Are Expensive Antiaging Products Worth It?

POSTED: 2:11 pm EST March 30, 2004

There are plenty of pricey new creams and cleansers that promise to make you look years younger. But will they really fool Father Time?

Not necessarily. The Good Housekeeping experts say you can get results without spending a lot.

For exfoliation, use Noxzema's Daily Exfoliating Cleanser ($4.50). It contains very gentle, round microbeads that are kind to your face.

If you want to protect your skin from everyday pollution, try Olay's Total Effects Beautiful Skin & Wellness Vitamins ($14.99 for 30 packets), which contain antioxidants.

To fight aging, your best bet is still Retin-A or its over-the-counter version, retinol, which prevents the loss of collagen. If they're too strong for your skin, look for copper peptides in products like Neutrogena's Visibly Firm Night Cream ($19.99) and Neova's Night Therapy with GHK Copper Peptide Complex ($65).

To choose the best moisturizing cream, look on the labels for the words "glycerin" or "ceramides." These ingredients protect skin and help retain moisture. They can be found in both high-end and lower-priced products.
