Liposomal Tri-Active System

The Liposomal Tri-Active System utilizes a nanotechnology-driven delivery platform to encapsulate salicylic acid (SA), glycolic acid (GA), and lauric acid (LA) within lipid-based vesicles. This advanced system harnesses the synergistic benefits of the three actives to address the primary pathogenic factors of acne such as follicular hyperkeratinization, microbial proliferation, and inflammation while enhancing skin tolerability and reducing the risk of irritation.

Technology Behind

Technology Behind the Liposomal Tri-Active System

The Liposomal Tri-Active System encapsulates salicylic acid (SA), glycolic acid (GA), and lauric acid (LA) within a phospholipid-based carrier, forming a high-performance delivery platform designed for enhanced penetration, targeted localization, and sustained release.

Its bilayer structure fuses with skin lipids, facilitating direct transport of the actives into both the stratum corneum and follicular pathways. Once localized, salicylic acid is gradually released into the pores to alleviate inflammation and dissolve accumulated debris. Glycolic acid acts at the epidermal surface, gently loosening corneocyte cohesion to promote controlled exfoliation and skin renewal. Lauric acid integrates into bacterial membranes, disrupting Cutibacterium acnes integrity and delivering potent antimicrobial action.

This multi-mechanistic strategy addresses acne at its root causes—follicular blockage, inflammation, and microbial overgrowth—while the liposomal encapsulation system minimizes irritation and supports optimal skin tolerance.

Mechanism of Action

The Liposomal Tri-Active System optimizes acne-targeted therapy through enhanced skin penetration, localized delivery, and sustained release. Its phospholipid bilayer seamlessly integrates with skin lipids, facilitating efficient transport of encapsulated actives into deeper epidermal layers. Salicylic acid is gradually released into the pores, where it alleviates inflammation and clears follicular blockages. Glycolic acid acts at the stratum corneum, gently disrupting corneocyte cohesion to promote controlled exfoliation and epidermal renewal. Lauric acid, delivered via lipid fusion, disrupts Cutibacterium acnes cell membranes, providing potent antimicrobial action. This multi-targeted, nanotechnology-driven system ensures synergistic efficacy while minimizing irritation for improved skin clarity and tolerance.
