The delivery mechanism is especially important, as it turns out, the ratings reported by consumers or third party web sites were highly correlated with the type of delivery mechanism.
Delivering nutrients or anti-aging active ingredients to the skin, deep into the dermis layer concerns amongst dermatologists because whether agents that are proven effective in fighting skin aging can be consistently delivered to the specific layers of the skin where they are known to induce their biological effect is critical for the ingredients to exert its benefits. If peptides are unable to penetrate the skin to reach the facial muscle, the percentage concentration and type of peptide turns out to be of minor significance. Proteins are even larger molecules than peptide, the delivery of collagen and elastin to the deeper dermis layer is critical in anti-aging topical skin care treatment. Furthermore, some ingredients are not fat soluble, this made them difficult to penetrate the lipid membrane of skin cell.
The advent of liposome delivery technology has enabled scientists to increase the efficacy of topical anti-aging agents by delivering them into the inner layers of the skin. Liposome is a vesicle of phospholipid material, similar to the lipids in our own cell membranes. Liposome can encapsulate active ingredients, making hydrophillic ingredients more fat soluble, and facilitating the delivery of ingredients to the deeper skin layer.
