We at Pacific Bioscience Laboratories are excited to share our product with you and hope that you enjoy using it.

We think its the best minute you can give your skin every day. Wed 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).

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 1 is 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. 2 1 page 3 A H 3 page 4 0152PBLuserguide.final6 3/17/05 6:53 PM Page 4 IMPORTANT CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS The CLARISONIC is designed for use with most skin types.

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, its 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, dcollet (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.

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

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:

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. to remove push down tw is t d n a
