These Anti-Aging Creams Give You the Plump, Radiant Skin You’ve Been Dreaming Of
As we get older, signs of aging become inevitable. The natural decline of collagen and elastin production cause the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Dull skin and dark spots are also common signs of getting older. One of the best lines of defense for reducing the look of these skincare concerns is adding an anti-aging cream into your daily routine. Experts say the best formulations contain ingredients like retinol, peptides, and antioxidants. There are so many options available that range from drugstore to luxury prices. Ahead, shop the best anti-aging creams, according to dermatologists.

If you're looking for a drugstore staple with the efficacy promised by expensive beauty products, look no further. "It contains both hyaluronic acid and glycerin, which draw moisture into the top skin layers," says Tsippora Shainhouse, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Los Angeles. It also has vitamin B3 to soothe irritation and diminish redness, dimethicone to lock in moisture, and peptide fragments to promote collagen production.

When in doubt, choose a product that contains retinol. "Retinol is perhaps the best-studied ingredient we have to treat aging skin," says Joshua Zeichner, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City. "It helps stimulate collagen production to strengthen the skin's foundation and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles."
