Hi All,

I think this is similiar to Clarisonic but available in UK, would be interested to know if anyone has any feedback?

Thanks, as always.

Looks like a very similar device to the Clarisonic - tempted to get one.

£69.99 on Amazon and Ebay plus p&p.

I am still waiting on mine from QVC, they have the worst customer service I have ever come across - they made a complete mess of my order.

Zelda - Happy New Year and keeping my fingers crossed for you and hope QVC hurry up.

Well the Prozone brush arrived today - another gadget to unwrap.

I bought it from Amazon in the UK for £79.99

Details at:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002ZHDCPG/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=471057153&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B002ZHDIT6&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=1F0E25J7ZBSG8KRPZHPY

In summary:

It looks like a clarisonic -

There are three brushes - sensitive - for those delicate ones amoungst inlcluding moi Laughing

- a normal brush for the tougher ones - I will give that to Simon Confused

and a body brush.

The first thing is the unit is well made and has 4 settings - low/medium/high and pulse.

It comes with a mains charger.

The replacement brushes are:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Prozone-Cleansing-System-Replacement-Heads/dp/B002ZHDIT6/ref=pd_sim_ce_1

£9.99 a set which is three brushes.

It takes 15 hours to charge and runs for 30 minutes on a full charge.

The unit is water proof and can be used in the shower/bath.

It feels very powerful and on the pulse setting you could knock your teeth out if you are not an experienced brush user like us lot on EDS Laughing

Off for bath time with my trusty duck and new brush.

Happy scrubbing!

Delighted with the results, worked well in the shower, brushes are strong and bristles will last at least 3 - 4 months.

I would say comparing the two products this is a good alternative to the Clarisonic and it is £100.00 cheaper.

Really love this device - 10 out of 10.

You need to do an initial charge for 24 hours - which makes a huge difference to the lifetime of the battery.

Hi Zelda & Philip,
I've been facial dry brushing with a Japanese wooden brush for a month and like the results so decided to buy a gadget (as you do). And today I received my TreSonics Facial Cleansing System - it's said to be very similar to the Clarisonic. QVC sell it for £35 but I got mine on Ebay for £11.50.

Pros: It has 4 attachments; sensitive brush, normal (but still reasonably soft) brush, a firm sponge thing callled Deep Hydration Applicator, a deep tissue facial massage plus you can use the attachment base on its own as a smooth vibrating massage.

Cons: It runs on batteries.

It looks well made and it's fool-proof. I'll be using the brushes for dry-brushing rather than cleansing (although I'm keen to hear how you both get on using yours as a cleansing tool). Also love the massage effect of the base as well.

Great, cheap, multi-tasking gadget and another option if the Clarisonic is out of your budget. Smile

This is Miranda - I love my Tresonic - I am not sure if Zelda's machine has - I know she was waiting for QVC to deliver.

The great thing I like a bout the Tresonic over the Prozone - is the pad to apply products - it is great - I use it for all sort of creams, but I have started to use one of the brushes just for dry brushing and I love it. The other great thing about the Tresonic over other brushes is the massage head - I have just had Sculptra injected into my cheeks and you have to massage your face twice a day for 5 mins - I am using the Tresonic with massage attachment and I am going to build this into my regime - it makes your skin glow and healthy.

I am using rechargeable batteries to cut costs with the Tresonic.

I am not sure if it is fully water proof but I have used it in the bath and it don't go bang Smile

I suppose if things get really bad I could use it to clear snow from our path Smile

This gadget really does multi-task! Laughing

You're a knowledgeable man - what's a good product to protect against the extreme cold weather conditions that I'm faced with here in South Kensington (this sounds ridiculous when you see what Moscow has to put up with but it feels like the N. Pole here and I'm a wuss).

OMG, I just looked at the TreSonic and it reminded me of something that has been in the bottom of a drawer for ages.

OK, so PhotoQueen, how do the clarisonic and Prozone compare in terms of build quality? You see, I really did love my Clarisonic (I even offered a £50 reward for it's return), but I'm too skint to get a new one.

Also how are the brushes in terms of even softness? bear in mind I don't have a bloke's thick skin!

I have not had a clarisonic - but have had a look at one in space nk - I think they are both well made.

The soft brush is very very soft - lovely!

Photoqueen- I'm wondering where do you get your replacement heads for the tresonics? I can't see them anywhere and not on QVC which makes me hesitate to buy it since I'd have to buy the whole thing again every 3 months since it says they are good for 90 days Confused

The brushes come in 3 option, Normal 432658, Sensitive 432657 and Foamer 432656. These are the only options available search by product number on the QVC website.

Thanks PQ! - QVC is currently out of stock of them all(I typed in those codes) which is probably why I didn't think they were available anywhere. Hopefully it's temporary Smile
