Abstract: Methods of treating aging related skin changes and of increasing skin thickness with topical administration of N-acyldipeptide derivatives are described. Compositions comprising N-acyldipeptide derivatives, are therapeutically effective for increasing skin thickness, and for treating extrinsic and intrinsic aging and aging related skin changes, such as fine lines, wrinkles, photoaging, hyperpigmentation, laxity, age spots, lentigines, mottled skin, and cellulite.

Abstract: Novel compounds of N-Lipoic-amino acid, N-Lipoic-peptides and their derivatives are described. Also described are compositions and method of compositions containing the derivatives of the amino acids or peptides, and their uses including treating and preventing dermatological or cosmetic conditions or other disorders of the cutaneous system. Compositions and methods of using the compositions for skin lightening and cosmetics are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods of treating aging related skin changes and of increasing skin thickness with topical administration of N-acyldipeptide derivatives and retinol are described. Combinations of retinol and N-acyldipeptide derivatives, are therapeutically effective for increasing skin thickness, and for treating extrinsic and intrinsic aging and aging related skin changes, such as fine lines, wrinkles, photoaging, hyperpigmentation, laxity, age spots, lentigines, mottled skin, and cellulite.

Abstract: A water-in-silicone cosmetic makeup composition includes a hydroxy acid, a sunscreen agent, a moisturizing agent, an antioxidant, a cosmetically acceptable pigment, an emulsifier, a silicone-containing compound and water. The composition when applied to the skin protects the skin from ultraviolet light exposure, and it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The composition also is highly moisturizing and gentle enough for sensitive skin. Methods of protecting the skin from ultraviolet light exposure and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by topically applying this composition, as well as methods of making the emulsified compositions also are disclosed.
