The Top Rated Anti-wrinkle Skin Care Products

With hundreds of anti-aging, anti-wrinkle treatments available in drug stores, department stores and specialty outlets, it can be hard to choose the right skin treatment. Not only can the choices be overwhelming, but many products aren't as effective as their manufacturers claim. Save time and money by going with an anti-wrinkle cream or serum that's been analyzed and given top ratings by skincare and beauty experts.

Serious Skin Care A-Force XR

Paula Begoun, anti-aging skincare expert and author of "Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me," calls Serious Skin Care's anti-aging treatment one of the best retinol-based moisturizers available. Retinol is an effective active ingredient that exfoliates and resurfaces to soften your wrinkles. Additional conditioning ingredients, like green tea extract, also nourish your skin.

Philosophy Help Me

Short of a prescription retinol treatment, InStyle's beauty editors picked Philosophy's anti-aging cream as one of the best wrinkle reducers for mature skin. It also won an Editors' Choice award from Allure magazine. Its high vitamin A content can help smooth away wrinkles while improving the appearance of skin discoloration and pores.

Kinerase Cream

Kinerase's simply named cream comes with N6-furfuryladenine as its active ingredient, plus basic emollients for plumper and more hydrated skin. Allure magazine's beauty editors named it one of the best anti-aging products available from department stores, noting that dermatologists "adore it" because it has wrinkle-reducing effects like retinol without retinol's irritating side effects.

Dr. Gross Hydra-Pure Vitamin C Brightening Serum

Vitamin C works as a potent antioxidant to reduce the wrinkles, discoloration and similar skin troubles related to free radicals released by the sun and environmental toxins. Begoun calls Dr. Gross' vitamin C serum one of the top anti-aging serums available. The treatment is made with vitamin C at a concentration of 18 percent to help moisturize your skin while encouraging an increase in collagen levels. This may help firm your skin and reduce the depth of wrinkles.
