    I am 49, have oily skin, wear foundation or a tinted moisturizer every day and have used Retin-A for almost 20 years. Between my oily skin and Retin-A usage, my skin, particularly in the winter, was flaky. Even with Retin-A, my pores were sometimes congested, especially in the summer. I use the Clarisonic twice a day with Bliss Steep Clean Cleansing Milk and find that my pores are tighter, I no longer have to use exfoliators (which irritated my skin and seemed to make it oilier.) Even though I first remove my makeup with a facial cleansing towelette, the Clarisonic further cleanses my face as evidenced by the makeup that shows up on the brush after usage. Tip: Place the brush in the top drawer of your dishwasher about once a week to clean and sanitize. This works well for makeup brushes as too.

    Especially given the price, I've found this product to be wildly disappointing. I purchased the Clarisonic brush to stave off early signs of aging, and to improve the clarity and texture of my simultaneoulsy sensititve and mildly acne-prone skin. Within a few days of starting to use it, my skin started looking noticeably worse, with large whiteheads popping up all over. Since many skin care products seem to make skin look worse before they make it better, I stuck with it, and continued to use the Clarisonic for almost 3 months. Sadly, its performance on my skin never improved, and now I can no longer return it. I love my Sonicare toothbrush, but this product is a total rip-off.

        My skin has never felt better. It feels super clean and smooth after every use. I am 44 and look 10 years younger because of how clean and radiant my skin is. I love my Clarisonic and wouldn't trade it. It is 100% going to remain a part of my daily skin care ritual. I would recommend it to anyone.

        Comments about CLARISONIC Skin Care System, 1 ea:

        I purchased the Clarisonic system 3 + months ago. I have been battling adult acne for sometime. Did not have acne in my teens so this devistated me because I was not one to wear make up daily. I could wash and go and be confident that I looked fine when I left the house. I have been seeing a derm and been getting microderms for my acne. (used microderm in past for dark spots and worked wonders). Needless to say the acne was not clearing up as I had hoped it would and the money I was spending for the results I was getting was not exceptable to me. I figured " why not try this" and I did.
        I LOVE IT!!!! My face feels clean and refreshed. I use the sensitive brush twice a day and I have no problem with it irritating my very sensitive skin. I noticed an improvement not only in the acne clearing up but my pores decreased and my skin feels a lot smoother and has helped with decreasing the appearance of frown lines.
        If you are pondering this purchase "go for it." You are probably spending a fortune, like I was with face washes, derms, treatments, if you are considering this product. For me it was worth the $.

          Comments about CLARISONIC Skin Care System, 1 ea:

          I never thought spending this much money on a facial product would be that beneficial. But, my mother got me the clarisonic for Christmas a couple years ago, and I haven't been able to go a day without using it.

          I just keep it in my shower, and charge it maybe once every 2 weeks. The battery life really lasts! I change the head every 3 months. I like the Sensitive brush head the best - however I have not tried the Normal brush head yet (next time I will.) I tried the Delicate brush head once, and that was too soft. I typically have normal to dry skin.

          I had so many comments on my skin after I first starting using it. Everyone kept telling me my skin looked so smooth and soft. I had 3 people within a week ask me what I have been doing differently. I swear this product has diminished the appearance of my wrinkles & has smoothed out my skin tone.

          I have always used a microdermabrasion scrub on my face twice each week. However, once I started using this daily, I didn't find much of a need to use that anymore.

          I wish the facial cleanser that comes with this product were cheaper b/c I found that I really liked that. However, since it is so expensive, I have reverted to using a cheaper cleanser with it, and it works just as good.

          I have recommended this to several of my friends.

              (I'm 24 by the way) Alright... I didn't put any real big pros or cons yet, because I've only used it just once. Got it yesterday, had to do the 24 hr charge, and FINALLY got to try it before bed tonight... I just want to throw in some info, that maybe I simply overlooked (and maybe others will too).

              Have you ever used those flat, egg-like shaped, or oblong-shaped, face scrubbers? Come in a roughness for sensitive skin and then normal? Well... I generally use those and scrub the absolute crud out of my face. Well - because I hate my skin, the blemishes, the dryness, the oil, the blackheads, etc... So I scrub, scrub, scrub until I probably do more harm then good. I want it clean and soft... This is what I did twice daily before tonight with the Clarisonic. So let the experiment begin!

              I was imagining a scrubber that turned and buffed away at my skin. I was far off (Right, I'm a want-it-now girl, not a research one... Especially with the 30-day guarantee!)... It is not rough, which I expected (and kind of wanted). If you've ever used a sonicare toothbrush, it is very similar to that, only for your face. It vibrates like that, and you do circles on your face. I personally went longer than the timed cycle to really get a feel for it. But the point is that my cheeks felt so wonderfully clean and soft. My boyfriend thought so as well... Clean and soft, and I didn't have to use sandpaper to get it that way!

              So onto my experiment. We'll see if my skin goes through the purging that others have mentioned. Ugh, oh well, what's a few more zits, right?

              I also think it is important for people to know what I do to my skin otherwise. I wear zero makeup, only mascara every now and then. My face, in the morning, gets a mixed up little paste of spf moisturizer and a tinted acne cream. That's it. I'm not loading my face up with too much gunk.

              I'm going to give this tool an honest effort!

                    I wasn't impressed with clarisonic. It didn't help my acne and seemed like it just started to irritate my sensitive skin after a few weeks of use. I tried changing the brush, but that didn't seem to help. Buy yourself some St. Ives apricot scrub and save your money.

                      I went to an expensive dermatologist for some marks on my face that wouldn't go away, thinking they were acne or skin cancer. He told me they were cysts that "come with age" (grrr) and there was nothing I could do about them except have him remove them at $150 apiece. He was wrong. I bought this Clarisonic, a delicate brush head, and I have been using it for almost a week now. One of these marks went away completely. One got much smaller. My nose pores are sparkling clean. I plan to go back just to show him how wrong he was. Clarisonic rocks for older skin. Don't listen to dermatologists who want to sell you expensive treatments. You CAN do it yourself.
