We’re always looking for celebrity anti-ageing secrets, and we’ve found out that Pond’s is ageless celebrity Kylie Minogue’s go-to brand when looking for the best anti-ageing day cream.
We think that the best budget anti-wrinkle cream is Pond’s Age Miracle Cell ReGen Day Cream, R189,95 for 50ml, so it got our vote for “Best-Value Anti-Ager”. This anti-ageing cream is also best for dry skin.

It’s also the best tinted sunscreen, offering you light coverage if you don’t feel like wearing make-up at the pool or on the beach. Designed for everyday use, this sunscreen will offer you the protection from the sun as well as from environmental pollutants while you’re out and about daily.
Ideal for sensitive and normal skin, makeup artist Storm Catherine Pass says it’s a “long-lasting sunscreen and pollution barrier; a fantastic combo!”
The best luxury anti-ageing cream
If you’re looking to make a real investment in your skin, look no further than Clarins Super Restorative Rose Radiance Cream, R1 525. This anti-ageing cream is also great for dry skin and it’s designed to add radiance back to dull skin thanks to a host of natural plant extracts.
This soothing cream is one of our favourites because it really does significantly improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles thanks to its powerful regenerative ingredients. Beauty blogger, Chereen Strydom has this to say about it: “A rich, nourishing texture that leaves a luminescent glow.”
