There are many anti-aging products out there. Many of them even go by the name of cosmeceutical. The Clinical Dermatology Center, Geisinger Health System in Danville, PA claims that many of the products that are classified as cosmeceuticals are tested less vigorously and do not have to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration to establish efficacy and safety.
The word cosmeceutical, that you may or may not heard of, has no meaning under the law and is not recognizable by the FDA, U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA uses the words drugs or cosmetics for its classification. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, FD and C Act defines drugs as those products that cure, treat, mitigate or prevent disease or that affect the structure or function of the human body. While drugs are subject to a review and approval process by FDA, cosmetics are not approved by FDA prior to sale. I could not find any studies done to determine if cosmeceuticals really work in reducing wrinkles.

Although topical creams and other anti-aging products purport to reduce the appearance of aging and skin wrinkling, there has been no critical analysis in the scientific literature of their effectiveness., states the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry, University of Exeter, Devon, UK.
The College also mentions that few trials have been done with anti-aging materials. As for the information that was found, a significant reduction in skin wrinkling was noted for date kernel extract, cork extract, soy extract, Rosaceae and peony extract. No significant reduction was noted for green tea, Vitaphenol® (a combination of green and white teas, mangosteen and pomegranate extract) or maca root.

What we eat has always been something to consider to prevent aging. Food with antioxidants has been thought to slow the aging process, but according to The National Institute on Aging, studies of antioxidant-laden foods and supplements in humans have yielded little support for the premise that antioxidants could slow the aging process. The Cleveland Clinic explains that eating a diet rich in antioxidant-containing foods, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, has been linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, but not to the prevention of aging. Many claim that a reduction in calories may reduce the aging process, although that idea and process needs more research as does intermittent fasting to lengthen a life.
