I heard a lot of things about the Clarisonic Face Brush and I eventually decided to take the plunge and get one.
Source: Clarisonic
My reasons for trying it out were this:
- I love my Sonicare (and the Clarisonic is made by the same company) toothbrush SO much
- There are tons of good reviews from other bloggers
- They tout amazing results (reducing fine lines and decreasing pore size)
- The idea that I could use this with any cleanser - so maybe I could switch to a more natural face cleanser without having any acne {I love the Patricia Wexler Acne line but am trying to use more natural products}
When you are using it, it feels a little unusual, but nice. It has a sort of warming, vibrating feeling. It automatically goes for 1 minute - and then you are done! I actually think I spend less time washing my face with the Clarisonic!
Immediately after I use it, regardless of what face wash I use, my skin looks glowy, almost the same as after having a facial. And my face feels very fresh!
Long term, my skin texture has gotten better and while I don't know about reducing wrinkles or pore size, I can definitely say that my skin reminds me of how it used to look back when I was in high school.
I have been using it with a few different face washes, but no wins so far (still love my Patricia Wexler Exfoliating Acne cleanser the best). I've also been using it in conjunction with my argan oil, and I would have to say that my skin has never been better!
I bought the Mia because other than the body brush ability and the dock, I couldn't see any difference between the models, and the price difference is significant. I believe they just dropped the price to $119 (I paid $149) so now there is really no reason not to try it out!

{As a side note, I have been thinking about my product reviews, and while getting free stuff would be awesome, I think it changes how the product is perceived by the reviewer. Many bloggers say they would buy the free thing anyway, but I have my doubts. So far I have never gotten anything free for being a blogger, but in the future, if I was offered in exchange for a review, I wouldn't do it.
I was thinking the best way to deal with this is to accept an additional product to the one I bought (and love!) and to give it away or maybe give a promo code? What do you all think of sponsored product reviews, etc?}
Also, if you have tried the Clarisonic what do you think?

I wonder if this could change my life. It might? Thanks for the review. I normally don't buy beauty products like this, but I kinda see the benefit now. I could use glowing skin.
I've been thinking alot about what to do for my skin lately. When I was in elementary school I had a facial brush thing, with really soft bristles that I used to wash my face. Now, I tend to use water, because I find that most any soap products make my sensitive skin break out more. I will have to consider giving this a try as you've given it such a glowing review (pun intended). :)
Everyone's skin is so different, I agree, you just have to find what works for you! If you are thinking of giving it a try, I would recommend buying it from Sephora - because if you don't like it, you can just return (even if you don't have a receipt, or even if its been a few months) it!
Haha, I'm not sure I would say it has changed my life, but it has definitely changed my skin! ;) Like I recommended to Frankie, Sephora has an amazing return policy so if you are thinking of getting one but aren't sure, they will take it back if you don't like it.
I am really enjoying reading your well written articles. I think your blog posts looks unique and informative.I recommend everybody to read this post.

I'm using the Olay version of this product right now and I'm not seeing any difference at all in my skin. I know they work somewhat differently, but I'm afraid of spending $100+ and not seeing any results!
I've seen the ads for that... maybe it's like the Crest electric toothbrushes vs. the Sonicare? I've had the $15 battery powered toothbrushes before and they aren't even in the same league as my Sonicare toothbrush.
I tried argan oil for my face, without much success. I'm pretty sure I got some break outs from it. I might try it again. When I'm feeling lucky. lol
