Transdermal drug delivery provides a non-invasive route to circumvent gastrointestinal irritation and first-pass metabolism. This review presents a unique framework by categorizing delivery strategies into biological, chemical, and physical domains, a synthesis complemented by an original analysis of U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved drugs and over 1100 clinical trials. We systematically evaluate representative delivery strategy including microneedles, peptides, and liposomes highlighting their developmental trajectories, advantages, limitations, and clinical adoption status. Furthermore, the review focuses on three paradigmatic drugs (insulin, donepezil, and cannabinoids) to assess their cutting-edge transdermal research and commercialization progress. The insights gathered herein not only summarize the current state but also identify key challenges and opportunities, offering valuable guidance for accelerating the translation of novel transdermal systems.
