Consumer Reports: Anti Wrinkle Creams & Products

This Olay anti aging cream is one of the best out there. Olay’s Total Effect 7-in-1 anti aging moisturizer comes a close second, but it’s the Regenerist Advanced Anti Aging Lotion that takes the top prize from this worthy manufacturer.

When it comes to cosmetic products (and face lotions in particular), companies have been known to make outrageous claims about how their items work.

The simple truth of the matter is: most moisturizers really don’t do anything except for moisturize your skin.

This means that products advertising wrinkle elimination, age defiance, or color tone perfection are mostly unable to put their money where their mouths are.

There are a few products, however, that do deliver. A while back, Consumer Reports conducted a genuine study to see which anti aging wrinkle cream products that are being sold today are actually effective.

Unsurprisingly, they determined that most of them were little more than useless, unable even to begin to deliver on the services they so boldly offered.

There were a few Consumer Reports anti wrinkle creams, though, that did live up to expectations.

Below, we’ll take a look at the three best anti wrinkle products available to you today, giving you a brief glimpse at advanced moisturizers that actually work.

Best Anti Wrinkle Products: Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Aging Lotion

Here a look at a few of this product’s best features:

• Broad spectrum UV protection
• Effective moisturizing
• Includes amino-peptide and Vitamin B3 complex
• For all skin types
• Non comedogenic (won’t clog pores)

Best Anti Wrinkle Products: Neutrogena Healthy Skin Cream

As far as Neutrogena anti wrinkle cream products go, the Healthy Skin Cream is by far the best.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Cream is a retinol facial moisturizer infused with Pro-Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E.

Not the cheapest of the bunch, but certainly not the most expensive item on the market, this effective Consumer Reports anti wrinkle cream retails for $10.99 for a 1.7 ounce bottle.

Best Anti Wrinkle Products: Clinique Moisture On Call

Perfect for extra dry skin, Moisture On Call is a Clinique anti aging cream that works wonders.

Lightweight, non greasy, and exceptionally hydrating, Clinique Moisture On Call is a product that works well on every skin type even though it’s specifically made for those who suffer from dry skin.

The only people who need to take a pass on this Clinique anti aging cream are those who have extraordinarily sensitive skin.

Though the problem isn’t particularly widespread, there have been such consumers who’ve found that Clinique Moisture On Call has caused some irritation.

Three Anti-Aging Products That Really Work

Below I've highlighted 3 breakthrough anti-aging products worth your money. To complete my research, I checked out personal reviews on YouTube, read consumer reviews on non-biased forums and review outlets and even tested some of the products myself. Feel free to share your review of the same product in the comments section.

LightStim for Wrinkles
Out of the many, many expensive anti-aging beauty gadgets, LightStim seems to receive the highest remarks. 


The product uses LED light therapy to diminish fine lines and wrinkles around the face, tight/tone/smooth skin and restore that youthful flow. It's FDA approved and recommended by estheticians, dermatologists and plastic surgeons.


LightStim for Wrinkles sells for $299 at lightstim.com. The $299 price tag may seem really expensive, but compared to other similar products it's a bargain.

LaseResults
If the bulk of your aging comes from sun damage, make LaseResults your go-to anti-aging product. The line was launched in April of 2011 by Dr. Eric Bernstein and since then has earned its place in the anti-aging world as a worthy investment.


The LaseResults line consists of 6 different products that can be purchased individually or as a package. Buying the entire package, priced at $363, will save you 10 percent off the total price.


The products use a patent-pending CRV-8 Complex, which is a unique blend of ingredients that effectively reduces fine lines and wrinkles, brightens skin, hydrates and exfoliates. You'll find your skin is softer to the touch, more radiant in appearance and overall more consistent in tone and texture.

Joanna Vargas Skincare Line
Joanna Vargas owns a spa in New York City that's touted by various magazines -- including Allure, Elle and beyond -- as the place to go for the best facial in the city. I haven't personally gone to the salon, but I did have the opportunity to sample the product line. I'm head over heels for every single product and can promise you that the line is certainly worth your money.


As a 26 year old, I have the typical fine lines around my eyes, but I also struggle with dull, lackluster skin and larger pores. After using Joanna Vargas' line exclusively for two weeks, I was absolutely floored at the results.


One day while checking out my reflection in the mirror, I was literally floored at just how "glowy" my skin looked. I also noticed that my skin was less prone to breaking out, the lines around my eyes are less noticeable and my pores have significantly decreased in size.


Joanna Vargas' line consists of four products: Vitamin C Face Wash ($65), Daily Serum ($85), Rejuvenating Serum ($100) and Exfoliating Mask ($75).
