List Price: $195.00 USD
New From: $162.00 In Stock
Release date May 20, 2011.

Let there be no doubt about it but that the Clarisonic Face Brush is a great product, even if it is a bit over priced. Think about it for a moment. You can now buy a good quality DVD player, which is a far more complex piece of electronics, for less than $100.

The irony is that the adds for this product seem to for the most target women removing makeup. Of course this would be a great market niche but for me, I see a lot more people using it.

What about restaurant workers for instance. It seems to me that anyone who works in this type of environment that can wreak havoc one ones complexion could make good use of a deep cleaner machine like this.

What many people don't realize is that standard hand scrubbing can actually force grime and bacteria down into skin pores. On the other hand, the ultra-sonic cleaning action of the Clarisonic Face Brush actually vibrates dirt and contaminants up and out.

So this would definitely be a great tool for the person with a skin condition who wears makeup. It would allow them to wear their makeup during the day and then completely remove it when they get home, before it has time to clog pores.

I can also see this tool being used to clean anything that's delicate, yet needs a thorough cleaning. Watches, jewelry, delicate electronics and machinery and the list just goes on and on in my mind.

You see the brushes don't spin like in a standard mechanical brush cleaner. Rather, they vibrate at a rate of 300 times per second, so you don't have the “abrasive effects” that you tend to get with a standard spinning scrubber.

The benefits of this product can be seen immediately. You will experience softer, smoother skin after the first use and your face will really look and feel squeaky clean. My pimples don't last as long (sometimes disappear in less than 24 hours which never happened before), and my expensive skin care products are more effective. The real reason for the purchase was a bunch of blackheads on my chin and they are diminishing in quantity. Also they are more brown now than black which I could see after using a Biore strip. Hopefully they will eventually disappear. I recommend this product.

This product is one of the best things I've ever bought for myself... It does exactly what it says: cleans your skin better than you ever thought you could, mildly exfoliates, and just makes your skin look fabulous. I can also tell it is softening my fine lines on my forehead (which are just starting). Once you use a clarisonic, you'll never go back to washing your face the regular way. I really like the Pro better than the one my friend bought awhile ago, b/c I changed it to a two minute timer b/c I have very oily skin, and I also like to be able to customize the speed (high after the gym, normal on a regular day). A FANTASTIC buy... a must for anyone who is looking for a boost to their facial skin. Plus, if you buy the spot attachment, you can use it on rough places like your upper chest, elbows, and knees (it has a special speed built in for body areas).

Pregnancy and Acne: A Very Serious Topic

January 24th, 2010 admin Posted in Adult Acne, Pregnancy and Acne, Research and News, Uncategorized No Comments »

One of the side effects of pregnancy on the bodies systems is an increased level of hormones that in turn, can produce a number of changes on the skin, with acne being one of them. In women who aren't pregnant, there is the option of treating the acne with a number of readily available drugs including Accutane.

However; for women who are in even the very earliest stages of their pregnancy, drugs like Accutane in particular, simply aren't an option. It's important to bear in mind that as it pertains to pregnancy and acne, drugs that are deemed relatively safe can have long term effects on unborn children that still remain unknown.

Common Acne Treatment Drugs


(Accutane) should not even be considered in even the most severe cases of pregnancy and acne. In fact it is recommended that women who feel that they might become pregnant should stop taking this drug one month beforehand. Fact: fully 25-35 percent of pregnancies where Accutane exposure occurs in the first trimester do result in birth defects.

(Retin-A) also carries a warning regarding pregnancy and acne on its label. Although no known birth defects have resulted from its use, the fact remains that an unacceptable level of this drug will pass from the mother to the infant being carried in the womb.

(Tetracyclene) is an antibiotic that is commonly prescribed for acne. Once again this is another drug that should not be taken during pregnancy, as it has been shown to inhibit bone development. Another side effect on children who were exposed to this drug as infants, is a yellowing of the teeth.

Pregnancy and Acne - Safety and Prevention

The risk to unborn children presented by Accutane is so great that doctors who prescribe it to women in their childbearing years commonly recommend that two forms of birth control be used simultaneously. It's just that dangerous to unborn children.

Prior to taking Accutane, all doctors will also require that a pregnancy test be taken at least one week before hand. It's also highly recommended that women who are being considered for Accutane undergo counseling to learn how various birth control methods can fail.
