Disclosed is a method of treating a fine line or wrinkle in a person's skin. The method includes topically applying to the fine line or wrinkle a composition comprising an effective amount of Commiphora mukul resin or an extract thereof that includes oleo gum resin. Topical application of the composition to the fine line or wrinkle reduces the appearance of the fine line or wrinkle.

Provided herein are liposomal compositions for improved delivery and penetration into the skin. Liposomal compositions as provided herein comprise one more peptides. Also provided herein are compositions and methods for targeting dermal white adipose tissue to improve fat reduction and anti-aging effects. Compositions and methods for targeting dermal white adipose tissue may comprise administering a composition comprising liposomes.

Enhanced delivery of compositions for treatment of skin tissue with photoactive plasmonic nanoparticles and light, with embodiments relating to delivery devices using, for example, ultrasound. Treatments are useful for cosmetic, diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Disclosed is a method for reducing the appearance of cellulite, improving the texture of skin, or reducing the appearance of a fine line or wrinkle in skin that has cellulite, rough skin texture, or a fine line or wrinkle, the method comprising topically applying a composition to the skin that includes effective amounts of caffeine, escin, and an extract from Ascophyllum nodosum, wherein topical application of the composition reduces the appearance of cellulite, improves the texture of the skin, or reduces the appearance of the fine line or wrinkle.
