Abstract: The present invention provides novel methods for repairing or reducing skin changes as well as systems, regimens, and cosmetic compositions thereof. The invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising electrospun polymer fibers, at least one active ingredient, and at least one cosmetically acceptable carrier is provided, wherein the electrospun fibers are dispersed in the composition. The composition is in form of a solution, suspension, lotion, cream, gel, emulsion, toner, ointment, paste, foam, hydrogel, film-forming product, or facial skin mask. The composition comprises at least one active ingredient and further comprises antioxidants, moisturizers, surfactants, or humectants.

Abstract: A topical composition comprising a Polymer, a high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HWM HA) and/or its salt, a low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (LWM HA) and/or its salt, and a polyamino acid and/or its salt; and water and a method for identifying a test polymer that forms a micro-mesh structure when combined with such ingredients.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel methods for repairing or reducing skin changes as well as systems and cosmetic compositions thereof. A method for reducing the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, or sagginess in the periorbital area of a subject's skin, comprising topically applying a composition comprising electrospun fibers to the subject's skin in need thereof is provided. The method further causes firming or tightening of the skin around the periorbital area of the subject. The composition provided herein is substantially free of active ingredients or devoid of active ingredients.

Abstract: A method of stabilizing riboflavin by affixing the riboflavin to at least one substrate for the riboflavin by covalent bonding, hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals forces, or a combination thereof, to form an optically-activated complex, is provided. When activated by absorption of light in the ultraviolet (UV) to visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum the riboflavin in the complex re-emits light of longer wavelength in the blue-green-yellow region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Abstract: Optically-activated systems and methods for reducing the appearance of dark under eye circles are provided. The systems comprise a complex of a fluorescent compound and a substrate for the fluorescent compound which are affixed to one another by covalent bonding, hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals forces, or a combination thereof. After absorption of ambient light, the fluorescent compound in the complex re-emits visible light of longer wavelength. The re-emitted light provides an illuminating radiant effect and is particularly useful in improving the appearance of skin imperfections.
