Combination of monosaccharides with ascorbic acid and use thereof

摘要

Composition containing a combination of at least one monosaccharide chosen from mannose, rhamnose and a mixture thereof, and of at least one additional compound chosen from ascorbic acid, an analogue thereof and a mixture thereof. The present invention also relates to the use of such a composition for combating the signs of ageing, and also to a device containing the composition.

主权项

1. A method, comprising applying to the skin or its integuments a composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, a combination of the following two active agents: 1) at least one monosaccharide, wherein the monosaccharide is rhamnose, and wherein the at least one monosaccharide is present as a monomer, and 2) at least one additional compound selected from the group consisting of ascorbic acid, an ascorbic acid salt, the acetic ester of ascorbic acid, a saccharide ester of ascorbic acid, and a metal salt of phosphoryl ascorbic acid, and in which the amount of the monosaccharide(s) is 0.4%-30% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, wherein said method is a method for at least one selected from the group consisting of:
reducing the signs of ageing of skin, and reducing wrinkles and/or fine lines, and wherein said composition is applied to human skin in need thereof in an amount effective to increase an epidermal lipid profile by modifying lipogenesis and to increase synthesis of collagen VI and/or collagen XII.
