Clarisonic is amazing!!!!! My husband has oily skin especially in his t-zone and Clarisonic has been great! He uses it daily with the refreshing gel cleanser. It also does great on my skin which is normal. I use it 2 times a week to help exfoliate. I highly recommend clarisonic

I have never used soap on my face at all....I wash with Noxema. Then, I have used Merle Norman since I was in high school...that pink mask of hers is wonderful and keeps the poors on my nose small and free of white heads/black heads! As I have aged, I have taken on the appearance of a Ringling Brothers Bearded Woman....I am researching that NO-NO thing for about a year, and am just about to "pull the trigger" and get one!
I wish anyone on here that has used one would say something about it....I have talked at work and watched all the YouTube reviews.....I think this is well worth the money.

My Mom just got the NoNo in the mail yesterday! So far she loves it! She used it on her mustache and chin hairs! Lol. She uses and has used Noxzema for about 50 years now! She'll be 60 next year and she looks great! I should suck it up and switch to it!

Do you just use it on your face?

I have no idea what that thing is for. You poke it with your skin and the black/whiteheads are supposed to come out?

Here is a little summary from a website:

A Derma Roller is a small hand held device that is mainly used for Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). As you roll it onto your skin, it triggers its regeneration by signaling your body to naturally produce new collagen and elastin, the proteins that make up most of the dermis.

A Skin Roller can be used for a variety of skin problems, including:

Alopecia (Hair Loss / Hair Thinning)
Wrinkles
Scars (including acne scars)
Skin Discoloration / Hyper-Pigmentation / Uneven skin tone
Cellulite, Stretch Marks
Large/Open pores
Loose / Sagging skin

You roll it across your skin 5-ish times each horizontally, vertically, diagonally. Spas / Derms charge $100-250 to roll it across your face for you . Here is a site where you can read more: Derma Roller FAQ | Dr. Roller SHOP

I Love the Clarisonic too! It really does make the pores normal sized again.

Liz Earle is the best IMO...I wouldn't be without the Cleanse and Polish, Skin Repair Moisturiser and Gentle Face Exfoliator...see link below.

I've never heard of this before, do you know if there's any difference between the surgical steel and titanium needles. I've read surgical steel is fine if you're only using it once like a salon does, but titanium is better for repeat home use. Other sites say surgical steel only, other sites say titanium is much better and more expensive than surgical steel. Do you have if it makes a difference?

That roller looks scary, so I ended up ordering some pads from Sephora. Let's see if it works.

Woohoo, my Derm roller ($6.70 from amazon) has arrived, and I will try it out soon. There are lots of videos showing how to use it on YouTube, and reading all the fabulous reviews on Amazon totally convinced me to try it.

They say to disinfect it with alcohol after use.
