The skin serves as both a prominent target and a primary barrier in the context of topical/transdermal (TT) drug delivery. Topical drug delivery plays a crucial role in the treatment of skin disorders, ocular conditions, rectal ailments, vaginal issues, as well as systemic disorders that manifest on the skin. The stratum corneum, a vital component of the skin, plays a pivotal role in acting as a barrier to the delivery of drugs via topical routes. The development of topical drug delivery systems is specifically aimed at achieving effective transportation of therapeutically active drugs across the skin. Vesicular carriers have gained significant prominence in the field of topical drug delivery due to their biocompatible, biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-irritating properties, as well as their ability to achieve nanoscale dimensions, enabling penetration into the deeper layers of the skin. However, the limited permeability of the stratum corneum poses a challenge as it acts as an effective barrier for drug penetration. To overcome this obstacle, various carrier systems have been developed. Vesicular carriers, including liposomes, niosomes, transferases, and ethosomes, have emerged as recently invented carriers that have been widely employed in the treatment of various topical skin diseases. This review article aims to focus on the topical delivery facilitated by these vesicular carriers, with an emphasis on future prospects and various aspects of these carriers.
