Abstract: Method for regulating the condition of mammalian skin comprising the steps of applying a first personal care composition to an area of skin where regulation is desired, wherein the first personal care composition comprises at least one skin care active selected from the group consisting of niacinamide, salicylic acid, peptides, N-acetyl glucosamine, panthenol, butylated hydroxytoluene, N-acyl amino acid compounds, hexamidine, green tea, ascorbyl glucoside, hexanediol, pentanediol, a skin lightening agent, a heat shock protein potentiator, and mixtures thereof, and delivering energy to the area of skin by contacting the skin with an energy delivery device for a treatment period of at least 2½ minutes, wherein the energy delivery device comprises a skin-contacting surface that is controllably heatable to a temperature of from 37° C. to 50° C.

Abstract: Method for providing a benefit to mammalian keratinous tissue, comprising applying a composition comprising one or more hair growth regulating compounds to the keratinous tissue and delivering energy to the keratinous tissue by means of an energy delivery device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a topical skin care composition containing a safe and effective amount of a skin care active comprising agmatine, and its salt; a safe and effective amount of a first additional skin care active selected from the group consisting of BHT or BHA, hexamidine, cetyl pyridinium chloride, green tea catechins, phytosterols, ursolic acid, compounds derived from plant extracts, their salts and derivatives; and a dermatologically acceptable carrier for the agmatine composition. The present invention also relates to methods of using such agmatine compositions to regulate hair growth and the condition of mammalian skin. Said methods generally comprise the step of topically applying the composition to the skin of a mammal needing such treatment, a safe and effective amount of such compositions.

Abstract: Personal care compositions comprising at least one chronic skin care active selected from the group consisting of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), hexamidine, hexyl isobutyrate, menthyl anthranilate, methofuran, 3-butylidenepthalide, cetyl pyridinium chloride, green tea extract, catechins, phytosterols, ursolic acid, and plant extract compounds; at least one acute skin care active selected from the group consisting of particulate materials (including particles, pigments, and cross-linked silicone elastomers), panthenol, pantothenic acid derivatives, and tanning actives; and a dermatologically acceptable carrier. The composition can also comprise the cationic thickener, Polyquatemium 37. The present invention also relates to methods of using such compositions to regulate hair growth and the condition of mammalian skin.
