Re-Grow Your Skin With "Cosmeceuticals"

Several new products that hover between being cosmetics and pharmeceuticals promise to make aging skin look young again. And apparently there's medical proof that they work. The main signs of aging skin are an uneven surface, wrinkles, and discoloration. Now a North Carolina dermatologist says each of these symptoms can be treated with simple, topical "cosmeceuticals." We can't grow skin in a vat for you, but we can rejuvenate what you've got.

The researcher claims:

So basically you're trying to sell me moisturizing creme with niacin (Vitamin B), retinoids (acne medicine), and "photoprotective ingredients" (sunblock)? Wow, sounds super scientific. It's like day creme with added vitamins and minerals!
