Best Wrinkle Creams: An Assessment of a Few of the Most Helpful Wrinkle Ointments

Some of the very best wrinkle creams are within your reach. Take a look for more detail.

Price Range: Less Than $200
Product: Un-Wrinkle by Peter Thomas Roth Clinical Skin Care ($120)

This product is a very concentrated blend of six strong ingredients designed to relax muscles and deliver anti-aging peptides right where it's needed most. Peptides are used to combat the signs of aging and are believed to encourage cell growth, plumping up the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as relax the muscle. They're considered an injection alternative.

With its high price tag, Un-Wrinkle should work and while it definitely does the job, it's not a complete miracle worker. Users need to understand they are simply not going to see the results they'd get from surgery or Botox injections, and some may be happier with a lower price point product that's just as good.

Price Range: Less than $50
Product: Hope in a Jar by Philosophy Skin Care ($38/2 oz. jar)

First designed for the medical, dermatological market, Hope in a Jar is probably one of the best wrinkle creams and all-around moisturizers I've ever found. It's the kind of product that you tell your friends about.

The ingredients list in this product seems basic - a few antioxidants, a touch of lactic acid - and yet, this is a moisturizer that produces almost instant results. Skin feels softer, looks smoother and even appears more plumped, as if the wrinkles are filling out. If you're looking for a product with wrinkle prevention properties too, take a shot with Hope in a Jar (SPF is included).

Price Point: Less than $20
Product: Bare Escentuals bareVitamins Eye Rev-er Upper ($19)

This is a product that's both a wrinkle and eye cream. It's a lightweight balm designed to brighten the under-eye, reduce puffiness and lighten the skin color, but also fills in and softens the appearance of wrinkles. So, it reduces that fatigued look of tired eyes while simultaneously making you appear younger, fresher and brighter.

At just $19 a pop, this is a pretty decent deal. It's fragrance free, though some users will notice a hint of cucumber. The product has been ophthalmologist tested and is available right from Bare Escentuals or retailers like Sephora or Macy's.

The best wrinkle creams aren't always the ones that cost the most. Nor do they necessarily boast the hottest new technology or gimmick. Sometimes you don't need a massive price tag or a wild new gimmick; rather, you just need a product that's tried, tested and true.

When buying wrinkle creams, remember to test the product on your body before using it on your face or eyes.
