We might live in a society that prizes youth but there’s something to be said for aging gracefully. So when it comes to skin care, we’re always on the hunt for anti-aging products that promise a brighter, firmer look that is moisturized with a youthful glow. Of course, if you ever browse the myriad of products in this category you quickly realize you could easily spend a small fortune.
So now that the Walmart Holiday Deals and Amazon Prime Day shopping extravaganzas are here, we can get down to business on restocking our beauty bag without breaking the bank. Each of these products comes recommended by our beauty editor or panel of dermatologists, plus they are highly rated by customers who share their rave reviews and 5-star ratings. These products are all easy to add to a simple daily routine and don’t require tons of extra time in front of the mirror. Plus, even when they’re not on sale, they’re not too expensive. That said, we can’t pass up the opportunity to restock our beauty bag when the prices are this good.
Our experts agree that you’ll want to start your beauty routine by choosing face wash and cleansers that are gentle and not too drying, so the hyaluronic acid and ceramides, present in CeraVe’s Hydrating Facial Cleanser, are the key ingredients for achieving hydrated, plump skin in your 60s.
If your skin feels tight after cleansing, then your face wash is likely too aggressive and might be stripping too many of your skin’s precious oils. Consider cleansing your face only at night if your skin feels too dry in the morning for a second cleanse.
After washing your face with a gentle cleanser, micellar water can be used to clear away any residual dirt, oil and makeup without harsh scrubbing that can irritate sensitive, aging skin. This Garnier option is made without oils, alcohol and fragrances, so your skin feels cleansed without being overly dry. Use it both in the morning and at night — no need to rinse.
When reaching for a moisturizer after cleansing, you might’ve noticed that many anti-aging moisturizers are thick and creamy. This Olay Regeneris version will lock in more moisture than lighter creams.
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.
The skin around your eyes is prone to wrinkles and super delicate. This cream promises to gently brighten the area and reduce puffiness for a youthful look.

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.
This Retinol cream promises proven results for those looking to reduce pores and fine lines.
