To cut through the marketing propaganda about anti-aging potions, listen to the advice of cosmetics experts. When it comes to anti-aging, anti-wrinkle treatments, several products have earned recommendations from beauty professionals because they contain effective wrinkle-smoothing chemicals. They won't work miracles, but they can effectively improve the appearance and condition of your skin for less-noticeable lines.

Alpha Hydrox Night ResQ

Retinol, which comes from vitamin A, can be just as effective at erasing wrinkles as prescription-only tretinoin, claims the University of Maryland Medical Center. When it comes to retinol creams, one of the best products "in any price range" is Alpha Hydrox's Night ResQ, according to anti-aging skincare expert Paula Begoun. She found it to be effective above the norm and loved that it also includes potent antioxidants like vitamin C.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Night Cream

Neutrogena's anti-wrinkle night cream comes recommended by Real Simple magazine's beauty editors for not just diminishing wrinkles but also brightening an uneven skin tone. It includes retinol to erase fine lines and hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate. Because it's non-comedogenic, blemish-prone users don't have to worry about it clogging the skin's pores.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 55

The University of Maryland Medical Center warns that the sun's rays damage your skin cells and may reduce the skin's collagen levels, leading to signs of aging like discoloration and wrinkles. Neutrogena's ultra sheer sunblock has won recommendations from numerous experts, including the fashion editors at Real Simple and Allure magazines. It contains effective active ingredients like oxybenzone and avobenzone to block both UVA and UVB rays, and it dries to a matte finish, unlike most greasy sunscreens.

Arbonne NutriMinC RE9 REactivating Facial Serum

Arbonne's anti-aging serum earned a top rating from Begoun. She notes that it has skin-conditioning ingredients like moisturizing plant-based oils and antioxidants. Sensitive-skin users may also benefit from its skin-soothing herbal extracts. It can be used daily under your makeup, as well as at night as a treatment to soften fine lines.
