Topical Creams for Wrinkles

Surgical dermatological procedures, like face lifts, as well as prescription injected medications can all help reduce wrinkles and tighten up your skin surface. Over-the-counter topical creams can also work, though not as effectively. For the best results, choose an anti-wrinkle cream that's been highlighted by beauty experts as effective.

Avon Ageless Results Renewing Day Cream SPF 15

Anti-aging skin care expert Paula Begoun tested Avon's wrinkle cream and found it exceptional, calling it "outstanding" and saying it has everything your skin needs to "look and feel healthy." Beneficial ingredients include peptides and antioxidant-rich soy extract. Most importantly, it contains avobenzone. This ingredient screens out the sun's wrinkle-causing UVA rays to help maintain your skin's youthful look.

Kinerase Intensive Eye Cream

For wrinkles like crow's feet around your eyes, Kinerase's cream is the best, according to "InStyle" magazine. The magazine loved its use of kinetin at a concentrated strength of 25 percent, saying it helps to deeply condition your skin to reduce fine lines. An additional positive effect is the cream's potential to lighten dark under-eye circles, though results may vary since the causes of dark circles vary by individual.

Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Sensitive Skin Creme

Coenzyme Q10 acts as an extremely powerful antioxidant that may successfully repair and protect skin to diminish wrinkles, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Eucerin's wrinkle cream comes enhaned with this enzyme and is rated as the best sensitive skin wrinkle cream by "Real Simple" magazine. The magazine gave it top marks for its use of vitamin A in the form of beta carotene--which the University of Maryland says also helps with wrinkles--and skin-nourishing vitamin E.

Darphin Paris Stimulskin Plus Intensive Face Lifting Complex

Darphin Paris' skin treatment sounds like a "face-lift in a bottle," reports Begoun. She liked its combination of antioxidants and skin-identical ingredients that may help improve the general health of your skin. It also contains moisturizers and silicone. The latter cosmetically enhances the appearance of wrinkles by filling in the small gaps in your skin. The only drawback is the herbal fragrances, which may irritate you if you have very sensitive skin.
