Abstract
The growing interest in microsponge-based topical formulations compared to traditional ones is shaping the future of skincare and pharmaceutical treatments. Microsponges are gaining attention for their ability to enhance drug stability, control release, and target specific areas, which could lead to better therapeutic outcomes and improved patient experiences. In this review, we dive into how these innovative formulations stack up against conventional methods. We start by exploring what makes microsponge technology unique—their structure, how they work, and the benefits they offer. We then look at the composition and challenges of traditional formulations that have been the standard for years. The review also takes a close look at key studies that compare the effectiveness of these two approaches in treating common skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, and fungal infections. We examine how well the drugs are released, how deeply they penetrate the skin, their overall effectiveness, and how they affect patient compliance. Additionally, we discuss real-world evidence from clinical trials and case studies to provide a practical perspective on how microsponge-based treatments perform. We also consider safety concerns, possible side effects, and the regulatory landscape. Finally, we wrap up with a summary of what we’ve learned, pointing out both the strengths and areas for improvement in microsponge technology, and suggest where future research could lead us in advancing these innovative delivery systems.
