So I just ordered myself the Clarisonic. Ever since I moved to a city about a year and a half ago I have AWFUL blackheads. It just looks like tons of little bumps underneath my skin. I've also been getting way more breakouts than I ever have been.

So, I broke down and ordered it today. Anyone else use it now? Thoughts? Results?

I *heart* mine... give yourself time to find your routine though... and remember, don't push it into your face to scrub! Let it rest against your skin naturally and help glide over your face! [you can do more damage than good if you push it]

If you're interested in reading a review I posted on my blog for it: http://www.kabukivoodoo.com/2011/07/clarisonic-are-they-worth-hype.html

Start using it every other day, and then working up to daily or however frequent you feel is suitable for your skin.


Enjoy!

Great blog post! Thank you!! :-)


Did you have problematic skin before?

Haha... I'd post "before" photos if I weren't so disgusted with them. I always had combo/oily skin with monthly breakouts, but they were small and did not exceed 2-3 at any given month. In December, my face reacted to something [I still have no idea what it was, with some theories] and it was bad... bad enough for me to question whether or not I was a good person in my previous lifetime to get it so bad... >.<

I started using CeraVe cleanser and Queene Helene's Mint Julep mask, [go figure, after all the $$$ I spent on higher-end cleansers] and my face slowly repaired itself. I still have red spots from scarring, but I'm no longer hiding in my house hoping no one will ever see me. Haha, I hate to push this on you again, but since I have no pictures to illustrate how bad it was, I have a blog post about my journey through finding the right regimen that helped my face heal: http://www.kabukivoodoo.com/search/label/CeraVe

It's a long read, so you've been fairly warned... but you can feel the pain and frustration along with the long journey I outlined with every product/DIY regimen I tried.

Hope that helps!

You aren't pushing the blog on me at all. HUGE help.

I've spend so much money on EVERY single skin care line including prescription. The one part of my routine, however, that actually did slightly help my skin was the cheapest product (cetaphil). This will be my nightly read. You're the best, thanks so much!

I've been using mine for almost two years and my skin hasnt been the same since! I had terrible breakouts, blackheads, condones, whatever and I got it for Christmas for myself one year and haven't been a day without it. It literally makes you GLOW! I've also been using Dermalogica since January along with my Clarisonic and I've never been more in love with my face. I'm not a faithful face washer (sometimes I only wash at night) but I have oily skin and it's literally disappeared. I can't wait until you try yours, everyone has to dabble in skin care before they find a tried and true routine. Can't wait until you find yours! Good luck!!

I love my Clarisonic Mia. I've been using it for about 2 1/2 months. I'm not faithful to any one cleanser (except my morning cleanser which is Philosophy Micro-delivery exfoliating wash) and switch from Philosophy Purity Made Simple, two of the Clarisonic cleansers (the blue and white one) and whatever other cleanser I happen to pick up (next shopping trip will find Cetaphil in my basket courtesy of a recent article posted here). I use my Clarisonic Mia every night and love how smooth and clean my skin feels. I've not noticed any difference in my pore size, but I used to have teeny tiny bumps (maybe whiteheads) on my lip line (gross!) and I could feel tiny whiteheads on my chin. Soon after I started using my Clarisonic Mia they have vanished. I'm so satisfied with the results that my next splurge purchase will be the larger one so I can use the body brush and the Clarisonic Opal. This has been the best beauty investment for me so far.

How is the clarisonic working for you so far Bekah?

@ Brittany M. I was just wondering the same thing. I'm hoping it is working as well for her as it is for me. :-) 

I am really loving my Clarisonic Mia...and I'll also second Soma on the CeraVe!

@Carly, it has done a great job with getting rid of my blackheads. It also has shrunken my pores big time!! I'm going to wait another week and take a picture to compare to the "before" picture I took.

I still don't use it everyday. I have very sensitive skin and use it every other day with my cetaphil cleanser.
:-) I couldn't be more pleased!
