Although your dermatologist or doctor offers potent facial products to help recondition and improve your facial skin's health, over-the-counter creams from department stores or drugstores can also help. For day creams, look for a product that includes sunscreen. For nighttime use, any antioxidant-rich and moisturizing treatment can help improve your skin's appearance.
Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Firming Moisture SPF 20
Neutrogena's firming moisturizer "deserves praise," writes skincare expert Paula Begoun, who ranked it as "very good." She liked its combination of copper, antioxidants and other skin conditioners. Additionally, it includes zinc oxide-based sunscreen ingredients to defend your skin from the sun's aging effects. Because it's non-comedogenic, you can use it without worrying about blemishes or clogged pores.
Jouviance Eco Defense Antioxidant Emulsion 3-in1
Jouviance's antioxidant-enriched cream was named a great pick by the beauty editors at "Lou Lou" magazine. It includes various antioxidants to help defend your skin from the effects of free radicals, which are particles that may contribute to skin damage like wrinkles. Basic moisturizers also help nourish and plump up your skin cells.
Olay Complete Defense Daily UV Moisturizer SPF 30
Get the protective benefits of a sunscreen with the anti-aging benefits of Olay's anti-aging treatments with Olay's Complete Defense cream. Begoun calls it a "great...sunscreen" with potent wrinkle-fighting ingredients like antioxidants, niacinamide and vitamins. A second version of the cream comes formulated for sensitive skin and carries the same high ranking from Begoun.
Clinique Superdefense Age Defense Moisturizer
Clinique's facial cream was listed as a "Great Pick" by "Lou Lou" magazine's beauty editors. It helps block UVB and UVA rays to minimize the creation of new wrinkles, while glycerin and other emollients helps moisturize your face. Begoun liked its "silky" texture, and says it comes "loaded" with antioxidants and ingredients that can help boost your cells' health.
