The Best Face Creams for Wrinkles

Smooth on a wrinkle-fighting facial cream and help to soften the severity of fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes, mouth and other areas of your face. Nothing can turn back the hands of time, but the best creams contain effective anti-aging ingredients that can help to condition, nourish and rejuvenate the surface of your skin.

L'Oreal Wrinkle De-Crease Collagen Filler

L'Oreal's anti-wrinkle day cream is enhanced by vitamin E--topical vitamin E may help to reduce the depth and length of facial wrinkles, reports the University of Maryland Medical Center--and collagen, according to anti-aging beauty expert Paula Begoun. It also contains Boswelox, L'Oreal's proprietary herbal extract that may work as a potent antioxidant to combat and prevent fine lines.

RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream

The beauty editors at Women's Health magazine picked ROC's night cream as the best wrinkle treatment, specifically noting its use of retinol as an active ingredient. Retinol is one of the most effective de-wrinkling chemicals, helping to exfoliat and rejuvenate the skin's surface and undoing the damage caused by ultraviolet light radiation. The cream also contains skin-plumping moisturizers and nourishing minerals such as copper, which may help to soften wrinkles.

Laura Mercier Multi-Vitamin Serum

Laura Mercier's vitamin serum is marketed as a wrinkle and fine line-reducing treatment. Begoun calls it a "very well-formulated, antioxidant-rich serum" and says it may help make your skin appear smoother and more toned with a firmer feel. Active ingredients include wrinkle-combating vitamin C and vitamin A, moisture-trapping glycerin, natural extracts such as oat kernels, plus standard skin conditioners and moisturizers such as niacinamide and shea butter.

MD Formulations Moisture Defense Antioxidant Moisturizer SPF 20

MD Formulations' wrinkle-preventing lotion earned a rare "Paula's Pick" award from Begoun, meaning it is effective above and beyond expectations. She says it has "plentiful" levels of antioxidants, which can help to condition and protect skin cells to minimize wrinkles, plus zinc oxide for effective shielding against the wrinkle-creating ultraviolet light from the sun. She also loves how it dries to a natural matte finish.
