TOPICAL COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING DERRIS SCANDENS BENTH. AND A METHOD OF TREATING SKIN

摘要

Topical compositions and methods of use to treat symptoms of reduced skin elasticity are provided comprising extracts of a Derris scandens Benth. plant. These compositions are effective in stimulating LOXL-1 activity, inhibiting calcineurin activity, and stimulating glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin cells and can thus reduce age-related skin damage and improve appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin sagging and other symptoms of skin aging and/or skin damage.
