Does Saw Palmetto help Wrinkles?

Before Covid the skin on my face had few wrinkles. During Covid I got wrinkles! I have tried at various times using Coconut Oil. My granddaughter (17) says if you use Saw Palmetto (don't buy it here in the US). How does it help, where do I purchase it, does it work or do I need to combine it with something else?

    I have looked fairly extensively and can't find any studies related to using saw palmetto for facial wrinkles. It is well studied for its use in cases of BPH and more recent studies are showing promise for treating age related alopecia in both women and men but no studies related to the skin.

    I'm not sure why you wouldn't buy it in the US. Ask your granddaughter where she got the info about wrinkles and why you shouldn't buy saw palmetto in the US. Perhaps it was promotional info for a specific product.
