Dermatologists and beauty aficionados are big fans of this wrinkle cream because it contains peptides, antioxidants and niacinamide to help strengthen the skin barrier and keep it supple and hydrated. “This formula is designed to tell your skin to produce more collagen and elastin,” Mollie Kelly Tufman, PhD, biochemist and founder of The Beauty Lab, previously told Glamour. It has a lightweight, serum-like finish that differentiates it from the other heavier textures on this list, and it’s a great pick for mature skin types because it targets all kind of wrinkles, including deep forehead wrinkles or 11 lines.
“After using this consistently, it did give my face a subtle shine that made me look refreshed, and the thinner lines looked less deep, particularly on my forehead,” says Glamour tester Charlotte Twine. “It also layers beautifully with my other serums and sunscreen in my skin care routine, without clumping up or pilling.”
Best for Crepey Skin: SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced Anti-Aging Cream

- Pros: Hydrates; has a thick texture
- Cons: Pricey; can be a bit sticky
A.G.E. Interruptor targets a particular culprit behind collagen breakdown: sugar. Through a process called glycation, sugar molecules turn your collagen and elastin brittle and weak, leading to loose, sagging skin. This deploys a whopping 18% proxylane, antioxidant-rich fruit extracts, and an anti-inflammatory compound to offset this process, improving fine lines, forehead wrinkles, laugh lines, marionette lines (around the chin), glabellar wrinkles (a.k.a. the 11s), and even crow’s feet.
Glamour contributor Helen Bonzulak noticed brighter skin and a firmer, lifted jawline after using this cream over the span of a few weeks. “I used it with the A.G.E. serum, and my skin still felt hydrated and plump three hours later. I also like to apply it on the décolleté to help address crepey skin in that area.”
