5 1. METHOD AND COMPOSITIONS FOR REDUCING PORE SIZE, AND MOISTURIZING AND/OR BLURRING APPEARANCE OF DEFECTS ON KERATIN SURFACES CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority from Provisional U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 61/675,389 filed Jul., TECHNICAL FIELD The invention is the in the field of methods for reducing pore size, moisturizing and optically improving the appear ance of keratin Surfaces such as skin, hair, or nails with certain polymers and polymer compositions. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION There is a need for skin care products that have multiple benefits. Desirable multiple benefits include moisturizing, minimizing or blurring the appearance of skin defects, reduc ing pore size, improving the appearance of dark under eye circles, reducing skin redness (e.g. due to rosacea), minimiz ing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, evening skin tone, filling skin depressions, hiding scars, Smoothing cellulite or "cottage cheese'skin, reducing the ashy appearance of ethnic skin, irregularities and age spots on hands, face, and neck, improving appearance of uneven pigmentation, correcting color (e.g. reducing yellow or red skin tone) and so on. For example, in the moisturizer category there are many on the market. However, the aesthetics of those products is not always optimal. For example, products that moisturize well may also be too occlusive and provide a heavy or Sticky feel on the skin. This in turn may cause blemishes in those with sensitive skin. Often moisturizers provide a shiny appearance on skin, which in turn accentuates the appearance of skin defects. Thus, skin care products that provide optimal mois turization of skin and are aesthetically pleasing are always in demand. Another desirable property of skin care products is their ability to improve the appearance of skin defects inherently, that is, preferably without using pigments or powders known for this purpose. One way to blur skin defects is by reducing the gloss in the compositions applied to skin. Skin defects are much more visible on skin that is glossy in appearance, in the same way that scratches are most easily seen on wooden floors varnished with a high gloss finish. Often the ingredients present in a formula that are the best moisturizers tend to be glossy or contribute gloss to the overall composition. Accord ingly, there is a need for compositions that provide maximum moisture with minimum gloss. In addition, products that reduce the size of pores are very desirable to consumers. Pore size reduction can occur by topical application of ingredients that physically act on the pore to reduce its size, or which, through optical properties provide the appearance of reduced pore size. An object of the invention is to provide compositions that moisturize skin. Another object of the invention is to provide compositions that have multiple benefits including benefits such moistur izing, minimizing or blurring the appearance of skin defects, reducing pore size, improving the appearance of dark under eye circles, reducing skin redness (e.g. due to rosacea), mini mizing lines and wrinkles, evening skin tone, filling skin 2 depressions, hiding Scars, Smoothing cellulite or cottage cheese skin, reducing the ashy appearance of ethnic skin, irregularities and age spots on hands, face, and neck, improv ing appearance of uneven pigmentation, correcting color (e.g. reducing yellow or red skin tone) and so on. Another object of the invention is to provide compositions that optically blur the appearance of skin defects such as depressions, irregularities, uneven skin tone, etc. which may be by de-glossing, and which can occur without the use of particulates traditionally used for this purpose. Another object of the invention is to provide compositions that reduce the appearance of pores. Another object of the invention is to provide a method for moisturizing and/or blurring or minimizing the appearance of defects on keratinous Surfaces such as skin, hair, or nails. Improving the appearance of hands is particularly desired since hands often show age that is less treatable than other areas of the face or body. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A method for simultaneously moisturizing a keratin Sur face and/or blurring the appearance of defects, preferably by de-glossing the keratin Surface, comprising topically apply ing to a Surface in need of moisturization and/or having Such defects, a composition containing a Polymer (as defined below) wherein the composition containing the Polymer exhibits improved moisturization and de-glossing when com pared to the same composition not containing the Polymer.

