Abstract
A method of treating skin disorders such as acne by applying topically to the infected area a mixture of an antimicrobial agent and a volatile low viscosity organosilicon compound. The mixture is entrapped within and dispersed uniformly throughout discrete particles of a hydrophobic macroporous highly crosslinked polymer. The particles are spread on the skin releasing the mixture while allowing the volatile low viscosity organosilicon compound to evaporate. Excess skin oil such as sebum is simultaneously adsorbed from the skin and into the macroporous polymer.
