If you’ve ever wondered whether skincare can really deliver results that rival injectables, you’re not alone—and according to shoppers, the answer might just be yes. Based on countless rave reviews, these anti-aging skincare products are so effective, people say they’ve actually delayed or even skipped their usual Botox appointments.
Whether you’re looking to stretch time between visits or hold off on injectables altogether, these highly rated products are being praised as game-changing alternatives. Of course, everyone’s skin is different—and I’m definitely not saying these replace professional treatments—but when shoppers consistently say things like “I don’t even need Botox anymore,” I take notice.
From firming serums to wrinkle-smoothing creams, these picks are packed with ingredients that reviewers swear by. So if you're curious about leveling up your routine without the needle, these might be the affordable, at-home hacks worth trying.
Just remember: this is all based on what shoppers have said!
LilyAna Naturals Bakuchiol Face Lift Cream With Sea Moss and Peptide Complex
Target fine lines and loss of firmness with a peptide-packed formula that visibly lifts, hydrates, and smooths for a more youthful look.
Shoppers Say: "Moisturizing and lifting. Loved the way it made your skin feel. It was sort of like a facelift without the surgery."
"BEHOLD a miracle cream. My face is so soft and hydrated. My face is literally 21 again."
"Virtually erase my fine lines. I never write reviews, but I felt like this product deserved it. I have lines in my forehead that makeup only settles into. They have been bothering me for so long, I was literally considering options like Botox, and I am only 21... This moisturizer has been a godsend."

RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Filler
Smooth the look of deep wrinkles with this retinol-infused formula that targets fine lines, plumps skin, and supports a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Shoppers Say: "I was just looking into Botox and decided to try this. It's amazing! My boyfriend and family noticed immediately! This stuff works the same day! Buying a case of it."
"I am stunned at the results of this wrinkle filler on my upper and lower lip lines! It’s as good as a shot of Botox in plumping up the skin and reducing the deep lines. A++ product! Not harsh at all."
"Botox worked, but side effects of bad headaches for weeks after and not to mention the price and putting poison in my body! I decided to stop the Botox and do creams/fillers. I've spent hundreds of dollars and nothing helped dramatically, so I went cheaper and guess what?! This one works!!!!! Roc is a wonderful line, and this one not only fills my lines but also works on reducing them as well."

Shoppers Say: "I normally don't leave reviews, but this stuff is seriously Botox in a bottle. My wrinkles disappeared right before my eyes! I'm still in shock. Worth every penny!!!"
"I can't afford Botox but the Instatox works! It's only temporary, but makes me feel great!"
"No longer considering Botox! This is so worth the money! I couldn't believe the results. I've spent so much money on creams for my deep forehead and between the eye wrinkles."

Shoppers Say: "This stuff is Botox in a bottle. Within 5 min all wrinkles disappeared! Under my eyes and my forehead. I wiped it off and still had the tightening effects. I was skeptical, but this is the best money I ever spent! Just buy it!"

No7 Instant Illusion Wrinkle Filler
Fill the look of fine lines and wrinkles with this smoothing formula that helps blur imperfections and create a more lifted, youthful finish.
Shoppers Say: "This is really good for blurring fine lines. I have tried Botox & Dysport injections, but they wear off so quickly for me. This is a good product for when I’m between. I have tried many other expensive products and this works better!"
"Makes me happy, so why not? Better than Botox! They are still there, but I just can't see them."
"It def covers or blends in the wrinkles until I can get Botox."

Tighten the look of sagging skin and smooth the appearance of fine lines with this firming treatment that helps deliver a more lifted, youthful finish.
Shoppers Say: "I have no words to describe how amazing this product is, and I will NEVER use anything else. I will NEVER spend thousands on Botox again because this product is amazing!!"
"WANT TO LOOK YOUNGER INSTANTLY?! I use it daily. It’s like Botox. I especially use it when my Botox is wearing off. It works MAGIC. This is the secret. I’m telling you to buy it."
"This product is like Botox in a bottle!!!!!"
Customer Ratings: 4,500+ 5-star Amazon reviews
Shoppers Say: "I was considering Botox, but after using this serum along with red light therapy my fine lines have almost completely disappeared. I feel by the time I reach the end of this bottle they will be much better than when I started."
"Miracle Serum?! Could it be? I was one phone call away from making my first ever Botox appointment, but this serum has bought me at least a year before I hit up my dermatologist."
Shoppers Say: "Can’t do Botox or other Injectables because I’m breastfeeding, but this is a wonderful substitute! Definitely recommend!"
"I have used Botox and Juvaderm, and they were great, but I'm too busy to follow up with those treatments regularly. I apply this every day and even my own mother asked me if I 'had work done.' I have used this product for a little over 2 months now, and I have noticed that the more I use it, the better the results and the longer the results last. I even feel comfortable NOT wearing makeup now. It's a keeper for me!!"
