Topical drug delivery continues to evolve as a preferred approach for treating dermatological conditions since it offers non-invasive, patient-friendly application with localized action. However, the skin’s outermost layer, the stratum corneum, remains a significant obstacle, limiting drug absorption and overall efficacy.

This webinar explores the use of liposomes to improve drug permeation, retention, and therapeutic performance in semisolid formulations such as creams, gels, and ointments. The program offers insights into the design, development, and functional advantages of liposome-enhanced topical systems, including their ability to mimic skin structure, deliver both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs, and reduce systemic exposure.

Learning Points

  • Challenges and limitations of traditional topical drug delivery
  • Mechanisms by which liposomes enhance drug penetration and control release
  • Formulation strategies for integrating liposomes into semisolid vehicles
  • Regulatory and stability considerations for vesicle-based topical products
  • Clinical and therapeutic implications of advanced carrier systems in dermatology
