Restoraderm
Restoraderm® is a unique and patented dermal drug delivery system. Formulated with lipids normally found in the skin, Restoraderm® offers rapid penetration and absorption into the stratum corneum. Once passing through this external layer of the skin, Restoraderm® delivers active ingredients to the dermal layers underlying the skin barrier. This patented technology provides a physiologic vehicle base that is readily accepted into the dermis.
In contrast to Restoraderm®, other formulations which are used to enhance penetration through the skin typically employ mechanisms that disrupt the normal barrier with concomitant physiological consequences. Restoraderm® is formulated to enhance penetration while leaving the normal barrier intact or even functionally enhanced. This effect is achieved by careful selection of the lipids of the vehicle, which blend with the normal lipids present in the stratum corneum, resulting in a temporary and reversible disruption and enhanced penetration, followed by a rapid return to normal barrier function. Additionally, Restoraderm's patented formulation offers superior cosmetic elegance. This feature promotes patient compliance and greater therapeutic success.
