Abstract

The invention relates to a cosmetic or dermatological composition containing at least one active principle precursor capable of releasing an active principle by enzymatic reaction on contact with the Stratum corneum and at least one crosslinked poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulphonic acid) polymer neutralized to at least 90% and to its uses. It generally contains, distributed randomly: (a) from 90 to 99.9% by weight of units of formula (1): ##STR1## in which X.sup.+ denotes a cation or a mixture of cations, it being possible for at most 10 mol % of the cations X.sup.+ to be protons H.sup.+ ; and (b) from 0.01 to 10% by weight of crosslinking units resulting from at least one monomer having at least two olefinic double bonds, the proportions by weight being defined with respect to the total weight of the polymer.
