(San Diego) If you're over 40, you've probably noticed it. The creams that used to work don't do anything anymore. The serums your friends swear by? Nothing. The wrinkles keep getting deeper. The sagging keeps getting worse. And at some point you start wondering: does ANYTHING actually work, or has this industry just been taking your money?
Here's what most brands won't tell you: aging skin CAN still respond. The firmness CAN come back. But only if the product actually reaches where the damage is happening. Most don't. They sit on the surface and do nothing. (Why that is would fill a whole other article.)
When I started noticing it in my own skin at 48, I realized most of what I'd been recommending to patients wasn't working anymore either. That's when I got serious. My team and I did something that had never been done before: we put the top skincare brands through independent testing. Real women. Real skin. Months of follow-up. No sponsorships. No brand partnerships. Just results.
The #1 brand wasn't even on my radar. But when we saw what it did to aging skin, I finally understood why women are calling it the first thing that's actually worked.
5. Pond's
Pond's has existed since the mid-1800s and possesses an extensive wealth of experience in the skincare industry. However, the company has been hesitant to embrace recent advances in skincare science and integrate them into their formulations. Their product range, though extensive, lacks the advanced effectiveness found in many competing brands.
4. Cerave
Cerave is well-known for their lotions and other skincare products. However, their products only focus on moisturizing skin, rather than deep, long-lasting hydration of the skin cells.
3. Olay
Olay's full selection of beauty and skincare products is impressive. However, it is often found to be pricey and many people think their skincare solutions involve too many steps and different products.
2. Neutrogena
Neutrogena is another common brand in the skincare market. However, in recent years the brand has faced criticism because of misleading advertising and potentially dangerous ingredients being used in their products.

Carolyn Wilson
Took about 2 1/2 weeks for me, but the part I love the most is not having to put on makeup everytime I have to run to the grocery store : )
George McCallister
Does this work and what are your results? Looking for a gift for my wife...
Sarah Whitaker
George McCallister I've only been using it for about a week and my skin is so much clearer
Panina Salam Devota
George McCallister It does. My skin feels so much smoother than before (I used Ponds and washed my face with water before)
Brianne Marie
I wish I'd taken a before picture of my skin, but I need to say it absolutely WORKS. I've recommended it to my mother-in-law and her skin looks amazing now. If you're undecided, just try it once - you definitely won't regret it.
