Abstract: The methods described herein provide self-assembling macromolecular networks within the human skin. The methods provide instant and accumulation-based physical properties within the skin, causing cosmetic benefits including, bulking/plumping, filling, strengthening, smoothing, firming, and lifting, as well as enhancing the optical properties, radiance and other cosmetic appearance characteristics of the skin. The disclosure also provides a method of re-structuring the skin without cellular biogenesis by effecting macrostructures within the skin. The method comprising effectuating self-assembly within the skin layers by topically applying a composition comprising at least one self-assembly material to form functional macrostructures within the skin and effectuating self-assembly of the at least one self-assembly material in vivo while substantially preventing self-assembly prior to the topical application or treatment.

Abstract: A watery lotion composition for topical application to skin comprising at least one extract from the fermentation of the microorganism Bifidobacterium, at least one extract from the fermentation of the microorganism Lactobacillus, and mineral water having at least 250 ppm of total mineral dissolved solids and a method for improving the efficacy of a watery lotion and/or a second skin care product by layering the products on the skin.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition comprising a ferment from a fermentation mixture comprising at least one prebiotic active ingredient, a structured water component, and at least one probiotic microorganism is disclosed. The ferment may further comprise at least one cosmetic active ingredient. A method of increasing collagen production of the skin by applying the cosmetic composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of measuring an endogenous wrinkle electric field and methods of characterizing topical applications, or other treatments, in terms of their effect on the endogenous electric field of wrinkles. Also included, are methods of developing topical applications, or other treatments that have a desired effect on the endogenous electric field of a wrinkle. The methods disclosed herein, are based on a new model of wrinkle physiology that exploits previously unknown similarities between skin wounds and wrinkles.
