We asked beauty expert J. Nicole Baca for advice on the best skincare treatments on the market

In the Hot Seat: Celebrity beauty expert Nicole Baca

It’s not easy to choose the right skin creams! There are so many new products on the market, beckoning us to buy them. With fancy campaigns and big budgets, who knows which ones are the best?

While we like to think we actually get better with age, we totally understand that there might be some pesky skin changes you want to address as the years pass. It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly when to start incorporating anti-aging products into your routine, so we chatted with one of our favorite celebrity experts,  Jamie Nicole Baca, who created ‘Overdose’ to get the scoop on the best approach to wrinkle creams. 

Not only is Baca an award-winning — leading independent skincare specialist in the U.S, who produced the top-selling serum — ‘Overdose,’ but she is also a well-known advisor and specialist in elite Hollywood circles, and in today’s current market, that means everything! 

While different age groups require different routines, the best “anti-aging” product is sunblock, which Baca recommends be applied to the face daily as young as possible! “In individuals with dry skin, a daily moisturizer, serum, and eye cream should be started in the early 20s,” says Baca.

“If the individual has oily skin, traditional anti-aging products can start in their 30s, but most likely they will be using a retinol product to combat acne breakouts, so they are already using preventative measures.” 

When comparing products, opt for ones with “retinol, hyaluronic acid, plant-based stem cells, resveratrol, and glycolic acid. Exfoliation is essential!” Baca says. 

Armed with that info, we set out to research and find the right anti-aging creams that fight wrinkles. Our list (of course) includes J.Nicole’s ‘Overdose.’
