Abstract
Disclosed are topical compositions which are useful for providing essentially immediate improvements in skin appearance, e.g., good coverage of skin imperfections, e.g., pores and uneven skin tone, in addition to chronic improvements in skin appearance, while retaining a natural skin appearance. The compositions contain a particulate material having a refractive index of at least about 2, e.g., TiO2, and an active for regulating skin condition following multiple topical applications of the composition. Preferred actives include Vitamin B3 compounds and retinoids.
