- 22. The method of claim 11, where the natural rate of skin exfoliation is accelerated by at least 20% and sting % is reduced by at least 50% in relation to that achieved with an exfoliating acid having a pKa of 4.0 and below.
- 23. The method of claim 11 where the composition is formulated as a solution, gel, lotion, cream, or ointment.
- 24. The method of claim 11 where the topical application is on at least a daily basis.
- 25. A method of improving the texture of mammalian skin comprising topically applying to the skin a composition comprising from 0.05% to about 30% of a water-soluble Vitamin E derivative selected from the group consisting of Sodium Vitamin E Phosphate, Lauryl Imino Dipropionic Acid Tocopheryl Phosphate, Tocopheryl Glucoside, Tocopheryl Succinate, Tocophersolan (Tocopheryl Polyethylene Glycol 1000 Succinate), Vitamin E derivatives having beta-alanine functionality, Tocophereth-5,10,12,18, and 50, and mixtures thereof and a carrier comprising water, where the composition has a pH from about 4.5 to 9.
- 26. The method of claim 25, where the Vitamin E derivative having beta-alanine functionality includes a Disodium Lauriminodipropionate Tocopheryl Phosphate.
- 27. The method of claim 25, where the composition has a pH from 5.6 to 7.9.
- 28. The method of claim 25, where the natural rate of skin exfoliation is accelerated by at least 15%.
- 29. The method of claim 25, where sting % is reduced by at least 25% in relation to that achieved with an exfoliating acid having a pKa of 4.0 and below.
- 30. The method of claim 25 where the composition is formulated as a solution, gel, lotion, cream, or ointment.
- 31. A method of refinishing mammalian skin comprising topically applying to the skin a composition comprising from 0.05% to about 30% of a water-soluble Vitamin E derivative selected from the group consisting of Sodium Vitamin E Phosphate, Lauryl Imino Dipropionic Acid Tocopheryl Phosphate, Tocopheryl Glucoside, Tocopheryl Succinate, Tocophersolan (Tocopheryl Polyethylene Glycol 1000 Succinate), Vitamin E derivatives having beta-alanine functionality, Tocophereth-5,10,12,18, and 50, and mixtures thereof and a carrier comprising water, where the composition has a pH from about 4.5 to 9.
