Classical wet RM (wRM) contain a discrete aqueous core whose size and solubilization behavior are governed by surfactant packing, hydration level and physicochemical properties of the hydrophobic phase. Although these systems provided insights into nanoconfined environments, their sensitivity to dilution and environment has limited translation into drug delivery. Recent developments renew interest in dry RM (dRM), which reduce internal water to below 1% and rely mainly on interfacial rather than bulk\u2010like water domains, with electrostatic and non\u2010covalent interactions contributing to stabilization of highly hydrophilic (poly)peptides (pP). dRMs expand the application space for pP therapeutics, supporting delivery routes requiring low hydration and robust microenvironments. This review integrates RM architecture and outlines performance criteria for oral pP delivery, including high loading capacity, increased pP lipophilicity, protection from enzymatic degradation, enhanced epithelial permeation and favorable safety. In vivo studies demonstrate that dRM achieve comparable or improved oral bioavailability relative to hydrophobic ion pairs or wRM in selected systems, underscoring why RM remain relevant and why maintaining minimal hydration and formulation flexibility are central to unlocking their therapeutic potential.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/smll.76409","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,24]],"date-time":"2026-10-24T07:42:56Z","timestamp":1792827776000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Reverse Micelles: The Gateway for Oral (Poly)Peptide Delivery"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"given":"Marlene","family":"Ramona Schmidt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Center For Chemistry and Biomedicine Institute of Pharmacy University of Innsbruck  Innsbruck Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-1816-018X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Melanie","family":"Lena Ebert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Center For Chemistry and Biomedicine Institute of Pharmacy University of Innsbruck  Innsbruck Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4187-8277","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas","family":"Bernkop\u2010Schn\u00fcrch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Technology Center For Chemistry and Biomedicine Institute of Pharmacy University of Innsbruck  Innsbruck Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1677","DOI":"10.1021\/j150580a027","article-title":"Mechanism of Formation and Structure of Micro Emulsions by Electron Microscopy","volume":"63","author":"Schulman J.
