摘要：Introduction: Cosmeceutical is a term used to describe cosmetics with antiaging effects these days. The aim of the current study was to determine the efficacy of different type of antiaging dermatological products based on consumer self-assessment and to identify those driving factors that influence women’s purchase of these products and to have an insight into their perception and knowledge about these products. Methods: A prospective study was conducted about the use of antiaging cosmetics, consumer satisfaction, skin concerns related with age, importance of younger looking skin and socioeconomic status. Results and Discussion: It was observed in the study that such products do work to improve skin conditions but the claim that wrinkles could be cured completely could not be determined. Participant reported discrepancies between ideal and real effect of antiaging cosmetics. Even if such cosmetic products are expensive people like to spend on these to fulfill the human dream of looking younger.
