I bought my clarisonic back in January, and have had terrible cystic acne ever since. A week ago, it died and I keep forgetting to charge it. My skin has been GLOWING without it. No pimples, soft, amazing. I use an aha/BHA cleanser and a gentle exfoliator. I have also switched birth control to Yaz recently though which could be the reason. Has anybody else had similar experiences with the clarisonic actually causing acne?

I've been using my Clarisonic a few weeks now and think I got maybe 1 or 2 pimples that went away within a day or two. However before purchasing it I read a lot of reviews and many people did break out or go thru the "purge" I would relate it to your birth control. And maybe try switching the little Clarisonic head that may help. (:

There are YouTube videos of people who had bad experiences with it - including Wayne goss so it's not uncommon - and really the Clarisonic is doing exfoliation - so if you have exfoliating cleanser in a device that is already exfoliating - it may be too much for your skin to handle - so it's not the best for sensitive skin if you can't take too much exfoliation on a daily basis.

Yes, I change my brush head regularly.. I think its just too much for my sensitive skin. I'll continue not using it and see how it goes :)
