As we age, we may stay young at heart on the inside, but our skin often begins to show the years on the outside.
Aging is a natural process that eventually happens to everyone, but that’s not to say we can’t do our best to keep our skin looking and feeling young and healthy.
Taking steps to include anti-aging products in your skincare routine sooner rather than later is the best way to bolster your skin as it ages to help fight the visible signs of aging and support healthy skin function underneath it all.
These are the best-selling anti-aging skincare products of 2024 and why we love them.
Fresh Black Tea Anti-Aging Ceramide Moisturizer
Price: $95
Where to use it: On your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
This super lightweight anti-aging cream from skincare giant Fresh is worth the hype. The cream does not include retinoids, which can be problematic for sensitive skin, but instead includes BT Matrix™, which has proven to offer retinal-like performance.
This patented complex offers 7x smoother wrinkles, 5x visibly firmer skin & 4x more radiance after eight weeks of continuous use.
The natural decline in collagen that occurs as we begin aging brings with it sagging and loose skin, which is visibly altered after using this incredible facial moisturizer.
Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Masks
Price: $42 for five pairs
Where to use it: Smooth on directly underneath the eyes.
Since the skin underneath the eyes is one of the first places that the signs of aging begin to show, it’s essential that you maintain this area.
These premium, extra-large under-eye patches, developed with the input of skincare expert Dr Zion Ko, deliver a boost in the form of retinol delivered directly to that sensitive, soft-skinned area.
These patches are proven to visibly erase lines and firm that problem area, leaving you looking glowy and wide awake.
These masks are vegan, cruelty-free, tiny enough to fit into an overnight bag for a morning glow-up, and great for all skin types except oily skin.
PCA SKIN Lip Plumper Serum
Price: $49.50
Where to use it: All over clean, exfoliated lips.
For some people, lips can begin to look a little dehydrated and sometimes even deflated as time goes by.
Our skin’s ability to retain moisture deteriorates as we age, so we have to use skincare, or in this case, lip care products that add moisture and return them to their natural, full, and fresh look.
PCA Skin’s Hyaluronic acid-infused Lip Booster really delivers on that promise and minimizes the look of fine lip lines, leaving your pout looking youthful. When used consistently, it’ll keep your lips hydrated at all times.
Algae Niacinamide Moisture Veil — Algenist
Price: $65
Where to use it: All over a clean, dry face, avoiding the eye area.
If you struggle with oily skin but still want the benefits of an anti-aging product, this is the product for you. Using a liquid moisturizer might initially feel strange, but it’s just like using a serum.
Algenist has created this powerful formula to minimize shine and help maintain the skin barrier which often struggles to keep up as we begin to age.
CurrentBody RF Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Device
Price: $385
Where to use it: All over your face and neck, including decolletage.
Having skincare tools at your disposal is one of the best ways to maintain your skin’s health and appearance as the years go by.
This microcurrent device produces radio frequency waves that aid in stimulating collagen production, which helps minimize fine lines and wrinkles.
Tests show that the CurrentBody is 33% more effective than other radio frequency devices on the market. 100% of users say they have seen a reduction in eye area wrinkles, sagging skin, smile lines, and jowls with consistent use (from the 8-week mark).
UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 — EltaMD
Price: $43
Where to use it: All over the face, neck, and hands after the rest of your skincare.
SPF is a must every single day, enter or summer, no matter how old you are.
Blocking the sun’s UVA and UVB rays from making direct contact with our sensitive, aging skin means that you are minimizing the change of sun-related damage, like unsightly age spots, but also the risk of more severe and long-term damage like melanoma.
Adding a lightweight, oil-free sunscreen to your routine means you’ll look younger for longer.
This ELtaMD product was The Beauty Authority NewBeauty Award Winner in 2023 and continues to deliver the same quality in 2024.
If your skin is particularly sensitive or prone to blemishes, this is the SPF for you. The formula benefits your skin as it protects. Don’t forget to reapply!
Nécessaire The Body Retinol Overnight Repair Treatment
Price: $55
Where to use it: All over your body, hands, and feet.
Though the signs of aging often show up first in the sensitive skin on the face, we mustn’t forget that our whole body could do with some loving care.
An anti-aging product, like this retinol overnight cream from Nécessaire, can refresh sensitive skin all over the body.
The treatment features 0.1% pure retinol, 10% AHA, and five peptides and vitamins, all blended together in a soft, moisturizing cream that melts into the skin.
Since this product contains retinol, be careful when exposing bare skin to the sun — always apply SPF.
