Nanoparticles and microparticles for skin drug delivery

TL;DR: Unpublished clinical data on nanoparticle penetration and previously published reports support the hypothesis that nanoparticles >10nm in diameter are unlikely to penetrate through the stratum corneum into viable human skin but will accumulate in the hair follicle openings, especially after massage.
