5 / 801 results- Can applying a mask with PP405 directly to thinning areas give your scalp the push it needs? No PP405 mask exists to test: PP405 is an experimental topical gel from Pelage Pharmaceuticals that inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier, it is not an anti-DHT ingredient, and it is not on sale. Its registered Phase 2 trial (NCT06393452) measured safety, not regrowth, and a rinse-out mask is in any case the wrong format for reaching the follicle.
