Not a miracle worker but a good product. I have seen a definite improvement in my skin - I thought my skin was drier than it actually is. turns out I just needed better exfoliation. since using the brush, my face is softer and I use far less product (moisturizer sinks in, takes less to feel hydrated - though it is summer) We will see how this does in the winter. I haven`t seen any other massive changes in my skin though it has only been about 1 month.
Pros: Exfoliates well

Ireally like the product. This website was the cheapest I found while researching the product.
Cons: I don't really like the cleansers itcame with as much.

I like this cleaner, don`t know if I love it yet, I have had it for less than a month, and although it cleans your face, the bristles build up with the makeup that was on your face (like foundation etc). So I don`t know if I am dirtying my face every time I choose to cleanse it, because of the color of the bristles.
Will have to look into it.
Pros: Does make your skin feel smoother
Cons: The bristles get dirty from your makeup and remain dirty, even after you try to clean any gunk on them from your make-up.

the appiance is easy to use and provides various levels of apprasion depending upon skin type. I use the gentle brush and cleanser. My face feels wondeful and stimulated after using the brush and cleanser.
Pros: Ease of use and the gentle cleanser.
Cons: I wish I could program it differently. I don't need very much time in the t-zone, but need more time on the cheeks and neck.

Love this product. My skin feels softer and smoother than it ever has. In addition, the breakouts have cleared up.

Love it, it really cleans out the pores & makes my skin like porcelen!
Pros: Fast, Easy, Compact & it WORKS!!!!

Great product. I am extrememly happy with the condition of my face after using this product for about 3 weeks now. The deep lines on my forehead are less noticable and my face has been clearer for more consecutive days in months.
I feel like my face is softer, cleaner, and more supple. I highly recommend this product everyone/every skin type.
Also go the Clarisonic at askderm.com for the best price versus anywhere else. Shipping was longer, as the product was out of stock, but worth the wait - and ended up shipping for free. I`m also considering buying my husband his own brush...

Great Product!
Debbie (2/8/2010)
I have been using the Clarisonic for about a month now. My skin feels so clean and I no longer have to use abrasive exfoliating products on my face. I also got a brush for my son and his acne is clearing up. Great product!
Pros: Easy to use...the timer helps me spend a full minute cleansing.
Cons: A little pricey.
Carissa (1/24/2010)
Pros: I LOVE my clarisonic brush! I have wanted to buy one for some time. Finally, took the plunge and I am so happy I did. My skin feels and looks incredible. I have been using it nightly for about 3 weeks and can already tell a difference, my moisterizers and other products are working like they should.
Cons: Expensive, however; the BEST money I have spent on a product.

Pros: Brush cleans and exfoliates like magic, yet is gentle enough for my sensitive/combination skin.
Cons: Pricey

I have sensitive skin, capillaries that break easily, changes often cause breakouts, really very difficult skin. I`m getting older and liked the idea that the Clarisonic helped creams and anti-agers perform better, but I was skeptical that my skin would react well to it. I was worried for nothing! The Clarisonic is not only gentle and thorough, but feels like an invigorating face massage. After three weeks, my face looks and feels firmer. My skin is calm, clear and brighter. I use it only at night, on the high setting for 2 minutes. It works!
Pros: So gentle. Massaging. Wrinkle creams seem more effective.
Cons: I had to switch to a more gentle cleanser. Everything seems to work more strongly when you use this. The cleanser I used for years became drying when I used Clarisonic.
Della (7/11/2009)
I have been using the clarsonic for several weeks and already I feel my skin feels firmer and softer. It is amazing that with only 1 min. twice a day.....it could do so much. I would definitely recommend this product to my friends.
Pros: It is very gentle and I like the built in timer.

STAFF FAVORITE - I love this product. I have oily, sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts. Before purchasing this product my skin was a mess. Since purchasing the product two years ago I have used my Clarisonic Skin Care Brush once daily and it has really improved the texture and appearance of my skin. When I miss a day I can really feel and see the difference in my skin. There are a few things that I wished I had known when I purchased this product that I would like to pass on to you.
First, do not be surprised if you breakout when you first start using this product. This is common no matter what new product you try. In this particular case it is due to the fact that the brush is removing the build up of cells and debris on your skin’s surface and drawing the impurities that are deep in the skin to the surface so they can be removed. After a couple of weeks use I found that I was having fewer breakouts and that my skin looked smoother and had a much finer texture. I also feel that as I have continued to use this product the “crease” in the middle of my forehead is not as noticeable as it once was and that the fine lines that I had noticed here and there are no longer visible at all.
Another important thing I need to mention is that the Clarisonic Skin Care Brush is for all skin types but it is NOT recommended for people with severe acne. PLEASE do NOT use this product if you have acne pustules or open sores on your skin. If you have pustules or open sores on your skin and try to use this brush you may make the condition worse. When I have a particularly nasty blemish (which is rare) I do not use my brush because I don’t want to take the chance of “popping” the acne pustule and spreading the acne bacteria to other areas of my skin.
One of the features that I really like is that this product is fully adjustable. Between the brush heads, the oscillation strengths, and the various timer settings you have the opportunity to experiment with the options and find the combination works best for you. Believe me, the strongest brush combined with the strongest oscillation and longest setting is not the best way to get your skin in shape with this product. The fastest most effective way to get results is to find the combination that is most comfortable for your skin.
Finally, I found through trial and error that the cleanser I use really has an effect on the irritation that may occur. Before purchasing my Clarisonic Skin Care Brush I used foaming and/or gel cleansers. These products helped to break up the oils and control my breakouts. Unfortunately I learned that these same cleansers tended to be too harsh and drying when I used them with the Clarisonic brush.
Over the past two years I have tried quite a variety of cleansers with the brush and have finally figured out that if I use a little bit heavier cleanser like the DCL Wash Off Cleansing Lotion (Item # 17019) my skin does not get irritated. Since my breakouts now seem more hormonally activated I alternate between the Wash Off Cleansing Lotion and SalAc (Item # 11207) during that time.
This is one of the best investments I ever made for my skin and I recommend that anyone wanting to improve their skin’s appearance try this product.

I love this product. I have very sensitive skin. This product does not irritate my skin at all. I use the brush twice a day. It has made my skin look so much more youthful. Thank you Clarisonic!!!
Janet C. (7/14/2006)
Both brush heads were too irritating to my skin. It dried out my face and made me break out.
Susan Tempo (4/27/2006)
