I really like mine. It isn't a miracle worker but I use it every other day and my skin is very soft. I never experienced a purge (but know people who said they have), but I use a gentle head and again, don't use it every day. I did break out a little on occasion before using it so I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I got mine from Birchbox, but Sephora has some really nice sets available that I was eying up before I got mine!
Also - I think there is a thread with people listing pros and cons of using a Clarisonic. I can look for it if you can't find it!
