Don't let the dozens of anti-aging masks, creams, serums and other products overwhelm you. Let beauty professionals and skin care experts do the research legwork for you. They've highlighted some of the top anti-aging skin care products on the market, all formulated with effective ingredients that can target problems like fine lines and skin discolorations that often plague mature skin.

Patricia Wexler Intensive 3-in-1 Eye Cream

Wrinkles and other signs of aging are often most pronounced near your eyes. Patricia Wexler's eye cream helps to effectively soften and smooth out this area, according to skin care expert Paula Begoun. She praised its use of effective emollients, like all-natural shea butter and glycerin. She also notes that it contains other potential anti-aging ingredients, like peptides.

Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti-Aging Treatment

Elizabeth Arden's serum contains potent antioxidants like idebenone, leading "InStyle" magazine's beauty editors to pick it as the best anti-wrinkle product for normal skin. Dr. Randal Haworth, a dermatologist reviewing the serum for the magazine, says you should see a diminishing of your fine lines after a couple months of use.

Kiehl's Lycopene Facial Moisturizing Lotion

Kiehl's facial moisturizing cream comes infused with wrinkle-fighting vitamin E and lycopene, an all-natural antioxidant derived from tomatoes. It also contains vitamin A. These antioxidants can all help with reducing signs of aging like liver spots and lines, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. "Shape" magazine called it an "age defying" skin treatment to help reduce and repair damage.

Philosophy: A Pigment of Your Imagination

Sun damage is a major factor in the development of aging skin symptoms, and Philosophy's skin cream helps block it with an SPF of 18. This exceeds the minimum recommendations for SPF set by the American Cancer Society. Begoun tested it and found it to be exceptional, loving its use of sunscreen, skin-brightening arbutin and moisturizers that help even out your skin tone.
