I ended up using some money we had leftover from returned wedding gifts to get one at Macy's. I have a great husband. :) My face has never looked so great. I was really worried about breaking out once I stopped taking the pill as I have horrible skin, This is the only thing that has worked for me that I used diligently. I love getting compliments on my skin. Although, I don't know if it's that or my pregnancy glow anymore. :) </p> <p>For me, it was totally worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-153397 Wed, 09 May 2012 18:53:49 +0000 Witz 153397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the full version and am addicted to it! I remember this one trip that we were going on and my husband was like, if you could just not pack *all* of this stuff, you could use a carry-on and not have to pay to check your luggage, and suggested I leave my clarisonic behind. I told him I would rather pay $25 to check my bag than to go without it (okay, and other stuff too)! </p> <p>I use Philosophy's Purity facewash, it's a great combo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-153263 Wed, 09 May 2012 16:40:36 +0000 shinystraps 153263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used the Clarisonic but I personally needed more exfoliation. I use the Olay version (which is only $30) and it works way better for me - my skin is clearer and looks better overall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-153246 Wed, 09 May 2012 16:28:14 +0000 MsLipGloss 153246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second all the PPs who recommend the Clarisonic (full-size and Mia). It has definitely made my skin clearer, more radiant, I use less of all products, i.e., moisturizer, foundation, etc., because everything seems to *sink in* much more readily. It's wonderful. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-149811 Sun, 06 May 2012 15:30:58 +0000 Meridian 149811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like my Mia a lot! Although I haven't really noticed a big difference in how my skin looks, I like thinking that my skin is cleaner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-149783 Sun, 06 May 2012 14:34:41 +0000 Meeshling 149783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, but be prepared - like some folks said, your skin does go into a "purge" phase the first week or so after you use. I was prepared for it, so it was fine. Just keep on going with it - give it a full month to try out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-149781 Sun, 06 May 2012 14:32:37 +0000 pastemoo 149781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had one, but I have a brush that I use on my face (just a little scrub brush) and it works, so I imagine having a cool automatic one would be even better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-149773 Sun, 06 May 2012 14:17:02 +0000 Mrs. Blue 149773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got the full size one and for me it has been absolutely worth it. I bought one before our wedding, and it has changed my skin completely. I have super, super sensitive skin, and I have tried a million products. Almost everything makes me breakout more, get a rash, or makes my skin turn super red and burn. So, I can never use astringent, masks, or anything like that. I decided to get the Clarisonic because I thought it might work since you can use whatever cleanser you want (though I actually like the sensitive skin version it came with) and exflotuate my skin naturally without causing an adverse reaction. The first time I used it I notices that my skin was infinitely softer than it had been maybe ever. My skin became much more even and clear. I use less moisturizer because my skin absorbs it better now. I also use less makeup. </p> <p>I have always had breakouts, etc., and I had several people comment on how great my skin looked. After finding out it was just using the Clarisonic that had chained my skin several bought be Mia. One friend and her mom got it and both say it's their favorite beauty product. I couldn't find the charger for mine for a while post-wedding, and I began having skin problems all over again. It was a good day when I started using it again. </p> <p>After this insanely long response, you can tell my vote is "highly recommend." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-149234 Sat, 05 May 2012 17:32:10 +0000 immabeetoo 149234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate to be a negative nelly, but I bought one before my wedding and.. didn't care for it. It didn't make my skin better or worse, it just hurt my pocketbook. I used it diligently until after the wedding, when it promptly broke and they told me unless I paid to ship it in they couldn't help me. I don't recommend them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-149212 Sat, 05 May 2012 15:24:03 +0000 Weagle 149212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been using mine for a few weeks and LOVE it! My skin was pretty clear already (thanks to a round of Accutane in college + pregnancy/prenatals give me awesome skin), but I am amazed at how much clearer and brighter it has looked since I started using the Mia. Definitely worth the investment. DH agrees, and he's the cheapest person I know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-149156 Sat, 05 May 2012 12:10:42 +0000 sandy 149156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: ok I'll give it another shot and try using it every other day for a few weeks. I use cetaphil cleanser now so I'll just keep using that. My husband will be so happy to see me using it again :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-149038 Sat, 05 May 2012 08:44:23 +0000 mrsjyw 149038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: Yep, you have to just get through the first few weeks and it's worth it! I scaled back to every other day use until my initial breakouts went away.</p> <p>I slowly started using it daily again, but now that it's been over a year, I am more on the ever other day schedule.</p> <p>I go back and forth between cetaphil and aveeno facewash for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-148932 Fri, 04 May 2012 22:03:19 +0000 sandy 148932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I have the full size one too and stopped using it bc it was making me break out more. But it sounds like its temporary and then makes your skin better than ever. What cleanser do you use with yours? My husband hates seeing the clarsonic stored in the drawer bc he gave it to me for a birthday gift and it sits unused. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-148905 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:10:29 +0000 mrsjyw 148905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the full sized one that dh gifted for Xmas a few years ago. I love it! I did breakout the first couple of wks with my pores being opened up and everything being brought to surface. But I 100% recommend it! My face has never been cleaner/softer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-148902 Fri, 04 May 2012 21:06:14 +0000 Mrs. Pink 148902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought the cheaper Olay version, and I love it.. I'm not 100% sure how it compares because I've never used the Clarisonic but it might be worth looking into to see if you like it before diving in with the Mia </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-148806 Fri, 04 May 2012 20:09:56 +0000 autumnlove 148806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooooh, I really want one after hearing these rave reviews! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-148741 Fri, 04 May 2012 19:40:15 +0000 Meeshling 148741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was lucky to get one as a gift for Christmas, and I LOVE IT. It has completely cleared up my skin. I used to always have breakouts on my chin, but now I only break out right before my period. It has made my skin soft, exfoliates so well, and my husband was so impressed that he went out and bought his own brush head so he could use it too. So worth it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-148695 Fri, 04 May 2012 18:29:16 +0000 BeachMama 148695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one before my wedding a couple years ago and I love it. I got comments from strangers and friends on my skin, and had like 3 friends go out and buy their own. It's kept my skin clear and smooth and I notice I use a lot less makeup and moisturizer. I rationalize the price because I've had it for 2 years so far and still use it, and it's way cheaper than facials! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clarisonic-mia-reviews#post-148602 Fri, 04 May 2012 16:24:00 +0000 Arden 148602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been hearing good things about the Clarisonic Mia Cleansing System, but it's kind of pricey.</p> <p>For those of you who have it, do you like it? Do you think it's worth the price? I'd love to hear some reviews from the bees here! </p>
