13 Anti-Aging Products to Get You Through the Year

It’s safe to say most of us would like to do everything in our power to reduce the visible signs of aging, whether they’re a current or future concern. In order to navigate things like fine lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness and age spots, it’s a smart idea to add a few anti-aging products to your skin care routine.

That said, you don’t want to use just any anti-aging skin care products — you and your skin deserve the very best. To help you narrow down your options, we’re detailing product picks like brightening eye cream and a creamy facial cleanser. Read on to get the scoop on our best anti-aging products for the year.

L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Nourishing Cream Cleanser

Beyond wrinkles, dry skin can make you appear older. And as you age, your skin’s ability to produce natural oils slows down, which can result in dry, rough skin. Look for an anti-aging facial cleanser that provides moisture, like this pick. It’s formulated with replenishing oils for mature skin and gently yet effectively removes traces of makeup to clean without over-drying for soft and resilient skin.

L’Oréal Paris Revitalift 1.5% Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum

If you go straight from cleansing to moisturizing, there is one crucial skin care step you should add to your anti-aging routine: applying a face serum. You can’t skip facial serum! This hydrating serum includes high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid so that the powerhouse ingredient absorbs quickly and locks in moisture at the top layer of the skin. The result is intense hydration on visibly plumped skin with a reduced appearance of wrinkles. Use it in the day and at night.

L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives Night Serum, 0.3% Pure Retinol

As you build your routine, look for an anti-aging serum that’s formulated to address your specific skin concerns. This night serum helps to target fine lines and wrinkles along with uneven skin tone. It’s formulated with pure retinol and helps to refine your skin texture and visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles over time.

L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Anti-Aging Midnight Serum

As night serums go, you may also find that you benefit from one that does some of its best work while you catch up on beauty sleep. This day-to-night serum formulated with an exclusive antioxidant recovery complex — made with bitter orange and vitamin E — works while skin is in peak recovery mode. But don’t be fooled by the name, you can also use it in your morning skin care routine too — it’s chock full of antioxidants, absorbs quickly and won’t clog pores.

L’Oréal Paris Age Triple Power Day Lotion SPF 30

Once your serum has penetrated into your skin, it’s time to move on to moisturizer. This step will differ depending on the time of day. In the morning, you’ll want to look for an anti-aging cream or moisturizer with SPF — sun protection is a must at all ages. We love this pick because it’s perfect for year-round weather and includes SPF 30.

If you’re using your Midnight Serum during the daytime, follow it up with the L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Anti-Aging Day Moisturizer SPF 25. Also made with an exclusive antioxidant recovery complex, it helps to recover the skin’s antioxidant reserves day after day. Plus, it’s made with SPF 25 for added sun protection.

L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Pressed Night Moisturizer With Retinol + Niacinamide

When you’re looking for the best anti-aging products, it’s smart to find a moisturizer that's specifically intended to be used in the evening, too. This pick is formulated with retinol and niacinamide to reduce wrinkles, even skin tone and deeply moisturize the skin. Since retinol can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun, this cream should only be used at night and followed up with broad-spectrum sunscreen the next morning.

L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Anti-Aging Night Moisturizer

If you’re on the hunt for a night cream that offers all night hydration and no sun sensitivity, opt for this nourishing pick. Its patented formula helps to reinforce the skin’s barrier for a firmer, smoother and more radiant visage. And over time, your skin boasts the appearance of fewer wrinkles.

L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Triple Power Anti-Aging Overnight Mask

Put this anti-aging mask on your radar if you’re in the market for a moisturizer that contains three top derm-recommended ingredients: hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and Pro-Retinol. This junk-free formula (yep, no parabens or dyes) makes skin look more radiant overnight and over time reduces the look of wrinkles, brightens and firms the skin. 

L’Oréal Paris Wrinkle Expert 45+ Moisturizer

We can’t talk about the best anti-aging moisturizers and not include our favorite targeted anti-wrinkle creams. Formulated with Retino-Peptide, this face lotion for the 45 and older crowd effectively works to improve skin smoothness and firmness. It visibly reduces signs of aging, including wrinkles, sagging and dryness.

If you’re team 55 and older, reach for the L’Oréal Paris Wrinkle Expert 55+ Moisturizer which is formulated with calcium to strengthen thinning skin and improve smoothness.

L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid + 1% Caffeine Eye Serum

If you often forget about the skin around your eyes, consider this your wake-up call. When it comes to mature skin, the delicate area surrounding your eyes can be one of the first spots to show visible signs of aging. If you haven’t already, add an eye cream, treatment or serum to your skin care routine.

This eye serum helps to cushion mature, crepey skin with nourishing moisture. It also reduces puffy bags and brightens dark circles to leave you with eyes that look more youthful over time. Use the triple roller applicator to give your eye area a soothing massage.

L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Anti-Aging Eye Cream Treatment

If you prefer a creamy eye treatment over a serum, don’t worry — we’ve got you covered too. This eye cream is made with vitamin E and a patented antioxidant to target five signs of aging, including dark circles, bags, puffiness, lines and crepey lids. It immediately firms and hydrates the eye area and over time dark circles look brighter and crow’s feet look smoothed out.
