Hellobee Boards

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!

Ooooh, I really want one after hearing these rave reviews!

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!

@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.

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.

I go back and forth between cetaphil and aveeno facewash for it!

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.

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.

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.

After this insanely long response, you can tell my vote is "highly recommend."

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.

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.

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)!

I use Philosophy's Purity facewash, it's a great combo.
