research Dermal Nanocrystals from Medium Soluble Actives: Physical Stability and Stability Affecting Parameters
Caffeine nanocrystals for skin products stay stable with the right stabilizer, but grow in size at higher temperatures.
research Gelatin Nanoparticles and Nanocrystals for Dermal Delivery
Improved methods create smaller, more effective gelatin nanoparticles for skin delivery, and new caffeine nanocrystals enhance absorption and effectiveness.
research Nanocrystals of Medium Soluble Actives: Novel Concept for Improved Dermal Delivery and Production Strategy
Nanocrystals improve skin penetration and stability of caffeine, suggesting a new method for delivering similar substances through the skin.
research Influence of Nanocrystal Size on the In Vivo Absorption Kinetics of Caffeine After Topical Application
Nanoparticles sized between 470 and 750 nm are best for delivering substances like caffeine into hair follicles for absorption.
research Investigation of Transfollicular Caffeine Penetration Using Microdialysis on Ex Vivo Porcine Ear Skin
Caffeine penetrates skin quickly through open hair follicles, but less through closed ones, with levels becoming equal after 22 hours.

5 / 438 resultscommunity abusing caffeine boosts DHT levels!
Caffeine intake may increase DHT levels, but its impact on hair loss is minimal compared to genetic factors. Excessive caffeine can cause health issues, and its effects on hair loss are not directly applicable to humans based on rat studies.
community Connection between caffeine and hair loss?
Caffeine might raise stress hormones, potentially worsening hair loss. Telogen effluvium is often misattributed to minor stressors rather than significant life events.
community Caffeine + Dimethylglycine (DMG) Shampoo research
A user discusses the potential of caffeine and DMG in shampoo for treating hair loss, citing a pending patent and personal plans to test it. They find it more convenient than using minoxidil, tretinoin, and microneedling.
community Caffeine really a DHT blocker or placebo?
Caffeine is not a proven DHT blocker and does not effectively treat hair loss. Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are more reliable treatments.
community Caffeine affects on oral minoxidil
Caffeine may interfere with oral minoxidil because caffeine increases blood pressure while minoxidil lowers it. Users discuss potential interactions and effects on hair loss treatment.
