As time marches on, it's completely natural to lose collagen and laxity in the skin. Sagging skin is more difficult to address than wrinkles and fine lines, which a little Botox can temporarily wipe from existence. And, while there are more creams on the market that can help fade hyperpigmentation, it doesn't mean sagging skin is a lost cause.
These three cheap skincare products help rebuild collagen in the skin and can make your complexion appear tighter and more luminous. The best part: they won't require you to fork over your entire paycheck.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Facial Moisturizer With SPF 30
One of the most important ways to prevent the destructon of collagen and elastin in the skin is by wearing sunscreen, each day, to combat the effects of UV rays. Aveeno Daily Moisturizer contains SPF 30, but it also boasts natural light diffusers that brighen your skin and even out skin tone and texture. The oil-free formula is perfect for all skin types (Ulta, $16.99).
Garnier Skin Active Ultra-Life Anti-Wrinkle Firming Night Cream
With pro-retinol and rice peptides, this night cream doesn't just provide deep hydration (though it does that well), it fills in fine lines and gives your face a more sculptured, lifted look over time. A little product goes a long way in this case, but the cream is described as lightweight and never greasy (Walmart, $12).
RoC Retinol Correxion Sensitive Night Cream
Designed for anyone whose skin reacts poorly to retinol, this night cream by RoC provides a milder strength retinol to target wrinkles and lift skin, as well as hyaluronic acid, which traps in moisture for a softer, smoother complexion. The oil-free and noncomedogenic formula is said to provide results in as little as 8 weeks (Ulta, $22.99).
