When it comes to the truth about anti-aging skin care, the Shop TODAY team has consulted with dozens of dermatologists over the years to cut through the noise and get the scoop on ingredients that actually work. From retinoids for fading lines and antioxidants for rebuilding collagen to peptides that "signal to the skin how to act young again," these are the beauty building blocks (and their expert- and editor-approved product counterparts) that you should be incorporating into your routine. |

| "If you are not using a retinol, you are not doing anti-aging," explains board-certified dermatologist Dr. Angela Lamb. She says this cream is incredibly effective and that its formula is "seven times more powerful" than a classic retinol. To start, she recommends using this at night once a week on the face and neck. |
| |
Dr. Lamb notes that peptides act as effective communicators that "signal skin to produce collagen and elastin for firmness." According to CosRX, this serum offers six types of peptides that can also target tone, texture and hydration concerns. |

|
| According to Dr. Lamb, the lips are "often overlooked, but the fastest to age," as they lose collagen faster than facial skin. She says this treatment plumps and moisturizes the lips, in addition to reducing fine lines and wrinkles in the area. |
|
|
Dr. Lamb warns that our hands tend to show signs of aging earlier, but this cream is packed with peptides and retinol that can help with rebuilding collagen and minimizing the appearance of brown spots. She says you can use it in place of your daily lotion as it is safe to apply "several times a day." |
| |
|
| If there's one skin care step Dr. Lamb will urge you to never forget, it's sunscreen: "Sunscreen is your foundation." According to Beauty of Joseon, this lightweight formula is water-resistant, pill-resistant and will deliver glowing — never greasy! — results. |
|
|
Dr. Lamb shares that antioxidants play an important part in the daily defense of your skin, acting as a shield against pollution, stress and UV damage. She shares that this facial oil is "one of my favorite products" and can actually reverse the signs of aging. Right now, you can use code TODAY to score 25% off. |

| "Differin is a fantastic anti-aging product as it stimulates collagen production by cells in our dermis (the deeper layer of the skin)," says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Mohiba Tareen. She also shares that it acts as an exfoliant to prevent brown spots and can even help with smoothing fine lines. |
|
|
Dermatologist Dr. Corey L. Hartman says this serum is a great option for vitamin C beginners. Associate editor Shannon Garlin shares that the formula "really helps with texture and fades dark spots," and points out that its thick texture allows it to double as a moisturizer. |
| |
|
| For a retinol treatment that is both effective and non-irritating, dermatologist Dr. Michelle Henry recommends this gentle serum. According to the brand, the encapsulated retinol works deep down in the skin to improve texture and tone, while bakuchiol boosts the anti-aging effects without causing redness, drying or peeling. |

"There are so many things to love about this formula," raves commerce writer Emma Stessman.
"First and foremost, at just $10 the price is pretty unbeatable. I also have pretty dry skin and I find that this, (along with my other serums and moisturizers) helps keep it moisturized and prevents flaking. My skin is noticeably plumper and my fine lines are less visible when I'm using it," she says. |
