Part Two: I eat my own words. Sorry Clarisonic!

Remember my post about the Clarisonic Mia 2? If you don't, here's the run-down:

I bought a Clarisonic, I felt like it didn't really have any effect on my skin, and I thrashed it out in my review.

Well. I was kind of wrong.

I got my Clarisonic a couple months before I wrote the review, and it's true, I really didn't notice anything different about my skin. But ever since I bought it and started using it about 2-3 times a week, I started receiving compliments on my skin.

I brushed them off and credited it to my Eve Lom cleanser. But then I started thinking... I've been using the Eve Lom for years now, so why the compliments now? What have I been doing differently to my skin since the beginning of summer?

And then it hit me: the Clarisonic.

I guess it's a case of "loser-turned-cool-guy": you know, when a socially-awkward guy in high school blossoms in university and turns into this egotistical dismissive jerk? Is this a thing? I hope you know what I mean, and that I didn't make this phrase up.

So yes; my pores were less noticeable, my complexion evened out, and I totally forgot what my skin was like before the Clarisonic. To be fair, I think the transition was "okay" to "good". Its like one of those products that are not must-haves and don't make drastic changes to your look, but there's a subtle change, making people wonder what you did differently.

I stick to my main idea. The Clarisonic was not a miracle product for me. And I don't think you should buy it thinking that it'll "turn around" your skin and airbrush everything out, unless you have a fabulous return policy with the product. It improved my skin for sure, but I'm still not sure it was worth its price.
