Hi Leonid,
     Suprisingly, the first use in the Google archives is not until
'92, in reference to DHEA, then once againg in '93. In '94 the word
seemed to become popular, about ten hits. Here's the first hit on
Medline. It would be interesing to know something more of the subject
matter, if only from an historical perspective. My guess would be,
it's a cosmetic.
