Desensitizing oral care composition useful for treating dentinal hypersensitivity, comprising potassium oxalate and methods of use thereof. Delivery systems including a strip of material and such oral care compositions for the treatment of dentinalhypersensitivity and methods of use thereof.

The invention provides a method for improving the volume of hair which comprises the following steps: (i) treating the hair by topical application of a composition comprising from 1 to 25 wt % of one or more glucosamine salts; (ii) shaping the treated hair; (iii) allowing the composition to remain in contact with the shaped hair before drying. Advantageously the method of the invention does not require the breakage of the hair disulfide bonds, does not require the use of high temperature heated implements such as straightening irons, and can be accomplished by a consumer without intervention of a professional hairdresser.

Disclosed are compositions, methods of treatment using the compositions and methods of preparing the compositions for the treatment of acne vulgaris. The compositions include succinic acid and an API selected from the group consisting of salicylic acid, azelaic acid, picolinic acid, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotic, retinoid and combinations thereof in a pharmaceutically acceptable preparation. The compositions that include the combination of succinic acid and another API produce improved efficacy in treating acne vulgaris.
