The 35 Best Antiaging Products That Our Editors Can't Live Without
In the past decade, antiaging skincare has gone from a hushed word whispered in the drugstore aisle to a rallying cry belted from the beauty world's mountaintop. It's no longer an afterthought, more like a full-on societal force leading us all on a wild goose chase to the fountain of youth. Fine lines and wrinkles are nothing to be ashamed of, of course, but we'll be darned if our foundation creases across the forehead or settles under the eyes for one more minute. That stuff is expensive. Luckily for you, we're here to do the heavy lifting.
How We Chose the Best Antiaging Skincare Products
What do we say to the prospect of embarking on a year-long antiaging odyssey? Don't tempt us with a good time. We'll bring the snacks. After testing countless beauty products throughout 2021, we've settled on this all-star team of antiaging skin-care products that deserve a spot on your vanity from now until forever. And trust us, after using the best antiaging products on the market, you'll probably last that long.
We looked for products with skin-rejuvenating formulas that successfully stimulate collagen production, whether it be through exfoliation to resurface the cells or using collagen-rich ingredients to strengthen the skin. But, as any beauty enthusiast knows, antiaging ingredients can be very potent, so we made sure to exclude products that caused irritation or exacerbated symptoms related to dry and sensitive skin types. Keeping skin health in mind, we also tested products that deliver added benefits, such as improved hydration, radiance, and skin texture and tone. Not to mention, most contain powerful antioxidants that help neutralize the skin damage caused by free radicals and sun exposure.
Here are 35 antiaging creams, serums, and makeup products we'll happily vouch for.
Hanacure The All-In-One Facial Set
This Hanacure The All-In-One Facial Set delivers professional results at home with its advanced formula, which contains high concentrations of tightening, clarifying, and hydrating ingredients to reinvigorate the skin. With just one treatment, the skin is left looking visibly more firm and lifted, as well as smoother and more refined.
What SL editors said: "You mix the two components of the mask and paint it on. After 30 minutes of (slightly uncomfortable) tightening, you rinse it off. My phone literally didn't even recognize me after I used it. Exceptional tone improvement and brightening, tightening, and my pores basically vanished."

Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser
Harnessing the power of alpha and beta hydroxy acids like salicylic acid, lactic acid, and glycolic acid, the Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser acts as a chemical and physical exfoliant to buff away dry, dead skin cells and reveal a brighter and smoother complexion. Perfect for most skin types, the multitasking cleanser also contains sodium PCA, which hydrates the skin and helps it retain moisture.
What SL editors said: "I've added this to my skincare routine two to three times a week and my skin has literally never looked this good. I swear it's taken years off my face—I'll never go without it ever again."

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1
Designed with sensitive skin in mind, the Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 uses a gentle form of retinol in order to resurface the skin and increase its firmness and elasticity. Featuring 0.01 percent of the vitamin A derivative, the nighttime serum kickstarts collagen production and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and dullness in the process. It's also great for acne-prone skin as it helps accelerate the healing time of breakouts.
What SL editors said: "The formulation is smooth and creamy, and vanishes into my skin. It's gentle enough for all skin types, and I've noticed an overall brightness to my skin with consistent use. I feel like this product is potent and effective and doesn't dry out my skin whatsoever."

These ingredients also help refine the look of pores.
What SL editors said: "When it came time to start using retinol, I was nervous that some formulas would be too harsh for my sensitive skin. I use Cerave's Acne Foaming Cleanser, so I decided to give the retinol a try since it is from the same line. Not only does it help fade the appearance of dark spots and acne scars, but it helps keep new spots from forming. It's the only serum I've ever consistently used and repurchased."

My acne has improved, my sunspots have faded, and generally, my skin is much more glowy and dewy than before. It's challenging to find retinol products that are compatible with sensitive skin, but this super-hydrating formula counteracts any drying effects and generally helped my skin look healthier."

I've used Dermalogica's Daily Microfoliant for about two years and it has never irritated my skin. I always wake up with a glowier and smoother face the morning after using this, and it really does brighten, balance, and even out your skin tone while clearing out your pores."

Its silky-smooth formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin, improving its smoothness and softness as it melts in.
What SL editors said: "I've run through multiple bottles of this oil throughout the years because it's really the only antiaging oil that doesn't clog my pores. It smoothes out any fine lines I have from dry patches on my skin, and leaves me with such a super glowy complexion that I feel like I just walked out of a spa. Oils should be the last step to your skincare routine (except sunscreen in the morning), so I use about three to four drops of this oil after my moisturizer. I warm it up slightly with my fingers and tap it onto my face."
