The invention relates to cleaning agents which contain inhibitors for the proteases that are involved in breaking down desmosomes. Said inhibitors significantly decrease drying out of the skin caused by surfactants and, as a result, improve the appearance of the skin. Suitable inhibitors are, for example, boric acid and derivatives thereof, 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenylsulfonyl fluoride (Pefabloc3 and Pefabloc3 SC), the pentapeptide sequence glycine-proline-phenylalanine-proline-leucine, and derivatives which contain this pentapetide sequence, and are rosemary acid as well as the active ingredient Elhibin3 that is obtained from leguminous seeds. |
