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 emollient 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 traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating psoriasis, a preparation method therefor and a use thereof. The traditional Chinese medicine composition comprises: water buffalo horn powder, Japanese honeysuckle flower, gypsum, red peony root, peony bark, charred cape jasmine fruit, baical skullcap root, raw garden burnet root, and liquorice root. The preparation method comprises: proportionally weighing out the baical skullcap root, the Japanese honeysuckle flower, the red peony root, the peony bark, the gypsum, the charred cape jasmine fruit, the garden burnet root and the liquorice root, adding water and decocting 1 to 3 times, each time using 4 to 10 times the amount (weight to volume ratio) of water and decocting for 0.5 to 3 hours; combining decoctions, filtering, vacuum concentrating the filtrate, drying same, adding the water buffalo horn powder and mixing until evenly distributed.

Embodiments described herein are directed to methods for treating moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, or radiation dermatitis in a subject comprising administering about 1.0% tapinarof in a topical composition to the affected areas of the subject once a day for an initial period of time until the plaque psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, or radiation dermatitis is clear at which time the administration is stopped, and reassessing the subject from about 3 months to about 12 months after administration is stopped to determine if further treatment is required. Also described is the remittive effect observed after once daily administration of 1% tapinarof cream.
