Instead of undergoing expensive and painful cosmetic surgery, gently enhance your skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles with an over-the-counter department store or drugstore anti-wrinkle cream. Though you shouldn't expect miracles, several creams have been tested by industry insiders or cosmetics experts who vouch for the cream's efficacy at moisturizing and improving the skin's surface for improvement of your wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Arbonne NutriMinC Re9 REtaliate Wrinkle Filler
Arbonne's NutriMinC Re9 REtaliate Wrinkle Filler is one of the company's most impressive anti-wrinkle creams, according to Paula Begoun, beauty expert and author of "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me." She says that it includes emollients to moisturize your skin, as well as skin tighteners to temporarily tone your skin and smooth out wrinkles. She also liked its antioxidants and peptides, which can help condition the skin and may prevent future wrinkle-causing damage.
DDF Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer
DDF's Wrinkle Resist Plus Pore Minimizer comes in a translucent package so you can see the cream and serum swirled together in an artistic, eye-catching manner. It's not all aesthetics; the product placed as a top finalist in the Cosmetic Executive Women's 2009 beauty awards, one of the biggest award shows for the cosmetic industry. It includes amino peptides and vitamin peptides to help to refine the skin, encourage exfoliation and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. A touch of concealer in the product also helps to cosmetically enhance your skin and camouflage large pores and skin discoloration.
Mary Kay TimeWise Day Solution Sunscreen SPF 25
MaryKay's anti-aging sunscreen cream won Begoun's rare "Paula's Pick" award, designating outstanding and effective products. She says it's "the most impressive daytime moisturizer" in Mary Kay's TimeWise product line, thanks to a "great selection" of wrinkle-fighting ingredients such as antioxidants and moisturizing emollients. The built-in sunscreen also helps to prevent new wrinkles from forming due to ultraviolet light damage. Begoun notes that the cream dries sheer, so you can easily wear it under your favorite makeup products.
Olay Regenerist 14 Day Skin Intervention
Olay Regenerist's two-week treatment kit won top honors at the CEW's 2009 beauty awards in the anti-aging category. The cream is separated into 14 different miniature applicators. The first seven include exfoliators, peptides and moisturizers to refine the skin cells on the surface of your skin. The last seven treatment applicators include higher concentrations of peptides to lift and reduce wrinkles.
