Clarisonic Tips - Pros and Cons of the Clarisonic Skin Care System

Pros and Cons of the Clarisonic Pro Skin Care Cleansing System

Please Note:  This Pro and Con list is my personal review of the PRO version of the Clarisonic Skin Cleanse System and I recommend that one for sure because of the variable speed settings and more options.

Update: I have been using the Clarisonic Pro for months now and I am still addicted to using it to clean my face Night and Day! I don't know how I lived without it - I love the way it cleans my face and makes it feel so smooth.

Pros:

1.    The timer is a handy feature that ensures that you don’t concentrate too long or too little on one area.  You can also use the timer for "spot" treatments on areas when you see or feel a blemish coming on.

2.    It is waterproof. This makes it so convenient to use inthe shower or in the bath. Ultrasonic vibrations work best when in the presence of water, so make sure the surface of your skin is wet.

3.    The sample cleansers that come with the clairsonic are pretty nice, but you can use any cleanser that is appropriate  for your skin and it will be fine with the clarisonic.

4.    I purchased the PRO version of Clarisonic and it has variable speed settings. This is really great for adjusting to your skincare needs. When I first got my clarisonic I used the lower setting and then over time increased it gradually as my skin could handle it. If you turn red you are using to high or intense of a setting, so just turn it down and increase it gradually over time.

5.  My skin looks so much better and feels so much softer after I use the Clarisonic. I have a youthful glow and my skin as a brightness it did not have before.

6. My skin absorbs my face creams, ointments and lotions much better and evenly. The daily gentle exfoliation that the Clarisonic provides really helps!

Cons:

1.    It may seem a bit large and heavy but it really isn't.  Dimension of the Clarisonic Pro are 2.5 x 3 x 7 inches  and it weight 1.6 pounds.  It seems pretty light to me - and I use it every day - twice a day. I think you will get used to the weight of it the more you use it and it will seem light to you.

2.    Travel considerations:  You may need to also pack the charging unit because if you don’t you will be sorry if it runs out of juice. If you don’t take the charger you can probably get 7 days of use (using it twice a day) IF it has a FULL charge when you leave home.  Trust me, you WILL want to take the clarisonic with you on trips - it  just cleanses so well and makes your face look and feel so good  - I never want to wash my face without it.  It is addictive!

3.    Expensive. So yes, it may seem expensive to buy a clarisonic. But the more I use the clarisonic and experience the daily gentle exfoliation I can easily see how I can avoid more expensive salon treatments like microdermabrasion. Also my skin care products are more easily absorbed into my skin and I find myself using less of them than in the past. So I am actually saving money on creams and anti-aging ointments. And my skin has never looked or felt better. Every day I am amazed at how soft and supple and youthful my skin looks - truly!

4.    Replacement brushes can seem expensive too but you can easily find really good deals – you can find the lowest prices on clarisonic replacement brushes here.

5.   Some folks say that the flat face brush and the flat body brush don’t work that well around tight contours of your body such as around the nose. This has NOT been the case for me. The brush easily cleans around tight contours….you just hold the clarisonic in a way that accesses every part of  your face or body. Easy!

6.    The replacement brush is supposed to last 3-4 months.  However you may find you want to replace it more often if it gets to looking worn or gray in color. So you will want to consider the cost of that. To me the cost is negligible because the benefits I get and the healthy glow on my face is SO worth it!

For me after reviewing the Pros and Cons of the Clarisonic and especially after experiencing it myself – truly, the PROS totally outweigh the CONS.

You could not talk me out of using my clarisonic every day twice a day from now on.  My skin and complexion just looks and feels so much better than before.
