Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0069408A1] The present invention relates to various methods for regulating the condition of mammalian keratinous tissue wherein the methods comprise the step of topically applying to the keratinous tissue of a mammal in need of such treatment a safe and effective amount of a composition comprising: a) a safe and effective amount of a repair agent consisting essentially of a xanthine compound selected from the group consisting of theophylline, theobromine, and combinations thereof; and b) a dermatologically acceptable carrier for the repair agent. In particular embodiments, such compositions or modified versions thereof are suitable for regulating visible and/or tactile discontinuities in the texture of mammalian skin, preventing and/or retarding the appearance of spider vessels and/or red blotchiness on mammalian skin, preventing and/or retarding the appearance of dark circles under the eye of a mammal as well as their puffy eyes, desquamating mammalian skin, preventing and/or retarding sallowness of mammalian skin, preventing and/or retarding sagging of mammalian skin, softening and/or smoothing lips, hair and nails of a mammal, and preventing and/or relieving itch of mammalian skin.
