The Clarisonic is more than just a tool – it’s an innovative device that uses sonic technology to improve the health of your skin. Not only will you notice a difference in how your skin looks, but you can be rest assured that it’s functioning better. And luckily, with different models for different lifestyles, achieving these skincare benefits is easy.

At a glance: The Clarisonic brush

All Clarisonic systems have some very important things in common. Each has an outer brush with an inner oscillating brush; this inner brush moves at a high frequency (over 300 movements per second) for a clean that’s twice as effective as manual cleansing. And all models are gentle enough to use morning and night.

Each Clarisonic system includes:

• Cordless Clarisonic model
• Charger cradle
• Brush head(s)
• Product samples
• Manufacturer warranty

Some things never go out of style: The Clarisonic Classic

This is where it all began: the classic Clarisonic Skin Care System. Allure and Oprah both love this beauty splurge, and for good reason. Clarisonic is beneficial to all skin types, and can help reduce oiliness, dry skin patches and clogged pores. And, it makes it easier for the skin to absorb other products.

The classic system is a good place to start if you’re new to this technology. Each kit comes with a sensitive brush head and a cordless Clarisonic with two speeds, to account for different skin sensitivities. From here, you can later try out different brush heads as needed. Each brush is equipped with a T-Timer™ to help you cleanse each section of your face evenly. Your kit also comes with samples of the Refreshing Gel Cleanser, Gentle Hydro Cleanser and Nourishing Care Cleanser.

For the girl on the go: Clarisonic Mia

Take Clarisonic’s patented sonic technology with you on your next adventure with the Clarisonic Mia Sonic Cleansing System, a smaller version that boasts the same skin benefits as the original. The Mia has just one button and one speed and is small enough to toss into any suitcase, or use conveniently at home. And, it comes with a Compact pLink™ International Charger, for use wherever life takes you.

Have it all: Clarisonic PLUS System

Ready to experience clearer, smoother skin from head to toe? Share the benefits of Clarisonic with your entire body. The PLUS is the most versatile Clarisonic system, and includes multiple brush heads and multiple speeds, allowing you to tailor your treatment. You can use brush heads from the Classic or Mia system, as well.  

• Speeds: The PLUS System lets you alternate between three different speeds, plus the targeted Spot Therapy mode (normal and pulse). This gives you a wider range of cleansing modes to choose from, which is helpful if some areas need deeper exfoliation.

• Brushes: The original Clarisonic PLUS Skin Care System with Spot Treatment comes with two brush heads: sensitive and spot therapy. The newest Clarisonic PLUS Skin Care System with Deep Pore Cleansing - Blue comes with a third brush head – the patent-pending Deep Pore Cleansing Brush.

• About Spot Therapy: Exfoliate and polish the entire body! This newer feature makes it possible to achieve glowing skin all over, focusing on spots where your skin needs the most attention: decollete, hands, arms, elbows or feet. The Clarisonic Body Spot Therapy Brush Head works only with the PLUS or PRO model.

Accessories for your Clarisonic

Another way to tailor your Clarisonic experience is to experiment with different brush heads to find the one that’s best suited to your skincare needs. There are four main brush heads for the face, and they work interchangeably with the Classic, Mia and PLUS systems:

• Clarisonic Replacement Brush Head - Sensitive. This is the basic brush head that comes with most Clarisonic systems and is a good starting point that’ll help your skin become used to sonic cleansing.

• Clarisonic Replacement Brush Head - Normal. Use this brush head if you have normal skin, as well as on the body and the décolleté.

• Clarisonic Replacement Brush Head - Delicate. For anybody with extra-sensitive skin or skin conditions, this delicate brush head will provide a gentler cleansing experience.

• Clarisonic Deep Pore Cleansing Brush Head. If you tend toward oilier skin and blemishes, this Clarisonic brush head will help rid your skin of impurities that clog the pores and lead to acne.

All about the eyes: Clarisonic Opal

If crow’s feet and expression lines have made their mark on the delicate skin around your eyes, the Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion System might be just the solution. The Opal uses sonic fusion technology, delivering 7500 gentle micro-massages per minute onto the skin surrounding the eye, which improves resilience and helps active ingredients to penetrate into the skin. Like other Clarisonic devices, Opal doesn’t require much time – just 30 seconds per eye, twice a day, and you’ll notice an improvement in skin’s elasticity, as well as a reduction in fine lines and dark circles. And, it’s dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested.

This palm-sized device also works wonders on other areas of the face, like the lip, brow and forehead. Use the Opal with the Clarisonic Anti-Aging Sea Serum, which contains potent marine extracts and botanicals to diminish fine lines and dark circles.

Whether you’re a busy professional who is constantly on the go or are looking for an advanced anti-aging system, Clarisonic has multiple systems designed to meet those needs. And with newer innovations like specialized brushes for the body, Clarisonic can become an easy way to take care of your entire body.
