Hi there Connie, We forwarded your question to Dr. Laurie Bernard and here's what she had to say ...
"Truth be told, a mild cleanser and a daily moisturizer containing sunscreen ARE the 2 most important products for your skin. As we age, though, it's worth considering an additional product that can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is best accomplished with a night cream containing Retinol, which is a form of Vitamin A. Retinol-based products help improve your complexion and prevent future fine lines and wrinkles. This would be used in place of an "exfoliator", as this is essentially what the Retinol is accomplishing. Microdermabrasion is a treatment that acts similarly on the skin, but multiple,usually expensive, treatments are required to maintain the benefits to your complexion."
