TLDR Many popular skincare products claim to prevent aging but lack strong evidence to prove their effectiveness and safety.
This review discusses popular cosmeceuticals in dermatology, focusing on their indications, mechanisms, and therapeutic benefits. Key ingredients include vitamins (A, B, C, D, E), peptides, hyaluronic acid, hydroxy acids, cannabinoids, botulinum toxins, allantoin, urea, caffeine, and zinc. These ingredients are noted for their anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, photoprotective, moisturizing, wound healing, and hair growth properties. Despite their potential, cosmeceuticals are not FDA-regulated, leading to unverified claims. Most evidence is from in vitro research, highlighting the need for high-quality clinical studies to confirm their efficacy and safety.
