TLDR LAIC cream can improve acne by making skin thinner and softer.

The study aimed to observe the effects of lipid and acne inhibitive cream (LAIC) on an acne model in rabbit ears. Sixteen New Zealand white rabbits were divided into experimental and control groups, with oleic acid used to induce acne. The experimental group received LAIC treatment, while the control group received tretinoin cream. Results showed that LAIC improved the skin condition by making it thinner and softer, reducing corneous plugs, and relieving papules. Histologically, LAIC reduced cuticle thickness and mildly expanded follicular orifices. Both groups showed significant improvements before and after treatment, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. The study concluded that LAIC could improve abnormal cornification of hair follicles in acne.

community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

in Research/Science 65 upvotes 1 year ago

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

community So does oral minoxidil age your skin or not

Oral minoxidil may cause dry skin and dark eye bags but doesn't significantly age the skin. Topical minoxidil is toxic to cats, and some users prefer finasteride.
