendly, and includes a travel case. I've also owned the Classic Clarisonic handle and it was more bulky than the Mia. But they all work pretty much the same. I prefer and now own the Mia 2. And the brush head can make a huge difference. A lot of people actually prefer the deep pore brush than the sensitive brush. Also, don't use any other new skincare products while first starting to use this so you know exactly what is breaking you out if you experience any reactions. One variable at a time is extremely important. Good luck and remember to start slowly!

Pros:

-Cleanses skin extremely well
-Face feels smoother, softer, cleaner after use
-Exfoliates dull skin off face
-Helped my skin look brighter and healthier
-Cute packaging :) (for the Mia)

Cons:

-Price

I could not be happier with my decision to buy the Clarisonic Mia. My skin had been looking dry/dull, so I decided to invest in this and buy it from Sephora. It is VERY pricey--its only downfall--but to me, it's worth it. Within a few uses I noticed my skin looked visibly brighter, more even toned and healthier. Any dry, dull patches on my face were gone. And my skin just feels so fresh and clean after using! It's like a little facial every time I use it in the shower. I will definitely be using my Mia every day. I also did not suffer from an initial breakout on the Mia (I have read that some people do). But regardless, I would recommend anyone at least try it. This has improved my skin so much!
