Abstract: Disclosed in certain embodiments are skincare formulations and treatment methods having hyaluronic acid, or its associated salts, and one or more of ascorbic acid, glycolic acid or lactic acid. In certain embodiments, the formulations and treatments are applied to the skin during and/or before and/or after dermatological procedures that affect the skin's barrier for alleviating patient discomfort and enabling rapid healing of irritated and damaged skin.

Abstract: Disclosed are stable, non-irritating, skin treatment active agents containing formulations and delivery systems for topical application to the skin. The disclosed topical formulations and delivery systems provide controlled, gentle release of the active agents into the skin for the treatment of amenable skin conditions as well as for improvement of aesthetic skin properties. Also provided are methods for the formulation, manufacture and use of the disclosed formulations and delivery systems.

Abstract: Disclosed are skincare formulations, delivery systems and treatment methods containing an oligopeptide and a combination of antioxidants for topical application to the skin before and/or after dermatological procedures that affect the skin's barrier. The systems herein alleviate discomfort and enable rapid healing of irritated and damaged skin, and provide improved treatment outcomes for dermatological procedures. The disclosed topical formulations, delivery systems, and methods thereof provide enhanced penetration of the active ingredients to the skin while maintaining skin moisture and protecting sensitive skin after dermatological procedures for improvement of aesthetic skin properties. Also provided are methods for therapeutic treatment of dermatological conditions by topically applying, using, for example, a pre-moistened bio-cellulose mask, a formulation comprising (% w/w) at least 0.0001% palmitoyl sh-tripeptide-4 amide on an active basis and at least 0.1% Camellia sinensis leaf extract.

Abstract: Disclosed are stable, non-irritating, retinoid containing formulations and delivery systems for topical application to the skin. The disclosed topical formulations and delivery systems provide controlled release of the retinoid to the skin for the treatment of amenable skin conditions as well as for improvement of aesthetic skin properties. Also provided are methods for the formulation, manufacture and use of the disclosed retinoid containing formulations and delivery systems.

Abstract: A stable composition is provided to treat and/or prevent photo-aged skin and related skin disorders such as sunburn, wrinkles, poor skin tone and skin discoloration by topically applying to the skin the treatment composition containing an effective amount of a compound such as ascorbic acid, derivatives of ascorbic acid and/or extracts containing ascorbic acid, in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle containing a substantially anhydrous base having no water added. The anhydrous base stabilizes the compound, so that the compound remains effective for an effective period of time, even in the presence of exposure to water. Preferably, the anhydrous base is a single phase carrier, as opposed to a two phase carrier emulsion.
