A composition is provided that has a viscosity of less than about 15,000 cP and a pH of about 3.0 to 9.0 for treating a skin disorder in a human subject. The composition consists essentially of (a) a therapeutically-effective amount of at least one compound useful for treating such disorder, (b) a pharmaceutically-acceptable, lightly cross-linked polyacrylic acid polymer compatible with the compound, (c) optionally a water miscible solvent, (d) optionally a preservative, (e) optionally an oil phase component and suitable surfactant, and (f) water. The composition is useful for treating an inflammatory skin disorder, acne, or rosacea. The low viscosity composition has an advantage of being administered more accurately when combined with a container that administers the composition as drops.
A topical aqueous gel composition having a pH of about 3 to about 9 and a viscosity of less than about 15,000 cP for treating a skin disorder in a human subject, which composition consists essentially of
A method for treating a skin disorder in a human subject, which method comprises topically administering an aqueous gel composition having a pH of about 3 to about 9 and a viscosity of less than about 15,000 cP to an affected area of the subject's skin having such disorder in an amount and for a period of time sufficient to improve the skin disorder, wherein the composition consists essentially of
