It's not too good to be true: at-home, needle-free "botox in a bottle" treatments (kind of) exist. If you wince at the thought of sharp objects or don't have hundreds (or, more often, thousands) to drop on in-office treatments, there are pain-free, subtle, and relatively inexpensive topical products out there. Below, check out these dermatologist-approved finds and add them to your skin-care routine to help stave off early signs of aging.
Best for the Forehead: Dr. Brandt Needles No More Wrinkle Smoothing Cream
Why It's Worth It: Tackle stubble furrow lines (also known as the "11s") with Dr. Brandt's Needles No More Wrinkle Smoothing Cream. The minty-smelling cream features a blend of neuropeptides, magnesium, and adenosine, which relaxes the underlying muscle — similar to the way Botox would (albeit not as dramatically). Rounding out the lightweight cream are lactic and glycolic acids to help stimulate collagen renewal, as well as hydrating glycerin and vitamin E to support the barrier and prevent moisture loss.
Editor Tip: This formula gets to work within a mere 30 minutes to reveal softer forehead lines and crow's feet.
Key Ingredients: Peptides, magnesium, adenosine | Who It's For: People with forehead lines and brow furrows
