Beauty gadgets are a multibillion dollar industry. They can be expensive and make amazing claims, but do they work? That’s the key question about Clarisonic Mia Smart. This sonic-ly vibrating face brush is dubbed an ‘anti-aging’ face brush that can help you “stay younger-looking, longer”. That’s a big promise.
Setting up Clarisonic Mia Smart
Inside the box you get the Mia Smart device; essentially it’s a giant handle. There’s a USB charging stand and the brush head, known as the ‘daily radiance cleansing brush head’.
Plug the device in to get it charged up and while that’s happening download the Clarisonic app.
The app can recommend skin care routines for you based on what you’re hoping for when it comes to your skin.
Other Mia Smart heads
There are several other attachments for your Mia Smart and they are priced individually from about $30 to an eye-watering $80 for attachments like the Sonic Awakening Eye massager. I’ll detial the ones I tried specifically but there’s other brushes too from ultra gentle cashmere to a Firming head too.
Daily radiance cleansing brush head:
This is the basic brush head that’s included in the package. It’s soft and fairly gentle and meant for daily use.
My experience: I like this brush. I find it soft and gentle on my skin and it does a good job of day to day cleansing.
Sensitive Skin Brush head (blue)
Same as above but the bristles are even softer for those with sensitive skin.
My experience:
This brush head is just a bit softer than the other brush; I didn’t feel a huge difference in them.
Sonic Exfoliator
This bright orange silicone rubber brush is designed to scrub and exfoliate without the need for an exfoliating cleanser, says Clarisonic. It’s also supposed to minimize the look of pores & signs of lines.
My experience:
I was looking forward to trying this brush. I found its domed shape a bit pointy, and the bristles took a bit of getting used to. But man, was my skin soft and smooth after using it, particularly if I used a gentle exfoliator too.
Sonic Awakening Eye massager:
This brush makes a lot of claims:
After 1 week - visibly reduce those puffy under eyes with cooling massage
After 8 weeks - less visible crow’s feet fine lines and under eye wrinkles
+10% firmer feeling skin around the eye contour in 8 weeks
Automatically connects to App with Mia Smart
Always gentle, as tested by Ophthalmologists and Dermatologists
My experience:
This was actually a nice feeling. The two round metallic nubs on the brush head are angled so you can get them around your eyes. The cool metal is supposed to reduce puffiness. With this head you get a timer that lets you know when it’s time to switch eyes, and if you feel the vibrations are too intense, you can set it to gentle.
Did I see reduced puffiness or a reduction in fine lines?
Sonic Foundation Makeup Brush
Clipping this long bristled foundation brush into your Mia Smart lets you apply and blend makeup for a flawless look.
My experience:
I’ve been using one of these for years and I find it’s the absolute best way to blend my foundation and any contouring naturally and without smudges, smears or visible brush strokes. You do need to keep it clean, wasing it in warm soap and water or makeup remover about once a week for best results.
Differences between new Mia Smart and older Smart Profile
There’s a few minor differences between the new Mia Smart and older Smart Profile, if you’re thinking about upgrading. The Mia Smart has a longer battery life, and it’s a bit more compact. That’s about it. The brush heads all fit on both devices, which is nice. If your older Smart Profile is still working, I’d say there’s no need to upgrade.
Overall thoughts on Clarisonic Mia Smart
I’m a Clarisonic convert. I love how the brush cleans and exfoliates my face. I feel like a new woman every time I use it. I’ve been enjoying the new brush heads and feel like they work well. I also love the makeup brush for appying my makeup every morning.
Downsides? That Clarisonic effect is very real for some users, but it does go away for most users. I have noticed on my old Smart profile that the battery no longer holds a good charge for as long, but that’s normal for most rechargeable batteries. I also miss the old shower stand that came with my Smart profile; it was a nice place to keep it handy. The Mia Smart wither needs to Stan in a drawer or plugged in, and I’m all out of outlets in the bathroom.
I can definitely recommend the new Clarisonic Mia Smart face brush for cleansing, exfoliating, and makeup. The other attachment s are also nice to use although the jury is still out on the anti-aging and wrinkle reducing properties.

Thanks so much! I got this brush and did not know how to use it. Your review taught me so much! Thanks again!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this video, I recently purchased this and was so confused about its features. Greatly appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
I appreciate this review!
