No no no no no. Had the Mia for a very short time. Used it lightly, softest brush and broken caps. Sold that thing and have never ever missed it!

The Clarisonic doesn't exfoliate, but makes the cleaner penetrate your pores better for better cleaning. There is mild exfoliation. If you can't handle every day, twice a day, then just use it at night, after you are the dirtiest, then use it every other night if that is too much. You can use a daily exfoliating scrub for the nights without the Clarisonic. I use mine pretty much every other night. The charge lasts and lasts. I have the one with the body attachment, so I really use it to scrub my work away!

I recommended you try it. It didn't do a thing for me and I sent it back but I would still recommend you try it. Only YOU will know if it works for YOU. If you try it and it works great! If it doesn't work you know and are no longer wondering when there is a presentation.

I love the Clarisonic. I have always used something to apply cleanser be it the super harsh Buff-Puff back in the day, or a nice soft face brush, or even a washcloth. Any thing which creates friction against the skin is a form of mild exfoliation and this includes the Clarisonic.

I will never be without a Clarisonic. I use mine several times per week. My face always feels cleaner and softer (before adding moisturizer after using the Clarisonic. I vary the brush heads because I like the different feels of the various brushes. I always have on hand the deep pore or acne brush; sensitive or delicate; and a regular one. I'm planning on trying the new Luxe, but have to check to see if it works with an older Mia unit.

I love Purity and when I buy the 32oz size I'm paying the same thing I would pay for 32oz total of an $8-to-$10/ 8oz size of drugstore cleanser. However, the Clarisonic makes Cetaphil, Neutrogena and other reputable drugstore brands perform at an amped up level.

I use a washcloth.......This may be a wonderful device for your skin but the cost....I could buy two tires and well, I just use my washcloth but if you have the money buy it and you can always return it.......I would think it would clean very good and feel very nice. Let us know what you decide.

A Salux cloth is great for exfoliation. (I got mine on Amazon, but their website is the same price.) It is rough and super great for the whole body, but you use a light touch and your favorite cleaner, you can use it on your face too! (No silly, I have two, one for my body and one for my face. They are quite long, for getting around the back, so you can cut it into a smaller one for the face and save the rest for the body.) I also use baking soda and my cleaner for super light exfoliation. I use PCs 2% BHA and 4% BHA for chemical exfoliation. I think I deserve a spa night, a long bath, facial while in the tub with my book, shave, and super yummy smelling salts! I've had a massive sinus headache since Friday that finally broke after lunch today.

Not for me. It gave me broken capillaries.

Wayne Goss had that issue when he tried a different brush head. When it went back to the sensitive, his problem went away. The acne brush is softer than the gentle according to their comparison chart. He went to the deep clean and that broke his capillaries.

The Clarisonic is a must have for me. I use it every day, and I swear my skincare products work much better for it.

My dermatologist said not to waste your money, so I have never purchased one. Figured she knows what she is talking about!
