My mom is being a crazy phsycopath and not letting me buy something with my own money. I have read every single review for the clarisonic face brush and every single one i saw was good. Everyone loves it. Yes, it is expensive but I will pay for it with my own money but she said she's going to make an appointment with my dermatologist and the meds they give me will clear up my face but eventually my meds will run out and my then what? If I have a clarisonic it wont' run out because each head can go to a maximum of 6 months. What should I do? Is my mom right?

My mom told me I had to wait a few weeks, maybe even months for the insurance to cover it. I was crying hysterically because I just wanted my face to be clear, but we really couldn't afford it. At least your mom is able to buy you medicine to clear your acne. Don't rock the boat.

I think it's wonderful that she is taking you to a doctor, and not encouraging you to buy a product that probably doesn't work, or at least, doesn't work as well as is claimed.
She is right. There is no clinical support for the Clarisonic, and reviews online are sooooo easily faked and the 'studies' they cite are all ones that Clarisonic paid for and put up on thier own site...
It's probably a scam product, or at least seriously exagerated. Some people might feel that it worked for them, but it's very unlikely that there is any actual, scientific evidence that it works, or at least, that it works better than many other things that are a quater of the price.
So, go to your dermatologist and ask them about clarisonic and take your medication! Your mom is awesome for taking you seriously enough not to just let you throw money at some fad, but willing to invest in real medical treatment for you.
Give her a hug. Do you know how many parents wouldn't want to spend money on a dermatologist and perscriptions? Even if you disagree with her, you are lucky to have her in your corner. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
