I guess it's an indication of how many people are deeply interested in superficial improvement...

It's also a business decision. I am a sales director and I HAVE to look at the top of my game when I'm making sales.

sloppy and unkempt appearences do not bode well with companies wishing to see a professional product delivered by a professional company.

to be honest with you, I'd sell my firstborn to get money for ANY startup that actually makes women/men dramatically younger (superficially).
I can't think of one woman I've ever met who is middle age or older, that wouldn't give anything to look young and beautiful....ANYTHING.$$$$

I have not read the whole thread, however, here are my suggestions.

Take a fairly normal body cream and add creatine powder to it as to the point where it becomes a little bit sabulos. Then you have the first simple version of a superb peeling-like anti-aging cream, which works against photoaging and which vitalizes keratinocytes etc.

some circumstantial evidence:

Imagine what might happens if you add some DMSO..;-).... :-)
I did, or rather a compounding pharmacy which I asked to "invent" me a creatine-based creme.

Actually, I always wanted to make busines out of this simple creatine face peeling-creme-thing. But I did not mange to do so...because I am/was to lazy. If anybody takes this idea and is going to become rich, you might grant me some percent of the profit...;-), eventually

I use this cream for > 3 years now as a 43 y old male after rasage instead of the usual aftershave gel..... I have the impression that it does somthing, however as a scientist I would love to have systematic trials.....

Some companies are investigatin creatine too and there are creatine products out there. The above paper was co-written by Beiersdorf-staff..
