2. Best for Visible Sagging and Crepey Skin: SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced Cream

  • What we love: Hydrates for hours; rich texture; pairs well with complementary skin care products
  • What could improve: Leaves skin a bit tacky

SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter is a rich cream designed to improve firmness and combat loose skin in mature skin. Its blend of peptides, proxylane, and blueberry extract hydrates deeply, smooths texture, and supports a lifted, tighter-looking appearance — especially when paired with the brand’s A.G.E. serum. “This one is different from the rest because it targets glycation,” says Dr. Kelly Tufman. “This is the stiffening of collagen fibres thanks to sugar exposure and a cause of skin sagging that most creams ignore.” Testers loved its thick, creamy texture, comparing it to a poreless primer. Applied on its own, it can feel slightly tacky, but that disappears under makeup.

What our tester says: “Used with the A.G.E. serum, my skin still felt hydrated and plump three hours later,” says Glamour tester Helen Bonzulak. Over time, she noticed her skin looked not only brighter and more radiant, but firmer and lifted in areas prone to sagging, like the jaw line. It can also help improve the appearance of crepey skin on the often overlooked décolleté.

3. Best For Hydration and Plumping: Skinfix Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream

  • What we love: Suitable for all skin types; fragrance-free; noncomedogenic
  • What could improve: Scent may be a bit strong

Rich, soothing, and packed with peptides, this cream helps stimulate collagen for a firmer, plumper look. Its hydrating formula also delivers plenty of lipids to replenish your moisture barrier. While it’s suitable for all skin types, Dr. Saedi recommends the product especially for those with dry or sensitive skin, since it offers noticeable bounce and firmness without the irritation of a retinoid.

What our tester says: “I’ve gone through multiple bottles of this rich face cream from Skinfix. It hydrates without feeling greasy on my oily, combination skin and has been great at hydrating and soothing my skin barrier. I use it to target my face and neck, and have noticed my skin retaining more moisture,” says Glamour senior commerce editor Jenifer Calle.


4. Best for a Makeup-Ready Finish: InnBeauty Project Extreme Cream

  • What we love: Big bottle; a little goes a long way; not too greasy for oily skin; fragrance-free
  • What could improve: Takes a bit of time to absorb

This creamy moisturiser combines peptides, retinol, and ceramides to hydrate deeply while firming and smoothing skin. Its lightweight texture delivers a glowing finish that targets dryness without feeling heavy, making it ideal for areas prone to rough patches and even flakiness.

What our tester says: “I tend to have dry patches around my eyebrow area and sometimes on my cheeks, and this cream works wonders to smooth them out and give me a subtle glow,” says Alanna Martine Kilkeary. “While I also do have oily spots (particularly on my T-zone and around my nose), I find that this gives me just the right amount of hydration in those areas without making them look greasy. This cream is fragrance-free as well, and my skin simply drinks it up, even on days when it’s feeling extra sensitive or irritated. Overall, a 10/10 in my book!”


5. Best Eye Cream: Biossance Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream
