5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Investigation of differences in follicular penetration of particle-and nonparticle-containing emulsions by laser scanning microscopy
In this study, particles similar in size to keratin cells were surprisingly found to penetrate more efficiently into hair follicles due to a possible pumping effect from moving hairs.
research Follicular Penetration of Caffeine from Topically Applied Nanoemulsion Formulations Containing Penetration Enhancers: In vitro Human Skin Studies
This study found that nanoemulsion formulations with oleic acid or eucalyptol significantly enhanced the delivery and retention of caffeine through hair follicles and surrounding skin regions.
research Comparison of rheological properties, follicular penetration, drug release, and permeation behavior of a novel topical drug delivery system and a conventional cream
This study found that adapalene-loaded solid lipid microparticles may enhance targeted drug delivery into sebum due to their similarity to sebum components, although both this formulation and a standard cream showed equivalent follicular penetration.
research Comparison of two in vitro models for the analysis of follicular penetration and its prevention by barrier emulsions
This study found that porcine ear skin is more suitable than excised human skin for investigating the efficacy of barrier emulsions in preventing pollen allergen penetration due to its lack of tissue contraction.

5 / 266 resultscommunity Pelage PP405: New Hair Growth from Inactive Follicular Units - Phase 2a results at AAD 2026
PP405, a topical treatment, shows promise for hair growth by activating inactive follicles, with 66% of participants experiencing positive results. The treatment is well-tolerated and may proceed directly to Phase 3 trials, offering a potential alternative to minoxidil and finasteride.
community Napkin math: are we using 100x more topical finasteride than necessary?
Topical finasteride concentrations are likely much higher than necessary for effective follicular DHT suppression, with current standards being 100-1000 times above the theoretical minimum. Lower concentrations (0.001-0.0025%) might still work locally while minimizing systemic exposure.
community How is it possible for someone to be a non responder to ORAL minoxidil?
Some individuals do not respond to oral minoxidil for hair loss, despite it generally working by improving blood flow to hair follicles. Factors like metabolism, drug interactions, and individual variations in the drug's activation may influence its effectiveness.
community How many are hyper responders to Finasteride?
The user experienced severe side effects from finasteride, including hormonal imbalances and cognitive issues, leading to a recommendation to stop its use. They plan to follow up with tests to rule out a pituitary tumor and are considering topical treatments as alternatives.
community Why you can still look forward to PP405 and JXL-069
PP405 and JXL-069 are the same compound, but users experienced no results due to flawed application methods. The topical gel formulation of PP405 is designed to target hair follicle stem cells effectively, unlike liquid solutions that fail to penetrate deeply.
