Skin treatment with salicylic acid esters and retinoids

摘要

A method and composition is provided for treating skin conditions including those arising from dermatologic disorders, chronoaging and environmental abuse. Non-ring esterified C11-C30 alkyl or alkenyl esters of salicylic acid in combination with a retinol C18-C30 fatty acid ester used as the active components are applied to the skin in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Most preferred as the salicylate ester is tridecyl salicylate and as the retinol fatty acid ester is retinyl linoleate.
