Hmmmm. there's a Groupon special on this for $23: Sirius Sonic Skin Care System | cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and tone with one device

Given some good reviews compared to the Clairsonic.

Anyone have problems with premature battery death in the Clairsonics?

Does Clairsonic use disposable batteries, or is it rechargeable?

It comes with a charger.... can't tell with the Sirius... it did say 'batteries' though so I'm thinking they're replaceable.

I just got mine last night and it's rechargeable. I have the Olay brush, and I think this is much more powerful and I feel like it did more than the Olay brush did.

By the way, has anyone ever used Nubrilliance? https://www.trynubrilliance.com/

I retrieved an ancient Salton cleansing brush from the depths of a closet the other day... it still works! and has 2 speeds, slow and slower. But JFTHOI I started using it and I saw results (good ones, lol) just after one use! Old brushes too! I was ready to give up and just hide in a closet for the remainder of my days....

Question: Do we exfoliate our lips too?

The Sonic uses 2 AA Batteries (lasts about 10 months). Comes with 5 brush heads. I'm liking this one!

Congrats!! You're going to LOVE it! I haven't had a problem with my battery at all. In fact, it lasts so long on a charge that sometimes I forget that there's actually a battery in it. I keep it in the shower & wait until the charge is really low before I recharge. I don't know if that has anything to do with how great the battery is. I'm going to check out that Nubrilliance now.

Yes! I do it with the Clarisonic. I used to use sugar & jojoba oil. But the Clarisonic seems to work just as well. Plus, that's one less thing on my bathroom counter

That Nubrilliance seems really cheap for what it's supposed to do. I'm going to read up on that & find some reviews. Sounds interesting.

I used to get microbrasion done regularly when I lived in NYC. When I moved to NJ, I couldn't find the perfect place & going into the city for microbrasion is such a hassle. I started using "Modern Friction" by Origins (Modern Friction™ | Origins.com). I swear it's just as good as traditional microbrasion. And it's a tiny fraction of the price. Their "Checks & Balances Frosty Face Wash" is a winner too.

Humm, $14.95 for a trial, then total of $240 to purchase. Not exactly cheap IMO, but worth it if it does all it claims.

I actually purchased it, and I've been pretty happy with it, I had some rough patches on my temple from sun damage, and after about three secessions, that went away. It leaves you really red afterwards, but no pain, and I've only used it about once a month, for maybe a year, but I think I'm going to start using it more and in conjunction with some of these other treatments.

I saw a Christy Brinkley on television and she really looks great, she's my age and she says that she's hasn't had plastic surgery, but that she has a wonderful dermatologist. It just makes me think that there are indeed products and procedures that slow down the aging process. Anyway, I love to occasionally pamper myself, and I hate going to beauty shops and spas, so these home treatments are ideal for me.

Me too, until I started ordering it. Although it really does sound interesting, and all these things are a lot cheaper than the procedures I've paid for at the Medi-Spa, and probably less painful too.

... Lol! I ordered that Sirius thing... along with the needle thingys and stuff I can't remember anymore! I wonder if the sonic waves stimulate the brain too?
