A short YouTube video by Shereene Idriss advising viewers not to buy Clarisonic-style facial cleansing brushes (criticizing hygiene, bacterial infection risk, and ineffectiveness) and instead recommending a "deep puffer" face roller that includes a serum to actively depuff. The speaker also characterizes brushes as a waste of about $40 and says clinicians have seen infections from unwashed brush heads.

What are you looking at? This is what I'm looking at. For 40 bucks, please don't waste your money. There was a company called Clarisonic that went out of business a few years ago that basically just did this. You won't need this. This is, like, one of the worst things you could do for your face. And more often than not, people never wash the heads. And so they're constantly reintroducing bacteria and crud into their face. And I've seen this in patients, especially those who've had infections and infections spreading on their skin. So don't use Clarisonic brushes. You don't need this. You don't need this. And if you're going to use a face roller, use the deep puffer. It has a serum that actively depuffs after you're done rolling.
