Abstract

The invention concerns cosmetic agents containing compounds of the general formula (I) ##STR1## in which R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 represent independently of one another a hydrogen atom, an intermediate alkyl group with 3 to 10 carbon atoms, a halogen atom, preferably a chlorine atom, a hydroxy group, an aryl group, an alkoxy group with 1 to 20 carbon atoms, substituted, if needed, with aryl, hydroxy, amino, alkoxy as well as aryloxy groups, or a carboxyl group esterified with an intermediate-chain alkyl group with 2 to 12 carbon atoms or with an aralkyl group, or two of the radicals R.sup.1 --R.sup.3 represent a naphthalene ring together with the benzene ring, and Y stands for an alkoxy group with 1 to 12 carbon atoms or an aralkoxy group. The compounds are used in amounts of 0.01 to 20, preferably 1 to 10, percent by weight, calculated with regard to the total preparation.
