Abstract: Dermatological/cosmetic gel compositions suited for preventing or treating cell differentiation and/or proliferation and/or keratinization disorders, including preventing or treating common acne, comprise (i) at least one retinoid, (ii) dispersed benzoyl peroxide and (iii) at least one pH-independent gelling agent, formulated into (iv) a physiologically acceptable medium therefor.

Abstract: Stable, topically applicable oil-in-water bioaffecting emulsions having intermediate viscosity, characteristically ranging from 3 to 10 Pa.multidot.s, comprise (a) from 30% to 50% by weight of at least one pro-penetrating glycol, (b) at least one emulsifying agent, advantageously an anionic amphiphilic polymer, and (c) at least one biologically active agent, for example an active agent that modulates skin differentiation and/or proliferation and/or pigmentation, an anti-inflammatory, an antibacterial, an antifungal, etc.

Abstract: Topically applicable cosmetic/dermatological compositions well suited for the therapeutic treatment or care of human skin, nails, hair and/or of the scalp, in particular for treating and/or preventing xerosis, ichthyosis, actinic keratosis and/or photoinduced cutaneous aging, comprise a water-in-oil emulsion containing (a) at least 10% by weight of at least one hydroxy acid, (b) an effective emulsifying amount of at least one polyoxyalkylenated silicone, and (c) an effective coemulsifying amount of at least one polyol alkyl ester, polyol alkyl ether or oxyalkylenated alkyl ether, with the proviso that the subject compositions are devoid of any C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkanol.
