In today’s Daily Dose, a viewer asked an important question: Are there anti-aging products for areas other than the face? According to News 9 Medical Expert Dr. Lacy Anderson, the answer is yes, and the solution is surprisingly simple.

People don't just notice aging on our faces. They see it on their hands, arms, neck, chest, and legs as well. Neck and chest wrinkles are a common concern, particularly among women.

Dr. Anderson's top recommendation? Retinol. “Retinol is the best anti-aging product available,” she said. “So I would recommend a body lotion with retinol to be used once to twice daily.”

Retinol isn’t just for wrinkles — it can also help treat acne, hyperpigmentation, and keratosis pilaris. However, Dr. Anderson cautioned that it may cause irritation in those with sensitive skin and can increase sun sensitivity. She recommends wearing sunscreen daily on sun-exposed areas when using retinol products.

Dr. Anderson shared two of her current favorite products:

  1. Medix 5.5 Age Rewind Body Lotion with retinol and ferulic acid, available for about $20 on Amazon.
  2. Olay Retinol 24 Body Lotion, which is a more budget-friendly option at around $10, is available at local pharmacies, Walmart, or Target.

Dr. Anderson says these products can help with crepey skin on the hands, neck, arms, and thighs.
