Sonic Skin: How The Clarisonic Skincare Brush Works

There are only two things you need to know about the Clarisonic Skincare Brush:

- It cleanses your skin 6x better than regular washing if you wear makeup. Even if you don’t, it’s getting your skin 2x cleaner.

- It makes your favorite skincare lotions and creams work better. Your skin absorbs more products because it’s so clean (example: 61% better absorption of skin-brightening vitamin C).

Oh sure, there are other key facts about it. For one, you only need to brush for one scant little minute. You outta be brushing your teeth longer than that.

Frankly, this brush had me at, “Makes my skincare products work better,” but I’m also a fan of juicy pictures. To demonstrate the 6x-better claim, a study group got slathered up in as much pore-clogging makeup as their skin could handle:



One side was cleansed with Clarisonic and cleanser the other side was cleansed by hand. Both sides were rinsed in the same way. Like the close-up clogged-pore shots? That reminds me of another benefit: think how much smaller those fine lines and pores look when you get all the gunk scooped out?

Plus, the Clarisonic brush is engineered not to pull or tug skin. According to co-creator Robb Akridge, it works within skin’s natural elasticity, so it never stretches or pulls your skin.

Ooh! And because the bristles are rounded at the tip, you’ll never scratch your skin. And did I mention (or is it obvious?) that this brush used sonic technology? The vibrating bristles move (mere millimeters!) at 300x per second.
