[Product question] Been living under a rock and just realized Clarisonic closed down... what do I do now?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I finally caved and spent $120 on a Mia Smart exactly a year ago. I don’t know about anyone else’s experience but it was a life-changer for me. I was finally able to remove all the makeup that was clogging my pores and finally get my acne under control. I only go to Sephora about twice a year so I bought a years worth of replacement heads when I bought it.Fast forward to this afternoon, when I discovered that Clarisonic actually closed down months ago, and all the replacement heads sold out back in July.Right now I’m only aware of three options...Continue to use my Mia, buy some knock-off replacement heads on Amazon for $25 and keep my fingers crossed that they workContinue to use my Mia, spend another $120 on a year’s worth of legit Clarisonic replacement heads that are being sold online by those who stocked up.Ditch the Mia. Take advantage of Foreo’s $40 off offer for those switching from Clarisonic. And spend $120 to switch to the Foreo. (Praying that they don’t shut down either)I would have attempted to make this a poll but I really want some rationale from more experienced skin care addicts as to what would be the best path forward.More about my skin: I’ve got a lot of acne scars, and hyperpigment at the drop of a hat. So I use a lot of makeup to cover that up. When you see me emerge from my front door, you would never realize just about scarring and hyperpigmentation I was able to cover. This wasn’t helping my skin, because now it was harder to remove all that stuff. The Clarisonic helped a ton, and I felt that all the good moisturizers and serums I was using, was now getting into my skin instead of just lying on top of it.When COVID lockdowns started and everything went virtual, I started wearing makeup way less. Instead of 5-6 days a week, I was wearing it only once per week. And my skin has improved so much! I actually decreased my Clarisonic use, and only use that to cleanse after taking off makeup. But now that my Clarisonic brush heads are too dull to use anymore, I feel that my face isn’t getting as clean anymore on days I wear makeup. And now my breakouts are coming back. I know those breakouts are related to my wearing makeup more often on Zoom calls, and not cleaning it all off as well as before. But I’ve already tried different makeup removers and fancy cloths and haven’t used anything that was as good as the Clarisonic.Where are all you former Clarisonic users and have you all gone Foreo or found some other alternative?
