Druig Delivery patches

Am interested in ascertaining all NONE PRESCRIBED drug and cosmetic patches:

By application (Cosmetic, nutrition, other >??)
and 
By Company

and success of adoption.

Both patches introduced and planned.

What FDA approval , if any is required , and what are the ground rules
for needing this ?

Most market reports reference $ and not unit volumes or number of
users nor do they examine the COSMETIC and non prescribed in much
detail, if any, hence my interest areas. See second part of question
