Anti-aging is all the rage and has been for the last several years. There are certain products that contain specific anti-aging ingredients that are actually effective. From oils and extracts to special formulations, these are the latest anti-aging “miracle” ingredients to keep you skin youthful and wrinkle-free. —Jennifer Cox
Vitamin C: This vitamin can be used topically in dermatology to treat and prevent a variety of changes associated with aging. It can also be used to treat hyperpigmentation. Our pick: Phlorertin CF with Ferulic Acid is a Vitamin C serum for your face from Skinceuticals ($208). It helps to diminish the appearance of fine lines and the look of uneven skin tones. It also works for all skin types.
Retinol: Retinol is skin’s BFF: it not only increases skin cell production and helps unclog pores, but it also exfoliates your skin and increases collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a fresher, plump appearance. Our pick: Kiehl’s Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum with Ceramides and Peptide ($82). This potent Retinol serum is a daily-strength micro-dose that visibly reduces wrinkles, evens skin tone, firms skin, and minimizes the look of pores.
Hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid helps reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles by retaining moisture in the skin. When the skin is protected and hydrated, increased skin cell production can take place, leading to smoother, plumper skin cells. Our pick: Mineral 89 Booster from Vichy ($56). Enriched with pure hydraulic acid, it helps strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier and make it more resistant to daily aggressors. Replenished with moisture, the skin is hydrated, looks toned and plumped, day after day with a healthy glow.
Peptides: Peptides are amino acids that are the essential building blocks of certain proteins that are needed by the skin, like collagen and elastin. Our pick: Paula’s Choice Pro-Collagen Multi-Peptide Booster ($58). It helps to rebuild, strengthen, and firm up skin at a deeper level. It contains six pro-collagen peptides that deliver multi-layer support for immediate and long lasting results.
