Topical drug delivery is a convenient mode of drug delivery to treat local infections. Topical medications are available in many dosage forms, such as creams, ointments, gels, pastes, and lotions. Both emulsions and gels are well known for their benefits as topical preparations with few limitations and called as emulgel. The literature on emulgel formulations was searched in may2023 from various scientific journal articles. From a total of 110 searched articles, 12 duplicated articles and 39 irrelevantly judged on the abstract or full papers were excluded. Finally, 53 articles were selected for review. Emulgel possesses many promising properties for dermatological use such as being greaseless, easily spreadable, emollient,easily removable, non-staining, longer shelf-life, transparent, having an better physical appearance and having less potential to cause serious side-effects due to lower blood exposure. Many formulation scientists have started to develop emulgel by using various active pharmaceutical ingredients, especially those are hydrophobic in nature such as Luliconazole, Ketoconazole, Mefenamic Acid, etc. We conclude that formulated emulgels have shown excellent results in aspects such as appearance, rate of drug penetration to skin, rate of drug release and therapeutic response. This review article is mainly focused on formulation, ingredients, methods, and characterization of emulgel formulations.
