Do u use Clarisonic AND an exfoliating cleanser?

Goldengate8361 — Sun, 01 Mar 2015 23:34:32 GMT

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.

They say it's not an exfoliator, but I think it is.

Using a brush on your skin says to me some level of exfoliation.

Now my skin is dry and so delicate I can hardly use the Clarisonic with the most gentle brush. I used to have skin so strong I could use ANYTHING on it.

I would not use a granule type exfoliator with the Clarisonic.

I use the Philosophy Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash everyday. I use it alone 4 times per week and with the Clarisonic 3 times per week. Following with Dr. Denese Hydroshield does not hurt either.

From the Clarisonic site: "For gentle exfoliation, Dr. Robb recommends using facial scrubs with round spheres with your Clarisonic Sonic Skin Cleansing System. Scrubs with odd-shaped particles, like pointed pieces of shells, sand or grit, can be too rough on your skin. Dr. Robb uses an exfoliating scrub with his Clarisonic once a week, then cleanses all other days using a regular face wash. Your skin should feel soft and smooth after cleansing, not tight, dry, or itchy. Please test new products carefully to avoid over-stressing your skin."
