Fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, sun spots, lackluster skin — these are all common skincare concerns that creep up as we get older, whether it be due to the natural effects of aging or spending too much time in the sun without SPF. Anti-aging products exist to support the overall health of the skin as well as address some of these woes, especially when powered by potent anti-aging ingredients such as ceramides, retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid. 

“There are many benefits to using an anti-aging skincare regimen, including a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles,” Georgia Smith, a cosmetic chemist and founder of Skin Sister, confirms. She notes that anti-aging products can be used as a preventative measure and to address pre-existing concerns in mature skin. “Usually anywhere from 25-plus years old is a good time to start using an anti-aging skincare regimen to slow down the process [of aging] and make skin appear more youthful.”
