    Where did you buy it?
    Does it come with starter cleaners?
    I'm really interested in one of these.
    I use cleansing oil in the evening, would it work with those?

    I've had mine since 2009 or 2010(I actually forget had it that long)!!!

    They usually come with good size try me tubes of Clarisonic's own brand body and face Try Me tubes.

    For the body any shower stuff will work

    Face, you can use it with any brand that has to be removed with water. Personally I love Elemis Sensitive Wash, so use it.

    Oh to clean your heads from time to time. Hot water and some baking soda in a bowl, just drop in and then rinse well with cold water.

    I use the same cleanser I used to, which is a gel cleanser, It works well with my gentle gel cleansers IME.

    I am quite fussy about cleansers and using it with the ones that work well for me was requisite.

    Mrs e, I think it would not be very compatible with oil. I used to oil cleanse and haven't tried with clarisonic. But using twice a day is also too much for my skin, so I would consider oil cleanse once and clarisonic the other time.

    The only other thing I would say is I got the pro particularly over the Mia or whatever, because of the body brush. I actually don't find the body brush that useful, I prefer old fashioned manual body brushing. I would seriously consider whether I needed the pro over other cheaper models if I had the experience of owning one before. If there is significant saving in a more basic model of would consider that seriously.....the full range of speed, for example, is too much for my facial skin, il use the lowest speed setting for best impact (when I get carried away and tryi a faster open my skin suffers)

    It's a great tool. I like it a lot, but over use can be damaging. I am still experimenting with which brush heads are most suitable for me.

    Thank you all for. the replies I got mine on qvc a great deal was a tsv which is a daily deal it was a lot of money I feel £160 ooh and aahed about it but then succumbed. Good offer £165 think but with 2 full size products the gel cleanser & a body scrub, other mini products, think 3 replacement heads total worth £280 if bought it on clarisonic website,so worth it. Also paid on three installments so affordable. They have 30 days money back guarantee just lose posting & packaging

    I don't use the OCM oil, I use proper cleansing oils & they emulsify with water.

    Are you saying the eve lom is the famous cleansing oil balm?

    I always thought that was more a cream, but I've never used it - so expensive!!!!!

    But if that works with it & it's oil based then I guess that type will work.

    Let me know what you think of it, I think QVC is good because you can return it if you hate it.

    I would like to watch the QVC show but I can't find one called clarisonic xxxxx what was the show called?

    Apologies.

    I haven't tried, but I cannot see why it would not work. My concern would be the brush cleaning to avoid build up, I would probably keep a small bowl/container and something to soak it in to clean in the bathroom. I do that with a disinfectant for mine in any case. :)

    Interesting what you say about buying the cheaper model.

    I'm looking at them all but tempted by the classic as it has a charging cradle.

    Is it a shaver/toothbrush type of plug, because I have one of those in my bathroom & my bathroom is fitted with lots of counter top - but I might hate it on show & want to put it away.

    How often does it need charging?

    How does the mia charge on a wire?



    What sort of charging
