Q: How is this different from a microdermabrasion product?
A: Clarisonic uses sonic oscillation to clean gently, deeply, and thoroughly. Plus, it can be used twice daily and should be used as part of your everyday skin-care routine.

Q: How do I use the Clarisonic?
A: Prior to first use, charge device for 24 hours. To use the Clarisonic, remove eye makeup, if wearing. Next, wet face with warm water and apply cleanser. Wet the Clarisonic brush head with warm water, press the power button, and gently move the brush in circular movements across the face. It's recommended that you use the brush for 20 seconds on the forehead, 20 seconds on the nose and mouth, and 10 seconds on each cheek. When finished, rinse the brush and place back in the charger.

Q: What type of cleanser should I use?
A: Clarisonic cleansers are optimized for use with the Clarisonic device, but you can use any nonabrasive cleanser.

Q: Can it be used on sensitive skin?
A: Yes, and Clarisonic offers both sensitive and normal brush heads. If you use a non-Clarisonic cleanser, test it with the device on your forearm prior to using it on your face. Some cleansers may irritate your skin when used with the Clarisonic skin-care system.*

*Consult your skin-care professional. Do not use Clarisonic with mechanical exfoliants, such as microbeads or shells.

Q: Can anyone use the Clarisonic?
A: The Clarisonic is designed for use with most skin types. If you're under a doctor's care for any skin condition, or if you have or think you may have a skin condition, consult your physician before using the Clarisonic.

Q: Can I share brush heads?
A: It's recommended that you do not share a brush head with another individual. Do not share brushes if you or any other Clarisonic user have any skin conditions.

Q: How often should I charge my Clarisonic?
A: Charge your Clarisonic overnight after every 30 minutes of use. For example, if you use the brush once a day, you only need to charge it overnight every 30 days. If you use it twice a day, charge it overnight once every two weeks. If the Clarisonic is used for 30 or more minutes without being charged, the brush handle will beep immediately following the brushing cycle to alert you to place it in the cradle for charging.

Q: How often should I replace the brush head?
A: The Clarisonic brush heads should be replaced every three—four months, as the bristles become fatigued and less effective over time.
