The Clarisonic Smart Profile is Changing the Face Cleansing Game

Posted on August 31, 2015September 1, 2015 by Elaine

There are so many cleansers and treatments out there and I am personally always looking for the latest and greatest products when it comes to skincare, but no matter what new product I introduce to my routine one thing stays constant: I use my Clarisonic cleansing brush everyday.

Just when I thought the Clarisonic had perfected sonic cleaning and couldn’t be improved, they prove me wrong and introduce the Clarisonic Smart Profile which I think will change the face cleansing game.

Clarisonic Smart Profile // Toronto Beauty Reviews

What makes this Clarisonic special?

It’s Smarter

With everything being “smarter” these days when it comes to technology why wouldn’t the beloved Clarisonic get an upgrade too? The new brush heads features a “Radio Frequency Identification” (RFID) Communication Chip which sends information to the device to automatically adjust speed, cleansing time and frequency for different areas of the face. It also tracks minutes of total use so you’ll know when it’s time to switch out your brush head – super important when keeping your skin in tip top shape!

It’s Easier

You can visually see everything you need right on the brush handle which lights up to indicate speed, operating mode and battery-life so there are no surprises! Also, since you only need one device for your entire body

It’s More Powerful

Here’s where it really gets interesting! While the previous versions of the Clarisonic were amazing at cleansing the skin 6x better than manual cleaning, the Clarisonic Smart Profile is proven to clean skin 11x better than hands alone! In fact, clinical studies show that it can remove 30x more skin-damaging pollution than manual cleansing. The new turbo function allows you to temporarily increase the power of the device from any speed to get a targeted cleanse while you’re using it. Using a device with more power, you would think the batteries wouldn’t last as long right? The Clarisonic Smart Profile has an extended battery life which actually provides 36 minutes more of cleansing time!

Clarisonic Smart Profile // Toronto Beauty Reviews

I LOVE the new features of the Clarisonic Smart Profile. My t-zone is where I break out the most and have congestion, while my cheeks for the most part stay clear. So I love that the brush just knows to switch to a more gentle setting while I’m doing the cheek area. Being able to switch the power level during cleansing is great too – the areas around my nose and mouth are very prone to oil build up and breakouts so this has been a great feature to use in my cleansing routine – without adding another step!

So why do I believe in the Clarisonic so much? I notice a huge difference in time my skin takes to heal when it does have breakouts, and products I once thought didn’t work for me now seem to living up to their claims! The Clarisonic system helps my skin to get rid of dirt that may be sitting deep in the layers of my skin, and it also gives me a daily face massage which is important for maintaining that desired glow.

Clarisonic Smart Profile // Toronto Beauty Reviews

Here are few more features of the Clarisonic Smart Profile to note if you’re thinking of picking one up:

  • 4 available speeds plus a turbo boost;
  • 2 modes: smart mode and manual mode;
  • Waterproof (so you can take it with you in shower)
  • LED indicators for speed, mode, battery life and brush replacement;
  • 2-in-1 Dynamic Facial Brush Head;
  • Turbo Massage Body Brush Head;
  • Drying Stand;
  • 2 Cleansers – one for face and one for body.

The Clarisonic Smart Profile will be available online, exclusively at Sephora Canada stores and various stores in the US. It retails for $299 Canadian – which may sound pricey but for a device that I use daily in my skincare routine it’s well worth it!

Are you a Clarisonic fan too? Will you be picking up the Clarisonic Smart Profile device?

    I keep going back and forth on getting one. My skin gets really raw if I exfoliate more than 2-3 times a week so I worry this’ll be a $200 item that hardly ever gets used.

      Look into getting the sensitive or delicate brush heads! The Clarisonic actually doesn’t exfoliate – I know it’s weird to wrap your head around it – it oscillates so the motion of it isn’t irritating!

            I’m so bad at remembering Twitter chats! I’m always like “Yes, gotta go to that!” and then I’ll totally forget even if I’ve put it in my planner. Hopefully I can remember to go to the next one!

How is this type of thing still happening, even in the age of AI? If a high-tech “smart tool” can’t properly recognize and accommodate diverse skin tones, then it needs further development and should not yet be released. End of story. 

Use your purchasing power to support brands that are inclusive in their product development, testing, promotion, AND corporate structure. Every action has impact.

Gotta say, applying one of their trademark frosted, shiny shades now is making 12 year old me *very* happy.

Their Soft Smudge Lip & Cheek stick is incredible. A cream-to-powder formula(!!!!), this baby is buildable, blendable, and beautiful. 

Plus, with just a drop of KJH.Brand Hyper Shine Serum, it transforms into a glossy, rich sheen of luxurious color. 

I’ve used it on my eyes, lips, and cheeks in both glossy and matte textures, and love it each time. It’s genuinely like having 5 products in one. 😍
