That’s right. No more anti-aging anything. No more skin-shaming. It’s just so over, don’t you think? We can’t turn back the clock, but we can embrace aging with grace, and a gorgeous face. Pro-aging skincare brands are understanding that we all just want nice skin, no matter what year we were born. Here, 11 face creams that celebrate our birthdays, and our laugh lines (including those elevens!), right along with us. —Catherine Dunwoody
L’Occitane en Provence number one face cream isImmortelle Divine Cream and for good reason. Their secret is a natural origin ingredient that’s an alternative to retinol and is exclusive to this French brand.
Peter Thomas Roth recognizes that many complexions are just plain thirsty, and their solution is Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Rich Barrier Moisturizer. Cushy and comforting on dehydrated skins, this cream is super hydrating.
Chanel’s LE LIFT Oil-in-Cream just launched last month and contains a botanical alfalfa concentrate that’s organically grown in France. Unveil your mature skin’s own rosy glow with this lightweight dream cream in a pump form.
Estée Lauder’s Revitalizing Supreme+ Night Power Bounce Creme redefines the term beauty sleep. The crème starts out rich, then blends nicely, leaving a veil of restorative CollaNight-8 ingredients to work their magic while you snooze.
Big points for all natural Canadian beauty brand Wildcraft for their Restore Face Cream. This rich cream’s fresh geranium and orange flower natural scent in a buttery formulation calms the most flustered complexion, addressing dark spots and dehydration.
Clarins just launched Super Restorative Rose Radiance with pomegranate power and organic harungana extract and fans of this 70 years young French beauty brand are loving it. Hormonal changes like menopause affect our skin, and this cream addresses reduced elasticity, dullness and textural shifts.
Teaology Skincare’s Matcha Tea Ultra-Firming Face Cream contains our favourite green tea we know contains antioxidants, but in a lightweight moisturizer. Green calms red tones for starters, resulting in a more even skin tone, and this texture absorbs easily – nice for skin that is naturally less dry.
Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Overnight Recovery Cream + Mask recognizes that a weaker skin barrier is common as we get older and can be sensitive. Repair at night just makes sense, and this softens wrinkles while plumping and smoothing while we snooze.
L’Oreal Paris Rosy Tone Day Moisturizer with SPF 30 has become a modern cult classic with its imperial peony creating a rosy glow and LHA (which gently exfoliates). With broad spectrum SPF 30, this formula is a good habit to get into if you’re not using a sunscreen in your daily skincare routine. Sun damage is serious, use this now and you’ll thank us later.
Nivea Luminous 630 Dark Spot Solution Even Tone Cream is new from this classic much-loved drugstore beauty brand. Loaded with hyaluronic acid for hydration and to keep moisture locked in, it is committed to addressing dark spots (read sun damage). Use it day or night, nice texture easily absorbed.
Summer Fridays Rich Cushion Cream Moisturizer does exactly what the name suggests. Plumping, protective and great for all skin types. Your complexion will soak it in and appreciate the deep drink.
