When I first set out to buy the Mia 2 after hearing about the rave review from my friend, the store that I went to didn't sell Clarisonic. Instead the salesperson recommended the Foreo Luna instead. Thrrefore I bought the Luna mini for $159 and it really does work. My pores are smaller and the face feels more thoroughly cleansed. However, in the back of my mind I was always wondering what could have been if I had bought the Mia 2. Thanks to Chickadvisor, my dream came true as they sent me a Mia 2 to review!

The Mia 2 came in an attractive lime green colour (and ther are other colours to choose from), rivaling the cuteness of my purple Luna mini. The Mia 2 is a bit bigger and doesn't stand on its own. I was initially worried about the harshness of the brush bristles but turned out I have no problem using it twice a day. I also read that you should not be applying much pressure on your face. After using the Mia 2 for two days with good results and without any side effects, I started using the Mia 2 on one half of my face and the Luna mini on the other half. Is has been almost a week and to be honest I could not see any difference on the 2 sides so far. So it seems like the two gadgets are similar in effectiveness in the short term. If anything happens in the future, I will update my review.

Since for me they work the same, I would recommend the Luna mini over the Mia 2. This is because the Luna mini doesn't need replacement brushes. Its silicon brush is hygienic and easy to wash. On the Mia 2, you ate supposed to change the brushhead every 3 months to prevent bacteria. So in addition to the $180 upfront cost, there is a substantial cost for maintenance. I found that the Mia 2 brush doesn't dry completely between uses. If money is not an issue, by all maens go for the Clarisonic to follow the big trend. In my opinion, another advantage os the Luna miniis that one charge lasts 450 uses, whereas the Mia 2 only lasts 24 uses.

I like this because I wear a lot of makeup and it gets it all off HOWEVER, I do not think this is any better than some of its lower priced competitors. I have the neutrogena wave & honestly it does as good of job as this does and its WAYYY cheaper. But it was free so I cant complain. :D

The Mia 2 out did my expectations. Within days of use I began feeling my skin soften, smoothen even the tone seems to be evening out.
I love that its a deep gentle clean. The head is washable & replaceable. Though the product might seem a bit expensive, it really is worth every penny.
The handy travel case and charger are easy to pack for any vacation or trip. The only downsize was the charge itself... over 12 hours for 24 mins of use, but oh those minutes are beautiful!

I received a lime green Clarisonic Mia 2 through the Chick Advisor Review Club. I had tried the original Clarisonic YEARS ago when they first came out but had a negative experience. The Clarisonic Mia 2 came with the unit, a charging cable, the Refreshing Gel cleanser and a "Gentle" brush head (white). From past experience I knew the gentle brush head was pretty harsh (I have extremely sensitive skin) but I gave it a try anyway and used the Refreshing Gel cleanser. This combination was WAY too harsh on my skin, felt super dry & tight after -- but no dead skin! The next day I purchased a "Delicate" brush head (blue) and tried again. Still too harsh. Instead of using it twice a day or even daily, over the past few weeks I realized I can only use it every other day. Also the Refreshing Gel cleanser would be better-suited to someone with oily skin as it can be very drying. I have extraordinarily sensitive skin but still get flakey patches, especially in the winter. I'm also prone to clogged pores (yay! makeup!). The Clarisonic Mia 2 does as it claims -- all the dead skin is gone and the makeup is completely gone. It was easy to use in the shower or at the sink. Just find a brush head, cleanser and frequency to suit your particular skin type/issue (everyone is different!).

I was lucky enough to be selected for the Chick Advisor Clarisonic Mia 2 Product Review Club. I had been thinking about purchasing the product before the review club offer, so this is an honest review from someone who was very interested in the product.

I have been using the Clairsonic for two weeks and I'm very impressed with the quality of my skin and the improvement I've seen since using the project. I have very dry sensitive skin. I am 29 and had never had a problem with acne or breakouts until about 6 months ago. My skin started to become very oily and I was getting a lot of white bumps around my chin and cheeks which would turn into acne. Not fun. I've been using the Clairsonic every day at night and find that my skin is noticeably smoother and the white bumps have started to go away. The exfoliation and cleaning power is better with the Clarisonic than with other high end exfoliator creams and cleansers I had been using every other day. I like that the brush has a timer so you know when to move on to a different part of your face. This is important, as you are tempted to really let the brush scrub your skin, but too long and my sensitive skin would not like it.

I tried the product with a cream cleanser and a gel cleanser and both worked well. I applied a small layer of cleanser directly to my face instead of on the brush head. I used the product for two weeks straight on only one charge. I've also done some travelling and the travel case it comes with is very convenient.

Overall I'm very impressed with the product. It is on the pricy side, but if you consider that you'd spend $30 on one exfoliator cream (which this replaces), it would pay for itself over time. I will keep using the Clarisonic - Thank you Chick Advisor!

I was one of the lucky gals who received a Clarisonic Mia 2 from Chickadvisor and Clarisonic, and for that I'm very grateful! This is a treat that I would not have been able to afford myself.

