Abstract

Glycerosomes are innovative vesicular drug delivery vehicles that can be either topically or administered systemically. These noninvasive carriers have the ability to reach deeper layers of the skin than a free medication could. Phospholipids, water, and a high percentage of glycerol (20–40%) make up glycerosomes, which are safe and perfectly appropriate ingredients for topical applications. A high glycerol concentration improves the stability of the vesicles and increases their flexibility, which increases the drug's penetration. These days, academics are primarily interested in studying glycerosomal carriers. The structure, advantages, content, fabrication techniques, characterisation, and uses of glycerosomes are all summarized in this review paper. The structure, benefits, content, preparation techniques, characterisation, and uses of glycerosomes are all summed up in this review paper.
