17 Best Anti-Aging Skin Care Products

dramatically overpriced
What could possibly be in this skin-care product that warrants such an exorbitant price tag? In reality, absolutely nothing! This lavishly packaged, exceedingly ordinary formula claims to provide “ultimate complete anti-aging action,” but the only thing ultimate is the claim. Without sunscreen, this does not in any way have complete anti-aging action. Moreover, if this serum is the complete o...read moreption, then what about all of the other products Dior sells making similar claims about fighting aging? Do those not work as well because they cost less. Is L’Or De Vie the only product they sell really worth having and the others a waste of your money? If nothing else, this serum is further proof that when it comes to skin care, ultra-expensive doesn’t necessarily equal better. The big-deal ingredient in this serum is a sap extract from a type of grapevine that grows grapes on an old French vineyard. Dior asks you to believe that this special sap, which helps the vine withstand harsh conditions, can somehow extend its magical survival properties to aging skin, leading to a firmer, more luminous complexion. It sounds tempting, but despite the creative story (which, if you scratch beneath the surface is pretty hokey, and one we’ve heard before from lines like SKII among many others), skin care is never as simple as one ingredient, and it doesn’t have to come from a vineyard or any place exotic. Just like a healthy diet consists of eating a wide range of nutritious foods, your skin (the body’s largest organ) requires a range of beneficial ingredients (antioxidants, skin-repairing substances, and cell-communicating ingredients) to keep it vibrant and healthy. Beyond the ingredients tied to the French vineyard, there isn’t much else in this serum to write about; in fact, it is about as ordinary as it gets. As usual for Dior, fragrance and fragrance ingredients are present, and both are sources of irritation that keep aging skin from looking its youthful best—what pleases your nose won’t please your face. In the end, this isn’t money well spent. Even though you don’t need to spend a lot of money for a brilliantly formulated serum (which this isn’t), should you choose to do so, you can find superior options elsewhere.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 5 people said helpful
