Described herein are methods and compositions for increasing the efficacy and decreasing the irritancy of topical formulations of hydroquinone.

Stable, non-irritating topical formulations of hydroquinone

Described herein are methods and compositions for increasing dermal concentrations of glycosaminoglycans (GAG), including hyaluronic acid. Exemplary methods involve a one-step protocol and a three-step protocol. Either method can be used over a 90-day treatment period.

Topical formulations for increasing the dermal concentration of hyaluronic acid

Described herein are high oil-content emulsions and compositions for the treatment of inflammatory skin disorders. The emulsions may be formulated as aerosol compositions. The aerosol propellant may be a hydrofluoroalkane propellant. The emulsions or compositions may comprise active agents, such as corticosteroids. Also described are methods of treating inflammatory skin disorders, comprising the step of applying to an affected area of a subject in need thereof a therapeutically-effective amount of an inventive emulsion or aerosol composition.

High oil-content emollient aerosol foam compositions

A stable topical alcohol-free aerosol foam containing one or more keratolytic agents is provided. The foam-forming formulation is an oil-in-water emulsion which contains one or more hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) propellants and one or more keratolytic agents. The keratolytic agent may be present in either phase of the emulsion or dispersed in the emulsion. The oil phase may consist at least in part of the HFA propellant. The foam is stable on the skin for at least 5 minutes at body temperature and disappears into the skin upon rubbing or after prolonged standing. The formulations may not contain additional co-solvents or non-HFA co-propellants. The formulations demonstrate reduced intensity of the odor and/or color associated with the keratolytic agent(s) as compared to conventional formulations containing keratolytic agents.

Topical pharmaceutical foam composition

Described herein are emulsions and compositions for the treatment of various dermatoses. The emulsions may be formulated as aerosol compositions. The aerosol propellant may be a hydrofluoroalkane propellant. Also described are methods of treating dermatoses, comprising the step of applying to an affected area of a subject in need thereof a therapeutically-effective amount of an inventive emulsion or aerosol composition. The dermatosis may be seborrheic dermatitis.
