What the gurus are saying

Daily use risks leaving skin raw and sensitized over time, according to experts who have tested prolonged application firsthand. While the device does represent an early milestone in beauty tech, newer alternatives have since emerged that clean effectively without the same irritation potential. Those drawn to sonic cleansing may want to start with shorter sessions or fewer weekly uses rather than daily application.

"I was deep in the trenches of using my Clarisonic every single day back when I first started my channel, almost 10 years ago. I have since learned from personal experience that they are definitely super rough and overly abrasive on the skin and over longterm use can definitely result in skin sensitivity, irritation, not great stuff."

"With cleansing devices like Clarisonic, you end up cleansing every single day and it's usually too much. If you use a cleansing oil or cleansing balm instead, you can still melt down blackheads. In my twenties I used devices like this a lot because you don't really think about your skin barrier yet, you just want the quick easy way, but I think cleansing devices were a lot more popular back then."

"I find it really helps clean my skin a little bit better and not as potentially irritated as like the Clarisonic were."
