Another thing to keep in mind with the Clairsonic - no matter what kind of brush head you are using, it's important to use the right kind of cleanser. You really want to use a thick gel cleanser. Clarins makes one or two good ones and I personally swear by Rodial's active cleanser, which is pricey, but is very multipurpose for older skin issues. You want a cleanser that stays nice and thick and doesn't immediately break down into a lather, especially a thin lather. The longer it stays in gel form, the more cushioning you'll get from the bristles and vibration.

 

Another thing, I personally feel it's very important to not use the Clairsonic at night, especially if you have sensitive or irritated skin. Think about it this way: the brush stimulates blood circulation under the surface of the skin. Do you want to bring blood to the surface and then just go lay down on one side or another of your face and go to sleep for hours? At night, you want your skin to rest, not get all "ready for action". If your skin is used to it, you can try adding it to a nighttime cleaning regimen, but I prefer to just use a cream cleanser, like Clarins Extra Comfort Cream Cleanser to gently get off all my makeup and then wake my skin up in the morning with an active cleanser and the Clairsonic.

thanks for the tips! i heard the thing about the lather, but i didn't know why it was important. i've been considering trying out the clarisonic for a while, but i'm thinking of taking the plunge around christmas!

Where do you get this one?

I can not find it....but maybe we don' t have it here in Germany.

I think I want the Veluxe Liner, I guess the Brunette one would be the best match for me. If it's a good deal compared to buying the perm refills, I might want the Brunette Duo as well.

post #757 of 2737

I have these two e/s in my brow quad already and therefore I will skip this duo.

 

I wonder if these will be "normal" e/s-duos or if they will have a different packaging.

Thank you again Naynadine! I don't know if I'm getting anything from this collection. I'm happy with my Tom Ford liner and the clear brow set.

Since he's Mr. Frugal and the last one who ever thinks he 'needs' anything (he of the 'I don't want/need anything' Christmas/birthday list), I knew he really had to like it. They come in burgandy and hunter green now , so I think they're trying to appeal more to men.

His skin is clearer, brighter and not as oily. He's very happy with it. He also likes that it's quick and easy to use with little fuss.

I have the Deep Pore, Sensitive and Normal brush heads. I haven't tried the Normal one yet. The main difference that I notice with the Deep Pore brush head is that it feels softer than the Sensitive one. I think it may be because the bristles are longer/more plush.

The Cleanser and the Balm are the same thing - just that the Balm is in their new, updated packaging! Their old packaging was kind of crappy with caps that wouldn't stay on and stuff like that.

 

I also HIGHLY recommend the Glamtox day and night moisturizers and the Dragon's Blood Eye Gel (as a smoother and depuffer underneath eye cream - I LOVE the Mineralize MAC eye cream, btw). I swore by the Glamtox serum, until it was discontinued - I use the MAC P&P Moisture Infusion instead - it's not as multi-purpose as the Rodial was, but it's also a lot cheaper too. If you are getting frown lines or other kinds of wrinkles due to facial tension, the Rodial Glamoxy Snake Serum is amazing...synthetic snake venom for a mini-botox effect. It's not hydrating, but it will stop your laugh lines in their tracks. (the Glamtox day moisturizer also has muscle relaxing ingredients in it that definitely do make a difference for me.) I haven't used it yet, but the Glamtox Eye is one of the very few eye creams with SPF (SPF18 in the new version). I've also tried some of their body products, like the Boob Lift, but it was kind of hard for me to stick with the daily use I'd need with them - I always have time for my face, but I'm kind of lax in the morning about slathering on a lot of lotions and potions all over my body. Their tanning products are supposed to be awesome, but that's not really my thing.

 

I don't think younger gals really need to spend the money on Rodial - I used Clarins for 15+ years. But if you're over 40 and your skin is changing, or you're under a lot of stress, Rodial attacks the disaster zones from many different angles at once, which I really appreciate.

 

P.S.: In the US, I buy Rodial through SpaceNK, which has an online store plus a few brick & mortar stores sprinkled around (one advantage of living in a big city like L.A.). Now Nordstrom's also is carrying some Rodial products too - they're a growing company for sure. The demand is still outweighing the supply, but it's getting better.

post #764 of 2737

iagree.gif....I had Normal,Sensitive and Deep Pore too and the DP is my favorite brush!

 

It really feels softer than Sensitive and Normal and I don' t want to use another brush anymore.

