摘要
Four major categories of interest in the cosmeceutical market are nonbleaching agents, antioxidants, peptides, and growth factors. The trend toward introducing natural products considered to be safe is influenced by media hype and consumer interest. This is driving the cosmeceutical market to develop safer products that are naturally derived. Some of these naturally derived products have proven to be helpful, whereas more evidence is needed for other products before physicians can consider recommending their use. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.
