WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/053687
Publication date: April 7, 2016
Assignee: The Estée Lauder Companies Management, LLC
Described in this patent application is a facial treatment delivery system. It uses skin care benefit agents and iontophoresis in micro-current zones to treat multiple targeted areas of concern. The system includes a sheet substrate with said skin care agents and a reduction agent, in addition to a separate activating cream with an oxidation agent.
The activating cream is applied to the skin, followed by the sheet substrate. The combined reduction agent of the sheet substrate and the oxidation agent of the activating cream cause a redox reaction to generate microcurrent. This current facilitates the delivery of skin benefit agents from the sheet by iontophoresis, or can directly affect other treatments by delivering iontophoresis microcurrent to the skin.
