The 16 best anti-ageing products that keep wrinkles and fine lines at bay

We’ve rounded up these anti-ageing moisturisers, essences and serums to help your skin looking youthful. Your skin will thank us later

Best anti-ageing products SK-II R.N.A Airy Milky Lotion

One question that comes up frequently when women talk about skincare is: “When should I start using anti-ageing beauty products?” The simple answer is: Now, no matter your age.

Skin experts have long said that it’s better to start using anti-ageing products before the visible signs of ageing set in: slackened skin, sagging contours, dehydration, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, dull skin and uneven skin tone, to name a few. And even if you’re starting to see a few of these visible signs, anti-ageing products can help lessen the effects on your looks – and prevent the problem from worsening.

Your skin through the years

If you’re in your 20s, you should look at preventive anti-ageing products. Your skin is replete with collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid that keep it line-free and hydrated. Any pigmentation you may have accumulated isn’t showing yet – and can still be prevented. 

But all this wonderful stuff that comes with being younger starts to decline as you near your 30s. That’s when your skin loses collagen, which helps keep it firm and lifted. Fine lines form and skin loses a little of its radiance. Hyperpigmentation also starts to surface – the result of previous years of UV exposure.  

Keeping it looking young and beautiful

Whether you’re in your 20s or moving through the ages, using anti-ageing skincare is crucial. In younger skin, it prepares skin for the loss of volume and elasticity, and the formation of wrinkles. In older skin, it’s a skincare essential to help you preserve your looks, and keep skin looking healthy and beautiful. 

All this entails investing in a good daily skincare routine of anti-ageing products. And how do you know it’s working? You should see the first effects almost immediately: Your complexion looks less dull and dry, it has a subtle glow, and feels smooth. With regular use, your anti-ageing products should make fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores and pigmentation look less obvious, with your face looking slightly more lifted and firm. 

Choosing the best anti-ageing product for your skin

With so many anti-ageing creams on the market, it can get confusing. Here’s a useful tip: Start by addressing your biggest skin concern – and look for the product that offers a solution for that. Is it wrinkles? Dehydration? Or is it dull skin and pigmentation? 

Then, consider what kind of texture you prefer using: gel-or water-based products for oilier skin, or a richer lotion or cream if your skin is on the dry side. 

There’s a whole slew of different anti-ageing products you can use too, everything from essence, serum, moisturisers, masks and more. Here, we’ve curated some of the most potent and effective anti-ageing skincare that you can invest in. Discover the best skincare products to prevent fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of ageing.

The 16 best anti-ageing products that keep wrinkles and fine lines at bay
Moisturiser: SK-II R.N.A.POWER Airy Milky Lotion, $149
image

There’s no magic cream that can turn back the hands of time, but the skincare innovations of SK-II comes close and makes it easier to help keep your skin healthy and youthful while reducing the appearance of dull skin, fine lines, dark spots and wrinkles.

As years go by, our cell renewal slows down due to accumulated environmental damage, leaving your once radiant and dewy complexion looking a little lacklustre and dry. To refresh your skin cells more regularly, SK-II incorporates its RNArchitect Complex into its SK-II R.N.A.POWER Airy Milky Lotion.

Within the RNArchitect Complex are hydrolysed soya and yeast extracts, superior for making skin firmer and improving skin elasticity. Powered with PITERA™, a unique nutrient formulation from over 50 amino acids, vitamins and minerals, the SK-II R.N.A.POWER Airy Milky Lotion aims to boost moisture levels and promote healthier-looking skin.

Plus, this concentrate contains chlorella extract, which supposedly supports skin cell renewal through collagen regeneration. It’s a skin-conditioning agent derived from freshwater algae, which works quickly to lessen and smoothen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

This lightweight moisturiser promises a glow more true to your inner age. For optimal results, use it twice a day, in the morning and evening along with SK-II’s famed PITERA™ Essence.

Estee Lauder Re‑Nutriv Ultimate Radiant White Brightening Youth Creme, $490
image

While anti-ageing ingredients like bakuchiol, niacin and retinol are still holding court, the use of Japanese flowers has also been on the rise. Lauded for its brightening properties, this moisturiser contains white flowers that help give skin luminosity.

The potent blend of botanicals includes Japanese angelica, white tuberose and other moisturising ingredients to help calm, nourish and hydrate skin. The extracted essence from plant stem cells ramps up the skin’s natural ability to recover and renew, leading to a complexion that looks healthier and feels firmer.

The formula also promises to reduce hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production, while promoting a smooth and even skin tone.

Clarins Plant Gold - L’Or des Plantes, $110
image

Formulated with Clarins’ Blue Orchid Treatment Oil and other oils rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, this vegan complex touches upon the key factors behind youthful-looking skin — radiance, texture, smoothness, and firmness — to tackle the signs of ageing.

Every pump of this oil-based moisturiser dispenses an emulsion that refines skin texture with a moisturising veil to reveal a clearer and satin-smooth complexion.

Serum: SK-II GenOptics Aura Essence, $299
image

Don’t let its compact size fool you – the SK-II GenOptics Aura Essence is a triple treat for skin. With its auto-fill dropper that releases the optimal amount for every application, the lightweight, brightening formula reduces the appearance of dark spots, maintains smooth skin and enhances radiance.

