Effect of Charge Carrier Lipid on Skin Penetration, Retention, and Hair Growth of Topically Applied Finasteride-Containing Liposomes

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of charge carrier lipid on the skin penetration, retention, and hair growth of topically applied finasteride-containing liposomes. Finasteride-containing liposomes were prepared by traditional thin film hydration method using Phospholipon^{(R)}/TEX> 85 G and cholesterol with or without charge carrier lipid (1,2 dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate or 1,2-dioleoyl-trimethylammonium-propane...
