It may seem like celebrities never age, or that they age better than the rest of us, but don’t be fooled. They’re using the same ingredients we do to gracefully soften signs of aging. Those active ingredients, like vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, peptides and retinol, are often most effective in serum form—and adding one to your routine can be a game-changer. To see what anti-aging serums the stars are using, we’ve rounded up 15 formulas celebs and their beauty squads have historically hyped.

Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex (starting at $85)

Celebs who love it: Ana de Armas, Kendall Jenner

The dermatologist-tested serum combines the power of seven different serums in one to reduce the look of multiple signs of aging for smoother, younger, more radiant, and even-toned skin. Actress Ana de Armas likes to switch it up and use the night serum in the morning. “It’s lifting, hydrating, firming, and has a boost of collagen, plus the texture is amazing,” she explains. Supermodel Kendall Jenner says of the iconic serum, “It refreshes my skin and feels amazing after a long day.”

The brand also counts Demi Moore as a fan. Moore’s most recent jaunt to Paris Fashion Week included the same serum to help “prevent and target signs of aging” and “boost hydration and promote healthy-looking skin,” according to makeup artist Mary Wiles.

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Pro+ .5% Power Serum ($30)

Celeb who loves it: Kerry Washington

I’m just going to let Kerry Washington take it away: “I love the new serum [Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol PRO 0.5%], which is the brand’s strongest retinol, but it’s also really gentle. I’m somebody who’s had eczema my whole life, so I have to be really careful—my skin is volatile and sensitive—and this serum is really effective for dark spots and fine lines, but also gentle. If you’ve heard about retinol and you want to try it, this is the perfect product to try. Or if you already love retinol, this is great for you too. It’s really lightweight, but it has a real power punch. I think it’s important to use products at night that don’t weigh your skin down.”
