Abstract: Disclosed are personal cleansing compositions, and corresponding methods of application, wherein the compositions comprise (A) a cleansing phase containing a cleansing surfactant and water; and (B) an active phase containing lipophilic carrier and preferably a skin active agent; wherein the cleansing and active phases are physically separated from one another by one or more packaging barriers, located in the same or separate packages. Preferred embodiments are further defined by selected lipophilic carrier rheologies, defined active phase particulates for improved skin feel, and selected chronic skin active agents for use in the active phase. These compositions and corresponding methods provide improved cosmetics, skin feel, and/or skin active efficacy.
