US Patent No. 9,387,161 B2; ELC Management has patented a method for moisturizing a keratin surface and blurring the appearance of defects by de-glossing the keratin surface via topical product. The method entaills topically applying copolymer of methacrylate PPG-6 phosphate and one or more monomers of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or one of their simple esters, crosslinked with dimethicone PEG/PPG-25/29 acrylate in a cosmetically acceptable composition. The composition containing the copolymer provides improved moisturization and blurring of skin defects when compared to the same composition not containing the copolymer.
