For those who like some of the technical details, this is a nice overview of the various anti-aging agents out there.
There are no pictures, but it does list specific products for key categories, as well as results from various studies.
It is fairly long (16 pages excluding footnotes). FYI...it is in a pdf format so you will be prompted to download it.

Cosmeceutical Agents: A Comprehensive Review of the Literature
Thomas C. Tsai, BS and Basil M. Hantash
Program for Regenerative Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA.
Abstract: Cosmeceuticals represent one of the most promising, yet challenging treatment options available to physicians. They are the fastest growth segment in the skin-care market, and a number of topical cosmeceutical treatments for conditions such as photoaging, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles have come into widespread use. This comprehensive review attempts to examine the current literature of the more commonly encountered cosmeceutical agents in order to determine their utility in treating various dermatologic conditions, as well as their potential use in the area of wound healing. Each section, dealing with a different agent, provides a brief chemical background, a review of the published research studies, and finally concludes with a prediction about its potential role in skin regeneration. Although further research needs to be conducted, adjuvant cosmeceutical therapy may help in prevention of skin cancer, photoaging, and the rejuvenation of skin during wound healing.
