    While both contain ingredients that are purported to be effective anti-aging agents (peptides) neither has ingredients that have been proven to work (other than the sunscreen.) 

    The second product appears the best given that it has sunscreen and more effective moisturizing agents (dimethicone.)

    Shawn I will agree with Randy. Choose the one with the sunscreen (is it Clinique Even Better SPF 20?).

    This last one seems more like an absorbent gel rather than a moisturizer, so if she has dry skin she probably won’t like it. It seems to have high concentrations of anti-oxidants, which may or may not make any real difference, but it’s worth a try if she has oily skin and needs something absorbent. However, she would still need a sunscreen.

    Thanks all :) Brainybimbo it was not Clinique, forget what brand it was now. She is just really wanting to find a product that will help with fine lines she has like crows feet etc. She like so many of us get confused as to what she can or should use other than sunscreen of course.

    If crow’s feet are the area of concern she also has to make sure the product is safe around the eye area.

    No matter what product it is, tell her not to expect any quick miracles. Even the most effective products on the market only make a small difference with continued use.
