ANTIMUTAGENIC TOPICAL COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING A SOURCE OF DEOXYRIBONUCLEOSIDE AND A PENETRATION ENHANCER FOR TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF DAMAGE TO SKIN

摘要

A method of improving DNA repair and reducing DNA damage and for reducing mutation frequency in skin for the purpose of reducing consequences of exposure to solar or ultraviolet radiation is disclosed. The methods comprise administering to the skin a composition containing deoxyribonucleosides in concentrations sufficient to enhance DNA repair or reduce mutation frequency in a vehicle capable of delivering effective amounts of deoxyribonucleosides to the necessary skin cells.
