The dermis absorbs various substances, including moisture, nutrients, and small molecules, through its vascular network and lymphatic vessels. It plays a crucial role in delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin while also facilitating the removal of waste products. Additionally, certain topical medications or treatments can penetrate the dermis to provide therapeutic effects. However, the absorption capacity can vary depending on the molecular size and formulation of the substance.
