15 Anti-Aging Creams That'll Take Years of Your Hands

Your anti-aging routine probably already includes a go-to face moisturizer, a rich eye cream, and maybe even a supercharged serum. But you're missing a key player: an effective hand cream.

After all, our hands have thin, elastic skin, so they tend to show signs of aging faster than other areas of the body—including the face. Not to mention, they take a beating on a daily basis from simple activities, like doing the dishes and washing them diligently, as well as constant exposure to the elements (think: dry air, cold temperatures, harmful UV rays).

Luckily, though, there's an abundance of skin-softening, ultra-hydrating hand creams and treatments that can help make your hands look younger—whether you're dealing with dark spots (look for a formula with glycolic acid, vitamin C, or niacinamide), wrinkles (one word: retinol), or dryness (check the ingredients label for ceramides, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid). Even better? Almost all of the best anti-aging hand creams are all available over the counter.

Ahead, we've compiled a list of the the best hand creams on the market, including a budget-friendly drugstore treatment, an Amazon bestseller, and a luxury cream worth the splurge—all of which you're going to want to give, well, a hand.
