I have rosacea and a long history of acne which has been treated since adolescence. I purchased the Clarisonic about a month ago and it is wonderful. Not irritating and definitely cleanses well. I use Cetaphil Cleanser for oily skin and it does a great job. I am using the brush for sensitive skin which came with the Clarisonic. I rinse it in hot water after every use and let it air-dry. I am not seeing any cross-contamination. I continue to use Finacea every a.m. as prescribed by my dermatologist. He also recently prescribed Aczone for specific lesions but I am hardly ever needing it! A few years ago I had some laser treatments for acne scarring. This helped ALOT. After the summer I hope to have a few more to touch up some spots. Laser treatments are not cheap but they can make a big difference with residual scarring from acne.

I received the Clarisonic Pro brush as a birthday gift a couple of weeks ago. I am in my late 50’s. I have been using it at least one a day and sometimes twice a day. I think the brush is amazing. It came with a sensitive brush. It works well for me. I take it in the shower with me and that is very convenient. I have ordered the spot brush and the new refining cream and I cannot wait for it to get here. I would recommend it to everyone. It is a little expensive but think how much you can save on facials.

Sometimes you buy things hoping that they will work just as you have read in many reviews, but then after a couple of weeks you realize how dissapointed you are — especially if you spent a lot of money. I bought the Clarisonic and for once I can truly say with out a doubt that it was a most beneficial purchase! I paid $158 online (free shipping). I was glad for that as most places including my skin care spa at the Dematologist clinic was selling it for $195. I have been using it twice a day following the timing directions for each section of the face (it beeps when time to move to another part of the face). I have used the sample cleansers that came with the machine and the soft brush. When those were gone I have used french milled (very mild) soap or Cetapil. I have in the past had mild Roscea, but with MetroLotion it was so controlled that I even stopped using that (after 3 years of continuious use). I am very happy that using this Clarsonic it did not activate any redness at all! I am 64 years old and have taken good care of my skin using sun protection everyday, and good quality facial products and use little make-up (mineral based when I do apply it 3-4 days a week in the evenings). I am out doors nearly everyday for several hours as I am an avid road bicyclist, runner, hiker and x-country skier. So my skin is exposed to environmental polutants. This machine has cleaned my skin lamazing! I was going for facials about every 6-8 weeks for deep cleansing. But now with this Clarisonic I do not feel I will need to do that any more. I am thrilled that this brush and the way it works has TOTALLY eliminated a persistent problem on my chin area. The area between the tip of my chin to bottom of my lower lip always had these little bumps – like small clogged pores. Running my finger in this area you could feel these little bumps and they looked white, and sometimes like clogged blackheads. I think it was about the 4th day of using the Clarisonic that this area is as smooth as baby skin! Gone, and smooth and soft. The other area was near the bottom of my nose in the folds. Pores were larger and skin rougher feeling in that spot. But now, so smooth, clean and silky feeling. I follow with moisturizer and I use less as it goes on so evenly and smoothly.
There is another area of my body that I use this Clarisonic on that you may find unusal. Since I am a cyclist and wear padded bike shorts for many hours at a time, and in the groin area one can sweat and it can breed bacteria if the shorts are not removed and you shower and cleanse the upper insides of the legs well (the insides of the legs in the groin that make contact with the bicycle seats outer edges). This area would have these white bumps and sometimes one of these hair follicles would become irritated and inflammed. So my dermatologist said wash after riding with BP Wash (she sold it in her clinic) to remove any bacteria. So I decided to use this cleanser along with the soft Clarisonic brush. Unbelievable the difference!! That area is now smooth and those bumps are almost entirely gone (after 2 weeks – though I saw improvement in 2 days). Overall – I highly recommend the Clarisonic brush cleaning machine. Everytime I touch my face I am reminded how glad I am that I made this purchase. This thing really works! You will save the cost of it on just using less product on your skin because you might decide that you don’t really need many visits for facials – or non at all.

It has helped my rosecea a whole lot. it also seems to have improved the overall health of my skin. i would reccomend for everyone to at least try it. Sephora offers a 30 day return policy if you aren’t happy with it so you have nothing to lose.

Well I have used the Clarisonic now for about three weeks. I too have Rosacea. I am not sure that the Rosacea is better but my skin is smoother and seems to tolerate other medications better. I would recommend this device.

I am going to purchase Clarisonic after reading this website. I have rosacea and was concerned about the brush causing redness. However, 7 months ago I got off of caffeine and I have not had any breaking out since then. Thought others might like to know that.

I’ve suffered with granulomatus Rosacea for many years, and have found few products to be effective. Things that have worked have been Accutane (but only a short term fix) and AFA exfoliating gel (a product that my dermatologist recently introduced me to that is more effective than most of the rosacea meds I’ve tried). So, I was skeptical about the Clarisonic, especially at the $175 price point. I purchased it though, and am I glad that I did. After the first time I tried it, I noticed a difference. My skin was softer and my pores were unclogging. It really helped to bring everything to the surface quickly. After having a facial and contiuing to use the Clarisonic, I noticed that my pores seem smaller, my very minor wrinkles seem to be less noticeable, and my skin is much clearer and cleaner looking. And, I’ve only been using the product for 9 days!! My advice is that you try it. With a money back guarantee, you have nothing to lose.

I am not at all affiliated with Clarisonic, I’m just a very satisfied user.

it is now almost march of ‘08 and am still using clarisonic on my face with CVS brand cetaphil before applying finacea. it is great. in this time i was upgraded for FREE for the new clarisonic MD, which addressed so design flaws in the original model.

as i mentioned almost a year ago my rosacea isn’t cured but with that and finacea i don’t get more than a couple P &P more then once a month!!

rosacea stinks but with the routine i have been graced with good relief.
