As your skin's production of collagen decreases and damage from the sun and other factors increases, wrinkles may begin to form. They typically appear on your face around your mouth and eyes and on your forehead. Help rejuvenate and plump up your skin's firmness to minimize the severity of wrinkles with some of the best facial treatments available over the counter, as selected by beauty industry experts.

Clinique Skin Conditioning Treatment

Clinique's skin conditioning cream is one of the priciest beta hydroxy acid treatments available, but is also very effective, according to cosmetics expert Paula Begoun. Begoun handed the Clinique cream her rare "Paula's Pick" award, saying it can help make your skin look very smooth while also moisturizing it. The BHA content exfoliates, which helps eliminate fine lines, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center.

Avon's Anew Intensive Treatment

Avon's Anew Intensive Treatment contains glycolic acid, which is a chemical exfoliant, at a strength of 8 percent, according to UMMC. This can result in "modest skin improvements" in terms of a smoother, more flawless skin surface and a reduction in wrinkles, reports UMMC. The treatment comes in both facial cream form and a lighter eye product for use on the thin, sensitive skin surrounding your eyes.

Clinique CX Antioxidant Rescue Serum

Clinique's eye treatment is one of the best products available from department stores that targets skin conditions like wrinkles, according to Begoun. She writes that it's ideal for all kinds of skin and can definitely help skin repair. It includes potent vitamins and antioxidants that may also help with other skin maladies, such as poor skin tone or a dull appearance. It's oil free, so even acne-prone skin can handle it.

Le Métier De Beauté Anti-Aging Complex

Don't let the foreign name of Le Métier De Beauté's cream dissuade you away from it. It earned a coveted Editors' Pick from the beauty editors at InStyle magazine, who say the pharmaceutical-grade product delivers retinol, which is an effective anti-wrinkle derivative of vitamin A, deep into the skin. Additional antioxidants and vitamins help smooth away blemishes and encourage collagen production, while built-in sunscreen---the product has a listed sun protection factor of 20---helps keep new wrinkles from forming.
