The present invention relates generally to compositions and methods of using the same such as, for example, methods of treating the skin of a subject using a composition as described herein. The composition may comprise a diluent, a solvent, a penetration enhancing agent, a skin brightening agent, a skin renewing agent, a thickening agent, an anti-irritant, a chelating agent, an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), optionally a pH adjustment agent, and optionally a preservative. The composition may further comprise L-arginine and/or L-citrulline and/or esters and/or derivatives thereof.

Provided herein are preservative compositions containing a preservative agent with an alkylene glycol ester. Also provided are method for increasing the efficacy of preservative agents and methods for reducing the minimum amount of preservative agent needed for effective preservation activity in end-use formulations.
