Claims12
A method for improving selective catabolysis in skin cells by topically applying to skin cells in need thereof a composition comprising an autophagy activator in the form of Candida saitoana extract, present in amounts ranging from 0.0001 to 5% by weight of the total composition, and a proteasome activator in the form of hydrolyzed algin, present in amounts ranging from 0.0001 to 0.01% by weight of the total composition;
- wherein the autophagy activator and the proteasome activator in combination are characterized by showing an increase in cellular health and viability when exposed to dermal fibroblasts in vitro when compared to the cellular health and viability of the autophagy activator alone and the proteasome activator alone.
