January 26th marked my 3 months anniversary of using Clarisonic Mia. This is my last review until the 6 months update. My Mia Journey intro post, 2 weeks and 1 month updates viewable as well.
I have lot of great things to say about the Mia so let's get started!
1. Effectiveness at removing makeup - The less residue makeup that remains on my face, the less random zits will pop up.
Mia is so effective at removing residue that any bumps I happen to get from a clogged-pore never gets a chance to turn into zits and become extra irritating. The Mia stands the test of time so I'm going to give it full marks for being a great product that produces consistent results. 10/10!
2. Cleanliness of skin immediately after use.
As good as it was the first time I talked about it. 10/10!
3. Cleaniness of skin maintained with regular use - I have an oily t-zone where zits are most likely to appear. I hope the use of Clarisonic will vastly improve these areas and reduce acne problems.
At the time of writing, which is now two weeks past the 3 months mark, I'm happy to share with you that my skin has not felt or looked this good since last spring.

to right] I can't explain how the lighting of these two photos turned out so differently. They were taken in the same place, under the same kind of lights and with the same camera settings. The photo on the right can be seen much better, but basically this area is a lot less irritated, the redness and the bumps you see are disappearing.
The Mia continues to deliver visible results at three months. My biggest problem area has shown noticeable improvement and I can't express how happy I am about that. I suppose the best way to show it is to bump the rating up from 8.5/10 to 9/10.
5. Noticeably better absorption of facial products - I see the Clarisonic
as an investment for my skin. I am saving money over time if I don't
need as much product for the same results.
Nothing has changed for better or worse in this area so I've kept the rating the same. 8/10
Using the Mia has now become the favorite part of my skin regiment and I refuse to go a day without using it. Mia is advertised as gentle enough to be used twice a day or as little as once a week depending on your skin. I've continued with once a day because it has brought very tangible results and keeps bad build up to a minimum. My only comment on build up is it doesn't clear black heads. It'll help decrease the number of black heads, but black head remover will still get its time to shine.
The next opportunity I get to write about Mia will be in 6 months as a follow-up. I would like to write up a Did You Know Post before that. At this time, I am recommending the little gadget for anyone who wears makeup and needs a better cleasing technique or has occassional or even frequent acne breakouts. Consistent use of Mia will help with many common skin problems.

to right] The first one is from the 1 month mark and the one on the right was taken at 3 months. This area is looking pretty good after faithful use of the Mia everyday for 3 months. I didn't quite notice the difference until putting these two side by side tonight. The photos speak for themselves.

to right] Photo on the left was from the 1 month mark, etc.. The red dry patch has also improved from two months ago. There's less irritation. It also feels less dry. I'm thinking the area better absorbs product which lends to the improvements.
