Microsponges have emerged as versatile and promising drug delivery system due to their unique properties such as highly porosity, large surface area, and controlled release capabilities. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of microsponges, including their preparation methods, characterization techniques, application in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other industries, as well as recent advancements in the field. Microsponges are polymeric delivery devices made up of porous microspheres. They are little, sponge-like spherical particles with a large porous surface. Furthermore, they may improve stability, reduce side effects, and optimize drug release. Microsponge technology offers numerous advantages, making it versatile drug delivery platform. Microsponge systems use microscopic, polymer-based microspheres to suspend or entrap various compounds. These microspheres can subsequently be included into manufactured products including gels, creams, liquids, and powders.
