Here's a dermatology report on aging and hormones.

Cosmeceuticals seem to be the fabled genie in the bottle - able to grant almost any wish that you may have for your skin, whether you want it to be smoother, more radiant or younger-looking. In a market that gives consumers more and more choices, how can you decide whether the ingredients in that bottle are right for you?

"Cosmeceuticals are cosmetics that may have pharmaceutical or drug-like properties," Dr. Berson said. "Like cosmetics, cosmeceuticals are applied just to the surface of the skin, but instead of only covering up a problem, they may be able to help fix it. They are commonly found in such products as eye creams, moisturizers, cleansers and foundations."
