Dear
CLARISONIC
™
Owner –
Thank you for purchasing the
CLARISONIC
Skin
Care Brush. We at Pacific Bioscience Laboratories
are excited to share our product with you and
hope that you enjoy using it.
We’ve designed
CLARISONIC
to work with the
natural elasticity of the skin, gently flexing the skin
to help open the pores and loosen dirt and oil.
The back and forth sonic oscillating motion of
the inner brush effectively cleans, clarifies, and
stimulates the skin to give you the most effective
and most gentle cleansing possible. We think it’s
the best minute you can give your skin every day.
We’d love to hear how
CLARISONIC
works for
you. E-mail me at
CEO
@clarisonic.com, or call us
at
1-888-5-CLARISONIC (1-888-525-2747).
Sincerely,
David Giuliani
CEO, Chairman
Pacific Bioscience Laboratories, Inc.

your clarisonic
Congratulations! You are about to experience the new
wave of skin care with the
CLARISONIC™
Skin Care
Brush. Before you start, please take the time to get to
know your
CLARISONIC
and how it works.
The
CLARISONIC
sonic technology works synergistically
with the natural elasticity of the skin to provide gentle
daily cleansing as part of a total skin care routine.
A deep-cleansing zone 1is created between the outer
(stationary) brush and the inner (oscillating) brush 2.
Oscillating back and forth at a sonic frequency that
produces about 300 movements per second, a
flexing action is created between the outer and inner
brushes that works deep within the pores to loosen
dirt and oil. The brush motion effectively cleans, clarifies
and stimulates, resulting in smoother feeling and
looking skin.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS
AND WARNINGS
The
CLARISONIC
is designed for use with most skin
types. Your skin is constantly changing, and due to the
dynamic nature of your skin you may want to use different
power levels and/or different brush heads (Normal vs.
Sensitive). Please visit our website www.clarisonic.com
for more information.
Do not
use this product if you:
have heightened skin allergies
have an extreme sunburn
have open wounds or open lesions
have recently had a chemical peel or
microdermabrasion*
are currently taking medication that can cause
skin sensitivity*

*Unless recommended by a skin care professional
We recommend that you use the
CLARISONIC
Daily
Cleanser that has been optimized for gentle daily use with
the
CLARISONIC
Skin Care Brush. If you decide to use
another cleanser, test it with the
CLARISONIC
Skin Care
Brush on your forearm prior to using it on your face. Some
cleansers with acids may irritate your skin when used with
the
CLARISONIC
Skin Care Brush.**
The
CLARISONIC
Daily Cleanser is to be used on the
skin.
Do not
use on the eyes or the interior of the mouth.
If contact with the eyes occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
Do not
use the
CLARISONIC
Skin Care Brush with
mechanical exfoliants such as microbeads and shells.**
**Consult your skin care professional.
Using the
CLARISONIC
to remove makeup will stain
the bristles, but will not affect performance.
Never
use the
CLARISONIC
to remove eye makeup. If discoloration
occurs, clean the brush head with soap and water.

using your clarisonic
Prior to the first use, we recommend that you charge the
CLARISONIC
brush handle overnight. For best results,
charge your
CLARISONIC
for 24 hours before using it
for the first time by plugging the charger cradle into an
electrical outlet and placing the
CLARISONIC
in the
charger cradle. Once your
CLARISONIC
is fully charged,
it’s time to begin your
CLARISONIC
experience. For your
convenience, your
CLARISONIC
handle is waterproof
and may be used in the shower or bathtub. Refer to
Important Safeguards
regarding the charger cradle.
The
CLARISONIC
is packaged with the Sensitive brush
head (white plastic base) installed. The Normal brush
head (gray plastic base) is also included. Please select
the appropriate brush head to match your skin type and
sensitivity. Remove all makeup and wet your skin with
warm water prior to use. Liberally apply cleanser to your
skin and wet the brush head with warm water. Then
gently apply the brush to your skin, push the power
button to turn your
CLARISONIC
on and gently move
the brush using a small circular motion. Pressing too
hard will slow the motion of the brush and reduce the
effectiveness.
CLARISONIC
also effectively clarifies the
neck, back, décolleté (upper chest), shoulders, arms,
and the back of the hands. It is recommended that you
do not share a brush head with another individual.
Power Level
The
CLARISONIC
Skin Care Brush offers a choice of
2 power levels for your cleansing needs and comfort:
normal and low power. The
CLARISONIC
provides both
audible and visible indication of the power level. When
the
CLARISONIC
is turned on at the normal power level,
there are 3 ascending beeps and the yellow light is
illuminated. At the low power level, 3 descending beeps
are heard and the yellow light is turned off.
Power level Audible indication Visible indication
Normal 3 ascending beeps yellow light on
Low 3 descending beeps yellow light off
To toggle between the settings, hold the power button
down for 3 seconds continuously when turning on the
CLARISONIC
. The
CLARISONIC
will remember the
previous power setting and will indicate it audibly and
visibly as power is turned on.
7
Cleansing Timer
For even and thorough cleansing of your face, the
CLARISONIC
features a proprietary one-minute T-timer™
that beeps and pauses momentarily to indicate it is time
to move to another part of your face. We recommend
that you spend the first 20 seconds of brush time on
your forehead, 20 seconds on your nose/mouth region,
and 10 seconds on each cheek. The
CLARISONIC
will
shut off automatically after one minute. If you wish to
pause the cleaning cycle for up to 30 seconds, simply
press the power button. The yellow light will flash
(indicating sleep mode) and the
CLARISONIC
will
remember the time remaining on the T-timer. Press the
power button to resume cleaning. When finished, rinse
your skin with warm water and rinse the brush head of
the
CLARISONIC
with warm water.
To change the cleansing cycle time, turn your
CLARISONIC
on and hold the power button for more
than 10 seconds. At around 3 seconds, you will hear
three tones (related to the Power Level) and then you will
hear beep tones relating to the optional cleansing times
and interval beeps. The cleansing time selections are
indicated by three different audible sequences:
Audible indication Cleansing cycle time Interval beeps
1 long beep & 2 minutes at 40, 80, and 100
2 short beeps seconds
1 long beep only 2 minutes none
1 long beep & 1 minute (this is factory at 20, 40, and 50
1 short beep selected default) seconds
Please note that you have now changed your power
setting as well as the cycle time. You may now reselect
your desired power level.
Cleanse your face
using our T-Timer™
recommended
times and zones as
shown above.

