Skin care science from multiple perspectives is examined in research presented by P&G Beauty & Grooming scientists at the 68th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology. It offers insights into how ingredient formulations, care regimens and gene expressions impact skin condition. Eleven studies are on display, discussing a wide range of topics, including lipid metabolism pathways in the stratum corneum, skin elasticity and male shaving regimens.

"This year, P&G Beauty & Grooming is presenting a diverse research portfolio covering topics such as male and female skin condition, whole body anti-aging treatments and skin care genomics," said Emma Kohring, Global Director, P&G Beauty & Grooming Science. "The 2010 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting is the ideal venue for P&G Beauty & Grooming scientists to share their research and discuss the findings with leaders in the world of dermatology."

The following research summaries are just a sample of the P&G Beauty & Grooming science that will be shared at the AAD Annual Meeting.

The factors that accelerate skin aging are both intrinsic, such as free radicals, and extrinsic, such as UV exposure. In both intrinsically and extrinsically aged skin, there is a down-regulation of the gene expression involved in stratum corneum (the outer layer of the skin) lipid biosynthesis and metabolism, resulting in decreased levels of key lipids available for maintenance and repair.
