this vs clarisonic uplift [SEP] i have not been using this item long enough to report on any discernible difference in my face but i can speak to a couple of other interesting tidbitsi know that these have been in use for generations and they must work because people swear by them if that were not proof enough i use my clarisonic uplift daily and it comes with an attachment that does the exact same thing that this roller does only with using technology the instructions on this roller is to use it for minutes a day times a day that is a lot and i do not know of many people who care to carve out time to do this but if you are sitting quietly watching tv or even reading you can do it absentmindedly with the clarisonic you are supposed to use it with a moisturizer or a serum but with this you use it on a dry face with or without a lotion the massaging affect is exactly the samethe jade roller feels cool across the skin even if mine does squeak a little and it feels wonderful i am not sure it does anything if you are rolling it on your chest but it feels amazing if done with a bit of pressure it comes in a nice little asian inspired embroidered bag so it does not look bad if you want to leave it on your bedside for easy access i am going to continue to use the uplift each night but this item does not require a battery and i can whip it out anytime
