Retinol

This topical form of Vitamin A is one of the strongest anti-wrinkle ingredients on the market -- if used appropriately. Retinol causes extreme sun sensitivity so it's important to stay out of the sun if using a retinol cream religiously. Apply the Retinol cream around frown or forehead lines to get the full effect; build up to daily use, as initial redness may occur.

Where to find it: Opt for Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream Original Formula ($14.49 at Walgreens), which has SPF 15 for extra sun protection.
