community Here’s the rundown on scalp serums from a former cosmetic chemist

34 upvotes 7 months ago

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.

natural substance from Neem tree with medicinal and pesticidal properties

learn Valproic acid

Why is valproic acid not considered a standard cosmetic ingredient despite its potential effects on hair growth? Valproic acid is not a standard cosmetic ingredient due to safety and regulatory concerns.

learn Biotin

Biotinyl-GHK: a miracle ingredient against hair loss? Biotinyl-GHK (biotinoyl tripeptide-1) is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss medicine; the published studies test it only inside multi-ingredient complexes such as Procapil, so no result can be attributed to the peptide itself.

learn procapil

Can a liquid formula with Procapil do more than your usual multivitamin? Procapil is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss drug: the published studies on it are small and test it in combination with caffeine or platelet-rich plasma, so none isolates its own effect, and the percentages quoted in marketing come from the ingredient supplier's unpublished studies. Vitamins are reported to help hair only where there is a deficiency, so the two are aimed at different problems rather than ranked against each other.
Tried everything and still getting bald patches? Procapil may help calm the immune response Procapil is a cosmetic ingredient complex; laboratory studies of its individual ingredients report anti-inflammatory effects, but no published clinical trial has tested it in alopecia areata or any other immune-related hair loss. Spreading bald patches should be assessed by a dermatologist.

learn Stemoxydine

Can stemoxydine help improve hair density in both men and women? Stemoxydine is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair loss drug, and the manufacturer's three-month trials enrolled men only, reporting a small increase in measured hair density. One small uncontrolled study that included women reported improvement in both sexes but more in men, so a benefit for women is not established.
