I was so excited when Clarisonic came to Australia - I have been wanting one for years. I used it for a few months every night but I must admit I don't use it anymore - I just didn't see any major changes in my skin from using the brush. I used the gentle brush head but it still feels a but rough on my skin which is fair with alot of redness on my cheeks always. Honestly, I think if you have invested in a good cleanser (I'm now using SKII Gel cleaner which is fantastic at removing make up and dirt gently) I don't think this brush is doing anything extra for your skin. I have normal to combination type skin which is not very oily, perhaps if you have very oily skin this product would be more useful.

Moisturizers -SKII - Skin Signature Cream
rated 4 of 5
APD 1/18/2012 10:28:00 PM

My news years resolution this year was to improve my skin – I purchased a range of SKII products and have committed to using them daily for a few months. See my thoughts so far below. First some background, my skin type is normal to combination, generally it's pretty good. My concerns are – constant redness on my cheeks, many visible pores (black heads) on my nose which I have never been able to shift, every few weeks I get some white heads coming through on my forehead and chin area and general skin tone unevenness. In the past I have used all sorts of products most recently Clarins and Algologie but I have been thinking about SKII for some time now and decided it was time to give it a go! I purchased the following products which I have now been using daily since Jan 1 – Facial Treatment Essence, Skin Signature (day) moisturiser, Facial Treatment Clear Lotion, Facial Treatment Gentle Cleaner (tube) and the Facial Cleansing Gel (pot). I bought the two cleaners as the sales assistant suggested I should use the Gel at night to remove make up and the Gentle cleaner in the morning as it's more gentle (and it smells really nice and rosey). However, I have not been using the tube cleaner recently as I don’t like the way it feels on my skin – my skin feels to 'squeaky clean' and a bit dry after using it (which is strange as its supposed to be the more gentle of the two). On the other hand I LOVE the Gel cleanser, which does not leave my skin with this feeling, it feels beautiful and silky on my skin so I've been using this day and night. All other products have been great so far – While I still have the same pores on my nose, my skin looked really great during week 2. Now its week 3 and we've had a few really hot days in a row and I had some pimples come through on my forehead and chin. Overall, I'm very happy with the range so far but am looking forward to continuing to monitor my skins progress over the next few weeks with the products. It is very expensive and I want to see some serious results if I'm going to purchase again. I love searching this site for others thoughts and reviews – if anyone is interested, I'll continue to post my progress with the range over the next few months!
