Patent number: 11399618Abstract: A stencil or stamp applicator is used for applying a skin-tightening composition onto skin surfaces. The composition applied with a stencil or stamp results in a discontinuous film made up of sections of about 20 to 150 microns. The discontinuity of the film results in more comfort and a more natural look of facial movement while still retaining a good skin-tightening effect.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2018Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: L'OrealInventors: Alexandra Jane Elisa Farran, Anne-Laure Bernard, Theresa Phamduy, William Bickford, Olivier Dovergne
