I love this product, I use it daily before bed. It leaves my face nice and smooth and clean
I bought a Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush on sale, so I got it at a good price. It works well and I have less black spots and pimples since I use it. My skin is in better shape.
I felt like I need the motor to be stronger. Gave me a mild cleansing. I do enjoy using it over a regular face cloth.
This product works ok. But I found it was rough on my skin and didn't leave me feeling fully satisfied
This is one of the systems I used before I invested in my fantastic Clairisonic , pink. This is an okay product that I found didn't get deep down clean and the bristles on the brushes aren't as soft either.
I have been using the Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush for about a month now and I love it. This is the first such product I have ever used as I do have Rosacea so I was afraid to use a brush. The consultant at the Bay Clinique counter also has Rosacea and said it would be o.k. for me to use it. I do feel my face is much cleaner and I have had less breakouts since using it. I read here one person said to take off your make-up before using the brush and I do feel that is a good idea and will do that from now on.
I have Rosacea, when I bought the system I asked if it was ok for people with Rosacea. I was told that it was gentle and would even do a better job than hand towel cleaning. No way ! My skins turns bright red and hurts when I use the brush. Tried using the softest brissles, no changes. Would recommend for a person with normal skin, but stay away if you have Rosacea.
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
Ok, so this was a big purchase for me. I had been looking at reviews for Clarisonic and Clinique for a while before I decided on the Clinique Sonic System. The price really pulled me in and of course, it's Clinique! Before the Sonic System I used drug store exfoliation pads that worked well and did the job, but I knew it was time for a serious investment. The Clinique Sonic System won me over, thanks to the Sales lady at The Bay Yorkdale too!
Side note: I was lucky to get the Foaming Facial Cleanser as a bonus for buying the Sonic System.
The brush itself has a great battery life, I use it twice daily and have yet to charge it after the initial charge. It's been THREE weeks!!! Amazing.
The brush head is gentle yet effective, as the white bristles are softer to the touch while the green give a little more roughness to the exfoliation process.
The brush vibrates, but you actually have to move it in a circular motion or up and down - different from the Clarisonic.
Overall, my face feels fresh and clean...and breakouts are few and far between.
