Marketing material for an anti-wrinkle cream:
4ème en sell-out sur le marché US Anti-Rides
Can I just say "4th among Anti-Wrinkle products on the US market"?
Gosh I hate it when English terms are used in French!
TIA!!

I wouldn't use sell-out since it may also have a negative connotation. sell-out as in betraying, letting down, deceiving

Yes, 4th most popular product brings out the meaning that it is a total sell-out.

"in the market" seems to be a more popular usage than "on the market" although both are correct in terms of grammar

4yh most sought after/most wanted Anti-Wrinkle products on the US market
These are a few alternative options. However, I think that your suggestion of "4th most popular Anti-Wrinkle product on the US market" fits the bill nicely.

...the fourth most popular direct marketed product on the US anti wrinkle market...

retail sales
Seems "sell out" is hardly used in English in the "French" sense, but that the idea has to do with "retail sales", so I would try to keep the idea of retail as opposed to "wholesale", especially if the audience is in marketing, as seems to be the case.
SELL OUT
Mot anglais.
Revente d'un produit par un distributeur au consommateur facilitée par des actions au point de vente.
Possibly "Number 4 in retail sales of anti-wrinkle products in the US"
