Transepidermal means “across the skin.” It’s a term used to describe products and treatments that penetrate the skin barrier to deliver active ingredients deep into the skin. This can be done through chemical or physical means.
Transepidermal delivery is a popular method for delivering active ingredients in skincare products, as it allows them to bypass the surface of the skin and penetrate deeper into the skin where they can be more effective. This method can be used to deliver a variety of active ingredients, including antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.
While transepidermal delivery can be an effective way to deliver active ingredients to the skin, it’s important to choose products that are formulated with high-quality ingredients and that are suitable for your skin type. Products that are too harsh or that contain irritating ingredients can cause skin irritation and other side effects.
