Whether your skin care routine has become stagnant or you’re struggling with a specific skin care concern like acne or aging, Clarisonic allows you to build a basic routine that more effectively achieves visible results by improving the quality of your regimen. The Clarisonic skin care system is based on proven clinical results, and after a short time, you’ll observe improved skin tone, smaller pores and skin that’s overall more healthy and radiant.

Clarisonic: Cleansing that’s far more effective

How does it work? The Clarisonic Skin Cleansing System is centered on a handheld electric skin care brush that features a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second. Each brush head has two synergistic brushes: an outer stationary brush and an inner oscillating brush that work together to pry open pores and loosen the dirt and oil trapped inside.

Think this style of cleansing compares to a plain old washcloth? Think again! In less than one minute, the brush’s unique micro-massage action is able to eliminate over six times as much makeup and twice as much dirt and debris from your skin than normal cleansing. And, by better purifying your pores, the cleansing brush better preps your skin to absorb the active ingredients in your skin care regimen for an enhanced, more effective routine.

And, it all starts with a simple electronic skin care brush – from there, you can personalize the regimen by adding the specialized brush heads and cleansers that are right for your skin type and the particular challenges of your skin.
