Our Best Anti-Aging Creams and Moisturizers

As the years go by, it’s safe to say you may notice a few changes in the appearance of your skin (including having skin that feels drier and looks duller—fun!). And that means it could be a good idea to switch up how you take care of your complexion. When you have mature skin, it’s wise to use formulas that protect your mature skin while also staving off fine lines and wrinkles. The good news is, putting together an anti-aging skin care routine is easier than you might think, with one of the key products to build your routine around being an anti-aging face cream. Keep reading to find our best anti-aging creams and moisturizers (for men and women), broken down by skin care concern so you can find your match.

OUR BEST ANTI-AGING CREAM FOR…A DULL SKIN TONE

As skin matures, it can start to appear duller. The L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Rosy Tone SPF 30 Sunscreen Face Moisturizer is an intense daily anti-aging moisturizer that’s enhanced with rosy pigments to instantly revive the look of skin’s rosy tone. The rich, non-greasy formula smooths gently over skin to nourish it with moisture, while the rosy pigments help to reveal a younger look. Skin is immediately hydrated after using. Bonus: It’s also formulated with broad-spectrum SPF 30 (more on that soon). In the morning, smooth this anti-aging cream gently over your face after cleansing in a circular motion.

OUR BEST ANTI-AGING CREAM FOR…SUN PROTECTION

Broad-spectrum sunscreen is a skin care must year-round—no matter your age. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), you should apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher daily as directed. The L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Triple Power Day Lotion SPF 30 is an anti-aging moisturizer formulated with broad-spectrum SPF 30 that works to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and firm and brighten skin. Keep in mind, according to the FDA, applying sunscreen isn’t the only sun protection measure you should take. Additionally, you should also reapply every two hours (or immediately after swimming or sweating), limit your amount of time in the sun (especially between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.), seek shade, and wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats, and sunglasses.

OUR BEST ANTI-AGING CREAM FOR…VERY DRY OR SENSITIVE SKIN

Both dry and sensitive skin types need special care, which means you’ll want to be strategic with your moisturizer choice. The L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Hydra Nutrition Honey Day Cream is formulated with nourishing manuka honey and helps envelop skin with a replenishing layer of long-lasting, non-sticky hydration. In addition to being ideal for very dry and sensitive skin types, it’s also paraben-free. Apply a light layer onto clean skin every morning, and at nighttime, swap it out for the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Hydra Nutrition Honey Night Balm.

OUR BEST ANTI-AGING CREAM FOR…OVERNIGHT NOURISHING

Sometimes, it pays to use a different moisturizer at night than what you used in the morning. If you’re looking for an anti-aging night cream, try the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Night Cream. The rich creamy texture comforts and nourishes skin. Skin feels nourished immediately, while skin appears renewed with continued use over time. Every night, smooth this cream onto your face in an upward motion until thoroughly absorbed. For best results, first apply the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Golden Serum over cleansed skin then layer the moisturizer on top.

OUR BEST ANTI-AGING CREAM FOR…OVERNIGHT RADIANCE

Turn your AM and PM moisturizing routine into a spa-like experience with our best anti-aging night mask (which is basically just a heavy-duty night cream). The L’Oréal Paris Triple Power Triple Power Anti-Aging Overnight Mask is formulated with three of the top proven anti-aging ingredients: Pro-Retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid to visibly reduce wrinkles, firm, and brighten skin. Overnight, skin is visibly more radiant and resilient. Smooth over your face and neck every evening as the last step in your nightly skin care routine.

OUR BEST ANTI-AGING CREAM FOR…MULTIPLE AGING SKIN CONCERNS

Not everyone has just one concern they’re looking to address. If you want to tackle more than one need your skin has, the L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming Face + Neck Fragrance Free is a perfect choice. Formulated with Pro-Retinol and centella asiatica, the anti-aging moisturizer helps smooth, firm, and hydrate areas of your skin that can be prone to visible signs of skin aging, like wrinkles and loss of elasticity. Smooth it over your neck and jawline until thoroughly absorbed after cleansing in the morning and evening.
