research Influence of Massage and Occlusion on the Ex Vivo Skin Penetration of Rigid Liposomes and Invasomes
Massage increases how deep both rigid and flexible liposomes can go into skin, with flexible ones going deeper, and covering the skin (occlusion) helps rigid ones more.
research Significance of the Follicular Pathway for Dermal Substance Penetration Quantified by Laser Doppler Flowmetry
Hair follicles help substances penetrate the skin faster and more effectively.
research Potential of Nanoparticles as Permeation Enhancers and Targeted Delivery Options for Skin: Advantages and Disadvantages
Nanoparticles can improve skin drug delivery but have challenges like toxicity and stability that need more research.
research Hyperbranched Glycerol-Based Core-Amphiphilic Branched Shell Nanotransporters for Dermal Drug Delivery

5 / 30 resultscommunity Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video
Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.
community Why is dutasteride's volume of distribution so much bigger than finasteride? Is it more lipophilic and crosses barriers better?
Dutasteride has a larger volume of distribution than finasteride due to its lipophilic nature, allowing it to concentrate in hydrophobic areas and making it difficult to excrete. A user experiencing hair loss has been using oral finasteride for 10 months with minimal regrowth and is considering switching to dutasteride or adding oral minoxidil.
community Topical Dutasteride & Microneedling Works
Topical dutasteride, especially at higher concentrations, can be effective for hair loss when combined with microneedling to enhance absorption. Users discuss the side effects of finasteride and dutasteride, with some preferring topical treatments to avoid systemic side effects.
community Possible solution: 2.5mg DUT for everyone
A user is experimenting with creating a DIY oral Dutasteride solution using raw powder, MCT oil, and Vitamin E to reduce costs. Others discuss their experiences with similar methods and the challenges of sourcing and testing Dutasteride.
community DHT Harms Scalp Microbiome: DHT Itch is REAL
Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
