Plenty of skin-care products on the market tout themselves as anti-aging, but very few deliver on that promise. In search of products that actually work to soften fine lines, brighten under-eyes circles, smooth texture, and more, our beauty experts enlisted a panel of 40- to 84-year-old testers.
A month of swiping, slathering, patting, and dabbing later … they landed on their favorite retinoids, eye creams, serums, moisturizers, and cleansers — all of which improve appearance or boost resiliency of skin.

But it’s not completely pointless.