My only previous experience with a cleansing brush was with a $20 model that shook like crazy and threw water about. The bristles were too abrasive on my sensitive skin.

I received the Clarisonic Mia 2 in lime green with a sensitive brush head. It was like Christmas, opening up this gift, and I could hardly wait the 24 hours needed to charge it (but I did). I really like how the charger attaches to the unit - it's magnetized, which I'm sure assists in making it waterproof.

Using Mia 2 is very simple. I wet my face, apply some cleanser, then use the brush on the first setting. I think the key to using it is to resist the urge to push down on it - just let the brush glide across your skin and do its job. I've found the sensitive brush head to be surprisingly gentle on my skin, which is sensitive and suffers from mild to moderate acne. I can use it over breakouts and it doesn't seem to agitate them at all. The sensation of the sonic technology that Mia 2 uses is very gentle and soothing. The only problem I'm having using it is on my nose, where it tickles, lol!

Now to the best part - the clean! I can honestly say, my skin has never felt so clean and fresh! It felt like years of smoggy Toronto air had been lifted off my face. I can't get over how renewed my skin feels. At the age of 43, that's a pretty energizing feeling! The acne itself hasn't improved, but the pores on my nose have reduced in size and are clearing out. And, after 2 weeks of use, it's starting to help get rid of the keratosis pilaris that has invaded my jawline. I moisturize well after cleansing, and my skin feels soft and younger.

For my overall review I knocked off a star for the price of Mia 2, as I find it to be a bit excessive, but it does feel like it's a well made product and will hopefully have a lot of longevity to it. It feels like a luxury treat, like taking yourself to the spa every day, but much less expensive in the long run. I'm looking forward to doing regular masks with my face steamer, then cleansing with Mia 2. So pampering! If you're on the fence about buying one, I say go for it!

I received the Clarisonic Mia 2 to review for free as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club.

I love that they have a variety of colour to choose from (I love colourful things). The unit is very user friendly (no need to read a wordy manual before you know how to put things together and get to start). I really love the self-timer function as I hate to keep on watching a clock to time how much time I should stay on/to turn off the unit. Also, it only take very little time of my normal routine to use this unit.

I apply cleanser to my face and then put the unit (brush) to my face. I mostly spent time on my forehead and nose and jaw line area. I found that it did help me to improve the skin texture (softer) and minimize pores on those area. Also, I feel that it helps to absorb the serum and lotion that I apply after I did my cleansing. After a couple of weeks using the unit, I found that my skin looks brighter (when I look at myself in the mirror) and the skin seems more smooth and refresh. The unit has certainly help me to clean away all the dirt and dead skin which with its assistance, definitely better than I use my hands only to cleanse my face.

Even though the unit is not cheap, but I think it's definitely worth it. I would recommend the Clarisonic Mia 2 to my friends!

I received the Clarisonic Mia 2 as part of the Chick Advisor promotional initiative. I have to say that I absolutely LOVE the Mia 2. It's compact so it fits right perfectly into my hand. The brush is so soft on my skin, it glides across my face almost effortlessly. After a day of piling wood and cleaning the barn my skin felt and looked like leather, was so gritty and dirty. I came inside when the chores were done and used the Mia 2. My skin has NEVER felt so clean and refreshed ever. Radiant is one word that I would have never used to describe my skin or complexion but it is now. I have even noticed that I get less blemishes now. I will definitely be using the Mia 2 religiously from now on!!

LOVE it! It feels great, and exfoliates cleanses all in one. My skin has definitely improved since using this and definitely is smoother. You can also see the makeup that comes off onto the brush that otherwise gets left on your skin, showing that other products do not get all of the makeup off your skin.

Thank you SO MUCH ChickAdvisor HQ for selecting me to be apart of this Product Review campaign!!! :) I was so thrilled when I found out about this campaign! I have been looking at the Clarisonic for as long as I can remember, but lets face it, it's a little out of my budget for a facial cleansing system. When I received the Clarisonic Mia 2, the first thing I noticed was the colour! It came in a beautiful bright lime green. It's so easy to use and the precise 1 minute Pulsing T-Timer makes it even easier. The first time I used it, I neglected to read about it and was confused as to why it kept stopping, but after I took the time to read the manual I realized what was happening. The PLink charging system is SO COOL! It's like a little magnet that attached to the Clarisonic Mia 2 and continues to keep it waterproof! While its charging the buttons illuminate on and off. It takes about 18 hours for a full charge. A full charge is about 24 minutes of use. That seems like a lot, no? I've certainly noticed a change in my skin since starting to use the Clarisonic Mia 2; it's soft and bright and my pores look noticeably smaller. I've had less breakouts and my skin just looks better, healthier. I've personally been using the Mia 2 while in the shower; I find it less messy than just over the sink. I absolutely love this product. I will definitely continue to use the Clarisonic Mia 2. Thanks again ChickAdvisor!!!
