Solid-in-oil nanodispersion as a novel topical transdermal delivery to enhance stability and skin…
l-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C, VC)is the most abundant antioxidant in human skin. But its poor penetration into the skin and unstability limit the application. The aim of the study was to promote the topical skin permeation and retention of VC, increase the stability as well as effectiveness by a novel…

Hydrogel-forming microarray patch mediated transdermal delivery of tetracycline hydrochloride
Antibiotic resistance is one of the most serious health problems today and is expected to worsen in the coming decades. It has been suggested that antibiotic administration routes that bypass the human gut could potentially tackle this problem. In this work, an antibiotic hydrogel-forming microarray…

Skin drug delivery using lipid vesicles: A starting guideline for their development
Lipid vesicles can provide a cost-effective enhancement of skin drug absorption when vesicle production process is optimised. It is an important challenge to design the ideal vesicle, since their properties and features are related, as changes in one affect the others. Here, we review the main…
