Anti-aging means different things to different people. For some, genetics, sleep and sunscreen are the secrets to eternal youth, whereas, for others, they're only just the start. If you prefer to supplement your eight hours with, dare I say, a retinol, then I would wager at least some of Sephora's anti-aging best-sellers have made their way to your wish list. Whether you're looking to firm, brighten, protect or regenerate your skin, Sephora is home to dozens of anti-aging favourites, many of which come backed by thousands of reviews. With more than 1,000 reviews each and average ratings of four stars or higher, reviewers promise these "holy grail" skincare products are worth their weight in gold, and until tonight, they're on sale.