Charging
A charger cradle designed to hold and charge the
brush handle is included. Simply place the
CLARISONIC
into the charger cradle with the brush facing the raised
wave of the charger. The green light will flash while the
CLARISONIC
is charging and will shine a constant
green when it is fully charged. It cannot be over-charged.
You can leave the
CLARISONIC
in the charger cradle,
or if you prefer, you can leave it out of the charger cradle
(for example, by the sink, tub or shower) as long as you
charge it after every 30 one-minute brushing cycles.
We recommend that you leave your
CLARISONIC
in its
charger cradle when not in use.
As an indication that the battery is low, the
CLARISONIC
will alert you that it needs to return to the charger by
beeping 5 times while the yellow and green lights flash
5 times. For your convenience, the
CLARISONIC
only
needs to be charged overnight after every 30 one-minute
brushing cycles and can be kept out of the charger
(for example, by the sink, tub or shower) until it needs
charging. If it is used for 30 or more one-minute cycles
without being charged, the brush handle will beep
immediately following the one-minute brushing cycle, to
alert you to place it in the cradle for charging.

caring for your
clarisonic
To clean your
CLARISONIC
, we recommend that,
once a week, you wash the brush head and the handle
separately using warm soapy water to remove any
buildup of debris that may have accumulated.
Do not attempt to open the brush handle to clean the
interior. To dry the bristles after use, rub the brush head
against a towel for
5-10
seconds while the
CLARISONIC
is powered on. Do not use abrasive cleaners or
chemicals to clean any part of the
CLARISONIC
. Do not
put any part of the
CLARISONIC
in a dishwasher.
To clean the charger cradle, wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not immerse the charger cradle in water.
Replacement Brush Heads
We recommend that the
CLARISONIC
brush heads be
replaced every 90 days as the bristles become fatigued
and less effective over time. They can be purchased from
your physician or medi-spa or at www.clarisonic.com.
To remove the brush head, 1simply grip the brush
head firmly, then push and twist it counter-clockwise.
Then 2pull the head away from the handle.
To mount the brush head, 3align the 3 notches
with the 3 pins, then 4push down and twist the head
clockwise until it 5snaps into place.
There are 2 types of brush heads offered to enhance
the comfort of your
CLARISONIC
experience. The brush
heads are offered in either Normal (gray plastic base) or
Sensitive (white plastic base) to match your skin type
and sensitivity. Both are included in the system kit and
are compatible with the
CLARISONIC
brush handle.
The brush heads can be purchased separately for
replacement use.

troubleshooting
My
CLARISONIC
won’t turn on.
In order for the
CLARISONIC
to turn on, the battery
needs to be sufficiently charged. The warning beeps
and lights indicate that the device needs to be placed
in the charger overnight. Check to be sure that your
charger cradle is not plugged into an outlet that is linked
to a wall switch. If the problem persists, contact the
customer care department at
1-888-5-CLARISONIC
or
1-888-525-2747
.
The bristles feel too harsh on my skin.
Always use the
CLARISONIC
on wet skin. The
CLARISONIC
offers a choice of 2 power levels for
your cleansing needs and comfort. Try the lower power
level by holding the power button for 3 seconds when
turning it on. At the lower power level, 3 descending
beeps are heard and the yellow light is turned off.
Also, try using the sensitive brush head, as it is softer
on the skin and is designed for maximum comfort.
You can also improve your comfort by increasing the
amount of
CLARISONIC
Daily Cleanser or other
cleanser that you use.
My brush head appears stained.
With daily maintenance and washing, the brush head
should not stain. Using
CLARISONIC
to remove
makeup will cause discoloration, which will not
adversely affect performance. Never use
CLARISONIC
to remove eye makeup.
The inner brush head is not moving, but sound is
coming from the handle.
Remove the brush head and twist it back into place,
assuring that the brush head is properly seated using its
3 attachment pins. This should reactivate the motion of
the inner bristles. If the problem persists, contact the
customer care department at
1-888-5-CLARISONIC
or
1-888-525-2747
.
