Abstract: The invention features a method of treating acne by piercing the stratum corneum of skin in need of such treatment with a stratum corneum-piercing device including a microprotrusion member having a skin-contacting surface and plurality of stratum corneum-piercing microprotrusions thereon.

Abstract: The invention features a method of treating acne by piercing the stratum corneum of skin in need of such treatment with a stratum corneum-piercing device that contains at least one stratum corneum-piercing microprotrusion and a compressible cover such that the compressible cover substantially encases the at least one stratum corneum-piercing microprotrusion, and wherein upon contacting the skin with the compressible cover, the at least one stratum corneum-piercing microprotrusion protrudes from the compressible cover and pierces the stratum corneum of the skin.

Abstract: The invention features a method of treating acne by piercing the stratum corneum of skin in need of such treatment with a stratum corneum-piercing device that contains at east one stratum corneum-piercing microprotrusion and a compressible cover such that the compressible cover substantially encases the at least one stratum corneum-piercing microprotrusion, and wherein upon contacting the skin with the compressible cover, the at least one stratum corneum-piercing microprotrusion protrudes from the compressible cover and pierces the stratum corneum of the skin.

Abstract: The present invention features a device having a barrier membrane contacting surface, the device containing: a power source; a first conductive electrode; a second conductive electrode; and a reservoir; wherein said power source is in electric communication with said first conductive electrode and said second conductive electrode, wherein said first conductive electrode and said second conductive electrode are arranged such that they are both capable of being in ionic communication with a carrier upon the inclusion of said carrier to said reservoir; and the use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention features a stratum corneum-piercing device including a microprotrusion member having a skin-contacting surface and plurality of stratum corneum piercing microprotrusions thereon, the device being adapted to move the microprotrusion member lateral to the surface of the skin surface upon contact with the skin.

Abstract: The present invention features a product including a water-insoluble substrate and a plurality of microcapsules comprising a microcapsule wall surrounding a liquid core, and the use thereof.

Abstract: A rehydratable personal care composition including: from about 1 to about 20 percent water, from about 1 to about 20 percent organic solvent, from about 0.5 to about 50 percent gelling agent, and from about 0.1 to about 5 percent gelling cation, based on the total weight of the composition is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a product including a first water insoluble substrate and a second water insoluble substrate, wherein (a) the first water insoluble substrate and the second water insoluble substrate are of different shape; (b) the first water insoluble substrate comprises a first active agent; and (c) the second water insoluble substrate includes a second active agent but does not include the first active agent.
