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:
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:
Shrinks pores and clears up skin
Results can be seen within first week
Reduces redness and blackheads (very, very effectively)
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:
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.

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).

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:
My skin feels cleaner and my pores look smaller
