There are some studies on different topical products. Here’s a good overview of recent work in this area: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31465507.  But for this question, I would point out that there are no topical products available that are good for everyone, and they're not all regulated by the FDA, so there is a lot of variability in what you can and can't buy.

That link is about Indian trade and business, not skin?

The article does talk about consumer health, but I don't know if it's about what you're asking about, here.  Would you like to read some of the text?

I was just looking for general products that are helpful at increasing supple skin as we age.

The study describes two sets of products that have been shown to increase skin smoothness, and different ways that different people have found to use those products.  I would ask you whether you know what sort of product or method would be best for you.  (For example, would you use a moisturizer and serums/exfoliants, or just a moisturizer, or a skin-calming product or something else?)

Names of products would be the easiest. Unless you just kind of using words without actual data?
