I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Shopping for skincare products is no easy feat. Sure, the task of finding the perfect serum, cleanser, retinol, or night cream might not sound all that daunting, but once you're faced with the thousands (yes, thousands) of skincare lines on the market and the seemingly infinite number of products within each line, the idea feels equivalent to cleaning a ninth-floor apartment bathroom in 90-degree heat. (AKA incredibly overwhelming.) When shopping for skincare products, there are so many things that need to be considered: skin type, skin tone, skin concerns, skin goals, budget, and even time constraints.

Products geared toward anti-aging, in particular, have reached fever-pitch demand, especially in a year like 2020 when in-office treatments and procedures have, for the most part, been made impossible. Since the at-home protocol is the name of the game right now, I reached out to four amazing skin experts who could provide professional insight into the best skincare lines for anti-aging.

Below, I asked each expert to share their favorite brands for achieving youthful-looking skin and the products they recommend from each. Keep scrolling!

Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content forBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie andBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
