Clarisonic does nothing for rosacea symptoms. What it does do is reverse some of the long-term effects on the skin of having rosacea–keratinization (coarsening), enlargement of the pores, and uneven skin tone. Clarisonic helps a LOT with that, and it makes a big difference in the appearance of the skin. I’ve been using it for 3 months now, and I’m very pleased.

I’ve had no irritation from using the brush. I use the 4-speed Clarisonic on its lowest setting ONLY and with a “sensitive” brushhead. I damp the face and the brush first with tepid water, apply the cleanser, and then use the damp brush very gently in a circular motion for no more than 30 sec total. I emphasize the areas that tend to keratinize–the nose and the chin–and use it very gingerly on the cheeks.

Note: I’ve used this in conjunction with a dietary regimen for controlling redness (bland, nourishing diet with NO junk food), a good cleanser and a good moisturizer formulated for rosacea.

Since Clarisonic was out of my fiscal ballpark, I opted for its half-the-price competitor, Nutra Sonic. I found it on Overstock after Googling for Clarisonic sales. Bottom line, it’s great. My skin hasn’t been this smooth and clear, ever.

However, it’s done nothing to lessen the ruddy colored t-zone of my rosacea.

I have severe rosacea and i cannot afford clarisonic but i did purchase avon’s vibrating skin cleansing machine. I think they are copying neutrogena’s Wave. My skin is oily/combo and my skin is so much cleaner I can’t believe it. and Smooth. Also Lesss red in the cheeks when I am done which I think my skin likes it like it is a massage or something. I bought the neutrogena wave to compare and it actually irritated my skin and made me redder. not sure why, although Avons cleansing pads are thicker. Maybe my skin didn’t like neutrogena’s cleanser. I want to try clarisonic but probably won’t get to for a year. I would say that skin care has evolved, wish it came sooner, I am 49.

I have been using the Clarisonic Pro for about five days now. I’ve noticed my pores are nonexistent and my skin feels so smooth. I use it twice a day with cetaphil cleanser. I use the body brush every day and have noticed the skin on my chest is very smooth as well. I’m fifty six and suffer from chronic hives. I’ve not had any reaction from using the clarisonic and in fact I think it helps.
I highly recommend this product.

I use my Clarisonic brush every night with Cetaphil cleanser and have no problem with it, although I have to use it on the lowest setting, and I use the sensitive brush head.

What I like about it is it removes make-up completely and thoroughly without having to scrub, something I was never able to do with a washcloth. My skin definitely feels smoother after using it.

I have had several IPL treatments so I don’t have much facial redness anymore, so I can’t address whether the Clarisonic helps redness as it claims. I do have redness on my arms so I tried the Clarisonic body brush and haven’t noticed a difference in redness, although I haven’t used it consistently so it’s hard to judge.

I also use Renova, which has virtually eliminated my P & P’s, but I think the Clarisonic brush helps too.

Unfortunately, i am quite disappointed. Clarisonic did nothing for me. In fact it made my face so raw and sore i broke out further.

I’ve been using a Clarisonic since November ’09 — just went for my six-month visit with the dermatologist and she said, “Whatever you’re doing, keep it up. Your skin looks great!”

La Roche Posay’s Toleriane line has proved to be a godsend, too — I use the cleanser with the Clarisonic, twice a day, as well as sunscreen and “riche” formula cream at night.

When I think back to how my skin looked last fall — rough, flakey, with lots of P&Ps — it seems unbelievable that I’d have these results today. Highly recommend the Clarisonic to anyone, of any age.

I purchased the Clairsonic Pro and have been using it now for about 2 weeks. I have mild rosacea mainly on my cheeks with aging 40′s skin with some sun damage. I like the way it cleans and makes my face feel but over the past 2 days my right cheek has broken out with a few of those bump style pimples that never come to a head. I am not sure if my skin is just purging or if it is a sign of irritation from the unit. I use the sensitive brush 1-2 times a day. Has anybody else had this happen?
