Anti-aging creams are designed to help minimize the signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines and dark spots. Ingredients that are helpful include retinol, which is a form of vitamin A, hydroxy acids, coenzyme Q10, copper peptides, kinetin and tea extracts, according to MayoClinic.com. Creams that contain these ingredients can help improve the appearance of aging skin but can't completely remove wrinkles and age spots.
Osmotics Kinetin Intensive Eye Repair
According to a survey of dermatologists, makeup artists and beauty editors conducted by 2glow.com, Osmotics Kinetin Intensive Eye Repair cream is very effective at reducing the effects of sun damage and age on delicate eye skin, reports "Shape" magazine. According to MayoClinic.com, the active ingredient, kinetin, may help reduce wrinkles by helping skin retain moisture and by stimulating the production of collagen with little irritation. Osmotics Eye Repair cream retails online for around $75 as of 2010.
La Mer The Eye Balm
The sea minerals and malachite in this light-diffusing cream help diminish redness, reduce puffiness and dark circles and minimize fine lines in the eye area. Those polled in the 2glow.com survey found La Mer's Eye Balm to be more effective than many other anti-aging creams on the market. The marine extracts and advanced botanicals in this eye treatment helps soothe, smooth and soften the appearance of facial skin. This product can also be used to treat signs of aging around the mouth and in the forehead region. As of 2010, La Mer's Eye Balm retails for $145 for 1/2 oz.
Le Métier De Beauté Anti-Aging Complex
The editors of "InStyle" magazine chose Le Métier De Beauté Anti-Aging Complex as the top anti-aging product of 2010. Relying on tried-and-true retinol, this treatment foundation allows the skin-smoothing complex to penetrate the skin safely and effectively through a patented and proprietary delivery technology called Syntoc Actif. The sheer, lightweight foundation helps stimulates collagen production, increase blood flow, diminish dark circles, and soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It is available through Neiman Marcus department stores and retails for around $125 for 1 oz. in 2010.
Olay Definity Restorative Night Cream
Effective nighttime hydration can go a long way to diminish the signs of aging that are often exacerbated by dry, dull skin. New York City-based facial plastic surgeon Steven Pearlman raves about Olay Definity Restorative Night Cream's ability to infuse cell-plumping glucosamine deep below the surface of the skin. Voted Best Night Cream for 2010 by the editors of "InStyle," Definity Night Cream can help reduce hyperpigmentation and minimize wrinkles. The reasonably-priced whipped night cream can be purchased at most drug retailers throughout the U.S. as well as online. It retails for about $25 in 2010.
