    Studysummary This study investigated a liposomal hydrogel system for delivering minoxidil and tretinoin to treat androgenic alopecia, finding that the system enhanced skin permeation of minoxidil while retaining tretinoin on the skin and was non-irritating in animal tests, suggesting its potential effectiveness.
