Thank you so much to ChickAdvisor for letting me be a part of such an exclusive review process!

SKIN STATS: Age = 31, dry and dehydrated

I'm going to be a bit of a devil's advocate here and not give this product 5 stars across the board. I am probably one of the few people chosen who also use the first generation Clarisonic Mia so I feel like I can accurately make a fair assesment between the two cleansing systems. I did not have a Clinique cleanser on hand, so I paired this brush with Philosophy's Purity 3 in 1 Cleanser.

THE GOOD
If you are not using ANY sort of brush cleansing system, using the Clinique cleasing brush will most certainly cause an improvement in your skin. The bristles are quite gentle, more gentle than the sensitive and delicate Clarisonic brush heads, so if you are looking for a more gentle daily cleanse, you will like the Clinique one.

The shape of the brush head is one of my favourite things about the Clinique cleansing brush. The slant at the top really makes it perfect for getting into hard to reach places like the crevices of your nose. The brush head is also antibacterial so you can rest assured that you won't be introducing bacteria back onto your face during every cleanse.

The handle of the machine is waterproof, lightweight and slim making this very comfortable to hold. The Clarisonic is heavier, but the handle is tapered in the middle where you would be holding it.

This holds a charge much better than the Clarisonic Mia,but I have a feeling this is because the timer 60s on the Clarisonic as opposed to 30s on the Clinique brush. One 24hr charge has lasted me just over 2 weeks now with everyday use of the Clinique brush. The earlier generation Clarisonics do not have charging docks.

The price is very affordable at just $95 compared to $180 for the entry level Clarisonic. The pricing on the Clarisonic is steep, so I do consider this a bit of an investment OR you can save up your Shoppers points and pick one up during Mega Redemption like I did!

THE NOT SO GOOD
The vibrating technology feels FAR BETTER in the Clarisonic. With the Clinique brush, you will notice that the WHOLE machine vibrates. In the Clarisonic, ONLY the brush head vibrates making it feel more powerful when placed on the skin. I had to press down a little bit with the Clinique brush to really feel a cleanse, but with the Clarisonic, you actually CANNOT press down because the head will stop vibrating. You can literally glide the brush over your skin. With the handle vibrating, that vibrational energy is getting lost by getting transferred into your arm. With the Clarisonic, since only the brush head vibrates, ALL of that vibrational energy is going into your face = more efficient cleanse.

For those that found the brush head of the Clinque brush not quite right, you are unfortunately currently stuck with it. Clarisonic has a variety of brush heads to match different skin types.

I find 30s too short to cleanse my face. I understand that all you have to do is press the button again, so it's not that big a deal, but I prefer the 60s timer on the Clarisonic Mia. Aria (Mia 3) also have adjustable timers.

Based on the vibrating technology alone, I will continue to stick to the Clarisonic as I feel like I am getting a much deeper and efficient cleanse, but that's just me. The Clinique price point is really quite affordable and to be honest, if you've never tried the Clarisonic, you wouldn't know what you were missing, but if budget is not a huge concern for you, I would put my money towards a Clarisonic.

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!

I was unbelievably grateful to be selected to try the Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush from ChickAdvisor.

This is my very first time ever trying a product like this. My skin type is combo, with a tendency towards breakouts each month, so I knew this product would either work really well or not at all for me.

The first few days I used this, I followed the directions and only used it once a day to get accustomed to the new cleaning routine. After a week I started using it 2x a day as I was experiencing significant improvement.

The major thing I was hoping for happened: My skin breakout cleared up and my skin felt cleaner, more even and held moisturizer much better. But another unexpected benefit was the teeny tiny bumps I've had FOR YEARS along my hairline/forehead were going away! After 2 weeks of using the product, they've completely vanished! My entire face is now bump/pimple/spot/acne free!! I strongly recommend investing in this product as it really does work.

I received the Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleansing Brush free as a member of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club.

I've never used a brush like this for cleaning my face. Years and years ago I used a manual facial brush to wash my face, but I haven't used that in over 10 years. I was a little worried that the Clinique Sonic System would be harsh on my skin as my skin is sometimes a bit sensitive. When I took the brush out of the package, I was surprised at how incredibly soft the bristles were. I put it on the charger for a full 24 hours before the first use, as per the instructions. While charging, there was an orange light that flashed very infrequently to indicate that it was still charging. Once charged, the light turned solid green. Since putting it on the charger (2 weeks ago), I haven't needed to charge it again.

