Abstract
Compositions containing hydroxy acids and/or retinoids and further containing borage seed oil as an anti-irritant. Borage seed oil was found to be uniquely effective (when compared to gamma-linolenic acid, or other anti-irritants containing gamma-linolenic acid or other known anti-irritants) in reducing the irritation caused by hydroxy acids and/or retinoids.
