Clarisonic Replacement Recommendations

World Traveler · ‎02-02-2015

The first item I purchased from QVC many years ago was the Clarisonic facial cleansing tool. I loved it and went thru many brush heads over the years. But there was a time when I couldn't get brush replacements for some reason.

Today I was looking at Amazon and they have the Clarisonic Mia 2, but the reviews are not very good. The only good review was for a 2025 version and the reviews are by people who were asked by the company to do so; I'm not sure if those are cherry-picked reviews, leaving the bad ones out.

Would love to hear from people who owned the Clarisonic and are now using some other brand. Are you using another brand that uses brushes; and if so, which brands do you recommend? I am NOT interested in hearing about any of the silicone-type brush heads, just the bristle type.

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give me on this. Would love to get back to using something like that again.

I used Clarisonic for years, but stopped when unable to purchase replacement heads. I searched for a new tool and purchased a Foreo 4 go in April when Ulta had it half price. I absolutely LOVE it! It's made of silicone and feels awesome on my face. It's easy to clean and it's waterproof! I highly recommend this product! Check it out!

@lovesfootball Thanks for your response. Wonder why they stopped making replacement heads.

Happy you are loving your Foreo, but as I said in my initial post, I am not interested in the silicone type of tools.

I may just take a chance and order the Clarisonic Mia 2 with a date of 2025, even though the excellent reviews were asked for by the company after they sent the item out for the specific purpose of getting a review from the recipients, which makes me think they may have felt they had to give a good review.....maybe not.

Michael Todd makes a cleaning device similar to Clarisonic. It's called a Soniclear. QVC sells it but I would shop around.

@SilleeMee Thanks! I'll check it out.

@SilleeMee Oh, pretty cool! Looks just like the Clarisonic.

Also, they also have one for dermaplaning. Interesting, but expensive.

I bought a NOVA cleansing brush at JCP a few years ago, I see that amazon has it for 33 dollars. Its as good as the MIA's I use to have.

I got the Foreo when the company offered it at half price when Clarisonic was gone.

The silicone is antimicrobial.....it does a wonderful job. It still is going on the original charge from years ago ! ( I hope that doesn't jinx it ! )

I never felt the brush heads were doing a great job....

@World Traveler
I second @SilleeMee 's suggestion wholeheartedly! I own a couple of Michael Todd's cleansing brushes in addition to several other items as well. I've gifted the cleansing brush several times with very happy feedback. Replacement brush heads are available on their site and customer service has always been above par. Watch for sales, often featured on the morning show promos with 50% savings. You won't be disappointed.
