Ok, I think it is time I break down and buy one of these.. I have been getting breakouts like a freakin' teenager! I am not sure if it is hormones, stress or what, but I have never had skin this bad! Specifically these small ones that pop up on my chin. (I read a interview with Kate Winslet in Vanity Fair and she talkes about how she got these when she reached her 30's, so I don't feel so bad) Anyways, tell me your experience please! I would post on the F&B board, but this has been beat into the ground enough over there.

Also, when is the Sephora F&F? I would love to shave a bit of $$ of the cost!

I *just* got mine a few days ago, so I've only used it twice, but I LOVE it! Even though it is too early to tell a huge difference in my skin, it definitely felt a ton cleaner and smoother after I used it both times. I would NOT be one bit surprised if it helps clear up most, if not all, of my acne issues and honestly, my skin does already look better after just using it the past two days. I ordered mine from Sephora last week because they had a 15% discount promotion going on and I had been waiting since December? for them to run that discount again....not sure when the F&F promotion discount may run.

You'll be so happy with your Clarisonic, I love mine!  I don't know when F&F is, I just recently used a 15% coupon for Sephora so I don't know when they'll have the next one.  There's a lot of girls on F&B who have purchased the Clarisonic from QVC and that one comes with 3 brush heads, 3 Clarisonic cleansers (which mine came with but I never used) and a full size Kate Somerville cleanser for 195, which seems pretty good since each brush head is 25.00 each.

I noticed that the skin store has 20% storewide and free shipping for a limited time, and they are an authorized retailer, so you could get the discount there.

Char...make sure you fill out the registration form yours came with (mine did when I ordered from Sephora) and you'll get a free brush head!

Sam, I will check that out, thanks!

*butting in*  What heads did you get?  Are the "normal" pretty hard/rough?  I'm afraid "sensitive" might be too soft.

They come with the sensitive unless you order the grey model, then that is normal.  Delicate would definitely be too soft for me.  I used the sensitive until I needed to replace then started with the normal (grey) head.  I really like the normal, it is rougher (shorter bristles) and feels like it's doing more but I happened to start using it at the same time I was taking tons of hormones and my chin broke out a bit.  I wasn't sure if it was the brush, so I switched back to the sensitive for awhile.  I'm currently back on the normal brush and love it.  I'll probably stay with the normal from here on out.

Ha...this reminds me that M owes me a new brush since he threw out my coupon for a freebie one.  I've been using the sensitive and think it works fine, but my skin is also different right now being pregnant (irritated more).

I love mine, though!  Definitely can tell a difference in my skin when I use it.

Thanks for reminding me! I heard about the free brush head on one of the other boards and was hoping that they would still be doing that when I register.

Wow, so this is normal when you reach your 30s?  I've had such horrible skin for the past year... and it's only gotten worse.  I set up an appt to see the dermatologist and I can't get in until next month.  I'll have to read up on this some more.  Would all 3 (norm, delicate, sensitive) work for acne?

If you get the Clarisonic, I would recommend getting it from QVC.  I ordered mine there and got a Kate Somerville cleanser along with the standard one and some bonus brush heads! I love it!
