So many anti-aging products exist that it can be wrinkle-inducing to know where to start. Thankfully, just about anyone can benefit from a wrinkle cream, as they’re daily moisturizers that also target the skin’s signs of aging. The More You Know Wrinkle creams have active ingredients (i.e., retinol, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and peptides) that increase cell turnover, collagen production, and hydration — all natural systems that slow down over time, explains board-certified dermatologist Dr. Lauren Penzi, MD. With time and consistent use, results can look like minimized fine lines, smoother texture, and firmer, plumper, softer skin. However, not all wrinkle…

The United States has seen a surge in COVID-19 cases this summer, as evidenced by wastewater measurements and a surge in hospitalizations. After President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19 along with many other Americans, experts say it’s important to get booster shots and keep an eye out for symptoms. Although the virus has subsided over time, and hospitalization and death rates have dropped significantly thanks to vaccines and people’s acquired immunity, each wave still causes disruption and needs to be addressed appropriately. Elderly people and those with comorbidities still need to take extra precautions against SARS-CoV-2, as these vulnerable…

In our eight years of testing beauty products, we’ve come to the conclusion that some super-expensive skin care products are actually worth the splurge.

For example, Azure Hyaluronic and Retinol Anti Aging Day Cream is just $10 on Amazon, and it contains some of the same powerful plumping and smoothing ingredients found in much more expensive products. In fact, many shoppers swear that the formula is just as effective, if not more so, than any of the more expensive creams they’ve tried. Azure Hyaluronic Acid…
