Abstract: The present invention concerns a device for metering products intended to be applied to the skin, in particular pharmaceutical or cosmetic compositions. The invention relates more particularly to a device taking the form of an applicator stick, the graduations of which allow users to determine precisely the quantity of medication to be applied to the skin as a function of the surface area to be treated.
Abstract: A cream base for the topical application of skin care therapeutics and a process for making the cream base. In one embodiment, the therapeutic is tretinoin, hydroquinone and fluocinolone acetonide for the treatment of hyperpigmented skin conditions, such as melasma.

Abstract: The invention concerns a foaming composition for washing and treating hair and/or scalp essentially characterised in that it contains in an aqueous medium: at least an active principle selected among corticoids and retinoids; at least an anionic surfactant; at least an amphoteric surfactant; and a pro-penetrating agent.
Abstract: Topical application of a triple combination immixture of fluocinolone acetonide, tretinoin and hydroquinone is useful for the maintenance therapy of melasma to prevent hyperpigmentation recurrence or reduce the severity of the hyperpigmentation recurrence.
Abstract: Amorolfine base, which is a compound of formula (I): is improvedly prepared by: (i) contacting a compound of formula (II): with a Friedel-Crafts catalyst; and (ii) adding one equivalent of 2-halogeno-2-methylbutane, wherein the reaction mixture obtained in step (i) is cooled to a temperature from ?40° to ?60° C. prior to step (ii) and the Friedel-Craft catalyst is selected from the group consisting of gallium chloride, antimony pentafluoride, molybdenum pentachloride, indium chloride, antimony pentachloride.
Abstract: Topical application of a triple combination immixture of fluocinolone acetonide, tretinoin and hydroquinone is useful for the maintenance therapy of melasma to prevent hyperpigmentation recurrence or reduce the severity of the hyperpigmentation recurrence.
Abstract: Novel compositions in petroleum jelly-free unguent form, in particular for topical application, contain a vitamin D compound and optionally an active agent of the family of steroidal anti-inflammatory agents.
Abstract: Double compartment skincare products confine a first compartment containing an anhydrous composition including an active ingredient, and a second compartment, wherein the active ingredient is selected from among compounds of the avermectin family and compounds of the milbemycin family, and are useful as medicaments for the treatment and/or prevention of dermatological conditions/afflictions.
Abstract: Compounds of the avermectin family or derivatives thereof, notably latidectin, are formulated into pharmaceutical compositions useful for the treatment of dermatological conditions in humans, in particular rosacea.
Abstract: Compounds of the avermectin family or derivatives thereof, notably emamectins are formulated into pharmaceutical compositions useful for the treatment of dermatological conditions in humans, in particular rosacea.
Abstract: Compounds of the milbemycin family or derivatives thereof are formulated into pharmaceutical compositions useful for the treatment of dermatological conditions in humans, in particular rosacea.
Abstract: Compounds of the milbemycin family or derivatives thereof are formulated into pharmaceutical compositions useful for the treatment of dermatological conditions in humans, in particular rosacea.
Abstract: 6?-ethyl lepimectin, 6?-methyl lepimectin or derivatives thereof are formulated into pharmaceutical compositions useful for the treatment of dermatological conditions in humans, in particular rosacea.
Abstract: Compositions and nanoemulsions containing lipid nanocapsules dispersed in a hydrophilic phase, such nanocapsules including at least one avermectin compound, are useful for the treatment of dermatological pathologies, e.g., rosacea.
Abstract: Dermatological conditions/afflictions such as rosacea, common acne, seborrheic dermatitis, perioral dermatitis, acneform rashes, transient acantholytic dermatosis, and acne necrotica miliaris, most notably rosacea, are treated by topically applying onto the affected skin area of an individual in need of such treatment, a topical pharmaceutical composition which comprises a thus effective amount of ivermectin.
Abstract: Pharmaceutical/dermatological compositions containing at least one avermectin compound, e.g., ivermectin and benzoyl peroxide, are useful for treating afflictions of the skin, especially rosacea.
Abstract: Compounds of the natural avermectin family are formulated into pharmaceutical compositions useful for the treatment of dermatological conditions in humans, in particular rosacea.
Abstract: Topically applicable dermatological/cosmetic compositions suited for ungual/peri-ungual administration for the treatment of a variety of pathologies, including fungal pathologies, such as onychomycosis, contain (a) at least one biologically active agent (e.g., antifungal) and (b) at least two of the pro-penetrating agents selected from the group consisting of urea, an organic acid and an ethoxydiglycol, the at least two-pro-penetrating agents respectively being present in effective amounts as to synergistically improve the ungual/peri-ungual bioavailability of the at least one biologically active agent.
Abstract: A method for preparing highly stable aqueous gels based on metronidazole, well suited for treating such skin conditions as rosacea, acne and dermatitis, entails the successive steps of: (A) forming a solvent medium M comprising water and propylene glycol; (B) dissolving the metronidazole in this solvent medium M, and optionally diluting the medium obtained by addition of water, whereby a solution S of metronidazole is obtained; and thence (C) mixing the solution S obtained with a gelling polymer, in a sufficient amount to ensure gelling of the composition.
Abstract: An improved process of producing Amorolfine base, which is a compound of formula (I): said process including the steps of: (i) contacting a compound of formula (II): with a Friedel-Crafts catalyst at a temperature in the range of 20° to 30° C.; (ii) adding a 2-halogeno-2-methylbutane thereto, and wherein the reaction mixture obtained in step (i) is cooled to a temperature of from ?40° to ?60° C. prior to step (ii).
