I use the Sonicleanse now for about 6 weeks and am absolutely satisfied! One should not expect that the skin is suddenly perfect, but my complexion has been very much improved. No scaly bodies more, much less impurities, reduced expression lines. The application feels great, is comfortable and fun, so I've actually used the device since the purchase every morning and evening. Normally me is something boring, but I am always right on the face cleansing! You should definitely be careful not to push in the cleaning, but only gently to drive with the device on the face. In the beginning I was rather "scrubbed" and the skin was then a little irritated. I had to recharge the Sonicleanse also the first time last week - the battery has held thus 5 weeks. Let's see if this is in a year, no matter how ... No idea if the Clarisonic is even better; I can not imagine what that would justify twice the price to me anyway. By Sonicleanse you get everything you need at a good price-performance ratio.
