Iontophoresis methods for delivering vitamin C, iontophoretic compositions, kits, and iontophoretic devices

摘要

The present invention relates to an iontophoresis method for transferring vitamin C through the skin, the iontophoretic method comprising the steps of applying a selected current profile of either a continuous DC current, a pulsed current, or a combination of both to at least one electrode Wherein the continuous DC current, the pulsed current, or a combination of both, is characterized by a characteristic and duration sufficient to transdermally deliver vitamin C to a biological subject, And transporting different rates of vitamin C across the skin in accordance with the selected current mode.
