Aging isn’t just part of life, it’s a privilege.

That being said, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to maintain smooth, radiant, and overall healthy skin.

Whether you’re looking to soften fine lines and wrinkles or firm and tighten your skin, there are skincare products out there designed to help target these common concerns and keep your skin looking its best.

I spoke to board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Brooke Jeffy, to find out exactly which ingredients and products are most effective in treating common signs of aging.

What are the most common signs of aging?

It’s natural that your skin changes as you age.

You’ll never be able to fully reverse the clock (and who wants that anyway), but using skincare products containing dermatologist-recommended ingredients can help soften and slow these signs of aging.

While everyone’s skin is unique, Dr. Jeffy explains these changes usually come in the form of hyperpigmentation, dullness, fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.

You’ll want to target these common changes if you want to keep your skin looking radiant, plump, and smooth.

Does anti-aging skincare actually work?

While we aren’t anti or against aging, many brands market skincare targeting signs of aging under that moniker.

But no matter what it’s being called, Dr. Jeffy says it might actually work. “There is great evidence for sunscreen, retinoids and Vitamin C,” she shares.

When should I start using anti-aging skincare?

Dr. Jeffy shares that people should start adding anti-aging skincare products to their routine in their late 20s and early 30s.