This serum also combats issues caused by free radicals, such as dullness, sagging skin and rough texture, using its GenOptics Aura Complex containing PITERA™, Demelano P3C™ and Prunus Extract. The formula helps to refine and clarify your complexion so it looks more youthful.

Hera Youth Activating Cell Serum, $120
image

Formulated to boost healthy skin cell growth to give skin a healthy bounce, this serum promises to accelerate skin repair and recovery with its blend of collagen-boosting ingredients.

Together with its signature cell essence, it strengthens the skin from within, so it becomes more supple and elastic, while treating the damage caused by daily pollution. That means brighter, firmer and healthier skin that’s better able to recover from daily stressors.

Kora Organics Noni Night AHA Resurfacing Serum, $98
image

The name of the game here is cell turnover. Formulated to handle fine lines, reduce the appearance of pores, and promote a smoother-looking complexion, Kora Organics’ first night serum incorporates alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids and antioxidants. Together with tonka bean bio-ferment, it fights free-radical damage for smoother, hydrated and radiant skin.

Clinique Even Better Clinical Radical Dark Spot Corrector + Interrupter, $150
image

Those with pigmentation will benefit from the serum’s moisture-rich formula. Targeting acne scars and discoloration, the corrector part of the formula treats damage from sun exposure and natural ageing. At the same time, the interrupter part supposedly works by inhibiting the production of tyrosinase, which is needed in melanin formation. The promised result: fewer dark spots form, and the skin becomes more luminous and even-looking.

Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Accelerated Clarity Renewing Ampoules, $155
image

An uneven, dehydrated and dull complexion, among other things, is a part of the ageing process.

The ampoules contain concentrated active ingredients, such as glycolic, lactic and phytic acids, that penetrate deep into the dermis to supply moisture to skin while increasing cell renewal. Its star ingredient, Activated C, aims to reduce pigmentation and make skin appear visibly brighter in 14 days.

Essence: SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, $289
image

Loved by women all over the world, from celebrities to beauty editors and everyday women, SK-II’s best-selling and iconic Facial Treatment Essence (also known as PITERA™ Essence)  helps improve your skin’s ability to retain moisture, increasing skin elasticity and smoothening skin.

At the same time, it boosts the skin barrier and prevents surface damage, keeping your skin free of dullness, dryness and wrinkles caused by external pollutants and UV damage.

Just remember: an essence isn’t a moisturiser and should not be applied like one – that is, quickly massaged into the face. To use SK-II’s Facial Treatment Essence, you should first cleanse skin and apply toner, then gently smooth the product over your face and neck, patting it in until it’s fully absorbed.

Dior Prestige Lotion Essence de Rose, $160
image

The silky, hydrating essence helps you look fresh and dewy with skin that looks visibly firmer, by promising to boost the metabolism of skin cells, and helping with long-term hydration. It harnesses the essence of rose petals to reduce skin inflammation, while its rose scent adds that extra sensorial experience.

Albion Flora Drip, $182
image

Crafted using herbs and fermented extracts from Mount Shirakami in Japan, this highly concentrated essence targets the seven physical signs of ageing, including dryness, dullness, and reduced skin elasticity.

To create the essence’s rich, viscous texture, the brand uses a ferment of pure white koji and medicinal herbs. Promising a range of skin benefits, from boosting blood circulation to antioxidant properties, the anti-ageing product promotes collagen growth, and improves overall skin tone and texture.

Eye cream: Sulwhasoo Bloomstay Vitalizing Eye Cream, $125
image

Eye creams come with a lot of expectations, such as instant brightening and depuffing. After much success with its Bloomstay Vitalizing Line of toners and serums, Sulwhasoo recently launched this eye cream containing the same key ingredient, plum blossom extract.

Not only does it utilise powerful antioxidant benefits to reduce the appearance of dark circles and protect collagen fibres to maintain elasticity, it also introduces mulberry extract, which soothes the skin around the delicate eye area.

Tom Ford Research Eye Repair Concentrate, $310
image

Tom Ford’s latest eye serum is a decadent affair consisting of a rich, hydrating blend of caffeine, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and white porcelain cacao. The undereye area stays moisturised and the appearance of wrinkles is reduced. Peptides and brightening ingredients in the formula help you achieve a smooth, firm complexion.

Dermalogica Biolumin-C Eye Serum, $123
image

The brand’s much-loved Biolumin-C Serum now comes in an eye serum. Infused with the same potent blend of vitamin C, chia seed oil, and lactic acid, this vegan anti-ageing eye serum reduces the appearance of fine lines caused by environmental stress while brightening the undereye area. The formula also locks moisture into skin and supports the skin barrier.

La Prairie White Caviar Eye Extraordinaire, $860
image

Formulated with nourishing golden caviar extract, the eye cream promises to boost collagen production, improving elasticity and tone. It targets the enzyme responsible for producing melanin, helping to reduce to the look of dark circles. It also moisturises the undereye area.

Guerlain Abeille Royale Eye Cream, $135
image

Guerlain’s newly revamped eye contour cream from a decade ago promises natural-looking brightness with anti-wrinkle correction. Combined with royal jelly and sustainably harvested honey from New Zealand, it is designed to rebalance skin and soften the appearance of undereye bags and crow’s feet.
