research Niosomal Versus Cubosomal Gels of Cetirizine Hydrochloride: Cost-Effective Permeation Enhancement for Potential Transdermal Application
Cubosomal gels enhance skin absorption of cetirizine better than niosomal gels.
research External Lipid Function in Ethnic Hairs
African hair has the most lipids, while Caucasian hair is more hydrated and stronger.
research Lipid Nanoparticles for Topical and Transdermal Delivery of Pharmaceuticals and Cosmeceuticals
Lipid nanoparticles improve drug delivery through the skin, offering stability, controlled release, and better compatibility with skin.
research Development, Formulation, and Characterization of an Adapalene-Loaded Solid Lipid Microparticle Dispersion for Follicular Penetration
Researchers created a skin treatment that could effectively deliver medication into hair follicles.
research Comparison of Rheological Properties, Follicular Penetration, Drug Release, and Permeation Behavior of a Novel Topical Drug Delivery System and a Conventional Cream
The new drug delivery system releases the drug better in sebum and targets follicles more effectively than the conventional cream.

5 / 154 resultscommunity Phase II topical dut study - outperforms oral fin with a minor DHT reduction
Topical dutasteride 0.05% is more effective for hair growth than oral finasteride 1mg, with minimal DHT reduction. The formulation uses castor oil and MCTs for better absorption but is not widely available until 2028.
community [23M] Hair got better at 3 months, then much worse. What now?
The user experienced initial hair improvement with dutasteride and minoxidil but saw worsening at seven months, likely due to shedding. The consensus is to continue treatment, as shedding is common and improvement may take up to a year.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Does melatonin dissolve in isopropyl alcohol
The conversation discusses making a topical melatonin solution for hair loss treatment, questioning if isopropyl alcohol can dissolve melatonin. Melatonin is soluble in lipids and alcohol, but it's unstable and should be mixed fresh regularly; it may help hair growth by affecting certain cellular signaling pathways and has anti-androgenic effects.
