摘要:
Methods of identifying potential skin moisturizing actives for the treatment of dry skin and method of formulating a moisturizing skin care composition using actives identified by the method. Moisturizing agents can be identified by comparing the transcriptional profile of a skin tissue sample contacted by a test agent to a negative or positive control to determine if the regulation of certain genes corresponds to the appropriate direction of regulation indicated by the control. Agents identified as skin moisturizing agents can then be incorporated into a skin moisturizing composition.
摘要:
Gene panels, microarrays and biomarker panels relating to genes and gene products associated with age-related oxidative damage to skin, and transcriptional profiling-based methods for identification and evaluation of cosmetic agents for prevention, reversal, or reduction of oxidative damage to skin. Cosmetic agents and compositions comprising the cosmetic agents, capable of inducing nrf2-mediated activation of the antioxidant response element to increase expression of Phase 2 enzymes, methods for restoring optimal redox status to skin employing the agents, and methods for identifying and evaluating cosmetic agents acting via the nrf2-mediated mechanism.
