Refreshing!
I was sceptical of this product, but after buying it and using it consistently, I can saw with certainty that it's one of my beauty tool box staples. The price tag is a bit ludicrous (I'm sure knockoffs would do just as good of a job), and save money by buying the dupe brush heads off EBay. And don't, whatever you do, leave it for long periods of time in the shower... It'll mould.
I really like this brush, but I don't think I would use it 2x a day on my skin. When I use it after a stint of not using it I seem to break out more, but then my skin calms down after a few days. I also really like that I can take it in the shower as it's completely waterproof.
I received this product as a Christmas gift along with the deep pore and sensitive brush heads. Initially, I found myself using it on a daily basis. If you enjoy the feeling of a squeaky clean face then this product is ideal for you. It is very effective at cleaning dirt, oil, and makeup off your face. I don't have severe issues with acne so I can't say how effective it is at clearing pimples. However, I do suffer from the occasional breakouts (mainly due to hormonal causes) and I find that using the Clarisonic during these times healed the pimples more quickly probably due to facial oils being cleansed more effectively.
Since receiving it, I found I don't use the product as much, not because I don't like it or don't find it effective but because I don't find it necessary to use it that often. Using it everyday actually dried out my skin so I have resorted to only using it once or twice a week or when my skin starts to look dull and my pores become more prominent.
The benefit of the Clarisonic is that you can use pretty much any cleanser with it. It cleans gently. You only have to press it lightly on the surface of the skin and it does the job for you. There is no need to excessively scrub your face. The battery lasted about 2 weeks when I used it on a daily basis. It lasted longer when I resorted to using only twice a week. I really liked the deep pore brush head - I found it to be very gentle on the face compared to the sensitive brush head.
I would probably buy this product on my own but would definitely get it when they have a sale because it is a bit pricey, even the brush heads. But so far I have really enjoyed using it and will definitely continue to be a part of the skin care routine.
I love the results I get from my clarisonic, however I don't think it's worth the price. It might be worth it for someone that uses it daily, but for my skin type I don't use it more than once or twice a week. When I do use it, my skin feels amazing and it really cleans out your pores.
After purchasing the MIA 2, I was excited to start incorporating it into my skincare regime. However, after the first few uses I noticed that I started to break out EXCESSIVELY on my forehead and on my cheek area.. This was pretty bizarre for me since I rarely do experience break outs. My skin is rather oily, and I did find that the device was able to control oil, but the brush head was too rough on my skin, being the cause of the breakouts. If you have very sensitive skin like I do, I do not recommend using this device. Even the "sensitive" brush head seemed to tough on my skin. I have discontinued using the device for now.
Bought this in hopes of using it daily to help clear up uneven skin tones and blotches. I also had pretty acne that I wanted to get rid of. The first 2 weeks of using my clarisonic I experienced break outs all over my face, but after reading other people's reviews, it looked like that was pretty normal. The month following, I noticed a dramatic difference in my overall skin - just smoother in general and less clogged pores. This thing is made of quality but the battery life is a little short (I have to charge it every week). I would definitely recommend to buy the authentic brush heads as that makes all the difference.
I don’t think I have anything bad to say about this product. It is so easy to use and I even have a travel case to take it on the road. I use it once a day after I take off my make-up and I feel super squeaky clean after. Since I use it once a day, the website says to replace the brush head every six months. I’ve heard the unit itself has (about) a 5 year life. I don’t think that’s a big deal - nothing battery powered lasts forever. I think it’s worth every penny. Can’t put a price on clean skin!
This is a nice tool to pamper your skin with, but quite frankly, I don't think the end result justify the cost to buy and maintain this thing.
I love that it's waterproof and safe to use in the shower, but you have to take it out and dry it every day to keep it from smelling funny. I'll stick with my $5 konjac sponge thanks.
I find my clarisonic very useful. I find it really makes my skin feel clean and when I have a pimple using my cleansing product with my clarisonic helps with the product's effectivness. However the result really depends on the brush head you are using. When using the Deep Pore brush I found my skin was way to dry, so i will recommend a softer brush.
Usually after using the Clarisonic, you're skin pulls out all the impurities and supposedly your skin is supposed to transform. After using it my skin became more sensitve and broke me out often.
