Dara Spearman, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Fort Wayne, Indiana, couldn’t agree more and, in fact, uses this cleanser herself. “It is a great product for mature skin because it is very gentle and helps maintain the skin’s moisture barrier instead of stripping it, as skin naturally becomes drier and more sensitive with age,” she says. Dr. Queller often recommends it to patients, too: “A gentle cleanser with ceramides and hyaluronic acid helps maintain hydration while supporting the skin barrier,” she says.
Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash
If you’ve ever thought that Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash is highly underrated, just know that dermatologists agree. “Many body washes strip lipids and worsen dryness, especially in older patients,” Dr. Badreshia-Bansal says of the six-time Readers’ Choice Award winner. “This formula helps maintain hydration and leaves the skin more comfortable after showering, which is important because mature skin loses moisture more rapidly.”

“As lips age, they become drier and thinner, so rich, hydrating lip products, like this lip mask, are great for mature lips,” says Sejal Shah, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City who uses the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask personally, as does Dr. Queller, who recommends applying a generous layer before bed. Dr. Reszko is also a fan of this balm, which comes in over a dozen fun flavors (Berry, Strawberry Shortcake, and Peach Iced Tea, to name a few). “This mask uses hyaluronic acid and antioxidants (vitamin C and pomegranate juice) overnight when skin is in repair mode, and consistent use over several weeks makes a genuinely noticeable difference,” she says.

Sure, Drunk Elephant became the most coveted skin care among tweens, but lest we forget, many of its products are formulated to deliver some serious benefits for more mature skin. A little goes a long way with Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream, according to Dr. Spearman, who recommends applying a small amount after any serums you may use. “It’s a great product for mature skin because it delivers deep, barrier-supporting hydration, which helps address common age-related concerns like dryness, loss of elasticity, and a weakened skin barrier,” she says, giving a shout-out to its three types of ceramides.

“Body skin is so often left out of the [mature skin] conversation, but it thins and dries just like facial skin does,” says Dr. Reszko, who recommends using the incredibly moisturizing Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub once or twice a week. “The shea butter here is genuinely emollient, and the physical exfoliation helps with the rough, crepe-like texture many people start noticing on their arms and legs with age.”

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer seems to be as popular among dermatologists as it is among Allure readers. Dr. Badreshia-Bansal says she recommends it frequently because it combines ceramides, niacinamide, and glycerin in a way that strengthens the skin barrier without feeling heavy. “I especially like it layered over retinoids at night to minimize irritation,” she says, while Dr. Shah says she personally uses it because the lightweight texture absorbs quickly, resulting in softness without greasy residue. Dr. Queller also uses and recommends it because mature skin is often drier and more sensitive, she says, and its ingredients address those concerns without feeling heavy.

“Sun exposure is the single biggest driver of visible aging, and by midlife, most of us are dealing with decades of accumulated UV damage,” says Dr. Reszko. “I love this mineral lotion because it provides broad-spectrum protection without the concerns sometimes associated with chemical filters, and its texture layers well under makeup.” She recommends applying a quarter-sized amount of Supergoop Play Mineral Lotion SPF 30 to your face and neck—never forget the neck!—every morning as the last step in your routine, and then reapply it every two hours if you’re outside for extended periods.

Dr. Queller appreciates how accessible and straightforward The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (with Ceramides) is, not to mention how well it layers with other skin-care products. “Hyaluronic acid is a great addition to a mature skin-care routine because it helps attract and retain moisture, giving skin a plumper, more hydrated appearance,” she says.
