Can nanoparticles secretly pass through your skin? 👀
They are already found in sunscreens, cosmetics, drug delivery systems, and emerging medical technologies — yet scientists are still trying to fully understand what actually happens when these ultra-small particles come into contact with the skin barrier.
How deep do they go?
Can they pe*****te healthy skin?
And most importantly — how can we even detect something so small?
Our review paper, “Characterization Methods for Nanoparticle–Skin Interactions: An Overview”, explores the advanced imaging and analytical techniques researchers use to uncover the answers.
Sometimes the biggest scientific mysteries exist at the nanoscale. 🔬

Research progresses have led to the development of different kinds of nanoplatforms to deliver drugs through different biological membranes. Particularly, nanocarriers represent a precious means to treat skin pathologies, due to their capability to solubilize lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs, to con...
