A colloidal carrier system with an oily colloidal phase (O/W microemulsion) is shown on the right hand side which is used to improve dermal and transdermal drug delivery of extremely lipophilic drugs. On the left hand side a colloidal carrier system with an aqueous colloidal phase (W/O microemulsion...
