It’s a common skin disorder that troubles approximately 800 million teenagers and adults globally. However, scientists from Australia might have discovered a promising treatment for acne using nanoparticles.was encased in tiny, soft nanoparticles 1000 times smaller than a single strand of human hair and applied in a gel form to targeted acne sites.
“Although there are many oral medications prescribed for acne, they have a range of detrimental side effects, and many are poorly water-soluble, which is why most patients and clinicians prefer topical treatments.
Abid, Prof Garg, and researchers from UniSA, the University of Adelaide, and Aix-Marseille Université in France also investigated how well Narasin encased in nanoparticles penetrated various layers of skin, using pig’s ear skin as a model. “The micelle formulation was effective in delivering Narasin to acne target sites, as opposed to the compound solution which failed to permeate through skin layers,” Prof Garg says.
