The present invention provides methods for treating or preventing various dermatological conditions in humans, such as dry, cracked or damaged skin resulting from exposure to sunlight (ultraviolet radiation) and wind, aging effects, general skin dryness, e.g., deficient moisture content, and mild acne. These methods comprise applying an effective amount of a composition to the affected target area, the composition comprising a retinyl palmitate-polypeptide complex of apparent molecular weight of from about 5,000 to about 7,000 daltons, and an isoprenoid compound, e.g., a carotenoid such as beta-carotene.
