Clarisonic Skincare Brush

I have been thinking of getting a clarisonic, but I have just started using retin a. Can you use a clarisonic while using retin a? Is there a difference between the delicate brush head and the one for sensitive skin? Thanks!
Yes, the delicate brush is for more sensitive skin. I react better to that one than the other brushes. Personally I wouldn't use the clarisonic together with Retin A. On my skin at least, retin a causes some irritation as it is and adding the clarisonic to your regime might be a bit much. Perhaps once you start using the retin a less you might use the clarisonic. Perhaps other specktrettes have had experience in combining both? I wouldn't recommend it personally...

I stopped using my clarisonic because my acne was very active. Now that is has calmed down a bit I have started using it again and my skin feels great.

Great input. I have really sensitive skin so i didn't want to gamble on something this expensive.

Does anyone use the stronger brush on their body? I would like to buy the deep cleansing brush to use on my back instead of buying the Clarisonic Plus that has the body brush. In Canada there is a Pharmacy chain where you accumulate points for purchases and I have saved my points to use towards a Clarisonic

I think I will buy the Mia or Mia 2 because the body one retails for 265$ as
opposed to the other models that are a bit cheaper. Any recommendations about which to buy? Is it worth it to buy the Plus that has the body brush?

I don't know how I feel about this. I use it for a while, then stop and use it, then stop. It' a love/hate relationship.

I have both the Mia 2 and the Plus. I find that the normal brush head (best suited to very, very rough skin or men's skin) is too harsh for my face, but perfect for body. I used just the normal brush head as a body brush while I was on vacation and loved it as an alternative to the body brush. IMHO you don't really need the Plus unless you have very, very rough skin. :)

I felt the same way. I bought mine almost a year ago. All of the ladies in the Nordstroms fragrance and cosmetic dept. store me us:bigstar:e it and they ALL rave about it. They all looked fabulous by the way. I was hooked after a month. I can really see a difference in my skin. I also have the Opal for my eyes. I use both twwice a day. It is totally worth the investment. Trust me! I am soooooo glad that I purchased them.

I have used mine for about two years and use the acne prone brush. I never had purging or any breakouts from it. I think it has done wonders with my skin along with regular face masks and a natural skin care regime.

What type of mask do you use? I have been using Algenerist lately. I do like it. I had used Dr. Dennis Gross but I did not see a noticeable difference. However I do use DDG's facial cleansers, alapha beta peels, serums......etc.
 
i really want to try the clarisonic but i am so nervous! I am scared it will make my skin raw from so much abrasion.. maybe the sensitive brush will help with that?

No way. Not a chance. I do not find it abrasive at all. In fact, I use it twice a day. My skins glows. I hope you give it a try. I am 100% certain you will love it.

Hi Leah - I def think you should try it. I suggest that you start off using it once a day at night if you are nervous about any sensitivities. I did the same and now use mine twice a day. I absolutely love it! I started off with the normal brush head but now I use the deep pore brush head.

Finally got the Clarisonic and I am so happy that I did! I got the MIA and have been using the sensitive brush with the Clarisonic cleanser. My skin looks clear and feels so smooth. A must-buy!

Glad to hear that you love it. I got the Mia 2. I'm thinking about getting the Mia 3. I use mine twice a day. It works ladies and is worth the investment.
