i did, i normally have oily skin and i used the same products ive used before clarisonic, but since i started it (about 2 months now) my skin got very dry and flaky. What i did though is lessen the use of clarisonic, i just use mine now once a day, at night so im sure i remove all my make up and dirt on my face. and afterwards i use a hydrating moisturizer (clinique moisture surge gel). ive found that it kept my skin from being overly dry and flaky. so i suggest maybe using your clarisonic like once a day or every other day and see if that makes any difference. hope that helps even a bit. :)

I agree with Sabrinna...try using it once a day at night or even every other day, which I tend to do a lot. In the summer you may be able to use it more often. Also make sure you're not pressing it into your skin too hard because that may cause some irritation.

I bought a Clarisonic I would like to say about 3.5 years ago. (Before they ever came out with the Mia). Anywho, I was on it for a good 4 months or so. My skin broke out crazy!!!
Fast forward, I pretty much controlled my cystic acne, and decided to use it again. At first I was a little sad because my Clarisonic wasn't lighting up (it sat idol in my bathroom drawer for a good 3 years). But to my surprised, it charged up. I was super excited, since I did find my HG cleanser and skincare routine.
I use it once a day now, and I notice more pimples coming to surface. I really really really hope I don't need to quit it this time! I'd be extremely sad and pissed off.

@ Jane A. they say once you start using the clairsonic they say in the beginning you breakout more because its cleaning everything from within and that produces more acne

@jane, yes thats true and i also found that using the clarisonic too much can keep breaking you out. I think it might be because it can irritate the skin. So its best to use it minimally. I dont get a lot of breakouts anymore but just occasional ones every now and then. :)

Ok cool thanks Sabrina, and Sabrinna. =)
The first time around I used it rigorously (sp?) 2x a day. Now I do it at night, when I want to wash my make up off really good.
The first time around, I thought my skin was purging itself, but after the 4th month of breaking out still, I gave up. Not only that, I don't think I washed my brush head every week, and I believe I really scrub my face (versus just guiding it through my face now a day). So hopefully doing it once a day (I may switch it to every other day), washing my brush head every so often (I do it when I see "make up" still stuck in there), and being more gentle than before -- will make a difference this time around. The good news is, my break out is only affecting my right cheek (versus my entire face the last time). So it could be I tend to sleep on that side more than any other side at night.
