ACTIVE SUBSTANCE COMBINATIONS OF ONE OR MORE AROMATIC ALCOHOLS AND OCTANOHYDROXAMIC ACIDS, AND COSMETIC OR DERMATOLOGICAL PREPARATIONS CONTAINING SUCH ACTIVE SUBSTANCE COMBINATIONS

The invention relates to active substance combinations, comprising a) one or more aromatic alcohols of the general structural formula (I) wherein R1 may represent: H, CH3, OCH3, NH2, and where up to five identical or different radicals R1 or any desired combinations of the same and of different radicals of this type may occur in a molecule, in accordance with n = 1 - 5. The index m can assume values from 1 - 10, the index y can assume the value 0 or 1, the index q can assume values from 0 - 10, A and B represent independently from each other H, OH, and branched and unbranched alkyl radicals having 1 - 10 carbon atoms, and b) one or more physiologically acceptable hydroxamic acids.
