The microemulsion delivered the dye deeper into the skin than the cream.
research Permeant Lipophilicity and Vehicle Composition Influence Accumulation of Dyes in Hair Follicles of Human Skin
Lipophilic dyes accumulate more in hair follicles when delivered with surfactant-propylene glycol solutions.
research Penetration and Distribution of Three Lipophilic Probes in Human Skin Focusing on the Hair Follicle
Medium lipophilic substances penetrate skin best, and adding ethanol can increase delivery to hair follicles.
research Differential Stripping: Determination of the Amount of Topically Applied Substances Penetrated into the Hair Follicles

A user's concern with their hair thinning while using dutasteride and oral minoxidil, which was switched from finasteride and topical minoxidil after 13 months. The conversation includes advice surrounding potential results, specific treatments used, and side effects.
community 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.
