Abstract
A topical composition comprising LYCD together with known topically active useful medicinal agents such as anti-wrinkling, antibiotic, anticancer, antifungal, antiinflammatory such as anti-acne, antiviral, wound healing, and hair-growing agents. The LYCD works together with the other active agents to achieve a synergistic result more effective than can be obtained from the topical agents individually, and more effective than could be predicted from the mere addition of the known efficacies of the individual ingredients.
