Clarisonic Review: Clarisonic Skincare Brush

Monday, October 25th, 2010 at 1:39 pm

I had to post this Clarisonic review as soon as possible since I have had the most amazing results from it. After being advised by a salesman in Nordstrom, I recently purchased the Clarisonic Skincare Brush Set for both my son and daughter to use for their acne. I bought the smallest one, the Mia, since it was both the cheapest and it seemed to be all that was needed.

The Clarisonic Mia is the smallest of the different Clarisonic skincare brushes. It was originally meant for travel, but I see no reason why it can’t be used for every day. This is especially true since we already have plenty of junk by the sink. Who needs more clunky items to crowd up the space? Anyway, the one speed that the Mia offers is plenty, unless you have tough skin. Most people with acne, however, have quite sensitive skin.

The beauty of this device is that it gently cleans out the pores far more effectively than washing by hand. It is also much more gently than any wash cloth or scrub. My daughter has extremely sensitive skin and is not having any problem with added irritation. In fact, it is reducing her little blackheads and whiteheads significantly. For my son, the benefits are going to take longer. However, after only a few uses I can see that the blackheads are going away along with some of the flakiness from overusing his acne medicines.

According to an article on About.com,

The Clarisonic Skincare Brush Set is one of those rare products that is beloved by most everyone who tries it. Basically a tool for cleansing the face, you use the Clarisonic with your favorite cleanser to deep clean your pores. A great exfoliator, but with a hefty pricetag (up to $200).

I bought mine for only $149, but I could just kick myself. Now I see it online at Skinstore.com for the same price, but with a 20% discount. They have the more expensive versions also, with multiple speeds. They also do a regular 10% off and free shipping for orders over $49. Oh well, I’ll know better next time.

Just a couple tips on using the Clarisonic:

Put your cleanser directly on the brush
Don’t press hard on your skin – let the brush do the work
You really only need about a minute to clean your skin. More time might cause some irritation
Try it with your own cleanser first before trying the one that comes with it

Give it a try. I hope you get as good results as we did. Worst case scenario is that you return it. The Clarisonic has a 60 day guarantee.

Best of luck!

P.S. Definitely go to Skinstore.com and get the discount to save up to $30 on it.

P.P.S. My rationalization for buying the Clarisonic is that it is a LOT cheaper than going for a facial, or even a few more trips to the dermatologist!
