Clinique Sonic System is totally different than my Clarisonic, First up, its swiss-engineered oval brush head and ergonomic handle are truly unique. The oval brush head tilts for targeted cleansing, allowing you to focus and reach problem, and hard to reach areas, like the nose and chin. The handle fits perfectly into the palm of your hand with a comfortable grip. Its compact design makes it perfect for traveling, while its waterproof design allows you to cleanse your skin in the shower, safely. It features two speeds, allowing for personalization with a built in timer that automatically turns off after 30 seconds. It also contains 2 different bristles that target different areas of your face. The light green bristles are firmer, rougher and shorter to help deeply cleanse the T-zone where oil production and clogging occur in the pores. The white bristles are softer for an all-over cleanse on more sensitive spots like the cheeks. The sonic vibrations gently massage the skin, loosening stubborn dirt and oil and is tolerable for even the most sensitive skin.
I’m in love with the Clinique Sonic System cleansing brush. It fits the contours of my face beautifully and gets into all the crevices that the Clarisonic cannot. It does take some time to get used to, as I was confused on where to place the green and white bristles properly on each section of my face. I quickly learned that the brush head tilts up and down, depending on how you hold it, making it fairly easy to place the bristles in the correct spots. The small green section is definitely harsher than any other brush I’ve used, but it’s perfect for getting deep, down into pores and clearing up those pesky blackheads. Another added bonus is a single charge has a life battery of 3 hours without having to recharge. I’ve been using this device for over 3 weeks now, without having to charge. My Clarisonic has to be charged weekly, again, making this the perfect travel companion (no need to bring a charger). I guess the only thing I like better on the Clarisonic is the timer. As much as I appreciate the self-timer of 30 seconds, which is the perfect amount of time for beginners, I find it somewhat annoying for those that are already comfortable with a minute to a minute and a half session.
The Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush does everything I’d expect it to do. It helps me remove makeup, dirt and oil, a lot easier and more efficient than my hands alone, which results in fewer build ups on the skin that can cause blackheads, blemishes and dullness. It still only takes a minute a day to remove all impurities from the skin and pores, yet is gentle enough to use twice a day. Like all cleansing systems, don’t worry if you see more breakouts than normal your first few weeks, it’s just your skin getting used to the system and bringing all the dirt and oil to the surface. Remember to remove all makeup before you start, I find this just helps to keep your brush cleaner and more hygienic. Skin will instantly look smoother within the first clean, within a few short days, you’ll experience a healthy radiant glow and with continued use
What a great experience with ChickAdvisor and Clinique. When I first received my brush it was not functioning properly. I emailed the girls at ChickAdvisor, who quickly touched based with the Clinique team and sent me a new one (along with a lovely Thank You/Apology note). That is amazing consumer communication.
I love my Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush. My face feels so smooth and clean after using. I have paired it with my Clinique foaming acne face wash, and it works wonders!
I totally love my Clinique Sonic Cleansing brush! After using it for 2 weeks, my skin feels softer, smoother and looks clearer. Even better, I don't have to wear as much foundation and coverup to hide any blemishes because there is none! The vicious circle of heavy foundation that causes breakouts, that leads to more makeup is over and I have to thank the Clinique Sonic System for that.
I love the design of the brush head, because it allows you to use the firm green bristles on my T-zone, really getting into the pores. The handle is also very sleek and light to use and travel with. It also fits nicely into my shower caddy for convenient use. One of ht major things I love about this brush head is that because it uses sonic movement it allows me to use cleansers with micro beads. That way I don't have to worry that the micro beads won't get into the mechanism.
The only downside I find is that I tend to using the brush for more than 30 seconds, so the automatic shut off doesn't work that great for me. Really, I'm knit picking for a downside though.
So I was one of the lucky ones that had a chance to test this product out. I have fairly sensitive skin at times, so I have been using once a day.
What can I say, the true proof of this product came this weekend. I ventured out of the house bare faced, not a usual for me. (Usually, my low key days still require a BB to even out my skin and help hide my HUGE pores). My skin has been looking smoother, brighter and my pores are disappearing. Another plus, I am using less product on my face. A little bit of serum and moisturizer go such a long way! And same for the days when I use a BB or foundation. I am also finding my make-up lasts longer throughout the day.
About the actual Cleansing Brush, its comfortable to use, love the 30 second shut off so I don't overscrub. I have charged it fully ONCE since I received it and it is still going strong two weeks later. It's light and waterproof as well, which means I have taken my cleansing routine into the shower. Saves so much time!!!
I am so happy I got to try out this product and look forward to continued results.
I lucked out and got to try the Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush for free as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.
I wear a fair bit of makeup on a regular basis and I generally need to scrub my face when I wash it to get it all off. However, I realized what I have been missing – a Purifying Cleansing Brush like this new one from Clinique. I have high expectations for the Clinique brand in general and this brush exceeded my expectations. I can still not get over how effective the Purifying Cleansing Brush was at removing my makeup. Even when using it without any facial cleanser it would take off heavy eyeliner and all my face make up in a matter of seconds.
Once my makeup is removed the brush gives an excellent skin exfoliation with the two toned brush leaving my skin feeling soft, smooth, and super clean. I liked the size of Brush and that I could take it into the shower with me. The charge lasts and the brush seems to be holding up well with daily use. I have fairly sensitive skin and I had no problem with the Purifying Cleansing Brush – I plan to keep using it on a very regular basis.
