They are already out of stock for cleansers and brush heads. I'm disappointed that I only found out after everything sold out.
Does anyone know of a reliable source that still has cleansers and brush heads in stock? Sephora, Ulta beauty, etc. are out of stock.
I do not want to buy form e-bay and similar platforms since there are a lot of generic/ inauthentic product out there based on the reviews and Youtube videos I've seen.
I never thought that anyone would attempt to make or sell fake brush heads, etc. since these are not high value items and relatively cheap.
 
I was on an auto refill from Amazon and I noticed I didn't get one last month. Darn! I love my clarisonic. Let us know if you try an off brand. I will do the same.

I don't think I want the generic brush heads. I watched YouTube videos comparing the original vs generic. As I understand, the generic brush heads are scratchy (rough on the skin), do not rotate and move like the original and are a waste of money. There are also fakes out there that say Clarisonic and look very similar and are sold as authentic.
Here's one example review:
 
I'd read somewhere it was coming and stocked up at currentbody.com a week or two ago-- I use the sensitive brushes and they seemed to have plenty of stock, not sure what the status is now. Good luck!

Thank you so much. They still have some items. Is this an authorized clarisonic seller? In other words, do they sell authentic clarisonic? Where are they located?
 
@ame there's another vendor that will make replacement heads right?

Yes, they’re an authorised seller. I believe they’re located in the UK but have an American arm- I’ve ordered many things from them over the years and had them delivered both in the UK and at our house in the US. Not sure where their shipping originates, but it’s fast in both places.

BuyMeBeauty.com has some discontinued beauty items for sale. I think there are probably some other websites as well if you google ‘websites for discontinued beauty products’. I have found some things from Prescriptives that I loved that way when that line was discontinued. So frustrating to not be able to find favorites!

Sold out at all Sephora stores (told by my local Sephora store). However, if you find any, please let me know.
 
A few Mia Smart in Blue devices are still available on Clarisonic.com if anyone is interested. Unfortunately, all cleansers and brush heads are gone.
 
Found it @ame! It is Michael Todd Beauty that is making the replacement heads.

From Clarisonic FAQ page:
Will there be a third-party manufacturer who makes the brush heads? Will Clarisonic brushes be available under another name?
Clarisonic brush heads and attachments will not be manufactured by a third-party or available under another name. However, please take advantage of our promotional offers at our authorized retailers on our full product assortment, while supplies last.

This, thansk for posting this. I don't get notifications from this site for some reason anymore.

Actually @PintoBean is right. After the announcement about a month ago, Michael Todd said they would take over manufacturing the heads so that they remained available.
 
Apparently, a few individuals bought boxes of brush heads at the discounted price from Clarisonic website and listed them on Poshmark for much higher than the original full price. In some cases, higher than the price of the device itself. They did not forget to mentions that these are sold out and you will not be able to buy them from anyone but them:roll:.
I would rather switch to other devices (after I run out of replacement heads) than encourage this behavior. I hope they end up keeping their overpriced brush heads;)2
This reminds me of the toilet paper crisis in March and April.

It's a good thing that I use a Foreo Luna!

I will definitely consider Foreo when I run out of replacement brushes. How does it compare in your opinion? If you've used Clarisonic before, what type of Clarisonic brush would be comparable to Foreo?

I've tried the Clarisonic with sensitive brush head and it still felt rough on my skin (& broke me out). I went with the Foreo because of that and I like that I don't have to change out anything, I've had mine for a few years now. I have the regular Foreo Mini and it cleans deeply but doesn't break me out, a lot of new ones came out so I would just buy from Sephora and find the one that is best for your skin (& return the ones that don't work).
 
Well crap. I just put my last radiance head on my Clarisonic last week. Should last me a while. I’ve had it for years and I’m concerned that should I track down a bunch of the replacement heads that would be Mr Murphy’s cue to have my unit finally break (I’ve had it for years and it’s lasted so much longer than most of my friends).
 
I found that out over the summer when one of mine stopped working. I went to every ulta on the central coast buying brush heads and a new Clarisonic machine. The good news is, Loreal owns Clarisonic, so there may be something coming out comparable in the future.
I heard through ulta that they couldn't keep up with the lower priced machines coming out once their patent expired.
The Michael Todd brush is about the closest to the Clarisonic. The Clarisonic brushes will not fit on them though. They have very good reviews and both Ulta and Amazon sell it.
Clarisonic is set to close at the end of this month. Keep checking back though because they have been getting machines all summer, and they say they will honor the warranties on them even after they close down.
 
Per Clarisonic website, warranties will be honored only if the device is registered before September 30, 2020.
I understand your concern about the device breaking and would not buy a lot of brushes. The last two Clarisonic devices I had only lasted 1.5-2 years.

I only need a couple of Clarisonic Radiance brushes. So, if anyone knows where I could buy them, please let me know. If anyone has extra two brand new radiance brushes that they don't need, I would gladly buy them from you =)2

Nothing compares, and frankly I hated the foreo--it's too solid, you can't use it in tight spots or around the eyes and in my experience it didn't do shit to get my face clean.

But Michael Todd is going to make their replacement brushes, they bought the rights like a month ago.

Michael Todd is going to be taking over their replacement brushes, and I am hoping they find a way to make them interchangable with both brand's devices.