I had to look up the eye gel. That's a great name.

I haven't used the Deep Pore brush much because I haven't had it for very long. I also still only use my Clarisonic about 3 times/week. I would like to know why people are saying to be cautious with the Deep Pore brush?

post #767 of 2737

Thank you liba!!!

I have never tried Rodial face products.Only body stuff so far....

 

For my face I have been using Kanebo for years now and it works great for my skin!
But unfortunatly they do not offer a gel cleanser and that is why I have been looking for that since I got

my Clarisonic.

 

But it is good to know that the Cleanser and the Balm are the same thing.
I will order the Cleanse then!

Thank you so much again!

Just remember - the Rodial cleanser is active- meaning it's got Vitamin C and amino acids to exfoliate the skin. I don't use it at night, only in the morning. If you don't have dull, dry aging skin, you should definitely check out the Clarins gel cleanser - it's got a perfect texture for the Clairsonic, is cheaper and easier to find and gentle and hydrating for all skin types: http://www.clarinsusa.com/Pure-Melt-Cleansing-Gel-with-Marula-Oil/0132019,en_US,pd.html

post #769 of 2737

Thank you....I have to check Clarins out too!

Maybe I can get a sample of the cleanser to try it before getting the FS.

That would be a good idea - I know I've gotten samples of Rodial night cream before - maybe they have cleanser samples too!

post #771 of 2737

I really hope so!

 

I should definitely be able to get a sample of the Clarins Cleanser and will ask for Rodial too.

I have no idea if this has already been mentioned but my Mac said we are going to get a Waterproof False Lashes Mascara.

 

I have not yet even opened my Extended Play Lash M. But it's good to know there will be other alternatives, too.

I just purchased the grey one to replace my older white PRO one... one of the little clips inside that holds the head on came out, so the head was not clicking on securely.  So be really careful when changing the brush heads. Don't be too forceful.  I did have my original FOREVER!  I actually purchased it from my esthetician a long time ago before they were for general sale to the public. You could only get them from an esthetician or dermatologist back then...  So it was time for a new one anyways.  And when I open my new one I'm going to see if they haven't changed the design of the mechanism inside that holds the brush head in place...

I LOVE my Clarisonic!!  Everyone should have one!

When I first started using the Deep Pore brush I noticed more breakouts, particularly on my chin.  I've started using different cleansers and a new serum and the breakouts have since stopped.  I use my Clarisonic twice a day...in the morning & at night.  Perhaps the Deep Pore brush can be damaging to sensitive skin.  I don't consider my skin sensitive which is why I use the device so often.  I would decrease my usage if I experienced untoward effects but it seems harmless for me.

I have used two other cleansers which made a huge difference with the Clarisonic:  Aubrey Organics Blue Algae Cream cleanser or Yes to Blueberries Cream Cleanser.

 

I had all kinds of problems until i changed to using those- then I have no problems and I use it day or night with no problems at all.  Just in saw the other cleansers are not available, there are two more worth checking out. ;)

I started by using it every other day and moved up to daily because my skin is fairly sensitive (rosacea) and I didn't want to anger it.  You don't want to over exfoliate IMO.  This seemed to work for me.

I like the Paula's Choice skin recovery cleanser.  It seems "just right,"neither too greasy nor too drying.

Acutally, I kind of like the YSL collection the best but the cream e/s palette from MAC looks lovely.  Did I read it is on the Pro site now?

 

I am looking forward to the fluidline for the brows in the Taupe/dark ash blonde color.  Of course,  I will also try it for the "no makeup look" on the lash line as well.

post #780 of 2737

I just picked up the 3-speed Clarisonic at a Sephora Friends & Family sale a couple days ago. I had been hesitating because of the expense, but it was 20% off! So, still expensive, but hey only 4/5 of the original price.

 

It came with a sensitive skin brush, which i need for my mature rosacea prone skin. And it has a body speed and body brush, so i can get at my elephant elbows - well, they're not so elephantine, since i've been using AHAs and antioxidants on them.

 

I haven't used it yet. It's bigger than the Mia, so i'll see if it's too heavy for my 3rd grade (8 yr old) sized, slightly arthritic hands.

 

The SA gave me a sample of some skin cleanser that sounded suitable for my skin (dermaDoctor Litmus, i think). But i'm searching for something better, more soothing.
