1. Athena 7 Minute Lift
If you have ever searched for an anti-ageing cream, you’ll likely have already come across the Athena 7 Minute Lift. Promoted by Good morning America, this cream has clinically proven results and promises to ‘reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines and sagging skin in 7 minutes’.
It targets frown lines, laugh lines, crows feet and under eye wrinkles and was officially chosen to be ‘featured at the 2013 Oscars Celebrity Red Carpet Gift Event’. If that doesn’t convince you to give it a try, you should check out the testimonials and before and after photos on their website. Oh, and best of all, you can try the product out for a 60-day free trial.
2. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair
Next up is well-known skincare brand Estee Lauder. I personally use this Estee Lauder’s Double Wear Light foundation so I wasn’t too surprised to hear that their Advanced Night Repair is just as good.
According to the experts, this formula was specifically developed to intensively repair your skin to soothe past damage, prevent future damage and visibly eliminate lines. It’s not cheap – at $150.00 for 50ml, but is one of the top rated anti-ageing serums on the market.

3. Nivea Visage Q10 Plus Anti-Wrinkle Day Cream SPF15
Ah, Nivea. What ‘best of the best’ product list would be complete without an entry from this skincare superpower? Believed to fight wrinkles from within to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines, the Q10 Plus Anti-Wrinkle Cream is a good entry-level product to begin with.
It also works to act as an advanced wrinkle protection and with the added benefit of SPF 15, can help protect your skin from damaging UV rays. According to NIVEA, you can expect to see results within two weeks.

4. Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Supplement Serum
What, you thought Bobbi Brown was just for makeup? Nuh-uh, girl, think again. Another powerful serum, this Bobbi Brown concoction has a double action to improve the skin’s appearance and prevent signs of ageing at the same time. It uses grape extract and white birch extract for brighten skin and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. Oh, and it smells fantastic.
5. Skinceuticals Retinol 0.5 Night Cream
And if you’re looking for an anti-ageing heavyweight, have a look at the Skinceuticals Retinol 0.5 Night Cream. Winner of the Beauty Choice New Beauty award, this night cream is said to help decrease the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and age spots as well as even out skin tone.
This night cream contains retinol to stimulate cell regeneration. The boost of cell regeneration results in collagen development, which not only prevents against signs of ageing but also helps treat current signs. This cream is also available in Retinol 1.0, but it’s recommended that you start with the lower dosage and work your way up.
6. MAC Fast Response Eye Cream
Want to target crows feet and dark circles? If so, then the Mac Fast Response Eye Cream should be taking prime placement in your beauty cabinet. Containing caffeine, it works to instantly help reduce puffiness and dark circles. It also helps erase wrinkles and fine lines and softens and soothes the skin.
7. Lancôme Absolue L’Extrait
According to Lancôme, this elixir is produced by extracting two million native cells from the Lancôme Rose. The Lancôme rose, which has been scientifically developed, is said to be both very rare and very resilient. I don’t know about you, but I’m picturing some kind of Beauty and the Beast rose in a glass box sort of deal.
But even if it’s not, I wouldn’t be too disappointed. After all, this product is still pretty cool. The extracted rose cells have been shown to enhance the skin’s regenerative potential, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and produce firmer, smoother and more radiant skin.
8. LifeCell Skin Cream
Never heard of LifeCell? Don’t worry, neither had I. But we should both thank our lucky stars that we now know about them. Toted as an alternative to Botox, this product promises magical anti-ageing results.
Interestingly, LifeCell advises that the human eye cannot actually visibly see a wrinkle. Instead, what we see is the shadow made by a wrinkle. But if you can manipulate the light, then you can create the illusion of perfect skin.
But LifeCell doesn’t just create an illusion. Containing six powerful and effective anti-ageing ingredients, LifeCell has been said to shave 10 to 15 years off your appearance. And best of all, LifeCell promises this result for life. You can try it out for a 30-day money back guarantee.
9. Olay Regenerist Wrinkle Relaxing Cream
Don’t have time to sit and wait for your anti-aging creams to take effect? No problem! Olay promises results with just one application of their Regenerist Wrinkle Relaxing Cream. Using the power of advanced light manipulation, your skin will look and feel immediately smoother, firmer and softer. This product contains Petpamide Y6, which acts to deeply hydrate the skin and reduce the appearance of eye lines in within 14 days.
10. Clinique Anti-Gravity Firming Eye Lift Cream
As we age, our facial skin becomes thinner and thinner, which can increase the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The Clinique Anti-Gravity Eye Lift Cream works to add more ‘cushion’ to the skin to help reduce wrinkles and rebuild the skin. This cream can be used morning and night.
11. Philosophy Miracle Worker
This skincare line is so enchanting that I just want to buy one of everything. Okay, maybe two of everything. You know, in case I run out …
Anyway, the Philosophy Miracle Worker (how awesome is that name?) cream helps improve the appearance of your neck and décolleté by boosting collagen and elastin levels. Expect to reveal skin that looks smoother, softer, more even and firmer.
12. Mary Kay TimeWise Firming Eye Cream
Wear contact lenses but still want to eliminate your wrinkles? Easy. The TimeWise cream has been specifically developed to be suitable for individuals that wear contact lenses. It is also described as luxuriously rich and works to offer intense moisturization while attacking wrinkles and fine lines. It is suitable for all skin types.
13. Relastin Eye Silk
Winner of the allure beauty award, the Precision MD Relastin Eye Silk has been formulated to be gentle yet effective when working on the delicate eye area. It targets the skin’s upper layers to help increase the production of elastin.
Clinical studies have shown that after two weeks of Relastin use, skin is visibly firmer and smoother. Fine lines and wrinkles fade and dark circles and puffiness decreases. This product can also be used as a primer before makeup application.
