This study found that applying scalp sebum from young men to rabbit ear canals caused follicular hyperkeratosis, suggesting sebum stimulates the formation of comedones, a key feature in acne vulgaris.
A topical serum made from monounsaturated fatty acids showed rapid hair growth in mice within 20 days, but it remains experimental for humans. Users humorously discussed the frequent success of hair growth treatments in mice and expressed skepticism about translating these results to humans.
A serum with oleic and palmitoleic acids shows promise for hair regrowth in mice, but its effectiveness in humans is unproven. Minoxidil and finasteride remain the recommended treatments.
A new serum claims to enhance hair regrowth by amplifying oxygen delivery, improving the effectiveness of treatments like exosomes and peptides. Users are skeptical, questioning its efficacy compared to established treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
RU58841 is absorbed systemically in humans, contradicting claims it stays local, but no harm is proven. Alternatives like CB-03-01 or KX-826, especially with finasteride, are suggested for safety.
Serum DHT is mostly inactive; sebum DHT is a better measure for hair loss. Users discuss using finasteride, dutasteride, and topical treatments like KX826 and RU58841 for better scalp DHT suppression.
