I've heard from some derms and estheticians that they worry about that swirling instead of the sonic vibration that doesn't pull as much on the skin. I'm not sure that I'd worry about it, but I'm just a PICU doc and not a derm 😀 If I was you I'd keep using the MK brush that has done so well for you currently and keep an eye open for all of the Clarisonic Mia2 deals that come up on occasion. I'd swap out to a Clarisonic when your MK brush is worn out, but you have time to wait for a deal!

Hi Christine, I'm 51 years old and have been using the Mary Kay Skinvigorate Cleansing Brush for about 3 weeks now. About two weeks ago I went to a friend's birthday party and all my friends were asking me what I had done to my skin! The brush is wonderful! I am a little concerned with one of the comments that the swirling action wasn't good for the skin. My skin actually looks tighter. What are your thoughts about this?

Over time I've decided that the Clarisonic does do better because it is sturdier, but I don't know of a Korean alternative. I'd think there are some great Asia exclusive versions, I feel like so many great skin care and beauty items come out of Asia that there's no way they wouldn't have a similar product!

Hi Christine, I'm about 30 years old, my skin is normal to combination and very sensitive skin, I have a lot of black and white head in the nose area that I cant do anything about it. I m looking for this kind of product but don't know which brand I should go for? maybe the clarison due to its' reputation? how do you think? if yes which one is suit to me? mia, plus or pro? there is a Korean beauty brand for this kind of item, anyone has tried it yet? thanks

Hi, I just started using the Clarisonic Plus, it is amazing. My dermatologist was using it on my face pre peel, and I was hooked. It really makes a huge difference in removing dead skin cells. I bought mine from skinstore.com and just received 20% off! If anyone is considering, it's still going on. Best thing is that you can register it online and it has a 2 year warranty.

My daughter and I bought the Clarisonic Pro. Both lasted slightly past the warranty period.. of course!
The brushes barely operate on the lowest speed.
Clarisonic won't do anything about the failure to operate.
Between us we blew about $700. Buyer beware! Never again..!

For those that think the Clarisonic is too expensive, some Shoppers Drug Marts carry the Clarisonic. As a collector of Optimum points, yesterday, I was ablve to redeem 80,000 points towards $200.00 of cosmetic products. I decided on the Clarisonic Plus, and paid the difference (it retails for $265.00). It comes with 1 body and 1 sensitive face brush. With some additional points, I also purchased one sensitve brush head twin pack so each of my daughters can use it as well. I spent about $120.00 taxes in, to get everything. The Plus also includes three face cleaner samples, and one body wash sample. Looking forward to using it and spending less money on acne and other skin care products!

Thank you and all your lovely readers. I almost made a mistake! I was debating about which one, when really the question wasn't cost/effectiveness but is it safe for me? I have trouble being too rough and using too much pressure with toothbrushes, so I will be skipping the nifty brushes. Sad and happy to be safer than sorry.

Do you or anyone else have any thoughts on the Episonic skin care brush? I cannot seem to find a review for it online. I wonder if that's a sign….hmmm…

Thanks! 🙂

The Mia really is a good compromise. I think if you want something that will really last, the Clarisonic is the way to go. There are some great deals on the Mia this holiday season too!
