A good moisturizer is a little like a great night’s sleep: it hits just right and makes your skin look more radiant and glowing. And while some moisturizers can contain ingredients like retinol to boost collagen and help make more significant changes to the texture of your skin, those types of ingredients are best in serum format so that you can benefit from a more potent and productive dosage of effective ingredients.
When it comes to finding a great moisturizer for mature skin, look for one with intensely hydrating benefits that has plenty of rave reviews to back it up. A moisturizer can’t solve all of your problems, but it can minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles and prevent future issues. Here are 10 we love for mature skin.
