Re: Clarisonic vs. Pop Sonic The Leaf Sonic Facial Cleansing?

Hi tweety--I had to go find out what the pop sonic was---I have a clarisonic and I have a dupe  for the pop sonic or luna that I got off Amazon for a whole lot less than the pop. I use both--the clarisonic at night and the luna (pop) in the morning. I think they do a good job but I swear by the clarisonic myself. I have wonderful skin at age 62--I always have due to good genes. I started using the clarisonic about 3 years ago and that was a huge game changer for me. Skin care and make upgo on so much better now and am using less. I think you will need to try each to find out. However--go on line to Amazon first for the pop sonic and then go to ebay for the clarisonic. Prices are much better. I got a brand new Mia 2 clarisonic for my DD for Xmas for $39.  If you are worried about the cost of the clarisonic brushes, there is an off brand that is identical that cost pennies compared to buying original heads.

To me, Claisonic is and feels more agressive to my skin.  I have the Foreo Luna Mini and that works well for me.

 

I should mention I did use the Clarisonic with a sensitive brush head as well as the cashmere one, with very gentle (Cerave Hydrating Cleanser and Lancome Gelatee Comfort) cleansers.  My skin till felt irritated when using the Clarisonic :/

I have the knock off Foreo Luna from Amazon. The Pop Sonic is similar to the design of some of the knock offs for a fraction of the cost. I would go that way instead of buying the Pop. I have the Clarisonic and the Foreo knock off. I like them both, and like @wagirl, I use the Clarisonic at night and the Foreo in the morning depending upon my day and eczema. The Foreo is gentler than the Clarisonic, so if you have sensitive skin, go with the Foreo/Pop knock off.

AKgirl--are you using too much pressure when you used the Clarisonic? That's what I was doing , until I let up and just let the brush touch my skin. I use the Radiance brush which is a step up from the cashmere one, which I thought was a waste. I also use the delicate head. My skin is sensitive but I can tolerate that brush nicely.

Thank you @wagirl, I just might return the current clarisonic brush head I have and try the Radiance one.  Since my skin feels irritated when using the C, I'm mindful to be light handed while using.

I have not tried the Pop Sonic but I swear by my Clarisonic. It feels like starting my day with a spa treatment and it has really helped my skin.

After trying The Leaf, it was only when I was rinsed my face that my cleanser started to lather !  Although The Leaf felt good, it was simply vibrating (not oscillating like the Clarisonic). Clarisonic's effectiveness in cleaning the skin has been proven through clinical studies. The Leafs' sales are driven by the appeal of convenience of use and saving money on brush heads - not on its effectiveness. In my experience and opinion, the Clarisonic far surpasses The Leaf on all levels. LONG LIVE THE CLARISONIC !!!

I bought a Leaf dupe from Amazon and I have to say I prefer the Clarisonic. The Clarisonic leaves your skin feeling inredibly smooth, the Leaf dupe makes my skin feel like I just used my hands.

i have both the clarisonic and the leaf dupe. I use the c sonic at night and the leaf dupe in the morning. I like them both and feel they compliment each other.
