The cheap old lady in me convinced me to buy the Olay Professional face cleansing brush. I used it for a few months, and had no complaints about it. It didn't really make a difference that I could notice on my face by looking at it, but it did FEEL more clean. After getting a facial at a spa, I was told by the lady that the Olay brush is bad for your skin because the head rotates 360 degrees, which actually DRAGS your skin around. As gross as this sounds, I wasn't quite convinced (the spa sells the Clarisonic products, so I assumed it was a marketing ploy).
After a couple of weeks, the spa had a 25% off sale on all products so I marched right over and bought the Clarisonic Mia 2. I have been using it once a day since then, and it has definitely made a difference both in how my skin looks and how it feels. The cleansing cycle is only 60 seconds and the head doesn't rotate, it vibrates or sends super sonic magical waves into your skin! It is amazing! Aside from it's pretty pink self, it is a smaller size than the original Clarisonic (great for travel, and yes, I will take this with me), has a fantastic magnetic charger, and a cap for the cleansing brush after you're done using it. I will occasionally use it on my neck too as I'm terrified about getting old lady chicken skin there. This thing is magic, and there really is a difference between this, and the cheaper Olay version. Your skin is worth the investment!
- Cleanses 6x better than with your hands alone in just 60 seconds
- Works with skin, not against it, to gently massage away impurities trapped within pores
- Prepares skin for better absorption of creams, serums and moisturizers
- Gentle enough to use 2x a day
