I have had a clarisonic mow for over two years. Initially it was great because my skin and clogged pores were getting a boost of cleansing. Then I had a number of issues, breakouts and flare ups, white heads etc. Nothing serious but enough to annoy me. THEN I invested in a decent cleanser and changed elements of my skin routine. Now the clarisonic is working much better. I also changed from the sensitive to the 'normal' head which makes a difference. Funnily enough I have heard horror stories about the deep pore brush....
Ironically I use it less now i.e. about 3-5x a week usually on the days I wear make up. This is because my cleansing is better so I have less need for it. Whereas before I thought it was the main ingredient in cleansing, I now see it as a very useful add-on. I am also trying to wear less make up, wear water based foundation only or no make-up at all when possible, to give my skin a break as well as time to adapt to my new routine.
So my conclusion is alone the clarisonic will not work miracles however it really makes a noticeable difference with a good cleanser/ other great skincare.
Final advice:
1. Get the Mia, you don't need the Plus. Save your pennies for more cleanser etc. You can also travel with the Mia.
2. Use a good gentle cleanser. I use the Peter Thomas Roth gentle foaming cleanser, which I personally really like. I have also heard good things about the Cetaphyl, Cerave, La Roche Posay and Neutrogena gentle foaing cleanser.
3. Use the lowest setting you can. Its the Oscillation/ sonic technology that do the work and not the intensity of the brush. The higher settings are for your body.
4. DO NOT 'push' the clarisonic into your face. Let it hover gently over your skin and do its work.
5. Spritz it with some brush cleanser after each use, let it sit and then rinse before the next use.
6. Change the head every 2-3 months depending on how often you use it. |
