Clarisonic - Passing up a good thing?

Sometimes `off the wall' or experimental treatments for rosacea emerge. Often they are not yet FDA approved or not seen as suitable by doctors. This forum is a place for you to explore these sorts of treatments.

Hi "organicbabyclothes" and welcome to the board (wave)

Several of our members are reportedly very happy with their Clarisonics, so I hope you can find a vendor. Personally, I bought one of the inexpensive alternatives, Neutrogena's Wave or NewWave, widely available @ about $20 from supermarkets and pharmacies. However, comparison reviews do rate the Clarisonic higher in performance as well as price.

Kind regards,

Aurelia

PS I have deleted the link to your firm because although organic clothing is an excellent idea that might appeal to other members, I'm sure they can google on the name if interested.

I bought mine on Ebay; some sellers ship internationally.

Hi guys.
As the Clarisonic brush is now available in the UK (available exclusively via Space NK) as announced in this months Rosacea News, I'd like to know whether you are all still feeling very positive about the Brush. If you have any insights or advice you could give me as I'm looking to purchase one.

Any feedback most welcome.

I still use mine, but not daily--maybe once or twice a week. And the best brush head is....argh, let me go look. It's the blue one, I think it's delicate vs the sensitive that comes with it. Yes, it is called delicate. Do not push hard, lightly glide over your face, for only about 5-10 seconds per area. I apply cleanser to my face and some to the brush head, otherwise it's too much of a good thing; it doesn't glide over the skin as well. A more intensive scrubbing I don't mind for my t-zone, but not my cheeks.

And of course---I say go for PINK. Oooooh Lisa, they have a smaller version called the Mia; cheaper too!

Thanks Cathy. The Mia does look cute. I'll have to check if they have that one in the UK.
