Following 10 years in the skincare industry, electronic facial brush brand, Clarisonic, is shutting up shop.

According to a statement on its website: “After more than a decade of game-changing innovation and industry-leading technology, the Clarisonic brand will be shutting down as of 30 September 2020.”

As a result, it has launched a huge closing down sale, with up to 50 per cent of all its products.

We’ve picked the best bits of the sale to shop, with big savings to take advantage of.

Before you add everything to your basket, if you have acne, rosacea, eczema or very sensitive skin, some people can find that an electronic facial brush can be problematic and cause irritation, while it's advised not to use them on broken skin.

It does also depend on your skin, so what works for one, may not work for all.

But if you already own one and love, or know someone that wants it, now’s the best time to get one, before they're gone.

You can trust our independent round-ups. We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections. This revenue helps us to fund journalism across The Independent.
