9 Best Wrinkle Fillers That Help Reverse the Look of Fine Lines and Crepey Skin

First, a reality check as we wade into this wrinkly topic: For the majority of us, a serum or cream simply can’t accomplish the same wrinkle-disappearing act that Botox or a filler like Juvéderm or Restylane can. But topicals can help soften wrinkles over time and can even blur and tighten fine lines for a few hours.

Dermal injectables, used by a trained provider, are "designed to limit movement or fill in wrinkles and plump the skin," says board-certified plastic surgeon Julius Few. But they do come with drawbacks: needles, unlikely but possible risks (including asymmetrical results), and hefty price tags. If any of those hit a nerve for you, then you may want to look into skincare options. "These topical products aim to emulate the effects of an injectable," says David Shafer, board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of Shafer Clinic.

What is a wrinkle filler?

Wrinkle fillers are topical products such as serums or creams that help plump the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, says Shafer. Unlike injectables, most of these formulas work gradually to smooth the look of skin and restore volume, though some offer a temporary smoothing effect.

Dr. Brandt Skincare Needles No More Wrinkle Smoothing Cream

The name says it all. This smoothing formula is loaded with wrinkle-filling ingredients, including neuropeptides to relax facial muscles; magnesium and adenosine, which soften the look of expression lines over time; and lactic and glycolic acids to gently exfoliate the skin and help with stimulating collagen renewal. Use it every morning and night on any areas of concern (read: forehead, crow's-feet, or frown lines) before following up with your go-to serums and moisturizer.
