Do u use Clarisonic AND an exfoliating cleanser?

I just started using a Clarisonic and it cleanses so well, I'm not sure my skin would benefit from also using an exfoliating cleanser with it. Do any of you use an exfoliating cleanser with your Clarisonic?......just curious.

What do you mean by exfoliating cleanser? If you mean a scrub-type cleanser, then no, I definitely wouldn't use it with the Clarisonic.

Yes, I mean a scrub type of cleanser....one with exfoliating granules, for example.

During the demos, the reps advise against using those types of cleansers because the combination of both can be too abrasive on the skin.

At least once a week I use an exfoliating cleanser After the Clarisonic.

I use the Tacha cleansing oil & rice cleanser/exfoliation combination and use my Clarisonic with the rice cleanser (last step) in the process.

I wouldn't use an exfoliate with a Clarisonic. I don't think it's necessary.

I use Philosophy Purity Made Simple with my Clarisonic at night, and in the morning I use Philosophy Microderm Exfoliating wash without the Clarisonic. That works well for me and my skin is soft and smooth.

..but a clarisonic is not an exfoliator so you do need to exfoliate after using the clairsonic (just in case you did not know).

Yes, this is a good point. We still need to be getting our exfoliation in, just not along with the Clarisonic when we are cleansing.
