Disclosed are personal care formulations, personal care methods and personal care devices that comprise or use a gel, lotion, cream or the like comprising (a) one or more active ingredients for providing a beneficial effect to the skin and/or hair and/or mucous membranes of a human and (b) from about 1 percent by weight to about 50 percent by weight of foam forming component(s) comprising trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1233zd(E).

The inventive subject is directed towards ready-to-use topical cosmetic formulations that include at least one defensin present in sub-antimicrobially effective concentrations. Surprisingly, even at such low concentrations, defensins recruit LGR6+ stem cells from hair follicles to the interfollicular space. Including defensins in the inventive topical cosmetic formulations may reduce one or more of wrinkle depth, wrinkle length, wrinkle width, pore size, irregularity in texture of a skin surface, oiliness, brown spots, and red spots in non-injured skin, thus reducing apparent age.
