Abstract
A skin treatment regimen for delivery of a rinse-off personal skin care composition is provided. The rinse-off personal skin care composition includes varying ratios of a lathering agent to a hydrophobic benefit agent. The rinse-off personal skin care composition can be applied to skin of a user in phases over and/or in a treatment cycle. Each of the phases of the treatment cycle can include a ratio of the varying ratios that can be different such as higher or lower than a ratio of adjacent phase.
Claims114
A skin treatment regimen for delivery of a rinse-off personal skin care composition, the regimen comprising:
- application of the composition to skin of a user in phases over a treatment cycle, wherein the composition comprises varying ratios of a lathering agent to a hydrophobic benefit agent, the treatment cycle comprising
- a first phase comprising a first ratio of the varying ratios,
- an intermediate phase comprising a second ratio of the varying ratios that is lower than the first ratio, and
- a final phase comprising a third ratio of the varying ratios that is higher than the intermediate phase.
A skin treatment regimen for delivery of a rinse-off personal skin care composition, the regimen comprising:
- application of the composition to skin of a user in a treatment cycle, wherein the composition comprises varying ratios of a hydrophobic benefit agent to lathering agent, the treatment cycle comprising:
- a first phase wherein the ratio of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent is high,
- an intermediate phase wherein the ratio of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent is low, and
- a final phase wherein the ratio of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent is high.
A skin treatment regimen for delivery of a rinse-off personal skin care composition, the regimen comprising:
- application of the composition to skin of a user in phases over a treatment cycle, wherein the composition comprises varying ratios of a lathering agent to a hydrophobic benefit agent, the treatment cycle comprising
- a first phase wherein the ratio of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent is high,
- an intermediate phase wherein the ratio of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent is low, and
- a final phase wherein the ratio of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent is high.
A regimen for sustaining consumer use of a cosmetic treatment for skin, the regimen comprising:
- application of the composition to a user's skin in a treatment cycle, wherein the composition is a rinse-off personal skin care composition formulated to comprise varying ratios of an hydrophobic benefit agent to a lathering agent, the treatment cycle comprising
- a first phase wherein the ratio of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent is high and provides a relatively appealing sensation to the consumer,
- an intermediate phase wherein the ratio of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent is low and provides a relatively less appealing sensation to the consumer, and
- a final phase wherein the ratio of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent is high and provides a relatively appealing sensation to the consumer.
A regimen for skin cleansing and conditioning, comprising:
- dispensing from a personal care article a personal care composition that comprises a lathering agent and a hydrophobic benefit agent, wherein the article operates to dispense the composition in aliquots, and wherein the ratio of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent varies in successively dispensed aliquots of the composition over the course of dispensing the article contents such that the amount of hydrophobic benefit agent in two or more successive aliquots is different, and
- applying a first aliquot of the personal care composition to a user's skin together with water, wherein the lathering agent provides lather when contacted on the user's skin with water and
- rinsing the personal care composition from the user's skin, wherein a portion of the hydrophobic benefit agent is deposited and remains on the user's skin after rinsing.
A regimen for maintaining the quality of skin with a rinse-off personal care composition, the regimen comprising:
- applying the composition to a user's skin on a daily basis for a period of days, wherein the composition is a rinse-off personal skin care composition comprising a hydrophobic benefit agent and a lathering agent, and wherein the ratio of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent varies over the period of application, the period of days of application comprising, in any order:
- a premium experience phase wherein the ratio of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent is high, the premium experience phase characterized by maximal delivery of lather and scent, and
- a conditioning phase wherein the ratio of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent is low, the conditioning phase characterized by maximal hydrophobic benefit agent deposition.
A skin treatment regimen for delivery of a rinse-off personal skin care composition, the regimen comprising:
- providing the composition to a user in discreet aliquots of approximately equal volume;
- wherein the composition is formulated to comprise varying ratios of lathering agent to hydrophobic benefit agent;
- applying the provided composition to skin of the user in a treatment cycle comprising at least a first phase during which the composition comprises a first of the varying ratios, and a second phase during which the composition comprises a second of the varying ratios, the second ratio lower than the first ratio.
