Use of lipophilic antioxidant compounds to prevent retinoid induced, uva-mediated oxidative reactions

摘要

The invention relates to means and methods of topically applying a retinoid to mammalian skin that reduces or eliminates retinoid induced, ultraviolet A-mediated oxidative effects. The method comprises topically applying to the skin a retinoid composition that contains an effective amount of said retinoid and an effective amount of a lipophilic antioxidant.
