Bottom Line

Contains retinol, a substance touted as the fountain of youth, to visibly reduce lines.

Pros

A “game changer” that leaves skin bright and noticeably more radiant. Great smell. Applies easily. Works well to reduce the appearance of large pores and uneven skin. Good for all skin types. Contains kinds of retinol plus peptide-rich red algae extract to improve elasticity.

Bottom Line

There are lots of loyal fans of this cream, which is touted to increase the natural production of ultra-hydrating hyaluronic acid.

Pros

Works on all skin types, even oily or acne-prone. A fast-acting, rich cream that absorbs easily and doesn’t clog pores. Contains an amino acid complex, which helps increase the production of collagen to plump up the skin and smooth out wrinkles.

Cons

Some felt it dried too quickly on the skin.

Bottom Line

It may be a less glamorous brand, but the Regenerist range continually tests top among many competitors.

Pros

Fragrance-free, so also suitable for sensitive skin. Skin feels smoother in the morning and fine lines and wrinkles are diminished. Lightweight, and absorbs quickly without leaving skin feeling greasy. Uses moisture to plump skin cells. Some men are converts, too.

Cons

The tub packaging means contents can dry up. Some found it beaded up upon application.

Bottom Line

A product with natural ingredients that leaves skin soft and glowing.

Pros

Evens out skin tone and replenishes moisture. Glides on easily. Reduces under-eye puffiness as well as fine lines. Contains alpha lipoic acid in a luxurious cream to improve the appearance of skin texture while DMAE helps firm skin.

Cons

Some objections to the fragrance, especially after it’s applied.

Bottom Line

A tried and tested wrinkle-targeting cream from the veteran Japanese line.

Pros

This cream’s forte is as an extremely good moisturizer. Works particularly well on combination skin without causing breakouts. Softens and diminishes fine lines. Non-greasy product that goes on easily, and a little goes a long way. Results last all day with WrinkleResist24 technology.

Cons

Expensive, and quite heavily scented, which some did not enjoy.

    Anti-aging cream contains ingredients to help replenish aging skin and minimize wrinkles. Night cream works while you sleep and will leave you with a soft, smooth face in the morning. Some anti-aging night creams contain a sunscreen, vitamins, or peptides, which help maintain the elasticity of your skin. Some contain plant extracts like evening primrose or green tea leaf. Although the main goal of anti-aging night cream is to treat your skin for wrinkles, there are different formulas for different skin types. Some are suitable for all skin types while others are water-based for oily skin, oil-based for dry skin, and particularly gentle for sensitive skin. The smell should please you, and it should absorb well without leaving a residue or greasy feeling.
