The present invention relates to acne and rosacea compositions by a six-prong synergistic combination treatment strategy that includes (1) control of excess sebum production, (2) control of undesirable bacteria or mites, (3) control of inflammation, (4) enhanced desquamation of follicular infundibulum cells, (5) reduction of irritation from anti-acne or rosacea compositions themselves, and (6) enhancement of the topical bioavailability of anti-acne and rosacea compositions. This is achieved by a synergistic combination of commonly utilized topical anti-acne and rosacea ingredients with a topical bioavailability enhancement composition, which results in enhanced anti-acne and rosacea action from such ingredients. Moreover, additional inclusion of an anti-inflammatory composition, and also a vascular micro-circulation enhancement composition, further results in synergistic superior anti-acne and rosacea benefits from such compositions. The present invention discloses additional surprising synergistic combinations for the control of acne and rosacea that are suitable for a variety of delivery systems and packaging forms.

The present invention discloses the utilization of zeolites for controlled-release of cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions by nano-diffusion technology. The treatment and protection of skin surface requires that certain compositions be delivered to the skin surface and allowed to remain on the skin surface for as long as possible before such ingredients are absorbed into deeper layers of skin and carried into the bloodstream. Zeolites do not absorb into the skin, which is useful for topical delivery of cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions, for example antiaging, anti-wrinkle, antioxidants, skin whitening, acne treatment, rosacea treatment, sun screens, UV blocks, anesthetics, skin soothers, anti-irritants, anti-inflammatory agents, vitamins, hormones, and such that are electronically attached to the outer surfaces of such zeolites and are released to the outer surface of skin by a diffusion-controlled thermodynamic process.

Method and device for treatment of skin conditions A method and apparatus for improving the cosmetic appearance of a region of skin 11 affected by Acne Vulgaris, Rosacea or similar skin condition by means of directing light radiation 12 from an illuminating device 1 on to the skin 11. The apparatus 10 comprises a control unit 9 that operates one or more LEDs 7 (light emitting diodes) of the illuminating device 1. Each dose of light radiation 12 lasts for at least 100 ms, during which time the skin 11 receives light energy from the LED(s) 7, which causes a photochemical reaction that stimulates the production of free radicals (singlet oxygen) that react with, and at least partially disable or destroy, bacteria that contribute to the symptoms of the skin condition. The light energy directed on to the skin 11 during any given period of 10 μs is less than 0.5 Jcm−2, and during any given period of 100 ms is less than 5 Jcm−2. Substantially no beneficial photo-thermal reaction occurs within the skin 11. Light having wavelengths around 405 nm and / or 585 nm is used. The duration of a single dose may be much longer than 100 ms and can last up to 10 hours (for overnight treatment).

This invention relates to in-situ preparation of the derivatives of various hydroxy acids (HA), such as alpha-(Alpha) Hydroxy Acids (AHA), beta-(Beta) Hydroxy Acids (BHA), and Poly-Hydroxy Acids (PHA) with certain skin beneficial organic hetero-atom bases and their application in skin resurfacing (exfoliation), and in the synergistic treatment and regulation of topical disorders of skin such as skin aging, wrinkles, acne, rosacea, age-spots, canker sores, striae distensae (stretch marks), pimples, skin redness, and dry skin conditions of cracking, flaking, and scaling. Most HA derivatives produced by the in-situ method do not cause skin irritation and skin redness effects that are commonly experienced with AHA and BHA, yet there is no loss of their skin beneficial effects. These compositions can be traditional water and oil emulsions, liposomes, suspensions, colloids, solutions, masks, muds, serums, sprays, gels, lotions, creams, cleansers, and anhydrous systems, thus offering a wide choice of formulations to meet their consumer appeal and acceptance requirements.
