Skin disorders are preferentially treated by topical administration of medicines or cosmetics because of the possibility of local action. However, a great concern is the delivery of topical actives with effective penetration through the stratum corneum to ensure the desired effect. Considering the search for a carrier system that allows the penetration/permeation of active pharmaceutical ingredients through this structure, searching for effective topical pharmaceutical forms is needed. Foams have been widely studied over the years due to their high capacity to favor the active to overcome the cutaneous barrier and because this form of presentation has ease of application and high acceptability by users. The objective of this review was to analyze the potential of foam as a topical pharmaceutical form for treating skin disorders, upon clinical cases reported in the literature. Foam presents technical advantages when compared to other conventional topical pharmaceutical forms due to its fast action, high tolerance, and safety, with reduction or total remission of adverse events. Regarding the patient, foam increased the rate of adherence to the treatment. Therefore, it is concluded that foam is an effective, secure, and stable topical presentation form for carrying active pharmaceutical ingredients and widely accepted by patients.
