Disclosed herein are cosmetic compositions that provide for an improved appearance of the dermis and for improved dermal and epidermal health in view of conventional formulations.

The present disclosure relates to stable cosmetic compositions containing high amounts of retinol. The cosmetic compositions further include, among other things, a plurality of nonionic emulsifiers, fatty alcohols, fatty compounds, thickening polymers, and water. Methods for solubilizing high amounts of retinol and methods of treating the skin with the cosmetic compositions is also described. Methods for stabilizing the cosmetic compositions containing high amounts of retinol and methods for preserving the high amounts of retinol are also described. The present disclosure also describes methods for treating the with the cosmetic compositions.

Skin care compositions and methods are provided. In some embodiments, the skin care compositions include retinol and polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN). In certain embodiments, methods of using the aforementioned skin care compositions are provided as treatment for skin aging and/or acne scars.

The present invention relates to a composition, especially a cosmetic composition, in particular for making up and/or caring for keratin materials, comprising at least retinol, an ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid salt, at least one compound chosen from ascorbic acid or an analog thereof, and tocopherol or a derivative thereof.

A low-urea retinoate containing less than 5% of urea or a urea-containing compound produced by a reaction of (a) retinoic acid and (b) glyceryl oleate, wherein the low-urea retinoate is a pourable, homogenous solution at room temperature.

A method for topically treating skin is disclosed. The method can include applying to skin a composition that includes tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, Morus alba fruit extract, Acmella oleracea extract, and retinol, wherein topical application of the composition treats the skin.

Methods and industrial scale set-ups for manufacturing spray-dried powders are provided. During the process, a solvent is used. The process is done batchwise such that the emulsification mass ratio is low when removal of the solvent is started. Preferred solvents are isopropyl acetate and ethyl acetate.

Disclosed are stable, non-irritating, skin treatment active agents containing formulations and delivery systems for topical application to the skin. The disclosed topical formulations and delivery systems provide controlled, gentle release of the active agents into the skin for the treatment of amenable skin conditions as well as for improvement of aesthetic skin properties. Also provided are methods for the formulation, manufacture and use of the disclosed formulations and delivery systems.

The disclosure relates to compositions, methods, and kits for improving the appearance of the skin by applying acetyl trifluoromethylphenyl valylglycine, at least one retinoid, and optionally at least one additional skin peeling agent to the skin.

Personal care compositions and methods of use are disclosed herein. A personal care composition is provided comprising: a skin protection system comprising: an amino acid complex; and optionally one or more antioxidants; a penetration enhancer; and a cosmetically acceptable carrier.
