Abstract
This invention discloses use of superoxide dismutase (SOD) as an agent for the protection of the skin against inflammatory reactions associated with chemical irritation and acne. Topical application of SOD in a formulation attenuates dermal injury associated with the induction of reactive oxygen species by a wide variety of chemical irritants, associated with inflammation, and associated with acne.
