Hi - thanks for your kind words. We have not done an extensive study of exfoliators, but I think that should be next on the list - please watch you email in the coming weeks to see what we learn. I can say that the Clarisonic, while the marketing is geared toward acne, seems to be most effective at simple exfoliation and alleviating mild breakouts rather than dealing with severe acne (of course, remember not to exfoliate more than twice a week or you can actually give yourself some serious chronic skin problems). When it comes to anti-aging, I’m sure you know that prevention is the best option (and the cheapest!). I really like the daily toners like Awake that you can throw in your desk drawer or bag, and the “Hope in a Jar” line is reasonably affordable and lasts a long time. And of course, there is always Olay, but if you don’t have a lot of damage yet then those products can actually make you break out, so if you can get them at a bargain the first time that’s the best way to try them. Recently, I’ve been using part of the Wexler line for eye repair (available at Bath & Body Works or much cheaper on Amazon and I really like it for dealing with new lines - I’ve got some faint ones in my forehead and one forming just above my mouth, and this stuff really seems to slow them down Only apply to the eye area and other wrinkles or lines, however. I put it on my whole face and broke out in areas that were still unlined. Now I combine it with other moisturizers and it seems to be doing the trick. Thanks so much for your comment, and we’ll get right to work on the exfoliation experiment! ~Carrie
