Introduction

Choosing the right Anti-Aging Cream can be as effective as a trip to the dermatologist only without the use of any needles. People worried about looking frozen or who are too scared to go under the knife, have a safe alternative by using a Anti-Aging Creams. This is because a potent Anti-Aging Creams will be lightweight in order to be absorbed quickly into the skin and potent enough to penetrate and restore skin cells. This is the crucial layer maturing skin needs underneath a moisturizing cream. Most people don’t begin using Anti-Aging Cream until they are in their 40s, but studies show that the earlier and more consistent you are with Anti-Aging Creams, the more effective they are.

Choosing our top pick for Anti-Aging Creams was not difficult. One look at Agelyss Anti-Aging Cream had everyone on our team raving! The 5 patented ingredients each stand out in their own unique way and together they create a powerful serum to work deeply in the dermal layers of the skin. Usually, serums which contain clinically-proven ingredients are extremely costly or come with a low concentration of active ingredients in order to save costs. However, Agelyss comes very reasonably priced and actually has a rather high 10% concentration of actives compared with the standard 2%.

After perusing customer reviews online and researching the manufacturer, we were a bit surprised to see that there is a 365-day money back guarantee on this Anti-Aging Cream! What makes that even better is that customers can take advantage of the bulk discounts offered by Agelyss because everything is returnable.

If you’re looking for a dramatic difference in your skin or even a preventative measure against future wrinkles, it behooves you to read this review and find out what the Agelyss Anti-Aging Cream can do for you.

	Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum

Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum

What Do We Like?
  • Contains 8 active ingredients.
  • 100% money-back guarantee within 30 days from purchase date.
  • Paraben and preservative free.
  • Contains potent, but potentially unstable, L-ascorbic acid.
The Downside
  • Expensive.
  • Should include patented ingredients.
  • Serum pH much lower than skin pH.
Introduction

Our #2 choice for Anti-Aging Cream is Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum. Anti-Aging Creams are known to be lightweight and potent in order to successfully penetrate the skin and get real results. As we investigated hundreds of Anti-Aging Creams, we checked that their formulas were composed of top quality ingredients which were proven by clinical studies.

While we did find ingredients that look good in this product, we did not see any that were patented or trademarked. Therefore there are no ingredients which are tested and proven by scientific research or backed by clinical data.

In addition, what was interesting was the inclusion of L-ascorbic acid. This is a potent form of vitamin C which is beneficial to our skin. The problem with including it in skin serums is that it is extremely unstable, especially when exposed to light. What this means is that it is rendered useless when added this way. Another issue with including L-ascorbic acid in this Anti-Aging Cream is that the pH is lowered to 3.3 - 3.5 and because the normal pH of skin is higher than this, skin irritation and redness can occur.

Because we are impressed with the Drunk Elephant brand, we decided to give this product and chance and review it carefully. Read on to see what we found.

	June Jacobs Age Defying Copper Serum

June Jacobs Age Defying Copper Serum

What Do We Like?
  • Contains 9 active ingredients.
  • Many contain 1 patented ingredient.
  • Contains all-natural ingredients.
  • Paraben and preservative free.
  • Returns accepted within 30 days of purchase.
The Downside
  • No mention of percentage of active ingredients.
  • Expensive.
Introduction

As we age, fine lines and wrinkles create deeper grooves in our facial skin. The daily moisturizer that has been working well in our 20s and 30s doesn’t have the same influence anymore. This is when most people add an Anti-Aging Cream into their beauty regimen. A fine layer of a potent cream will boost the production of key proteins, such as collagen, in order to treat and rejuvenate aging skin. More than simply locking in hydration, an Anti-Aging Cream must be composed of active ingredients which are proven to rebuild skin cells.

We were excited to review June Jacobs Age Defying Copper Serum because their patented tag of ‘cutting-edge science married with nature’ implies everything we are looking for in an Anti-Aging Cream. It is true that this product is made with all-natural ingredients as it is essential not to include parabens, preservatives or anything that can compromise facial skin. However, we were left puzzled as to where the ‘cutting-edge science’ came in. There is one mention of ‘patented antioxidant blend of white, red and green tea extracts‘ but no actual patented ingredient was listed. Usually patented ingredients will be linked to scientific research, but there is nothing available on the June Jacobs website about this.

Learn more about this Anti-Aging Cream in our in-depth review below to find out why it made it into our #3 spot on this list.

	SkinCeuticals Face Cream

SkinCeuticals Face Cream

What Do We Like?
  • Contains 3 active ingredients.
  • Formulated for dry, aging skin.
  • 30-day return policy.
The Downside
  • Expensive.
  • No clinical studies available on their website.
  • No mention of being paraben free.
Introduction

SkinCeuticals has a very clever name which implies a more scientific take than the average skincare brand. We were particularly interested to review this face cream because Anti-Aging Creams, specifically, need clinically backed ingredients in order to effectively promote more youthful skin. Formulas for Anti-Aging Creams are usually thin and light so that their active ingredients can penetrate deeply into the dermal layers of the skin.

Upon investigation, we came across some surprising facts about SkinCeuticals Face Cream. First is that there is no inclusion of patented ingredients. Patented ingredients are the ones based on proven clinical studies and would be expected in a brand which advertises that they are ‘backed by science’. Secondly, while we like the look and flow of this website, it is somewhat misleading. There is a heading called ‘Science & Proof’ which does not offer any proof, just a scientific claim. Also, there are many links throughout the website which encourage the user to click in order to learn more, but it doesn’t lead to any clinical proof. Is this meant to discourage the user from finding out more?

The key active ingredients which are listed are natural as well as in the realm of what we look for in a Anti-Aging Cream. However, we could not wholeheartedly recommend this product due to the extremely high price as well as the very slim return period that consumers are given. As such, SkinCeuticals Face Cream is firmly in our #4 spot for top Anti-Aging Creams.

		No7 Lift & Luminate TRIPLE ACTION Serum

No7 Lift & Luminate TRIPLE ACTION Serum

What Do We Like?
  • Contains 1 patented key ingredient.
  • Does not contain animal products.
  • Strong reputation since 1935.
  • Fairly priced.
The Downside
  • Contains a fragrance as well as parabens.
  • High amount of inactive ingredients.
  • Does not contain a guarantee.
Introduction

In our search for the top day serums, we uncovered both new and older brands in order to find the best formula at the best price. What we found is that the ingredients make a tremendous difference because serums are so lightweight and penetrate so deeply into the skin. We balanced the reputation of each skincare brand along with the efficacy of each formula in order to select day serums that can be trusted to do what they say they do.

When we delved into No7 Lift & Luminate TRIPLEACTION Serum we immediately liked that this company has been around for decades. Since 1935, No7's aim has been to give every woman the tools she needs to look and feel her best. It started off as a UK brand and over the years has been sold all over the world. It’s a brand many of us grew up with and inherently trust. Additionally, this serum contains Matrixyl, which is known as an effective anti-aging ingredient in skincare.

The downside is that because this company has been around for so long, its products have not really evolved with the times. For example, there are parabens and fragrances in their formulas. With recent studies showing the potential danger of parabens, this was shocking to see. The addition of the fragrance, while not necessarily dangerous, could lead to adverse reactions such as skin irritations. Furthermore, many skincare brands will have 2 types of serums - one for daytime use and one for nighttime use (for a deeper repair). No7 has this one serum to be used at both times.

We took all of the above into account when writing this review. Continue to read to decide for yourself whether or not this is the serum for you.
