Liposome technology is different.
In scientific literature, liposomes have been proven to facilitate
the topical delivery of drugs. Topical delivery puts the drug in the
right place, allowing maximal effect with minimal toxicity.

Liposomes are made up of substances that are similar to those
normally present in cell membranes. Cell membranes and liposomes are
primarily composed of phospholipids. Phospholipids have a
hydrophilic (water-loving) head and lipophilic (oil-loving) tail. In
aqueous solution, they are arranged in bilayers. The lipophilic
tails are located in the membrane's interior and the hydrophilic
heads point outward.
Liposomes are microsopic vesicles
composed of membrane-like lipid bilayers surrounding aqueous
compartments. In each liposome, there is a thin layer of water
between each lipid bilayer and a small core of water in the very
middle.