Silicone elastomers that are suitable de-glossing ingredi ents for use in the compositions of the invention include those that are formed by addition reaction-curing, by reacting an SiH-containing diorganosiloxane and an organopolysiloxane having terminal olefinic unsaturation, or an alpha-omega diene hydrocarbon, in the presence of a platinum metal cata lyst. Such elastomers may also be formed by other reaction methods such as condensation-curing organopolysiloxane compositions in the presence of an organotin compound via a dehydrogenation reaction between hydroxyl-terminated diorganopolysiloxane and SiH-containing diorganopolysi loxane or alpha omega diene; or by condensation-curing organopolysiloxane compositions in the presence of an orga notin compound or a titanate ester using a condensation reac tion between an hydroxyl-terminated diorganopolysiloxane and a hydrolysable organosiloxane; peroxide-curing organ opolysiloxane compositions which thermally cure in the pres ence of an organoperoxide catalyst. One type of elastomer that may be suitable is prepared by addition reaction-curing an organopolysiloxane having at least two lower alkenyl groups in each molecule or an alpha omegadiene; and an organopolysiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded hydrogenatoms in each molecule; and a plati num-type catalyst. While the lower alkenyl groups such as vinyl, can be present at any position in the molecule, terminal 8 olefinic unsaturation on one or both molecular terminals is preferred. The molecular structure of this component may be straight chain, branched straight chain, cyclic, or network. These organopolysiloxanes are exemplified by methylvinyl siloxanes, methylvinylsiloxane-dimethylsiloxane copoly mers, dimethylvinylsiloxy-terminated dimethylpolysilox anes, dimethylvinylsiloxy-terminated dimethylsiloxane methylphenylsiloxane copolymers, dimethylvinylsiloxy terminated dimethylsiloxane-diphenylsiloxane methylvinylsiloxane copolymers, trimethylsiloxy terminated dimethylsiloxane-methylvinylsiloxane copolymers, trimethylsiloxy-terminated dimethylsiloxane methylphenylsiloxane-methylvinylsiloxane copolymers, dimethylvinylsiloxy-terminated methyl(3,3,3-trifluoropro pyl)polysiloxanes, and dimethylvinylsiloxy-terminated dim ethylsiloxane-methyl(3,3-trifluoropropyl)siloxane copoly mers, decadiene, octadiene, heptadiene, hexadiene, pentadiene, or tetradiene, or tridiene. Curing proceeds by the addition reaction of the silicon bonded hydrogen atoms in the dimethyl methylhydrogen siloxane, with the siloxane or alpha-omega diene under catalysis using the catalyst mentioned herein. To form a highly crosslinked structure, the methyl hydrogen siloxane must contain at least 2 silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in each molecule in order to optimize function as a crosslinker. The catalyst used in the addition reaction of silicon-bonded hydrogenatoms and alkenyl groups, and is concretely exem plified by chloroplatinic acid, possibly dissolved in an alcohol or ketone and this solution optionally aged, chloroplatinic acid-olefin complexes, chloroplatinic acid-alkenylsiloxane complexes, chloroplatinic acid-diketone complexes, plati numblack, and carrier-supported platinum. Examples of suitable silicone elastomers for use in the compositions of the invention may be in the powder form, or dispersed or solubilized in solvents such as volatile or non Volatile silicones, or silicone compatible vehicles Such as paraffinic hydrocarbons or esters. Examples of silicone elas tomer powders include vinyl dimethicone/methicone silesquioxane crosspolymers like Shin-Etsu's KSP-0, KSP-1, KSP-2, KSP-3, KSP-4, KSP-5, hybrid silicone powders that contain a fluoroalkyl group like Shin Etsu's KSP-200 which is a fluoro-silicone elastomer, and hybrid silicone powders that contain a phenyl group Such as Shin-Etsu's KSP-0, which is a phenyl substituted silicone elastomer; and Dow Corning s DC 96. Examples of sili cone elastomer powders dispersed in a silicone compatible vehicle include dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspoly mers Supplied by a variety of Suppliers including Dow Corn ing Corporation under the tradenames 90 or 9041, GE Silicones under the tradename SFE 839, or Shin-Etsu Sili cones under the tradenames KSG-, 16, 18. KSG- has the CTFA name cyclopentasiloxane/dimethicone/vinyl dimethi cone crosspolymer. KSG-18 has the INCI name phenyl tri methicone/dimethicone/phenyl vinyl dimethicone crosspoly mer. Silicone elastomers may also be purchased from Grant Industries under the Gransil trademark. Also suitable are sili cone elastomers having long chain alkyl Substitutions such as lauryl dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymers Sup plied by Shin Etsu under the tradenames KSG-31, KSG-32, KSG-41, KSG-42, KSG-43, and KSG-44.

