Here are the week’s top deals

There are loads of pricey treatments and potions meant to decrease facial puffiness, promote collagen growth and improve the texture of aging skin, but the ancient art of face rolling is the easiest, least expensive and arguably the most relaxing. 

This high-quality jade roller and face massager tool set has almost 26,000 five-star reviews and, right now, it’s over half off!

Incredible deal alert! These gilded, Jessica Alba-approved eye masks incorporate hyaluronic acid, amino acids and sea moss to hydrate the delicate under-eye area, reducing dark circles and puffy bags and blurring fine lines as they go — and right now they’re over 60% off!

They’re also paraben- and sulfate-free, vegan and gentle enough for most skin types. The luxe packaging makes them an excellent gift. 

While not a wrinkle cream per se, this beloved snail mucin from CosRx is excellent for evening skin tone and making your face look softer and brighter overall. It’s also won multiple awards, has almost 70,000 five-star reviews on Amazon and has impressed most every beauty editor I know.

After using it the first time (here’s my full review), my face was noticeably dewier, and other users have boasted about its ability to soothe, hydrate, repair and improve dull skin — all of which helps wrinkles look less deep and crepey. 

Yes, CosRx has helped popularize snail mucin as a skin-care ingredient, but you shouldn’t sleep on its other products. Case in point: the Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Cream. A favorite among the K-beauty crowd, this face cream packs and seals moisture into dry, dehydrated skin to prevent further hydration loss. I love this moisturizer for its lightweight, fast-absorbing formula and antioxidant ingredients. The texture is perfectly rich without being too heavy, and the product itself absorbs fast, all of which is why we named it one of the best anti-aging products of the year. 

Bonus points: In addition to hyaluronic acid, this cream contains vitamin tree water (also known as sea buckthorn), which is filled with vitamins, amino acids and fatty acids that help strengthen the skin barrier and increase hydration even more. The midrange price point is the cherry on top.

I love Garnier’s micellar water in general, but I especially love this iteration, which is perfect for aging faces. The no-rinse face cleanser works like a magnet to lift dirt and grime off your face while still conditioning and being extra gentle. 

This version also removes waterproof makeup without dragging or damaging your delicate under-eye skin (and, potentially, causing more wrinkles). Stock up now while you can with this truly good deal on two ample 13.5-ounce bottles.  

Exfoliants are essential for turning over dead skin cells and promoting skin health and collagen production no matter your age. However, they’re particularly important in your 40s, 50s and beyond to keep your face from looking dull and tired. 

This Bliss serum is an excellent entry point — it’s gentle yet effective and good for all but the most sensitive skin types. It smells good too. 

If you’re new to the retinol game or have dry skin, CeraVe’s formula is an excellent place to start. It contains just a .3% concentration, which means it will be gentler and less drying than higher-potency products. 

It’s also filled with skin-calming agents like niacinamide and moisturizing hyaluronic acid. Best of all, it’s inexpensive enough to try without the guilt of making a major skin-care investment. 

At first glance you might think: Why in the world would I need a silk pillowcase? Am I an empress? Are we in Hollywood in 1934? Should I start sleeping with a face of cold cream and calling people dah-ling? Do I need a silk robe and high-heeled slippers too? 

But then you learn the facts: Silk pillowcases support skin health. Research shows they prevent some fine lines and deeper wrinkles and — if you’re worried about thinning hair — they’ll help with shedding and breakage and can keep your hair from frizzing overnight. 

If you’re looking for a low-cost retinol eye cream to help with crow’s feet and dark circles, this is for you. The wrinkle-smoothing lotion also reduces puffiness while being gentle enough for sensitive skin.

It’s among the most highly-rated eye creams, with more than 19,000 five-star Amazon reviews. It’s dermatologist-recommended too. Give this effective cream a try while it’s nearly 35% off.

