Enhancement of Dermal Delivery of Finasteride Using Microemulsion Systems

Topical finasteride in a liposomal formulation reduces systemic absorption compared to ethanol solutions. The user is seeking sources for such products, noting that popular options like morr-f are not liposomal.

A peptide-based delivery system for finasteride shows promise in reducing systemic side effects while maintaining hair growth effectiveness. Combining this with other treatments like minoxidil and RU58841 could enhance results with lower systemic absorption.

The post discusses diluting 100ml of 0.1% topical finasteride with 90ml of stemoxydine to create a 0.05% solution, aiming for a longer-lasting and potentially less side-effect-prone treatment. The user seeks feedback on this idea.

Creating a topical solution combining finasteride and stemoxydine to treat hair loss, and the discussion of whether 15mg of finasteride would be sufficient for 60ml solvent.

OP is considering using Stemoxydine or the Ordinary Multi Peptide Hair Serum as a carrier for topical finasteride, avoiding minoxidil due to palpitations. They plan to crush finasteride pills into a 30 ml solution.

Finasteride pills don't fully dissolve in a DIY topical solution due to fillers, resulting in residue. Users suggest shaking well before application and note that commercial solutions appear clearer.
