Abstract
The present invention provides a cosmetic composition for inhibiting or improving seborrhea and a pharmaceutical composition for preventing, improving or treating seborrhea, each composition comprising a specific peptide as an active ingredient. The peptide remarkably decreases the interaction between p53 and MDM2 and thus remarkably increases the interaction between p53 and RNA Polymerase II (POLII), thereby being able to induce expressions of the cytokines that cause apoptosis of sebocytes.
