July 2021 in “Chemical & pharmaceutical bulletin/Chemical and pharmaceutical bulletin” This study found that rubbing significantly increased skin permeation of caffeine but not rhododendrol, with the direction of rubbing playing a crucial role in caffeine's enhancement.
September 2025 in “Universal library of medical and health sciences.” This study examined the use of medical dermapigmentation to restore lip appearance after traumatic injuries, finding that a staged approach effectively camouflages scar tissue, enhances symmetry, and improves psychological well-being, demonstrating benefits in a clinical case of a dog bite.
In this study, imaging techniques showed that nanostructured lipid carrier formulations distributed ascorbic acid more effectively across skin layers compared to conventional cream formulations, suggesting a better method for skin permeation.
This presentation suggests that the activation of TRPV3 channels by fruit acids and carvacrol contributes to exfoliation and may underlie the skin-resurfacing effects of chemical peels.