The instructions said to start with a 30 second cleansing once a day at first and to build up to using it for a full minute twice a day. Maybe it was because it was my first time using a brush system like this, but there was no way I could wash my whole face in just 30 seconds the first few times. I found I was taking at least a full minute to get the brush around my whole face. This was especially true when I was using it in the evenings to remove my makeup. I started using it twice a day after 3 or 4 days, and found I was able to get more efficient with it and get my whole face clean in 45 seconds to 1 minute. Despite needing to use it for more than the recommended time for new users, I didn't find that it irritated my skin. The green angled tip was great for my forehead, nose, and chin. I also used the green angled tip on any rough patches of my skin (along the jaw line for me). I was really impressed at how clean my skin felt after using the Clinique Sonic System. It removed my make up really well, and once I started using it in the mornings too, it was great for prepping my skin for the serum and moisturizer that I use.

For a facial cleanser, I just use a bar of Baby Dove Sensitive so I wasn't able to just easily squeeze cleanser onto the brush. I found that I could rub the bar of Dove onto the wet brush head until it was foamy, and that worked really well.

After using this brush twice a day for a couple of weeks, my skin feels softer and looks cleaner. I found that at first it was pulling up a lot of impurities from my skin (gross but awesome), and once those impurities had made their way to the surface, the overall condition of my skin improved. I felt like my night gel, serum, and moisturizer absorbed better after cleansing my face with the Clinique Sonic System.

I loved that I didn't have to charge it every day, and that I could take it into the shower with me. It's so convenient to be able to wash my face in the shower rather than having to take the time to do this at the sink. The only thing I would like it to have is a spare brush head (a second one). For $95 I think it should include two brush heads instead of just one, especially since new brush heads cost $26 US (and are not currently available for purchase online on Clinique's Canadian website).

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product to a friend.

I was lucky enough to be selected to receive this product at no charge to review from Chick Advisor's product review club!

This made my face feel amazing . This is the first time I have ever used a cleansing brush and I found it cleaned my face way better then just using my hands.
I had no issues with sensitive skin.

I was luckily chosen by Chickadvisor to try out the Clinique Sonic System Purifying Cleaning Brush. I've always wanted to try one of these, but the ones out in the market, like Clarisonic is way too pricey. Clinique's version is definitely a good deal. The product comes nicely packaged with a product manual and charger. I tried the product with the Clinique face soap and used it for 60 seconds in the shower. Unfortunately, my skin is rather sensitive and my face began to break out and feel tingly after using it. I think that the bristles on the brush might be too harsh on my face. It felt really good while using it and I felt that my skin was clean, but sensitive skin doesn't always go well with these products. However, I let my sister use it and she has normal skin, and she enjoyed the product a lot. I guess if you have normal skin, then it does the job of cleansing without breaking out your skin.

Oh MY GOODNESS-I can't say enough good things about this product. I go through my 'phases' with Clinique-sometimes I'm all over them and other times I'm all 'Meh-whatever.' This brush has given me a reason to go back. I haven't had enough experience with a Clarisonic to compare so I won't go that far BUT I will dare to say this is the cleanest my skin has ever felt.

I used this product along with my Vichy Normaderm cleanser. I contemplated going out and getting the Clinique cleanser but I love my Vichy Normaderm. I have oily skin and wear BB cream/face makeup daily so at night it's important for me to get that makeup off my face. This brush isn't harsh, the bristles are soft and vibrate quickly. There is a timer on the brush and it shuts itself off. I usually go through 2 cycles with it. The brush isn't heavy, is comfortable in my hand. It took a bit to charge after getting it out of the box but I can use it for about 3 days before I think about recharging it.


I only use this brush at night-as I feel that's when I need a more 'thorough' clean. In the morning, I rinse my face with water -that's the extent of the a.m. cleanse, then add moisturizer/sunscreen. Good times.

Would I purchase this brush? Absolutely-especially if you really want to ensure your face is clean!

I was so happy I was one of the lucky ones who got chosen to review this Cleansing Brush System. I loved how easy it is to use the brush. It works on a charge, so no annoying long-cord. I loved using it in the shower to exfoliate my skin. I has a nice light vibrating motion which is perfect for my sensitive skin. This brush doesn't do any deep cleansing or exfoliating, but that's exactly what I like best about it. I hate the harsh cleansing brushes out there, that leave your skin red and irritated. I would definitely recommend this brush system to a friend!
