Review 1 for Aria™ Sonic Skin Cleansing System
Better the 2nd time Around
-05.20.13
Quick Take: easy to use, sleek easy to hold
I have used for over 10 years, and this new one is sleeker, and the battery/stand separation is great! Best skin care choice I ever made.

Review 2 for Aria™ Sonic Skin Cleansing System
FaceDoctor
Worth every penny
-05.19.13
Let me start off by saying I've never really written a review like this before. I'm a 30 year old guy who tries to take care of his skin but I've always been acne prone. I've tried every prescription and over the counter product but absolutely nothing comes close to the Clarisonic! My skin has never looked or felt better and I've only been using it for a week. Already someone has complimented on how baby smooth my skin seemed. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I can't believe what my skin has been missing out on all this time!

Review 3 for Aria™ Sonic Skin Cleansing System
As Good As Everyone Claims
-05.18.13
Quick Take: easy to use
I was extremely skeptical of using a brush on my face, because it seemed like it would have to be too harsh. But after hearing so many good things about it, I decided to research it. I couldn't find any negative reviews that came from a reputable source. I have really been desperate to find something to clear up my skin, because it recently started to get worse than it's ever been since I've been an adult. A few months ago, I started getting blackheads on my chin, and everything I tried was either ineffective or too harsh (I have very sensitive skin). The immediate result of using this brush was softer skin. After using it twice a day for a few weeks, my skin has gone back to its usual self. Those recent blackheads have disappeared. My skin still isn't perfect, but I'm hopeful that if I continue using this product, my skin will continue to improve. I wasn't in love with how strong the cleanser that came with it smells, but its gel consistency works really well with the brush, so I use it anyway. The smell isn't bad, just strong, in my opinion. If you're unhappy with your skin, I think it's worth it to try this. It's a lot of money upfront, but it's so effective that you should wind up saving time and money because you won't have to do anything else to clear up your skin, or to experiment with different products. And your skin will feel so much better! I still like to use moisturizer with SPF, and I do remove anything on my face with a quick rinse before using the brush, just because the idea of it getting on the brush is gross to me.

Review 5 for Aria™ Sonic Skin Cleansing System
6 Month Up-Date Review!
-05.06.13
Quick Take: easy to use, improves the skin, reduces the appearance of pours, gets rid of blackheads
Wish I could give this product 10 stars...it would be worth every single one of them!
My first few months using the Aria were sort of experimental for me. I tried all the speeds and several brush heads and the 2 different timed cleansing cycles...all of them are great! I found that using the longer cleaning cycle is great when I wear a lot of make-up...however, I "always" wash off as much of the make-up as possible "before" I use the Aria. I do this just to keep the brush from getting clogged with make-up and then not being able to get my face as clean as possible. I use the short cycle daily or with lighter make-up. I read all the instructions that came with the Aria and found that I like to apply my cleanser to my damp face instead of applying it to the brush..I find that applying it to the brush makes for a lot of waisted cleansing product...it tends to run down into the brush bristles and gum up the brush which in turn makes the brush more difficult to keep clean. Also when I tried applying my cleanser to the brush it tended to fly all over as soon as I turned it on so even more of my cleanser was waisted. When I apply my cleanser to my face first, I only have to use a tiny amount and I have no waist at all. I prefer the medium speed and sometimes the slower speed..the fast it just a little to much for me. I never ever us any of the scrubbing cleansers...the kind with deep cleansing particles. It seems to be bad for the brush and makes it not last as long plus it really doesn't do as good a job with deep cleansing as using your hands or as I do...I use one of the very small battery powered cleaning brushes that have sponge application pads just for the scrubbing cleansers or moisturizers. I find that the less pressure you put on the Aria the better it works...if you press it to you skin to much you loose all the power and you are robbing yourself of great cleansing qualities of all the Clairsonics. I have, over the past 6 months noticed a big difference in the appearance of pours...they are not as noticeable and I find I am not using as much concealer to hide them. Also it does seem to help with ingrown hairs that are on my chin and it gets rid of blackheads completely...but that does take a few months but it does get rid of them. The only complaint that I have about this Aria is the length of time it takes to recharge...it takes at least 12 hours to recharge and ....this may be my problem only...but my bathroom counter is in my bedroom so if my Aria needs to be charged up I have to put it in a different room for the night or the lights on it keep my awake all night long...they are very bright in the total darkness of my room...and they go on and off for the entire 12 hours then the lights just stay on until you unplug it.
I always thoroughly was my brush each and every time I use it and I clean off the unit after each use as well...I take a cotton swab and dip it in alcohol and clean out all around of where the brush is attached...you would be surprised at how much dirt and or excess make-up get under the brush. I never let it in the drying stand with a wet brush in it. I let it dry separately as well as the brush...then when they are both completely dry I put the brush back on the Aria. I don't want to take any chances of contamination or mold.
I had been looking at the Clairsonic's for some time before I finally bought one and I did read all the reviews...some of which I found sort of silly, but I wish I had bought one much sooner than I did! You can't go wrong with this product. It's not a miracle worker! And almost always you will have some minor skin problems when you try anything new on your face...these problems can and do last for a while but if they do not go away at least after 6 months of use..then it is not for you. But you need to give yourself a reasonable chance with the Clairsonic...it does improve the skin and for the first time in my life I have had people give me some great comments on my skin!!! Also if you do not keep the brushes extremely clean you will have problems as well.

