| I'm wondering if anyone has information about how Clarisonic might interfere with the protective layer of lipids on your skin. I know harsh exfoiants remove it but not sure if the sonic brush could do the same. |

Do you feel that your skin is over sensitive from using the brush?
Mine feels healthier from using it, but I dont use retin - a or acids. |

| Well. I had a couple of spots after first few days, and it feels a bit tight... Not necessarily more sensitive. But tight skin did make me think. It reminded me of when I used Clearisil as a teenager.. Quite harsh in those days... I don't want to do that obviously. Clarisonic shouldn't I guess unless you use harsh chemicals. My skin is looking good now. But it set me wondering about how much of your natural oils are removed along with all the gunk! |

| I'm not using retin or acids either at the moment. I've just finished a Reaura treatment. I did think I might start on retin and AHAs in the break period but am wary of overkill. |

Hmm, yes, that tight feeling is not nice. Maybe the cleanser is not right for you?
I use a sensitive brush head, and I dont apply pressure.
My skin is dry for a while after a reaura treatment, and needs a lot of feeding to regain stability. |

I think if you notice any irritation from using the Clarisonic, you might want to think more deeply about the current health of your skin.
It's designed to work with even the most sensitive of skin. |

I found it was too much for my skin when I used it twice a day. So now I just use it to take my makeup off on most nights, and that's about it.
So it would be hard to have info about it interfering with the lipid barrier as this alone probably wouldn't do that.Your overall skincare regime would be the determining factor: use of acids, cleansers, frequency of their use etc.... |

| It's so dependent on your skin type. I don't have sensitive skin so I use it twice a day, but I have a girlfriend who I recommended the Clarisonic to and she's the same. Once a day is all her skin can handle. |

Yes, its all about context. As with all skincare, really.  |

| Thanks guys. I'm sure you're right.. It's cleaning products rather than clarisonic that are more likely to affect skin balance. I agree with you catski, my skin is quite dry after the reaura treatment but improving now, so not so tight after clarisonic. It's great at cleaning make up off at night, and I think it will become a 'must' part of my cleansing routine. I will need a bigger bag for travelling soon with all these gadgets! |
