A REVIEW ON LIPOSOMAL GEL FOR ACNE VULGARIS

Abstract

Many different basic sciences have established liposomes as a promising new drug delivery method. Liposomes are tiny spheres made of an aqueous core and one or more lipid-based outer shells that are organized in a bilayer pattern. The ability to encapsulate hydrophilic and lipophilic medications and shield them from deterioration makes liposomes acceptable better carriers. It can penetrate deeper into the skin and, as a result, provide higher absorption. It also has an affinity for the keratin of the horny layer of skin. When applied to the skin, liposomes may function as a local depot, a matrix for solubilizing poorly soluble medicines, and an enhancer of penetration while also reducing their negative effects. Topical liposome formulations have the potential to be less harmful and more effective than standard formulations. The extended and controlled release of the topical dose forms used in liposome gel formulations may increase efficacy and patient compliance while producing therapeutically superior effects compared to those of standard formulations.
