“…Peptides can cause different effects on the skin, but one important hurdle to obtaining effects within the skin is difficulty to penetrate the epidermis [5,6]. Generally, permeation ability depends on different factors: physicochemical properties of the substance (acid dissociation constant (pKa), molecular size, stability, binding affinity, solubility and partition coefficient); the time-scale of permeation; integrity, thickness and components of the skin, cutaneous metabolism; site, area and duration of application; properties of the transdermal device and the creation of a local depot at the site of application [7][8][9].…”
