and (ii) acrylic or methacrylic acid in an amount sufficient to crosslink the epoxy or oxirane repeat units. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the silicone copolymer is Polyacrylate crosspolymer-7. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the composition contains at least one additional moisturizer that improves moisturization of the composition and improves or maintains the same de-glossing when compared to the composition not containing the additional moisturizer. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the composition further comprises at least one botanical extract. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the composition additionally comprises at least one silicone elastomer. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8 wherein the silicone elastomer improves de-glossing of the composition when compared to the same composition not containing the silicone elastomer. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the composition is applied to skin once or twice per day. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the composition is in the form of a skin cream, lotion, beauty balm, foundation, or concealer. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11 wherein the composition is in the form of a skin cream. ### Claim 13 A method for reducing the size of pores on skin by topically applying to a skin surface having enlarged pores a composition containing a Polymer wherein the composition containing the Polymer reduces the size of skin pores when compared to the same composition not containing the Polymer. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13 wherein the composition comprises a Polyacrylate crosspolymer. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14 wherein the composition additionally comprises at least one fluorinated compound. ### Claim 16 A method for reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles on skin by topically applying a composition comprising at least one Polymer to skin having lines and wrinkles in need of improvement. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16 wherein the Polymer comprises a Polyacrylate crosspolymer. ### Claim 18 A method for treating skin to provide at least two benefits selected from the group: (a) moisturizing, (b) blurring the appearance of skin defects, (c) reducing pore size, (d) improving the appearance of dark under eye circles, (e) reducing skin redness (e.g. due to rosacea), (f) minimizing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, (g) evening skin tone, (h) filling skin depressions, (i) hiding scars, (j) smoothing cellulite or “cottage cheese” skin, (k) reducing the ashy appearance of ethnic skin, (l) minimizing the appearance of irregularities and age spots on hands, face, and neck, (m) improving appearance of uneven pigmentation, (n) correcting color (e.g. reducing yellow or red skin tone); and combinations thereof by applying a topical composition containing a Polymer to skin in need of improvement in two or more of the benefits selected. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18 wherein the Polymer is a Polyacrylate crosspolymer. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18 wherein the composition provides at least three, four, or five benefits.
