About the product
Clinique brings you a dermatologist-developed Sonic Cleansing Brush in addition to its beloved 3-Step skincare routine in one convenient set. The products work together to purify pores and create a healthy glow, enabling moisture to sink in so your skin glows with beauty and radiance.
Alpha Fit by Clarisonic is designed specifically to clean men’s thicker, oilier skin. Our patented sonic cleansing technology oscillates at a frequency that produces over 300 movements per second. The flexing action works to loosen dirt and oil, removing impurities from pores and prepping skin for a closer, smoother shave.

What customers say about "Key Specs"
Clinique Sonic Cleansing Bruch Set Type I/II Cleanse, Purify, Glow.
  • My skin feels remarkably clean and soft after using the brush.
  • The green brushes are to be used in the zone where blackheads live (the T zone) while the white part of the brush is softer and is used on the rest of the face and neck. My face looks so much more radiant since I've been using this.
  • This brush is strong enough to get out all the dirt and make up but gentle enough for my cheeks.
  • Very soft. Face is soft after use.
  • The brush is very gentle. I keep it in my shower and use it daily.
Clarisonic Alpha FIT Men's Sonic Facial Cleansing Brush System
  • This cleansing brush is the best skin care product I have ever purchased. My face is left feeling clean and fresh after each morning and evening use.
  • Ease of use: Simply rinse the brush, add a cleanser, and push the power button. Using this product adds 1-2 minutes to your daily routine, but worth every second.
  • The vibration of the brush did not seem strong enough to do anything, let alone dislodge dirt from pores or any of the other claims.
  • It oscillates very slightly and even with the rougher brushes I never felt like I was getting any cleaner than with just a loofah and soap.
  • My one concern is the area under the brush head tends to hold water. I had to shake the unit upside down to ensure the water is not held in the unit.

What customers say about "Details"
Clinique Sonic Cleansing Bruch Set Type I/II Cleanse, Purify, Glow.
  • It automatically shuts off.
  • The battery lasts a lot and it's Waterproof!
  • Only stays on for 30 seconds, Clarisonic stays on for 2 min. and has a section tone that tells you after 30 seconds to move to another area.
  • It has a bleeping light when not fully charged, and a solid green light when fully charged.
  • I love it but for some reason when I'm using it on my face it turns off at random. But my face ends up pretty smooth after I just don't like how I have to keep turning it on. I thought it was because it wasn't charged out I plugged it in and still does it
Clarisonic Alpha FIT Men's Sonic Facial Cleansing Brush System
  • The waterproof design allows it to be used in the shower.
  • The variable speed motor is good, especially since I keep scruff.
  • I only use the higher speed setting and it leaves my skin clean and refreshed.
  • This resets the 20 sec timer also.
  • The thing that gets a bit annoying is that when I use it, my finger always seems to hit the variable button and turns it from low level to high.

What customers say about "Power"
Clinique Sonic Cleansing Bruch Set Type I/II Cleanse, Purify, Glow.
  • It charges in the charger without the need of aa batteries.
  • The battery life is amazing, I charge it once a week at the most and it lasts for a very long time and never loses power!
  • Also, the battery lasts forever. When I first bought the brush, a week later I had left for a 6 week internship but I forgot the charger. I used the brush twice a day (a minute in the morning and a minute at night) and the battery lasted the entire 6 weeks without a single charge!
  • I have had this brush for less than 6 months and it will no longer hold a charge!
  • I started having problems with it keeping a charge after about 8 months of use. I suspected it was due to the fact that it would turn itself on. Now it won't turn on a all even after its been on the charger for 24 hours and the light turns green.
Clarisonic Alpha FIT Men's Sonic Facial Cleansing Brush System
  • I am hoping the battery will recharge well over a long time.
  • I have been using this for the last eight months and the battery lasts for about 5-7 days.
  • The battery doesnt last to long.
  • Battery stopped charging after a few months. Not impressed.
  • Worked perfect for about a year but the battery obviously goes out and can only hold for 10 mins.