Laneige is perhaps most known for its bestselling Lip Sleeping Mask, also a celebrity favorite. But the brand is equally excellent at creating high-quality, extra-hydrating, anti-aging skin care. Take Water Bank. It’s a little-known hyaluronic acid-, squalane- and ceramide-packed face cream that I found to be nourishing, moisturizing and one of the best products I’ve ever tried to make dull, flat-looking skin glow instantly.

If you’re in the market for a rich, textured, but not-too-heavy face cream to ward off scaliness and wear under makeup, snatch this up now while it’s 45% off. 

My basic philosophy with neck creams is the same as with life: There’s no such thing as a cure-all, but good habits help. SimplyVital’s beloved collagen, retinol and hyaluronic acid treatment has gone viral on TikTok several times and has passionate fans across the internet, including nearly 8,000 five-star Amazon reviews.

While no cream will physically lift sagging skin, with consistent use, this one will most likely improve the texture of your neck, reduce the appearance of fine lines and make the area less crepey and old-looking overall. It’s made with 3% medical-grade retinol, which is respectably potent but gentle enough for beginners. It’s also scent-free and comes in an ample size with a no-mess pump. I’d say it’s worth a try if you’re not loving your neck right now — particularly at over 40% off. 

When 86-year-old beauty Jane Fonda recommends a product, I pay attention: The actress recently revealed she uses this serum every night on a clean face: “It has a lot of antioxidants and good things to hydrate the skin.”

The rich formula is paraben- and mineral oil-free, dermatologist-tested and suitable for all skin types. Plus, right now, it’s over 35% off. 

Ask any dermatologist for the most important step in an anti-aging skin care routine, and they’ll undoubtedly say high-quality sun protection. And this version by EltaMD is truly among the best.  

Of all the sunscreens I’ve tested, this is the most consistently top-rated, especially by doctors who recommend a tinted mineral sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum physical coverage and hydration — and gives your skin an even tone in the process. It’s also made with natural ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, and it leaves a smooth finish, even on dry or sensitive skin. 

There’s a reason I named this Peter Thomas Roth formula the best retinol serum of the year: At 1.5% retinal concentration, it’s just potent enough to really work on reducing wrinkles and fine lines, while not so strong that your face will start molting within the first week. Plus, it contains eight-hour slow-release micro-encapsulated retinol, which tends to be less irritating, and it’s packed with brighteners like vitamin C and soothing emollients such as vitamin E and squalane to keep your face hydrated and reduce redness.

The texture here is particularly standout: It’s silky and smooth, as opposed to tacky and viscous. When I used this product last year for three months, I saw an almost immediate skin-tightening effect. Over the weeks, there was more clarity in my skin tone and the lines in my forehead appeared less deep. 

It’s difficult to choose a retinol serum that will work best for all skin types, but with its high-quality ingredients and thoughtful formulation, this one comes closest to being a one-size-fits-most skin-care star.

We know retinol works to reduce wrinkles, but this Swedish brand’s Dark Spot Fix does double duty: It’s a skin-lightening treatment containing retinol 8, a stabilized vitamin A complex meant to be eight times more effective than conventional retinol but half as harsh. There’s no data to support the company’s claim here, but I can tell you this from experience: The formula is creamy and gentle, and it lightened a stubborn brown spot on my cheek I’d been annoyed by for years in just three weeks. 

Though no results will be as effective as a visit to the dermatologist, if you’re dealing with mild hyperpigmentation, this is an at-home skin-care win — especially at this price.

If I had to pick one desert-island beauty product (outside of sunscreen), it would have to be Sunday Riley’s Good Genes. The lactic-acid treatment gently and effectively exfoliates dull surface skin, promoting cell turnover and giving even the dreariest skin a healthy, vibrant glow.

It also smooths and plumps rough skin and clarifies an uneven tone. My skin never looks better than when I use this every night and, while this sale price still isn’t cheap, a little goes a long way — I’ve had mine for months.
