Using any nonabrasive facial cleanser, Clarisonic works to unclog pores for deeper cleansing, working with the skin’s natural elasticity and without stripping it.  It is safe for virtually all skin types and for daily use and is clinically proven to be twice as effective at cleansing the skin as manual cleansing with soap and water.   With it’s built in one minute timer, Clarisonic beeps to indicate when it is time to clean the next area of the face and is as easy to use as a powered toothbrush - so no additional time is added to the beauty ritual.  It is also waterproof so can safely be used in the bathroom and shower. 

“These days, people are using sunscreens daily, long-lasting makeup and self-tanners, so it’s imperative to properly cleanse the face if you want clear skin,” says a leading dermatologist Dr. Ranella Hirsch, “Dirt, oil and bacteria left on the skin can wreak havoc, and without clean pores, treatment products like acne fighters and anti-ageing moisturisers are less effective.”

Because it cleans so effectively yet gently, Clarisonic is recommended by dermatologists for daily cleansing of skin – even the sensitive skin of people with rosacea, acne or seborrhea. It reduces oily areas, dry skin patches and blemishes and diminishesthe appearance of pores, as well as helps men with shaving rashes.  It has also been shown to be helpful for people with ageing skin – reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Clarisonic’s gentle sonic micro-massage action cleans skin so well that it also prepares it to absorb skin care products more effectively.  Studies show up to 61% better absorption of Vitamin C after cleansing with Clarisonic compared with manual cleansing allowing the skin to experience the full benefits of serums and moisturisers.

David Hughes, Head of International Operations for Pacific Bioscience Laboratories, makers of Clarisonic who was also one of the original team responsible for the successful roll out of Sonicare in the UK concluded “While individuals embrace the plethora of skin care treatment products on the market, cleansing continues to be one of the most overlooked categories, similar to dental care when the Sonicare toothbrush was first introduced.  What originally seemed like an extravagant dental accessory turned into a cult classic, changing the way countless individuals care for their teeth.  With Clarisonic the approach is the same: use superior sonic technology to dramatically improve how we care for our face, and in turn, our appearance.”
