If sharp objects have you running in the opposite direction or you balk at the financial investment of in-office treatments, we have good news. Topical wrinkle filler products are pain-free, inexpensive and can help hydrate, plump and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, with level-set expectations.
The simple fact is that even the best wrinkle filler products can’t exactly mimic the muscle-freezing, skin-tightening, wrinkle-reducing science behind neurotoxins (like Botox Cosmetic, for example). Still, topical wrinkle fillers can come pretty close to the real thing by smoothing skin texture for a more youthful glow—no needle required—while adding other skin-care benefits, like increased collagen production. Conversely, if you’re the person who never skips an in-office appointment, topical wrinkle fillers can work in tandem with injectables to help maximize your results, thereby expanding the window between appointment times.
Below, we’re sharing the topical wrinkle-filling products shoppers are swearing by right now, from drugstore standbys to luxe upgrades.

“The combination of retinol and hyaluronic acid in this moisturizer is like a one-two punch against fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots. After just a few weeks of consistent use, I noticed a significant improvement in the overall texture and appearance of my skin. My fine lines appear diminished, my skin feels firmer and those pesky dark spots are noticeably lighter.”
