Dermagist Original Wrinkle Smoothing Cream, $99
Key ingredient: Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 (aka Matrixyl)
Besides being impossible to pronounce, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 is a powerful ingredient when it comes to stimulating collagen production. King says it will "improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles" over time. The makers of Matrixyl say it works even better when combined with other peptides, since they boost the power of each other and work on different aspects of the aging process, so you may want to use this along with a few other products on this list. less
Alright, I'm woman enough to admit it: I've got wrinkles. Am I too young to be spotting crow's feet and frown lines? Yes. Am I going to do something about them? Hell yes.
But as I picked up the phone to schedule a Botox appointment, I got distracted by this "better than false lashes" mascara on my desk. I tried it while I was on hold, and it worked. Like, it blew my mind how well it worked.
Which got me thinking: Wouldn't it be great if instead of spending $300 to get stabbed in the forehead with a needle, I could simply (and painlessly) apply a cream to my face that has the exact same "freezing" effect? After a little sleuthing and a few phone calls with the country's leading dermatologists, I found out this dream cream does exist.
Here are the 6 products that really do work just as well as Botox -- no spendy doctor's visit or conquering your needle phobia required.
