When it comes to skin care, there are so many products to choose from that it can get beyond confusing at times. We’ve tried so many cleansers, toners, and masques that it is hard to remember which is which. And while we have definitely found some standouts, nothing has totally changed our skin until Clarisonic^®. This oscillating skin care brush deeply cleanses, stimulates, and clarifies the skin. Made by the folks who brought us the electric Sonicare^® toothbrush, Clarisonic is without a doubt the secret to skin so soft you might not be sure what to do with it. After about a month of using Clarisonic, which company reps say "is clinically shown to be 2x more effective at cleansing the skin than manual cleansing with soap and water," we may be missing a few wrinkles that had once taken up residence on our foreheads.

Clarisonic, online at www.clarisonic.com, is said to not just reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but also decreases oily areas, dry skin patches, blemishes, and the appearance of visible pores. No joke. It does that and a whole lot more. And although the company makes a cleanser, you can use your favorite cleanser with this product. You can also pretty much throw away your exfoliant, because you won’t need it with this beauty tool. The Clarisonic is waterproof, comes with a plug-in charger, and even beeps when you are done cleansing each section of your face. With skin that feels as great as ours does after just a month of use, we give this product the highest possible recommendation. Clarisonic Skin Care was created by the Bellevue, Wash.-based Pacific Bioscience Laboratories Inc. and is used as a pretreatment by many top dermatologists and spas. It retails for $195 and is available at www.clarisonic.com, and at retailers including Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Beauty.com, Sephora, and Bliss. It is also distributed through dermatologists, medi-spas, and cosmetic surgeons.
