These Are the 6 Best Anti-Aging Products, According to Thousands of Reviews

If you want to dip your toes in the tide of anti-aging products, a good place to start is by seeing what other people have tested and liked rather than trying to sort marketing claims from fact, and gimmicks from necessity. Combined, Amazon’s five best-selling anti-aging products have racked up nearly 8,000 five-star ratings, which is a decent-sized sounding board for your skin-care concerns.

You’ll notice many of the anti-aging products that rank high up in Amazon’s best-rated section feature an ingredient called hyaluronic acid. If you’re unfamiliar with the substance, it’s a natural hydrator for the skin that’s particularly skilled at drawing in and holding moisture. Other familiar anti-aging go-tos that show up in Amazon’s top-rated products are retinol, which promotes skin cell turnover, Vitamins C and E, and natural extracts.

While each product is under the anti-aging umbrella, the creams, moisturizers, and serums vary in the specific aging concerns–like fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, and poor elasticity–they more aggressively target. If you have particularly sensitive skin, best practice is to read ingredient lists carefully so you can avoid common skin irritants in beauty products, like added fragrance. And because everyone’s skin is different, it’s always helpful to pay attention to the user testimonials to get a better sense of the results or potential side effects you can expect. Lastly, don’t get discouraged if you don’t see immediate results from one of these anti-aging products; anti-aging benefits take time, and sometimes even a little trial and error to find the right product for your skin type and concerns.

Without further ado, here’s what the Amazon community gave the highest ratings to as the best anti-aging treatments.

More than 8,000 5-star reviewers swear by this bestselling anti-aging serum with powerful vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, two of the most essential ingredients for preventing fine lines and boosting collagen production. Even better, the plant-based formulation means no additives or fragrances—just healthy, all-natural ingredients like aloe, jojoba oil, and witch hazel.

With 80 percent of its reviews being either four or five stars, Amara Organics' Age Defying Moisturizer has also earned the tag, "Amazon's Choice."

Other pluses people note are that the moisturizer absorbs into skin easily and the product lasts for a long time, with one Amazon customer saying she didn't need another Age-Defying Moisturizer for six months.

It's another "Amazon's Choice," and satisfied users say it's given them fewer wrinkles, clearer skin with reduced acne, and better overall skin tone.

One stand-out review comes with the disclaimer, "This is going to sound insane," and goes on to say that after just one week of using the anti-aging retinol cream at least once a day, a few fine lines on the happy customer's forehead are "completely" gone.
