I use the purity cleanser by philosophy. The Mia is great but I notice that my skin is still oily and I have been using my Mia since Christmas.

I've been using mine for a few months now, and I like it.  I have very oily skin and I think it helps control it.  It hasn't made the oil stop, but I have noticed it takes me a few hours longer to get as oily as I do.  It also helped with my nose and I had some spots on my left cheek that weren't going away and those are gone.  If I feel a pimple coming up I'll concentrate my MIA on it for a bit and it goes away the next day.

I also use Murad for face cleanser.  I tried Philosophy, and I love their lotions, but their face wash and moisturizers contain too many oils and I felt it did more harm than good

Lindsay, maybe that's my problem with the oily skin still, the Philosophy. I have Murad, maybe I will try that with my Mia instead.

I used the Mia and Murad and it cleared up 99% of my blemishes in 3 months.  I have combo skin and its much more balanced now.

I use basic Clean and Clear oil-free face wash. My Mia came with the sensitive brush, but I am going to switch to the deep pore cleaner when it's time to replace it.

Do you ladies use the Murad every day with your Mia? When I first got the Murad treatment kit, I used it everyday and it totally dried out my face so I started using it spariingly.

I use Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser (in the blue bottle) with my Clarisonic. Love it!

I use it everyday and don't have any problems.  If you go to Sephora you can ask for samples of a few face washes and that way you can find one that works for your skin.
