The invention relates to the use of a polylysine dendrimer or a salt thereof for the management of blemish- or acne-prone skin or for treating or preventing acne vulgaris. The polylysine dendrimer is used as an active for restoring or rebalancing skin microbiota. The polylysine dendrimer is also used as an active for improving or restoring the aspect and the feel of the skin to be treated.

Biodegradable resin particles including a recessed portion in a surface of the particles; and a hollow portion within the particles. The biodegradable resin particles of the present invention can be used in external preparations, such as cosmetics and quasi-drugs; coating materials, such as powder coating compositions and matting agents for coating compositions; rheology modifying agents; anti-blocking agents; smoothing agents; light-diffusing agents; additives for advanced ceramics sintering; fillers for adhesives; and agents for medical diagnosis and examination and can also be used by being added to a resin composition for automotive materials, construction materials, or the like or to a molded product thereof. In particular, the resin particles can be suitably used by being included in an external preparation, examples of which include cosmetics and quasi-drugs; a coating material, examples of which include powder coating compositions and matting agents for coating compositions; or an anti-blocking agent for packaging materials for food and drink or the like.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a specific hyperbranched copolymer (HBC) of the monomers dodecenyl succinic acid anhydride, diisopropanol amine and bis-dimethylaminopropyl amine and the compound 1,3-propandiol and/or N-hydroxyoctanamide. It has been found that said hyperbranched copolymer synergistically enhances the antimicrobial action of a 1,3-propanediol and/or N-hydroxy-octanamide.
