A novel concept for the treatment of couperosis based on nanocrystals in combination with solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN).

For the post laser treatment of couperosis a new dermal formulation was developed combining three actives: vitamin K1, A1 and rutin, where both vitamins were incorporated into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and the poorly soluble antioxidant rutin formulated as nanocrystal. All three formulations were stable over 6 months either on their own or after their incorporation into a hydrogel. Vitamin A1 at 0.
