Wrinkles appear due to skin stress, such as dehydration or damage from the sun. Several over-the-counter skin creams and sunscreens can help to repair and prevent wrinkles. If you have sensitive skin, choose a product specifically formulated for such skin to avoid irritating your skin, which may result in unsightly redness, inflammation and worse wrinkles.

Olay Regenerist Perfecting Cream

Olay's perfecting cream contains pentapeptides, which are great for smoothing away wrinkles, according to dermatologist Mark Rubin for InStyle magazine. The magazine rates the cream as the best anti-wrinkle product for sensitive skin, saying it was efficient and lightweight, perfect for wearing daily without irritating your skin.

Boots Expert Sensitive Restoring Night Treatment

Cosmetics expert Paula Begoun rated Boots' sensitive-skin restoring night cream as the best drugstore moisturizer. It contains soothing, fragrance-free restoring ingredients like aloe vera to plump up your skin's surface and smooth away dryness that may exacerbate the appearance of fine wrinkles and poor skin tone.

Blue Lizard Australian Suncream for Sensitive Skin SPF 30

The sun's damaging ultraviolet rays contribute to the formation of wrinkles, discoloration and other signs of aging skin, but many sunscreen creams contain irritating substances that may bother your sensitive skin. Allure magazine called Blue Lizard's Sunscream product the best sunscreen for sensitive skin. The reviewers noted that its antioxidants and high sun protection factor help to maintain your skin in a "constant repair mode" to keep new wrinkles and blemishes from forming.

Lancôme Absolue Night Recovery Treatment

InStyle magazine called Lancôme's Absolue Night Recovery Treatment the best heavy-duty moisturizer for sensitive skin. The magazine liked it because it contains proprietary age-fighting ingredients such as Pro-Xylane, plus skin-plumping ingredients such as soy and wild yams for a smoother, less wrinkled appearance.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer

Aveeno's daily moisturizer won the editors' choice award for the best morning anti-aging treatment by Allure magazine in 2008. Its built-in sunscreens help to keep new wrinkles from forming. Meanwhile, its light diffusers instantly brighten existing wrinkles, as soy nutrients and antioxidants such as vitamin E help to rejuvenate wrinkles and skin tone.