I have never used an electric cleansing brush like this one and I am really impressed with how well it works. Compared to a normal exfoliating scrub the brush is much more effective, easier on my skin and still produces the desired results. I would definitely recommend the Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush to friends – even those with more sensitive skin would be able to use and benefit from the Brush.
I was sent this product to test and review for Chick Advisor a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't open the packaging fast enough!
I have friends who use the Clairsonic Mia and swear by it so I was really interested to see how Clinique's Sonic System would be for me.
First of all the design and size is lovely. Very simple and clean looking and small enough that if you were traveling, you could take it with you.
After using this brush for 2 weeks, I noticed great improvements in my skin! It really does deeply clean the pores which can sometimes be tricky when using a regular exfoliating product.
My skin also glows way more than before and my complexion has become a lot more even. I have very combination skin and quite a few acne scars so these changes in my skin are really impressive for me.
Another thing that I noticed is that my skin is way softer and doesn't dry out as fast. I have problems with having really dry cheeks but since using this cleansing brush, the dryness has gone down dramatically!
The Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush retails for approx. $95 which is pretty pretty reasonable considering how long lasting this brush will be and how effective of a product it is!
I will definitely keep this as a staple in my skin care routine and recommend it to anyone looking to try something new in their routine!
I would be really interested in comparing this product with one such as one of the Clairsonic cleansing brushes as they are even pricier than this system!
I was amazed to have the opportunity to test out the Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush - thanks so much ChickAdvisor and Clinique!
Never having used a Cleansing Brush System before - I was the ultimate newbie! It took me a few times to feel comfortable handing the Cleansing Brush. The Clinique Cleansing Brush is very easy to hold on to and light weight. Also very easy to use to cleanse those hard to reach areas where angles are required. The unit was nice and quiet when operating. I found it did a simply amazing job when used with Clinique foam cleanser. My skin felt incredibly clean and not irritated at all. I started off using it once a day before bed and now use it both morning and night. Fresh, clear skin - what could be better! I think the Clinique Sonic System is simply one of the best cleansing systems a Chick can have!
Big thank you to ChickAdvisor and Clinique for the opportunity to try out the Sonic System Purifying Cleaning Brush and for free. I was so excited when I was chosen to try this product but also a bit nervous as I have very sensitive skin and was hoping that the product would not be wasted if it wasn't right for me.
All my fears came to an end when I received the product. I pulled it out of the box and first thing I did was touch the brush. I was surprised at how very soft it was and was no longer worried that it would be too rough on my skin.
I have been using the brush since the day I got but am using it only once a day and not twice as I do not want to over do it. I do use it a second time a day if I know I am going out and need to apply makeup. I am also using the product with Nivea gentle cleansing cream as I do not have any Clinique face wash at the moment but I am using the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion and I plan to buy a Clinique face wash when my Nivea is finished.
The brush works great at cleaning the face. I find that it removes any dry patches and leaves my skin feeling much softer. I noticed that my moisturizer seems to go on my skin better and absorbs into the skin better than without using this brush. For this reason I use the brush before makeup application as my makeup goes on better and does not leave that cakey and flaky feeling on my face.
When using the brush I find it very gentle on my face and it doesn't pull on my skin which is something that I was worried about. It leaves my skin feeling refreshed and I look forward to using it during the winter months when my skin needs that extra bit of help. I hope that with continued use I will see even more results.
Will update this review when I start using the brush with a Clinique face wash to let everyone know if the results are even better.
Again thank you to ChickAdvisor for this opportunity.
First of all, I would like to thank ChickAdvisor and Clinique for this amazing opportunity to try out the Sonic System Purifying Cleaning Brush for free.
I have been using this product for about 2 weeks now and I am impressed! I first started off using the brush twice a day with my Philosophy cleanser. I really noticed how gentle the bristles were on my face and how well it cleaned my face. After about 5 days of using it twice a day I noticed that it was a little to much for my face because it was making my face a little dry. I now use it once every day and since then I noticed the dryness going away. The brush itself has perfect spinning motion and not too fast. It gets rid of dead skin and gets down to the pores really well. I am surprised on how fast I noticed an improvement of my skin in only a couple of days. That is rare for me and that's why I am so excited about this new item in my skin care routine. The brush is really easy to hold and the brush is the perfect size to clean your face with. At first it was a little hard getting used to because I haven't used a face brush in a while but after reading the instructions and using it the past few weeks I am now comfortable with the brush and knowing how long to use it for. I use it for a minute as recommended in the guide which is plenty enough time to get the job done. I have noticed my face clearing up really well and a few compliments on how my skin looks from friends and family.
Before trying this out I was using a face scrub and a face cleanser daily and this product eliminated the use of my daily scrub. It has done over and above what my scrub has done for me. The brush reaches hard to reach areas easy and cleans a lot better than what my hands could do on its own. Over a year ago I had a brush similar to this one and it ended up breaking and I thought it was to harsh on my skin. I can honestly say that this product worked better than both those items mentioned above!
Overall, I highly recommend this to anyone who is in the market for a new cleansing brush and also those who want something that will help with current skincare routine. I honestly don't know how I have come this far without one of these in my life. It has made a difference in my skin but also how I feel about myself. I forgot to mention I have fairly sensitive skin and this did not irritate my skin at all (using once a day is perfect). I have already mentioned this product to some family and friends who are skincare fanatics like myself. It is something worth taking a look at! You will not be disappointed and it is also more affordable than other cleansing brushes in the market today!
