Abstract: A skin care composition that contains a combination of a vitamin B3 compound, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, acetyl tetrapeptide-11, and a dermatologically acceptable carrier. The combination of vitamin B3 compound, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, and acetyl tetrapeptide-11 increases activation of a cell's Antioxidant Response Element (ARE), (e.g., synergistically) to improve a visible sign of skin aging.

Abstract: A skin care composition that includes a combination of palmitoyl dipeptide-7, acetyl tetrapeptide-11, other optional skin ingredients, and a dermatologically acceptable carrier. The combination of peptides synergistically improves cellular ATP level and/or upregulates the expression of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha and/or methylsterol monooxygenase 1 to help provide improved skin health and appearance.

Abstract: A stable skin care composition for improving the appearance of aging skin is disclosed. The stable skin care composition that includes an effective amount of artichoke leaf extract and carob fruit extract that, in combination, can provide a synergistic increase in the up-regulation of key epidermal-associated genes related to skin aging, and thereby provide an improvement in the appearance of aging skin. The stable skin care composition excludes complexing agents and includes sunscreen agents to help photostablize the composition.
