^^Side note:Love Amore Pacific.

izzie stevens I dont think the Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream would work with this though. I havent used it so who knows, but it seems foaming cleansers would work best.

that's true, foam is needed here, and it MUST be non-abrasive. a gel cleanser works best, but don't use the clarisonic cleanser that comes with the brush, it's way to harsh on most skin types.

I want to know who can actually use the normal brush. I have used my clarisonic for almost 2 years and I cannot build up to it yet...

^ i have used it on my body. it makes a great allover body scrub tool

 

[ojodeazul19]

That is an excellent idea... How dumb am I that I never thought of that?

I went to a beauty event today and they had drawings where they were giving these away. My name was not drawn.

 

[izzie stevens]

^ ahhh. that stinks!!!

 

[ojodeazul19]

Did anyone participate in the recall?

 

[izzie stevens]

^ there was a recall?

 

[ojodeazul19]

Yeah, a voluntary one, if you bought yours before July 2007. Something with the electrical compenents

 

[izzie stevens]

^ that stinks.

buyers had the chance to check back the id number of their brushes via the clarisonic website, to see if their brushes were ok. i did instantly, but mine was fine.

I have had mine for so long, it was part of it. Though the process of getting a new one was so painless, and I get a brankdnew machine, I am actually excited about the recall. As soon as I shiipped the box they sent me for free back, they had the othe rone in the mail..THey have some of the best customer service ever!

There's been some discussion of the Clarisonic Brush in the "How to get your skin smooth and flawless" thread, so I thought I'd bump this for more ideas/opinions

anyone who has tips on how to use it?
I understand that i'll have to use it with a foaming cleanser.. any tips on good ones?

is it worth the money?

 

[LetThemEatCake]

Havent used it, but once I do I'll use my La Prairie Foam Cleanser with it or the Amore Pacific foaming cleanser. You could try Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser for Dry/Sensitive skin. I know a girl who uses it actually likes the Clarisonic cleanser that they sell...she said it smells like cucumber. I hate that smell.

thanks
hopefully i'll find it somewhere in sweden..

Is it bad to use it when your skin is broken out? Like will it irritate it? I'm interested in buying one but I think I might wait until my skin goes back to normal...

if your skin is really irritated, wait until it heals. but slight irritations might even get better when you use the brush (with a "delicate" brush head and a super gentle foaming cleanser. this is imperative.)
