Delivery of therapeutics into skin is hindered by the epidermal barriers . To overcome these barriers for the treatment of skin diseases, a cutaneous delivery method capable of field treatment using silica‐elongated microparticles is developed. The microparticles are massaged into the skin using a 3D‐printed microtextured applicator resulting in significant field‐directed drug delivery enhancement.
