The present invention generally relates to the field of skin care. More particularly, the invention relates to a cosmetic or therapeutic skin care composition comprising live bacteria of at least one Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) strain in combination with an antioxidant that specifically supports their viability during storage and/or their ability to replicate after application to the skin. Preferably, the cosmetic or therapeutic skin care composition comprises bacteria of at least one C. acnes strain selected from the group consisting of D1, A5, C1, C3, H1, H2,H3, K1,K2, K4, K6, K8, K9, L1, and F4. The invention also provides a method for treating or preventing acne by applying the skin care composition of the invention to a skin area in need of treatment. The invention also relates to the use of a skin care composition of the invention for treating or preventing acne.

A composite implant for sustained release of a therapeutic agent in an ocular area of a subject. The composite implant comprises a matrix of photopolymerized polymer formed from a photopolymerizable composition, a biodegradable polymer contained within the matrix, and a therapeutic agent dispersed or dissolved between the matrix and/or biodegradable polymer, wherein the implant is formed from an ocular composition comprising 99 to 60% (w/w) of the photopolymerizable composition. The composite implant can be used in methods of delivering a therapeutic agent to an ocular area in a subject in need thereof, particularly by injecting the implant into the ocular area. Methods of preparing the composite implant are also disclosed.