A moisturizing test on Formulas 1, 2, and 3 was performed by weighing a 20 mg sample of each composition and apply ing it to a 1x1 inch area on the outer side of the test subjects forearm. A reading was taken at 1, 3, and 5 hours using a Nova Meter DPM9003 with a 1 cm. diameter probe. The results are as set forth in FIG. 1. The composition of the invention provided significantly improved moisturization when compared to Formulas 2 and 3. Example 5 Gloss was measured immediately, at 1 minute, and at 5 minutes by drawing 2 mil films of Formulas 1, 2, and 3 down on a microscopy slide (75xx1 mm) using a Multiple Clear ance Square Applicator (P.G.&T.Co. #3). Gloss of the film was measured using a BYK-Garner micro-tri gloss meter. The results are as set forth in FIG. 2. The gloss reading of Formula 1 of the invention was the lowest, thus illustrating the blurring effect of the composition on facial skin irregularities. Example 6 The gloss of Polyacrylate crosspolymer-7 and Sodium polyacrylate were comparatively tested using the same pro cedure set forth in Example 3. The Sodium polyacrylate was purchased from Cognis Corporation under the Cosmedia SP trade name. Test samples were prepared as follows: Ingredient Sample 1 Sample 2 DI water Glyserin Phenoxyethanol Polyacrylate crosspolymer-7 5 Sodium Polyacrylate* 1 *Cosmedia SP Cognis Corporation Gloss readings were measured immediately, and after 1 and 5 minutes with the gloss meter. The results areas follows: degree gloss degree gloss degree gloss Sample (a) Immediate (a) 1 min (a) 5 min The above results demonstrate that Formula 1, the compo sition of the invention, is significantly less glossy when topi cally applied (e.g. improved de-glossing) than the compara tive composition.

The composition was tested on adult women who had visible pores and had not been using retinoids or alpha hydroxy acid products in the previous 6 months or been Subject to cosmetic procedures. The women were instructed to apply the composition one time when present at the testing facility. The composition was tested on female panelists between the ages of 20 and 63 years of age. The panelists were instructed to arrive at the test center with a clean face having no applied products. They were instructed to apply the above product to the face one time. Digital Photography Via Canfield's VISIA-CRTM Facial Imaging The efficacy of the applied product was determined by photographing the panelists after application of the product with the Canfield VISIA-CRTM facial imaging system to pro duce high resolution reproducible facial images to facilitate clinical evaluations of various skin features (Canfield Scien tific: Dermatologic Clinics: 14, ; 1996). To evaluate the immediate reduction in the appearance of pores, photos were taken using the Canfield Visia-CR Facial Imaging System utilizing the standard lighting template which captured panelists images as they would appear in normal daylight. Panelists heads were placed in the head rest to ensure reproducibility of positioning. One standard photo graph of the face was taken and analyzed using the Image Pro 6.0 image analysis program. The appearance of pores was assessed by be examining changes in area before and after product use. A decrease in the area represents a reduction in pore size. The results showed a 32% reduction in the size and appearance of pores among all panelists collectively after immediate application of the composition. Thus the compo sition of the invention has efficacy in reducing pore size.