Hi Erin! Thank you for the great review. It's very honest and through... I appreciate it very much if you could give tutorial on bluetooth feature. Thanks.
Thanks Sema! I’ll see what I can come up with.
Good Review. I feel like Im watching the news tho. 😅
:D
I enjoy the no-nonsense approach, a welcome relief
I am researching the Mia Smart as my original Clarisonic Plus has just given up. I bought it in NY many many years ago so am now deciding which to buy, thing the Mia Smart. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for sharing!
Can you use any usb plug in with the usb charging cord?
Can you show how to attach the heads too please!
Just ordered mine! Can’t wait to use it
They are 50% off this week too 😊😊😊
Beth Bradley Unfortunately, they are going out of business on 9/30/2020. They are saying that they will honor warranties until 2022.
Thanks for the video. I got a Mia Smart for Christmas and I am liking it so far. I have a question that I can't find an answer to. On the app it shows a cleaning streak. I have been using the device for over a week but it doesn't show that on the app. Any ideas.
Hmmm. Maybe it’s not connecting properly. Are you opening the app each day when you use the device and connecting it?
Is that brush head on the harder side the one it came with?
Thank you for the review,i just had the same one 2weeks ago,it does good job to clean my skin,i like so far but i had hard time to use smart mode..i have only one brush that came from the package,in this case,am i not able to use smart mode ????
Hi, so in order to use the smart function you will need to connect the Mia Smart to your phone through bluetooth. You can download the clarisonic app on the app store. After doing that, make an account, then customize your routine and sync to your device. From there turn on your clarisonic and press the power button until you see the smart function is illuminated.
How does it charge ??
Hi Erin, I am an old, retired baby boomer and I am going to stay w/ my made in the UK Bull Dog Brand/Skincare for Men/Original Face Wash and Age Defense Moisturizer.😉 (Looks as if a very gentle touch is required w/ the Clarisonic to avoid doing more harm than good to your face.)
Now this is a Review!
Hello. Cld u tell me please if the brush head that comes with it, if u r supposed 2 pull the tab out of the inner circle. TYIA. Kathie
As far as I know the brush heads are all one piece.
I have this exact question
What does the bottom button that says smart do ?
Good question. It adjusts the vibrations and timing to adapt to the various brush heads.
This is awesome!
What do you think… Will you get one?
I owned a clarisonic plus years ago; it was one of their largest gadgets. I've been using a mia I for a few years now, and since they are going out of business, I was able to purchase a mia smart for a sum total of $67.65 US (tax included in price)
Is the brush suppose to spin in circles or just vibrates?
It kind of just vibrates. No spinning.
Do i need to buy clarisonic smart or the clarisonic mia prima is enough?
I think the prima would be enough
@@ErinLawrenceTV thank you 😊 mia prima it is
Is there a cheaper option? I found a cheap brush but man, those attachments are expensive!
You an find budget attachments on Amazon. I did try some, but the brush fibres were falling out like crazy so I returned them.
DAMN!!! it make you feel like a NEW WOMAN every time you use it?!? SOLD!!! Thanks for such a great review!!
ha! Let us know what you think if you get one!
😍

According to Dr. Rob, the inventor, you have made a few mistakes: 1.) Apply more cleanser to the brush head than you pictured; 2.) Do not apply an additional mechanical exfoliator on top of the exfoliating brush head, aside from a chemical exfoliator, such as the Clarisonic Skin Peel Renewing Peel Treatment, since the exfoliating brush is already exfoliating the skin. Adding a mechanical exfoliator on top of the brush head can strip the skin, causing unnecessary irritation, without marked benefit; 3.) Cleanse the brush head after EACH USE, preferably with an anti-bacterial shampoo - yes, including the makeup brush head - according to the inventor; 4.) Use the brush for 1 minute for your face, and an additional minute for your neck, and chest. So, with that use, the charge will last less than 2 months. Finally, it would've been nice if you would've specified what type of make up you apply with the make up brush head - liquid, cream, semi-solid, powder, etc.
Clairsonic is going out of business 😭
WrightFashions Bought 2 of each attachments.. Probably go back and buy 4 more before sells out
