Video TranscriptANNA DE SOUZA: I've been covering beauty for a long time, so I've picked up tons of expert tips along the way. But let's be real, I'm also a mom on a budget. So if I'm putting in the cash, it better work. Here are five anti-aging products you definitely need in your bathroom cabinet.

Don't fall for trendy ingredients that won't actually impact the skin. I'm looking at you 24 Karat Gold. If there's one product I swear by it's vitamin C. This serum also includes hyaluronic acid and vitamin E for hydration as the vitamin C gets to work breaking down hyperpigmentation from dark spots and blemishes.
This affordable drugstore pick is one of my go-tos. Retinol is the gold standard for anti-aging. And I love that I don't need to head to the dermatologist for a prescription. This eye cream targets puffiness, dark circles, and wrinkles all in one. Getting a true retinol product for under $20 compared to some that top $150 is truly amazing.
I love a rose quartz roller for those times you need to wind down, even if it's just for five minutes. Not only is it beautiful to look at, it actually targets puffiness, under eye bags, and improves the appearance of pores. Use it with or without your favorite serum. And pro tip, pop it in the fridge a few minutes before using for the ultimate pampering experience.
This all-in-one anti-aging treatment has over 10,000 positive reviews, and it's under $15. It's a tinted moisturizer with retinol and SPF to treat and protect skin all day. The blendable sheer coverage gives you a gorgeous glow, as the ingredients get to work targeting discoloration and texture.
Nothing makes you look younger quite like a sun-kissed glow. That's why sunless tanners have become a big part of my skincare routine. I love this Jergens lotion. You can apply straight out of the shower onto wet skin, and it won't stain. So you can say goodbye to orange-tinged clothing. It's gradual, so you can achieve the shade you want. And it contains elastin, collagen, and ginseng to tighten and smooth
