I have the Olay ProX cleansing brush and use it every day, seriously, on my sensitive, acne prone skin. Its a great tool and for $25 it beats the pants off the Clarisonic.

I think it is not fair to compare LaMer with a drugstore product.

Guess paula's changed her tune about the Olay brush. She knocked it originally, saying it was too harsh. She failed to mention if she tried the slower speed.
