Clarisonic : Cleansing Brush

I love this cleanser. I have found over time that my acne has slowly gotten better by using this compared to a regular wash cloth or my hands. I have tried everything for my acne and this has been one of the only things that has proved great for me. It does get dirty easily so I reccomend cleaning your face of makeup before you use this but that is honestly my only complaint. I am really happy with this product.

I used the Clarisonic for 3 full months, twice a day and, sadly, it didn't do a darn thing for my acne. I had such high hopes for this brush but none of them were met. I may have seen a very slight reduction in the number of blackheads on my nose, but it definitely did nothing for the whiteheads on the sides of my nose or any of the inflammatory acne on my cheeks, forehead, and jawline. I also don't feel like I saw any general improvements in my skin tone or with any fine lines (I'm 34). I disinfected the brush head with alcohol before every single use. Oh well. This was my last stop before seeing a dermatologist for prescription treatments (I'm now 9 weeks into those and finally starting to see improvements) but I wish I had just gone to the doc first and spent the same chunk of cash on my scripts. Oh well. I did ask my doc for his opinion of the Clarisonic since I've heard that some derms are against them. He said it would be fine to use as long as it didn't irritate my skin but my skin is pretty irritated as it is, just from the topicals. Anyone want to buy a used Clarisonic? :-)

-My experience with the Clarisonic Mia was fine. Be sure to use the correct brush head for your skin type. Slowly increase the frequency of use until your skin becomes accustomed to the device. It does help certain skin issues like clogged pores and oily skin. Be sure to use a moisturizer and sunscreen as part of your skincare regimen - Also be sure to allow the brush head to dry and not stay wet. This will help with preventing bacterial growth on the bristles. -Please do not share the same brush heads with other people as to keep down on cross contamination. - Do not apply alot of pressure to the device when using it on the face. Allow the product to lie flush against the skin and let it doe all the work. -Do not use cleansers which contain any sharp pieces of nuts like walnuts. This will damage the Clarisonic.

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.

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.

I can't live w/o my clarisonic. I use it daily because I have oily skin. I use a papaya soap so it doesn't over dry my skin. My only gripe is that the OEM brushes are $27 per pop and I replace mine every 2 months so it's quite pricey. I recently found that Likas papaya soap (at $7) is really inexpensive and effective and found the Procizion brush heads at under $15 for a twin pack on Amazon. Overall no complaints and really works!

I bought this for my birthday hoping it would help me maintain clear skin, as it is supposed to draw out impurities and shrink pores. It works very well to exfoliate and control my oily skin- it even reduced my pore size and blackheads. I noticed my skin start to glow and feel smoother. Though the problem I have with the Clari is that most people experience purging for a month when used on a regular basis. I have used the Clari regularly for five months and the purging hasn't stopped yet. I get a LOT of white and black heads now, but, because I exfoliate so much, they are usually gone within a day or two. I recommend this to my friends who have severe acne because, even though there are more pimples, the skin overall looks and feels healthier. It does a wonderful job of removing makeup too, which prevents pores from being clogged.

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.

Didn't break me out but it didn't prevent breakouts either. I used it for a year and discontinued using it for about another year and my skin is fine with just using regular cleanser without the clarisonic. Would not necessary recommend it.

I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT THINKING IT WOULD HELP MY FACE & MY ACNE.... TOTALLY DIDNT REALIZE IT WOULD MAKE IT WORSE. NOT GOOD FOR ANYONE WITH ACTIVE ACNE. IT WILL AGGRIVATE IT AND STRIP FACE OF NATURAL OILS CAUSING OVER PRODUCTION OF OIL=BIG TIME ACNE. MY ACNE GOT SO BAD AND CYSTIC I WAS SO EMBARRASSED TO EVEN GO TO WORK AND FACE MY CO-WORKERS LET ALONE GO OUT WITH MY FRIENDS. **GREAT PRODUCT JUST DONT USE ON ACTIVE ACNE!!!!** NOW THAT IM ON SPIRONOLACTONE, I USE IT TO EXFOLIATE ONCE EVERY SO OFTEN & THAT IS IT, MY ACNE HAS SINCE GONE DOWN & DOESNT LOOK SO HORRIFIC.