Review 6 for Aria™ Sonic Skin Cleansing System
Skin Necessity
-05.01.13
Quick Take: easy to use
I have a Classic Clarisonic and a Mia 2 (just for traveling). I swore that I wasn't going to buy an Aria until my Classic died. Well, I couldn't wait any longer. I just WANTED it. I love it even more than my Classic because the stand takes up less space on my counter and there is no cord dangling around for when I don't need it charged. Well worth every penny!!

Review 7 for Aria™ Sonic Skin Cleansing System
It must be working!
-04.29.13
Quick Take: very easy to use
I was just thinking that I personally did not see a major difference in my skin when one of my classmates asked me what I had "done" : ) When I told her that I had been using the Clarisonic, she asked if I was sure I hadn't had anything done...lol. She said that my skin looked so smooth; she thought I had a peel. I am 47 years old.

Review 8 for Aria™ Sonic Skin Cleansing System
I have been missing out!!
-04.16.13
Quick Take: easy to use, effective, amazing
I have never really had issues with acne - I experience the occasional zit popping up on my chin but that is the extent of it. I have however ALWAYS dealt with tiny blackheads on my nose and oily skin. Nothing that makeup hasn't made disappear but seeing it every night after taking my makeup off has been gross. I finally splurged on the Clarisonic Aria when they were doing the 15% off beauty insider sale and COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!!! Aside from getting rid of my obnoxious black heads for the first time in YEARS within the first week, my skin has never felt or looked better. It amazes me after only 1-2 minutes of use my skin feels so soft, fresh, polished, exfoliated, etc. and it is so easy to use! I typically experienced oily skin in the past but everything feels like a happy medium now. I have only used the brush head that came in the box (sensitive), next month I plan to buy the normal and large pore brushes as well.
I went back and forth between the Mia2 and the Aria, I decided on the Aria for the drying/charging stand and the battery indicator light.

Quick Take: easy to use, amazing, skincare, massager
My skin has never been so soft before and I've been using it for a week now and my skin has never been better. I've even started using less skincare products as my skin improves and I'll never look back on a day with my clarisonic!!!!!

Wow
-04.11.13
I don't normally write reviews unless I really love something. This is the best money I've spent of all the things I've bought on sephora. I haven't seen my skin this clear and this soft since Highschool! I've just used this for the first time with the trial size gel cleanser that comes with the purchase, and I already see a huge difference.
My skin doesn't have much problems besides redness and a few breakouts when the time of the month comes. I automatically noticed that my skin tone is evenly toned and my pores are a lot smaller.
My skin is sooo soft. I love my clarisonic aria!!
I was choosing between the clarisonic plus and this one. But when I arrived at the store, I knew aria is the one. The high gloss finish and the charging pulse light made me fall in love with the appearance of this specific clarisonic. Love love love!

Awesome Aria
-04.11.13
It's lightweight and perfectly balanced, not top heavy like the Mia. The timer that tells you it's time to move on to the next area of your face is perfect when you're tired or sleepy. It basically thinks for you. I'm definitely getting a deep poor cleansing and I can't wait to see how radiant my skin will look once its done purging! The drying stand is neat and tidy. I love my Clarisonic.

Fun luxury for face
-04.06.13
Quick Take: easy to use, effective
I like the product - how it vibrates but doesn't spin so it's gentle on my sensitive skin. Works awesome with a moisturizing cream cleanser. The timed beeps telling you to move on to different parts of the face is really handy. You literally scrub your face in 1 minute - quick and easy! Paid $149 for the Aria, so definitely a luxury splurge but I work hard for it!

Why Did I Wait?
-04.02.13
Quick Take: easy to use
Was so hesitant on buying, even with their return policy. After using a few times, my face felt truly cleaner and transformed. Every time that I use it, it feels truly refreshed and renewed on this, ugh, aging skin. I cannot be more pleased with my purchase and again, should have bought it a long time ago.

Great item
-04.01.13
I am happy a bought the Clarisonic Aria. I notice my face is much cleaner than before and can see a difference in my problem areas. I use the Aria to clean my face of make-up and debris from the day, then use my more target problem area facial cleaners, masks and peels afterwards. I notice i can use less product and i am getting better results.

amazing!
-03.16.13
Quick Take: easy to use, see results
I used to have the clarisonic mia and recently decided to upgrade to the aria. It is amazing! (not to say that the mia isn't amazing too). I love that I have 3 speeds and the convenience of the light to show battery life is unreal. It was definitely worth the upgrade and the money, especially with a 2 year warranty.

-03.10.13
Quick Take: easy to use, have great results
I bought it 6 months ago. I was in the store and I was listening how the saleslady was explaining to other customer how great is this brush. She convinced me as well and I bought it. 6 months later I can say that this gadget is fantastic. It is easy to use and my skin is more clean than ever. For me, it is a must-have and it travels with me to anywhere. I have also replaced the brush for a sensitive one, as I have sensitive skin and the starters kit comes with a brush for normal skin. I like to use it with soapy cleaners. I thought about buying this brush or not because it is not an economic gadget but now I know that it worth its price and I am happy to made that decision.

great idea for gently removing dead skin cells that build up on face. Pricey, but fully worth it. I didn't realize how much yucky stuff I had on my face until I started using this item.
