Clarisonic

Sweet_Serenity — Sun, 22 Jan 2017 22:48:15 GMT

Love Clarisonic. However! This is my second time with issues. Returning not working properly. Suffice to say, Frustrated. Wonder? Should i bypass Mia2 purchase Mia3? Smart profile looks interesting. Then I'm wondering! Should I even bother trying again? I'm very careful with my products, Nothing I did. Has anyone else experienced problems with clarisonic? TIA💁

@Sweet_Serenity - your story isn't the first time I've read of Clarisonics going bad. Maybe you should give the Foreo Luna Dupe a try. For less than $20 you might discover you like it.

Hi JeanLoise! I have a question. I have the Miami and got tired of mold issue on the brush heads-and the expense of replacing them. When HSN was selling the Foreo Luna mini, I bought it and love it.

Is the dupe full sized and does it have the same features?

Thanks,

@Poodlepet2 I would not have known you had a question, had I not clicked back into this thread. If you want to alert someone that you're speaking to them, you may find it beneficial to use the tagging feature, by typing the "@" symbol and using the pop-up to select the person you want to address. They will be alerted in their notifications box. I say this not to chide you, but to help in case you didn't know how to access that feature.

Anyway, the original Foreo Luna Mini that I had was the genuine article and came from HSN. It bit the dust right around a year. The dupe I found on Amazon is larger, more in line with a full size Foreo Luna and shaped similarly, although there are other dupes shaped a little differently too. The dupe I have has all the same features - made from silicone, holds a charge for a long time, has adjustable speeds and an internal timer, and can be found in an assortment of colors.

my last two died on me suddenely, I invested in a FOREO on HSN for $60 and never looked back. No replacement heads... no bacteria buildup... only charge it maybe once every 5 months.

I had one Clarisonic that the mechanism that makes the brush spin stopped working. I had to defect that one to the trash can as it was a week after warranty ran out LOL. I have a new one Mia and also have the Foreo Luna which is going on 3 years old and working fine. The new Mia seems to be working great so far.

@Sweet_Serenity I have both the dupe and the Clarisonic and I like them both. I think there is a need or use for both. I don't wear full makeup often as I work from home but when I do I love my Clarisonic. I remove my makeup with JM cleansing oil then I use another cleanser with my Clarisonic. My face feels super clean but not stripped. On a daily basis though the Forest dupe is good. I also use the Clarisonic with the pore cleanser from Skinn. I wouldn't invest in the expensive Clarisonic though. I just have the basic one. Worst part is having it charged when I need it.

I have had to return my Clarisonic Plus at least three times because it would not charge. This always happened about a year after getting it, all three times. Each time, Clarisonic sent me a refurbished one and I had to send back the one that wasn't working. That was until the last time when the lady told me that the refurbished one that they were sending me only had a 90 day warranty and that was the best that they could do. I don't think that I would spend the money again for a Clarisonic Plus. I do have a Mia 2 that I've had for about 4 years and it works fine. Since I don't use the Clarisonic Plus much in the shower, I think the Mia 2 is about all that I really need.

I must have been lucky. My original Clarisonic Pro which is ancient ia still going strong. The mia which ai use for travel is doing quite well also.

wonder why as I use one or the other every day.

@Drythe...DITTO! I have two Mias. Generation 1 & 2. I can't remember when I bought my Mia 1. My QVC order history doesn't go back that far. I use it twice a day every day and she has never given me a singl problem. My Mia 2 is newer, and she works like a champ, too. I alternate using them. They are workhorses!

Qvc covers full refund. Purchased another style. If past return then definitely! Would be upset. Fact! Owned this less than one month doesn't speak well to quality. Hopefully! Wont happen again.

Please note previous posts here. Several experienced problems. Given the fact! Less the one month owning Qvc refunded full amount. Did not! Want the same model. Hopefully! Won't happen again. Years ago purchased my first Clarisonic lasted long time. The new models are the problem.

Within a few weeks after buying the Mia2, it was down to about 5 uses before needing recharging--less than a week if I used it every day. I slowly cut back to only using it once or maybe twice a week, and I don't think it does much good unless it's used consistently. Now it's down to a single use--which means it is basically on the charger all the time. This doesn't work for me, and I'm very disappointed.

I have not had any problems with my Mia. Are you guys charging it 12 hours when you first get it. Your supposed to let it charge for that long before using it. Otherwise you'd charges won't last.

I have had my Clarisonic Plus for at least 7 years and It still works fine. I have read some post where users state their devices won't keep a charge. I think the key to avoiding this is to amke sure they get fully charged and then do not place it on the charging cradle that is plugged in. Doing so actually diminishes the capacity of the battery to fully charge. It has something to do with the type of charging mechanism.

I agree with this. Mine does not get charged until it dies. And when you first get it you should charge it at least 12 hours before using it.

I've never had an issue with mold on my Clarisonic. Mold elsewhere, but I've never seen mold on the brush head or under the brush when I replace it.

The Foreo Lunas do have a lot of advantages and the cost of ownership for a Foreo product vs a Clarisonic is definitely one of them.

I've been using the Michael Todd soniclear. So much better than clarisonic. Brushes last twice as long and brushes are antimocrobial. Check it out great product and 6 speeds
