Development of an Innovative Nanotransdermal Formulation Utilizing an Optimal Combination of Acyclovir and Omeprazole to Improve Antiviral Efficacy
Abstract: The study effectively created nanogel formulations of Acyclovir and Omeprazole using the solvent diffusion technique. Among the various formulations (F1–F9), F9 was identified as the most suitable for gel preparation based on its pH evaluation. Drug content analysis, performed using UV-spectroscopy, confirmed the homogeneity of the prepared nanogels, which appeared opaque, free of lumps, particles, or aggregates. The spreadability assessment of F9 demonstrated excellent spreadability, while viscosity values for all …

Cosmetic Topical Formulations: Design Strategies, Skin Interaction Mechanisms, Clinical–Cosmetic Applications, and Emerging Trends
Abstract: Cosmetic topical products are central to modern skin care, as they deliver active ingredients directly to the skin surface and upper layers to improve appearance, texture, and function. By acting locally on the epidermis and adnexal structures, these preparations help manage dryness, photoaging, pigmentation, acne, and sensitive-skin conditions while minimizing systemic exposure. A wide range of dosage forms—creams, lotions, gels, ointments, serums, sprays, and transdermal-inspired cosmetic patches—are engineered to modulate …
