This invention covers a composition for forming an applique for cleaning or treating skin comprising a lower alcohol or alcohol/water solvent in which is dissolved between 0.1 to 20 % by weight/volume of a polymer consisting essentially of a non-acrylate pre-polymerized high molecular weight, dermatologically acceptable, adhesive polymer. The cleansing is accomplished by applying the formulation to skin as an applique, drying the applique, contacting the dried applique with an adhesive tape type material which bonds with the applique, and then pulling the applique/tape away from the skin. These skin cleansers are based on certain naturally occurring and synthetic polymers which are soluble in simple alcohols, or simple alcohol and water mixtures. It has been found that the selected polymers remove surface and follicular debris when formulated and applied without additives which modify their native configuration. Adding polymerizing agents or cross-linkers to the selected polymers reduces the capacity of these appliques to effectively remove soil. Thus polymers are pre-formed, that is they are not presented as monomers and cross-linked when applied to the skin. |
