It is time to get serious.  I know that you love the products that we carry, and I know that you use your product regimen faithfully.  What sort of friends would we be at S.K.i.N. if we did not divulge a great way to improve the efficacy of the products that you get from us? 

The Clarisonic Pro is made by the makers of the Sonicare Toothbrush (and who doesn’t love that?!).  It is a handheld, waterproof brush that osculates back and forth in a way that opens the pores to remove dirt, oil, makeup and sebum.  The Clarisonic Pro uses sonic technology to make skin healthier, smoother, more radiant and more beautiful.  You think this is an easy claim to make?  Take this in for consideration:

• The micro-vibrations of the Skin Cleansing System gently loosen and remove more makeup than manual cleansing….6x more to be exact.
• The Clarisonic Pro removes 2x more dirt and oil than manual cleansing
• The Clarisonic Pro is gentle enough to use twice a day
• It help reduce oily areas, dry skin patches and blemishes
• It helps minimize the appearance of large pores
• The Clarisonic increases the absorption of Vitamin C by 61%

The Clarisonic even comes with a body brush option.  Use the body brush after shaving to reduce those annoying bumps!  This is also a great method to fight Keratosis Pilaris on the arms!

The sister product to the Clarisonic Pro is the Clarisonic Opal.  The Opal is a palm-sized sonic infusion device specifically designed to work serum deep into the skin where it matters most.  At 7,500 micro-massages a minute, the opal infuses our specially formulated Anti-Aging Sea Serum into the delicate skin around the eye.  After just 30 seconds around each eye, skin immediately feels firmer and more hydrated with a noticeable improvement in elasticity in as little as 4 weeks.  Fine lines, puffiness and dark circles are also visibly reduced.    

The Clarisonic comes with:

• A 60 day money back guarantee (don’t worry, their return rate is less than 1%)
• A 3 year product warranty on the Clarisonic Pro Skin Cleansing System
• A 2 year product warranty on the Opal Infusion System
• Results that you will feel and see immediately

We can’t wait to hear all your success stories!  Happy Cleansing!
