La Roche-Posay Retinol B3 Serum
This retinol serum may feel ultra-light on the skin, but it digs deep to smooth uneven texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and fade hyperpigmentation. The formula is oil-free, non-greasy, and gentle enough to use on sensitive skin. Glycerin (to moisturize), sodium hyaluronate (a form of hyaluronic acid), and niacinamide (to soothe) offer a refreshing and hydrating boost.
PCA SKIN Intensive Age Refining Treatment
Winner for best wrinkle treatment in our 2020 Healthy Beauty Awards, this pick gets a stamp of approval from Mona Gohara, M.D., assistant clinical professor at Yale School of Medicine and co-creator of MELĒ skincare. “When it comes to retinol, I don’t compromise. I like to have the science (knowing it’s been tested to build collagen), the right percentage (at least 0.5%), and the ability to use it regularly without irritation,” she says. “When I find a product that has all those things, I stick with it.”
