Clarisonic Skincare Brush

[leenybeeny]

I absolutely love my Clarisonic!! Best thing for my skin. I wrote a review here:

Glossiplicity - Everything you need to glow, for your face!: Clarisonic Cleansing Brush Review

[yepanotherone]

I will say that when I first bought this product, I was not loving it. I had the delicate brush and I would use it once a day for 1 minute. The delicate brush was way too harsh for my skin. It caused more irritation and breakouts.

I have since switched to the delicate (blue) brush and a gentle cleanser for sensitive skin and I have fallen in love with it. I like it because it really removes my makeup. I feel that in order to remove it without the clarisonic it would be a bit more scrubbing involved and it would take a little longer.

It only takes a minute and I now can use it up to twice a day if I want but I always use it at least once a day with no more problems.

I love this brush. I only use it in the shower when my skin is wet and steamy from the water. It makes my skin so soft and smooth. However, I do notice that I BURN easier in the sun...so be careful!!!

PS- I use the Philosophy Microdermabrasion wash WITH it...

Hmm.. I think I read somewhere that you're not supposed to be using a microdermabrasion cleanser WITH the clarisonic. You're like.. doubling up on the exfoliation, and heat on top of that. It can definitely be harsh on your skin and remove that protective barrier, and that could be why you're more sensitive to the sun. I hope you're wearing an SPF! Are you using any chemical exfoliators as well, like AHA/BHA or any acne solutions like salycilic acid/retin-a? Those could be culprits also.

Try using it with a gentle cream or gel cleanser. It will be MORE than enough to get all makeup and dirt off, and shouldn't be so harsh.

I don't know whether it's because I didn't have much of anything to work on with my skin but I didn't see that it did much. It's just an overly expensive machine to me, so I wouldn't suggest that anyone spend that much the first time around. I use the Buf Puf and my Peter Thomas Roth cleanser and it works just as well. Try EVERYTHING else before you buy it!

i'm obsessed with the clairsonic! i have always had problems with blackheads and congestion on and around my nose and this has made it disappear! also i'm not sure if this is true for everyone but i was told by my cosmetology school's owner that if you are a licensed cosmetologist or esthetichcian you can call the company and get the clairsonic for only $75! that is how much we (students) pay at my school because we retail them also.

i watched a video on youtube of this girl using her clairsonic-type $4 toothbrush from the drugstore to cleanse her face. i'm wondering if this actually works? it's like the super bargain version of the brush!!!

Just got my Clarisonic Pro today, so excited to try it out. I´ve read a lot of raves about it and decided to purchase one. I am currently undergoing a course of microdermabrasion treatments but wouldn´t be able to afford it in the long run. So I hope that the clarisonic is a good, less expensive alternative to unclog my pores.

[booboo39]

wow, interesting alternative but I would think it would take a long time to do the whole face! Maybe it would be good for just little problem areas. We bought one for our son well over a year ago and I think he thinks it is a decorative item for his bathroom sink because it has never been used

[ShortnSassy]

*update!* i bought one (the real brush, not the toothbrush ha) and i'm OBSESSED.

[LatteQueen]

whoaaa I've never thought of that using a spin off version of the clarisonic face cleaner i.e. toothbrush...I have to try that..a whole lot cheaper I must say..

[michelle79]

I love my Clarisonic!! It has improved my skin & I have a nice glow. I had stopped using it for some odd reason & my skin looked dull & tired, so you have to be consistent with using it.

For those concerned about the price Clarisonic usually offers an installment pay plan around the holiday season, that's when I got mine. You can also purchase it on QVC & they have a payment plan.

What is the difference between the Carisonic Pro and the classic one? Also I did not see the pro one on Sephora, Can you only get it from the company?

[kareno]

I love my Clarisonic! If mine broke today I would go out and get another without batting an eye. When I don't use mine ( when we go camping) I hate how my face feels. I had adult acne and I no longer get those deep cystic pimples that take weeks to go away. It definately takes a little getting used to. When i first got mine I guess I pressed it down and it was too much for spots on my face and made it a little raw. i use Ole Henrickson On the go face cleanser with mine.

i justed ordered one off of QVC on 6 easy payments!!!! I can't wait for it to come in the mail.

I think the main difference between the classic and the pro is that the classic has only 2 speeds whereas the pro has 4 speeds.
I bought mine from ebay.

[nursee81]

Sh@t I had to cancel my QVC order because it was the original clarisonic brush and I want the Plus. I am still waiting either for the sephora F&F or next time its on QVC.

[sdfw]

After reading the reviews I think I may finally take the plunge and buy one. It seems like it is worth the money.

[shadowaddict]

On the Sephora site they have the classic two speed and then the plus with three speeds for like $30 more. Does anyone know if the one with three speeds if the third speed is something in between the two on the classicone or a faster one or slower one? I'm trying to decide which one to get, just wondering if it's worth getting the plus?

I've been waiting for the Sephora F&F sale to get it if I decide to get one. The sale is coming up soon so I need to decide if and which one.

[xxManBeaterxx]

If you girls are considering buying the clairsonic from the sephora website during the F&F sale, do it quickly! I wanted to purchase it last year but it went temporarily out of stock in about a day, and it they didn't restock it until after the sale was over. Plus theres no rein checks

[Willa]

I bought mine about a month ago, I tried it for the second time yesterday (I was on vacations, didnt bring it), I love the feel of my skin after I cleaned it. I just need to find a good cleanser because right now I use Garnier Fresh and I'm not sure it's 100% appropriate to use it with the brush. I didnt like the smell on the one that comes with it also...

[SpaJeweler]

Just what I need -- another facial gadget but I've heard so many great things about the clarisonic. Does anyone know how this compares to a galvanic spa -- specifically the one by NuSkin?

Thanks!

I got mine finally a from nordies and absolutely love it. My skin feels really nice and clean after I am done using it. I have also noticed that my black heads on my nose are disappearing. I know its a big splurge but its worth the money. I would save up for itif you girls and boys want to get it. HTH

[shadowaddict]

^^^I totally agree. I ordered mine as soon as Sephora F&F sale went on. I waited up since I'm on central time. I was so afraid they didn't have many in stock and would sell out. I LOVE it. Same result as you. My skin feels so soft and clean and the blackheads on my nose are finally starting to go away. I am really glad I gave in and let myself get this.
