Remember Dr. Robb from Clarisonic?

This is from former QVC host Gabrielle Kerr today:

Gabrielle Kerr

My good friend, Dr Robb of Clarisonic fame is back on QVC. You won’t believe what he has invented now!

April 7th Friday 9-11PM (Eastern) Jane and Shawn’s Beauty Secrets.

Welcome back, Dr. Robb!!!

The brand is skincare called Opulus.  I guess we'll find out more tonight.

@Caaareful Shopper   Most likely not buying, but might take a curiosity look, so thanks for posting.

I still have the first Clarisonic I bought so long ago - that one is the combo for face and body.  I use a mini which is somewhat newer more often though, although I don't use either on my face every day.  Age has its own way of telling me how often far better than a remote scientist or some beauty influencer!

@millieshops   for a while, that Clarisonic truly had a hold on me!  Then one day I just stopped using it.  I realized the brushes were actually what was making my skin so sensitive.  I was probably more a problem of me using it too often, but I stopped completely anyway.  

I don't use too much skincare at all (61, no wrinkles to speak of....yet), but interested as well.

Never got into Clarisonic.  I still use the Olay spin brush in the shower.  I remember when I was a teenager there was a palm-sized device with a brush on it that I loved.  I had acne and really felt it got my skin clean.  But, technology being what it was, it was not totally waterproof, so had to be careful with getting it wet and certainly couldn't use it in the shower. 

I don't know what happened to that thing, but as I got older I still liked a brush.  I finally found a wooden handled brush I liked and used until the bristles started falling out of it.  Then, I was unable to find a facial brush that I liked.  They were either too soft or too scratchy.  I tried a vibrating one kinda like Clarisonic once and didn't like it at all.  

I do have a dupe of those Foreo silicone cleansers, but no longer use it since I use my spin brush in the shower and the cleanser I use at the sink is either an oil or a cleansing balm which becomes and oil and those don't play well with silicone.

I have used Clarisonic for nearly 20 years so I'll check this out tonight. Looks pretty interesting.  Thanks for the posting @Caaareful Shopper !

I just googled it.  It's skincare that after a quick look, appears to be different components you can mix together in that "blender".  I better not watch because I'm always looking for the next good thing and I'm 3 brands behind right now.  🙂

I still have my Clarisonic and it still works, like using it every once in a while, should probably use it more often. If I am awake, I will check out Dr. Robb-always liked him..

Whatever happened to Clarisonic? Bankrupt? It was such a rage then nothing

I had the original model. Worked for a long time then kaput. Weird feeling throwing a $200 tool in the garbage 

We need another skin care line like...you know the saying

No, it did not go bankrupt.  He sold it out to LOreal, they discontinued it 'to focus on their other products'

Big company gobbled up smaller company and closed it.  Happens all the time....or they keep it and change/ruin it, ie Ojon, Philosopy!

Like @millieshops, I still have the original Clarisonic Mia (the unit with the smaller handle). It works fine and the last time I found Clarisonic brush heads from an online retailer I bought enough for a couple of years.  I have never used the unit daily, so the brushes generally last me a little longer than the 3 months the company used to recommend for changing brush heads. 

Sorry that I won't be able to see Dr. Robb tonight, but I am curious to see what he has to offer now.
