For skin over 40, the name of the skin game is hydration, hydration, hydration. “As we age, our skin naturally becomes thinner and more sensitive due to reduced collagen production, decreased lipid content and an overall weakening of the skin’s barrier function. This makes mature skin more prone to irritation, dryness and inflammation,” New York dermatologist Julie Russak, MD previously explained to NewBeauty. “For mature skin—especially asestrogen levels decline—maintaining hydration, restoring lost lipids and stimulating collagen production become paramount.”

When it comes to skin care, choosing a rich, nourishing moisturizer is the easiest adaption to make as aging skin gains texture and leans toward the drier side—but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your favorite multitasking face formulas. If you want your skin care to play double duty and blur texture, provide coverage without enhancing wrinkles and leave skin with a healthy glow, a hydrating tinted moisturizer is the key to a flawless face.

Where to start? You’re in the right place. Below, the best skin-plumping, wrinkle-minimizing tinted moisturizers for mature skin, based on overwhelming enthusiasm from shoppers exclusively 40 years and over.

Best Overall

Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint ($36)

Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Serum Skin Tint checks all the boxes. The formula pairs ceramides and collagen peptides to plump and protect the skin barrier. Squalane boosts hydration all day, leaving skin with a glowy finish. Shoppers also love how the light coverage blurs dark spots, sunspots and redness without feeling too heavy on skin.

Promising Review

“I am 41 and have been looking for something that isn’t too heavy (as heavy makeup can bring out fine lines and wrinkles) but really gives you a healthy glow… This absolutely did it for me. It definitely gives me healthier looking skin, and it evens out my skin even though I have hyperpigmentation. I use this with a little concealer, and I love it. It is definitely is worth the try.”

Kosas BB Burst Hydrating Tinted Gel Cream ($38)

With ingredients like firming copper peptides, soothing zinc, smoothing saccharide isomerate and hydrating sodium PCA, BB Burst has become a hit among 40-and-over shoppers thanks to a light-as-air gel texture that smooths and blurs.

“Fifth or sixth tube since I started using it. I have good skin for my age, so I use this almost every day when I want color. Great number of color options, buildable so it can be light or more so I don’t use foundation. Skin is hydrated and it melts in.”

“I am50+ and have tried every foundation under the sun. My skin is combination and I’ve had a hard time finding foundation that lasts all day, provides good coverage, but that doesn’t show every single wrinkle on my face. This foundation is it! It’s lightweight but has great coverage and it lasts all day at work. The best thing is that it doesn’t settle into wrinkles and leaves my face looking youthful.”
