TLDR Ethosomes can effectively deliver drugs deep into the skin, improving treatment for various skin conditions.
Ethosomes, innovative carriers capable of overcoming the skin barrier, showed potential for delivering drugs into deeper skin layers, enhancing dermal therapy. The document reviewed the efficiency of ethosomal delivery systems containing drugs like acyclovir, clindamycin, minoxidil, cannabidiol, and erythromycin in both ex vivo and in vivo studies. These systems aimed to improve treatments for bacterial and viral skin infections, rheumatoid arthritis, and pilosebaceous structure-related disorders, potentially increasing drug-treatment efficiency and patient convenience.
