Algenist

Genius Ultimate Anti-Aging Cream

Moisturizer · 39 ingredients

A rich, replenishing moisturizer infused with Exclusive Biomimetic Collagen, nourishing algae and reparative microalgae oil that combats lines and wrinkles to visibly firm, smooth, brighten, hydrate and nourish skin.

Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare

Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Intense Wrinkle Cream

Moisturizer · 30 ingredients

A rich wrinkle cream formulated to address signs of aging, uneven texture, and loss of firmness across dry, combination, and normal skin types. Retinol, a vitamin A derivative, works to stimulate collagen production and help reverse photo-aging, while bakuchiol—a retinol-like botanical active—delivers comparable efficacy with reduced risk of visible redness or irritation. Rambutan, a gentle botanical, supports the skin's elasticity for a smoother, more resilient appearance.
