The Best Anti-wrinkle Skin Products

Every year, Americans spend billions of dollars on anti-aging products, surgeries and other treatments, like chemical peels, in the hopes of warding off wrinkles and other symptoms of aging in their skin, reports "Bloomberg Businessweek" magazine. You can help combat wrinkles without expensive treatments with over-the-counter skin moisturizers, serums and creams. Some of the best, as chosen by beauty experts and cosmetic industry insiders, have powerful skin-repairing chemicals that can help plump up and refine your skin surface.

Clinique Recovery Week Complex

Author Paula Begoun, the beauty expert behind "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me," named Clinique's recovery treatment one of the top moisturizers available in department stores. It's "the ideal product" after surgery or spa treatments to help your skin recover, writes Begoun, but you can use it no matter what your circumstances to "improve the appearance and feel" of your skin. Begoun found it so effective, thanks to potent amounts of anti-wrinkle antioxidants and other skin cell-conditioning ingredients, that she gave it her rare "Paula's Pick" award. Not only may it help with wrinkle appearance, but Clinique says it also can help prevent skin discoloration.

Shiseido Benefiance NutriPerfect Day Cream SPF 15

Shiseido's anti-wrinkle cream was a top finalist in the 2009 beauty awards put on by cosmetics industry trade group Cosmetic Executive Women, billed as one of the industry's most prestigious award ceremonies. It includes peptides and other antioxidants that help minimize the appearance of fine lines, as well as swirls of light-diffusing particles to instantly brighten your skin and camouflage skin discolorations. Built-in sunscreen also helps keep new wrinkles from forming.

Estee Lauder Perfectionist Wrinkle Lifting Serum

Begoun found Estee Lauder's wrinkle treatment serum one of the company's best anti-wrinkle products. It works as a "formidable" defense against wrinkles, she writes, by helping to boost your skin's natural collagen levels while protecting the skin from forming new wrinkles with potent amounts of antioxidants. Ingredients like peptides and polymers help to minimize your wrinkles' appearance, both on a skin health level and cosmetically by diffusing light for what Begoun says may be a "notably" improved skin surface.

Philosophy Hope in a Jar SPF 20

Many wrinkles form due to ultraviolet light damage. Philosophy's anti-wrinkle cream includes sunscreens to prevent this damage, while moisturizers, antioxidants and skin rejuvenating acids, like lactic acid, help to reduce the severity of wrinkles. Reviewers liked it so much that it placed as a finalist in the CEW's 2009 beauty awards. Not only may it help with your wrinkles, but it may also help smooth away poor skin texture and even out skin discoloration.
