    TLDR Adapalene 0.1% effectively reduces acne by decreasing comedones and altering skin properties.
    The study assessed the efficacy of 0.1% adapalene in a non-inflammatory acne model using Kyoto rhino (krh/krh) rats, which develop comedones with hair loss. Over 12 weeks, krh/krh rats treated with adapalene showed a significant reduction in open comedone areas, increased epidermal thickness, and decreased lipid production compared to the control group. Additionally, cytokine production, including IL-10 and IL-12a, tended to increase with adapalene treatment. The results suggested that krh/krh rats are a suitable model for non-inflammatory acne and that adapalene effectively reduces open comedones by modifying lipid metabolism and cytokine production.

      community the ordinary retinol & minoxidil

      in Minoxidil  13 upvotes 3 months ago
      Using retinol with minoxidil may not be as effective as tretinoin, but retinaldehyde or adapalene could be alternatives. A micro-roller with minoxidil is suggested for better results.

      The conversation discusses a hair loss treatment regimen including 5% minoxidil, 2.5mg oral minoxidil, 1mg finasteride, tretinoin cream, derma stamping, derma rolling, scalp massagers, and a mix of vitamins and minerals. The user also considers using maca and adapalene, with advice on potential scalp irritation and the effectiveness of these treatments.

      community Is Retinol effective by itself?

      in Treatment  3 upvotes 1 month ago
      Retinol is not effective alone for hair loss; tretinoin is more potent and sometimes mixed with minoxidil. Retinoids do not stop hair loss, and finasteride or dutasteride is necessary for that.
