Abstract: The use, as a dermatological or cosmetic medicament, of compounds capable of transiently interacting with the AhR receptor (aryl hydrocarbon receptor) as agents for modulating skin functions such as sebaceous function, skin healing, skin atropy termed “dermatoporosis”, estrogen deprivation and defense against infection, without inducing other toxic effects of the TCDD type. The compounds that interact with the AhR receptor are chosen in that they have a metabolism favorable to the dissociation of these effects, in particular by virtue of in situ production from a precursor and/or metabolization modulated in situ.

Abstract: The inventive compositions for topical application are characterized in that they comprises one or several hyaluronate fragments in the form of a main principle whose molecular weight ranges from 50 000 and 750 000 Da and a retinoid if necessary.

Abstract: The subject invention provides a method of treating acne in a subject which comprises topically and periodically applying to the subject's acne a composition comprising 3-phenyl-1-benzo[f]chromen-1-one and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the 3-phenyl-1-benzo[f]chromen-1-one is present in an amount effective to treat the subject's acne. The subject invention also provides a method of treating a skin condition associated with abnormal sebum secretion or abnormal sebaceous gland function in a subject, compositions in such methods and a sorting method for identifying agonists of AhR pathway, useful in such methods and compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition for cutaneous application, whose goal is the depigmentation of the skin.

Abstract: The use, as a dermatological or cosmetic medicament, of compounds capable of transiently interacting with the AhR receptor (aryl hydrocarbon receptor) as agents for modulating skin functions such as sebaceous function, skin healing, skin atrophy termed “dermatoporosis”, estrogen deprivation and defense against infection, without inducing other toxic effects of the TCDD type. The compounds that interact with the AhR receptor are chosen in that they have a metabolism favorable to the dissociation of these effects, in particular by virtue of in situ production from a precursor and/or metabolization modulated in situ.

Abstract: The invention concerns the cosmetic or dermatological use of at least one compound of formula (I), wherein: R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and G are such as defined in the description as whitening and/or depigmenting agents for the skin and/or hairs and/or the hair. The invention also concerns a cosmetic method for whitening and/or lightening the skin and/or hairs and/or the hair comprising applying a composition of the invention.

Abstract: The invention concerns novel polyunsaturated compounds of formula (I) wherein: R1 represents a R?1, -A-R?1 group, R?1 being selected from —COOH, —COOR3, —CONH2, —CONHR3, —CONR3 R4, —CHO, —CH2OH, —CH2OR5, and A represents a C2-C16 alkylene, alkenylene or alkynylene; R2 represents: an optionally substituted aryl group or an optionally substituted heteroaryl group; a sugar residue or, a fatty acid residue optionally branched and/or substituted preferably at the chain terminus and particularly by hydroxy, acetoxy radical or by an optionally protected amino radical; a —OC —(CH2)n CO-tocopheryl (alpha, beta or gamma or delta) group, with 2 $m(F) n $m(F) 10; a —R?2—O—R6 group, wherein R?2 is an optionally substituted arylene group or an optionally substituted heteroarylene group, and R6 represents a hydrogen atom, a straight or branched optionally substituted C 1-C 16 alkyl, a straight or branched optionally substituted C2-C16 alkenyl, or a straight or branched C2-C16 alkynyl group, an optionally substituted tocophe

Abstract: Anti-inflammatory dermatological composition for topical administration, characterized in that it comprises 0.005% to 0.1%, preferably 0.01% to 0.05% by weight of a corticosteroid and 0.1% to 1%, preferably 0.5% to 1% by weight of hyaluronate fragments with an average molecular weight of between 20 and 500 kDa, preferably between 20 and 375 kDa, more preferentially between 20 and 150 kDa.
