Crow's feet is the popular name of the wrinkles that appear around the corners of the eyes. Whether skin cream, or any other anti-aging product, can reduce crow's feet has been the subject for debate for as long as there have been beauty products to use!

There is a difference between moisturizer, which is used to relieve dry skin, and anti-aging creams, which are used to alleviate the signs of aging, such as crow's feet. 
I personally believe regular use of moisturizer can help minimize the effects of aging on the skin. Moisturizers tend to be cheaper and contain simple ingredients such as aloe vera, oats, coconut milk and cucumber. 
Anti-aging creams are usually more expensive and for smaller amounts, as they contain rarer ingredients. However, by the time a person may start using such creams, it may be already too late, even if they bring temporary relief.

Here Comes the Science Part

Look for creams which contain Tretinoin, better known by the name Retin-A, or glycosaminoglycans, such as hyaluronic acid. These chemicals produce similar reactions to the body's own methods of keeping skin smooth and supple. 

Products to look out for include Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Moisturizer SPF 30, RoC Multi Correxion Lift Anti-Gravity Day Moisturizer SPF 30 and La Prairie Cellular Power Charge Night. All three products came highly recommended in a 2013 survey by Good Housekeeping magazine.
