10 anti-aging skin care products that get high ratings on Amazon

With so many choices out there, it can be difficult to find anti-aging skin care products that live up to their promises to erase wrinkles, age spots, and fine lines -- without breaking the bank.

We've rounded up 10 highly rated anti-aging skin care products you can buy on Amazon right now.

But first, let's talk about a few key ingredients found in many of these lotions and potions, to help determine which ones are best for you.

Ingredients to Know

Vitamin C: This antioxidant is a powerhouse in the world of anti-aging. It is said to be highly effective in promoting collagen production, and users tout its ability to brighten their complexions, even out skin tone and texture, and eliminate dark spots.

Retinol: Retinol is a type of vitamin A marketed for anti-aging products because of its ability to speed up cell turnover. Many users report smoother, younger-looking skin after regular use. Because retinol causes you to shed skin cells faster, your skin may feel a little dry and flaky at first. In fact, many dermatologists recommend that you use it just a few nights a week before making it a regular part of your skin care routine.

Hyaluronic Acid: Ah, the holy grail of moisturizing! Hyaluronic acid is a magnet for moisture, with the ability to retain over 1,000 times its weight in water -- how about that for beating the winter dryness? Hydrated skin decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and hyaluronic acid is a great way to counteract the possible drying effects of vitamin C and retinoids.

Glycolic Acid: This acid belongs to the alpha-hydroxy family and is known best for its ability to stimulate collagen growth. Many users report that glycolic acid clears up their acne, brightens their skin and reduces the appearance of brown spots.

Of course, everyone's skin is different, and there is no such thing as a miracle elixir. So don't hesitate to consult your dermatologist before trying any of these products out, especially if you have sensitive skin.

EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 ($33; amazon.com)

Before we even begin discussing products to reverse the signs of aging, we must emphasize the importance of daily sunscreen. And no, we don't just mean when you're at the beach. According the American Academy of Dermatology, even on cloudy days, up to 80% of the sun's harmful UV rays can penetrate your skin, making you vulnerable to wrinkling, spotting, and loss of elasticity (not to mention skin cancer). We particularly love this facial sunscreen by EltaMD, which is oil-free and lightweight and even acts as a great base for makeup.
