Hi redhead,
I have been using mine for about one week, every morning. The things I love about it still are that it is fast and leaves my skin super clean. I can actually see the brush get dirty from all it picks up. I don't think it is gentle enough to use twice a day, though. I use the senstive brush on the lowest setting. The only thing I changed was the cleanser. Although I like the cleanser it comes with, I found that with using my retin-A gel, and then the cleansing gel with water, my skin was getting waaaay too dry. Last night, I switched back to my PSF green tea cleanser, then followed up with jojoba oil while my skin was still wet. I woke up with perfect skin.  |

| I've totally been considering getting one of these things, but I worry about bacteria build-up over time. Any thoughts? |

| I usually wash mine out when I'm done using it but you also are supposed to change the heads every 3 months or so. |

I want one!!!!! I'm currently trying to rationalize it... I think I can afford it in a month or two.
So my question to those of you who use it: could I use this w/ my La Vitton cleanser? I'm using La Vitton Water Soluble Cleansing Oil for Oily skin currently and really like it--my skin has been clean, soft, and non-greasy (though I still have breakouts that I'm dealing with).
Or do I need a thicker more gel-y cleanser to use with it?
TIA |

| Care instruction from the manual: We recommend that the Clarisonic brush heads be repaced every 90 days.........Once a week, remove the brush head from the handle and rinse with warm soapy water to remove any residue. |

Just wanted to have a update from those who are using this product. Likes or dislikes! MMU gives it a 92% approval rating.
Thanks

| This might be the dumbest question ever, but wouldn´t consistent use of this be causing earlier wrinkling of the skin? |

Oh, and for someone who has no electrical insight: Is this only for use in US/Canada? Could one use one of those convertion-type-thingies (  )? |

I don't see why you couldn't use a converter, just like you would with any other electric device.
It would have to be an electrical converter though, not just a plug adaptor. |

Ah, thanks tularyn.
Has any international members tried this? |

Would this help with extremely congested skin? Is it any better than just using a regular facial cleansing brush?
Thanks! |

| One more question--- has anyone who has been using this seen a reduction of those pesky blackheads? |

| To anyone who's used this for a few months, have you had to change the brush every 90 days as recommended? |

I used to have little bumps aroung / under my chin line and after using Clarisonic Brush for few weeks, it's almost 100% clear now.
I use the brush once a day, 1 min setting. After 1 min I turn on the brush again and use 20 sec along my chin line. |

| I've been using this for over a week and unfortunately I haven't noticed results. After I use it I still have to scrub the top layer of dead skin cells away. Maybe I'm using it wrong? I'll try the "regular" brush next time and report back. |

| I have been using my brush for 16 days. No change in clogged pores. I am planning to give it a full 30 days and hopefully will be seeing less blackheads. |

mtview, can you post an update, please? I'm curious about how you are making out.  |

Hi Lolli,
I am on day 25 and pores are still clogged and blackheads remain. I am going to give it til the end of the month. Unless I see some miracles with my pores, I am going to return it  |

| Oh, Mtview, that's too bad! Good thing you can return it. Has it made any improvements for you? You can't exfoliate with scrubs or chemicals, right? |

| Well mine was returned. It worked ok during the day in the shower but at night it was hard to use because of the washing my sink got all wet. It really did nothing exceptional for my face although I do not have congestion or blackheads. I did get the Sheshido brush and that works just as well and I also found that my skin was getting red from the Clarisonic. |

| I switched to the regular brush and am getting much better results. I no longer have that top layer of flaky skin to scrub away. I've also noticed that my OCM removes less clogged pores lately. Overall it seems to be working but I have't noticed an improvement in my pores yet. I think my skin improvement is a combination of this product plus the other items I'm using. |

On good days it makes my face feels smooth, and on bad days it is sort of drying my face out I am using the sensitive head once a day.
I can't exfoliate with scrubs so I have been using a baby washcloth. I do use retinoid to help exfoliate and bha on my nose only.
I am glad I can return it. I already of a list of products that I want to try with my refund  |

Hi mtnview, I found that the clarisonic dried my skin out as well, when I used their gel cleanser. I finally found a routine that works for me now.
Wet skin, work in yonka gel cleanser (this is a makeup remover/cleanser with castor oil that I treat like OCM, and it foams slightly). I leave the gel on and then do the clarisonic with a wet brush. Then I steam my pores for a few seconds with a hot washcloth and use it to wipe off the remaining cleanser. I don't even have to splash rinse afterwards. HTH |
