Clarisonic skin care cleansing brush for the face is made by the same company who brought us the sonicare toothbrush. And those folks are very reputable.

Why did I buy the Clarisonic Cleansing Brush?

I am in my mid 40s and I have been noticing galore fine lines on my face. Also my skin was a bit uneven (dry in some places and oily in others) even even though I washed it night and day and even employed tame scrubbing exfoliants on my face in the shower each day.

So on a visit to my dermatologist, his assistant was raving regarding the Clarisonic Pro. This assistant was 50 years old with perfectly glowing skin! She told me the most inexpensive place to get the scheme and it wasn’t at that doctor’s office! I actually cherished her personal review and her helpful hint to get it at a lower cost.

So what does the Clarisonic Cleansing system do that has made me addicted to using it night and day?

The system has a cleansing brush that is so tame on my skin – yet it cleans and exfoliates so much more exhaustively than when I formerly washed my face using cleanser, water and my hands.

It is waterproof and may be applied in the shower, in the bathtub and at the sink. You may also custommake the settings so you get precisely the level of exfoliation and tame cleansing that is perfective for your face. They even have a “spa” setting that will give similar results to microdermabrasion if that is what you want.

My skin is cleaner, all the makeup is removed, and then when I put on any productions they are absorbed much better into my skin so I may use less of them and get a better result.

The best way I may describe the Clarisonic is that gives my face and neck a mini-massage that unclogs my pores, cleans my skin gently but thoroughly, and reveals much softer, younger looking skin on my face and neck.

I receive so a good deal of compliments on my complexion after using this system. And I scarcely wear any makeup any more – my glowing skin looks outstanding sufficient naturally.

The best percentage with regards to this scheme is the cash back guarantee. You may try it and if you don’t like it – you may return it. Although I bet you won’t want to give it up. I sure won’t!

Works very well, compact and space saving
By pistachiko
I like the Mia for it’s smaller size and portability. My sister has the Clarisonic Plus, but I am much more frugal than she is so I bought the Mia for the better price tag. There are some considerable differences between the 2 products, here are a few:

1) One cycle runs for 1 minute then turns off on the Mia. You are able to set the cycle for the Plus for 1 or 2 minutes. Additionally, the Plus beeps when you are supposed to move to a different area of your face. You can always just run the cycle again on the Mia if it’s not long enough though.

2) The Mia is smaller, though the brushhead is the same diameter. The Mia is also much lighter than the Plus.

3) The Mia has a powercord (attaches magnetically to the unit and is waterproof where it attaches), the Plus has a cradle.

4) You cannot use the body brush with the Mia (biggest disadvantage for me, as I didn’t realize this when I purchased it).

All in all, if you are just planning to use the brush to cleanse your face and don’t need the body brush, then I think the difference between the two doesn’t warrant the large hike in price.

Clarisonic Mia – review for acne
By Verruca
Summary:

My skin problems probably aren’t going to be resolved by anything short of prescription medication, so all I expected from the Mia was thorough cleaning and maybe some help with blackheads. The Mia’s more than met those expectations. I’ll be replacing it if/when it stops working and I definitely recommend it if you have the money – but don’t expect miracles for severe acne.

Details:

I’m Asian (Filipino/Chinese) with a medium-olive skin tone. I consider my skin to be fairly strong – toners and AHA products tingle slightly but don’t hurt, and I don’t have any fine lines or wrinkles at age 38. My skin’s very oily and there’s a lot of hyperpigmentation. I have severe adult-onset acne due to hormone imbalance – milia on my chin, blackheads on my nose, cystic acne frequently on my cheeks and jawline and infrequently on my forehead (gets worse based on my monthly cycle), and infrequent whiteheads anywhere.

My current skin care regimen is Murad at night and a mild bead-type exfoliator during my morning shower, but I’m not very good at sticking to it – usually I use the Mia in the shower and just remove my makeup at night.

I’ve been using the Mia since mid-July more or less once a day, every time I wash my face. Here’s what I’ve noticed:

- My skin is still oily – in fact, it almost seems like it’s *more* oily because the pores are clearer. Not an issue for me since I discovered Urban Decay’s Deslick in a Tube (highly recommended if you have very oily skin!)

- My pores are much less apparent, especially when I’m wearing makeup. Without makeup they still look pretty big to me, but I’m in the habit of studying my face in the mirror from two inches away. I’m comfortable that they’re clear and not visible to others, especially if I blot or otherwise manage the oil.

- No or slight effect on hyperpigmentation – some darkening has faded, but it tends to fade for me over a few months anyway.

- No effect on the cystic acne.

- No effect on whitehead frequency or severity.

- The milia, which had persisted for months regardless of treatments, creams, and scrubs, are much reduced, both in appearance and amount. I can still see some bumps, but they’re not white, and my chin is smoother. I don’t feel like a casual observer would notice anything. This was unexpected and AWESOME – all of my reading about milia led me to believe that they couldn’t be removed by anything short of a visit to a professional, so I’d pretty much resigned myself to just dealing with it for a while.

- The blackheads are gone. In the past I had cleared and prevented blackheads with a weekly Biore strip, an overnight mask applied to my nose every other night (every night was too drying), and scrubbing with an exfoliator in the morning. Using the Mia has pretty much eliminated the blackhead issue entirely.

I like the Mia a lot – my skin feels cleaner and smoother in the areas I’m not prone to blemishes. It feels sturdy & comfortable to use. Like other reviewers, I’d be happier if it paused every ten or twenty seconds to help with timing the cleaning. That feature’s available with the larger Clarisonic, but frankly I don’t really want anything larger than the Mia. I’ve had no problems with recharging the Mia only weekly.

If you decide to purchase, I’d recommend picking up some makeup remover wipes as well; it’s alarming how dirty the brush looks when it’s covered with foundation, and I got paranoid that all the makeup on the brush wasn’t letting the Mia get my face really clean and ended up washing my face a second time.

Pleasantly surprised
By Nena
I received this as a gift and was skeptical it would be worth its price. I saw significant change in the tone and clarity of my skin in less than a month. The clincher was when others complimented my skin, unprompted. I was also hesitant to add yet another step to my skin care routine but it’s very quick and easy. I would recommend it to anyone thinking about purchasing this.
