The best anti aging creams tend to be at the luxury end of the anti aging skin care market.
Stuffed full of highly active ingredients and formulated to be ultra moisturizing, these products are not cheap. But don’t we all deserve a little luxury in our lives even in these cash tight times?
If you ask ten women what is the best anti aging cream – quite likely you’ll get ten different suggestions. We all have unique skin and different needs in a a face cream – in the end you need to go for what suits you and your budget. To get you started here’s my personal best face cream list (updated for 2011):
1. Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lifting Cream – a really top anti aging cream. Ritzy packaging and a very high spec of active ingredients that include: creatine to tone and lift (the same substance bodybuilders use to sculpt their abs!), resveratrol and green tea – both hot new ingredients for combatting skin aging. Resveratrol is derived from red wine and has a powerful antioxidant effect. Reviews are consistently positive reporting significant improvement in wrinkles on face and neck. Many users comment on the glow the cream gives to the complexion. Expensive but discounted on Amazon. An oldie but goldie – reformulated and improved many times and still going strong.
2. Skinceuticals Renew Overnight – A skin-refining anti aging cream at an affordable price from this dermatogist backed advanced skin care range. Contains 10% hydroxy acid blend to gently exfoliate the skin plus extracts of aloe, chamomile, evening primrose oil, and comfrey to hydrate and calm the skin.
Continuous use definitely shows in a more radiant complexion and a reduction in lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. Choose normal to dry or normal to oily – both versions have good reviews. Excellent buy at the price.
3. Dr Brandt Time Arrest Creme de Luxe – Another highly active anti aging cream from a physician grade brand of skin care. The cream is based on an intense polypeptides complex plus natural actives like grape stem cells to add radiance and long lasting hydration. Silipearls give the cream a wonderful silk like feel and lock the moisture in. Use day and night.
Again – because of the expensive high active ingredients – it’s not a budget option but Dr Brandt’s products have a wonderful reputation.
4. Murad Hydra Dynamic Ultimate Moisture – An all-in-one anti aging cream formulated to repair, nourish and protect. This is a gorgeous silky textured but non-greasy cream from one of the best names in skin care. Rich fruit oils deliver long lasting hydration and active ingredients include a retinol and collagen support complex. Skin is polished and soft all day. Affordable, lovely to use and very effective. Will come up high on anyone’s best face cream list.
So which one of these great products is my choice for best anti aging face cream? It is a difficult decision but I would have to go with either the Murad Ultimate Moisture or the ever popular Skinceuticals Renew Overnight.
