Bee venom at 0.001% concentration was more effective than 2% minoxidil in promoting hair growth in mice, possibly due to increased growth factors and reduced inflammation. Caution is advised due to potential allergic reactions and the reliance on animal data.
community Here’s the rundown on scalp serums from a former cosmetic chemist
Most scalp serums are ineffective for hair loss, with Nécessaire’s “The Scalp Serum” being the only one showing noticeable results, though it's not worth the cost. For androgenetic alopecia, clinical treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are necessary, while caffeine and capixyl may offer some benefits.

community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
