The permeability of the dermis varies depending on its structure and composition, primarily influenced by the presence of collagen and elastin fibers. Generally, the dermis serves as a barrier, allowing selective passage of small molecules while restricting larger ones. Its permeability can also be affected by factors such as hydration, temperature, and the presence of certain substances. Overall, the dermis plays a crucial role in skin function, balancing protection and absorption.
