    hormone applied to skin to promote hair growth

    Topical melatonin refers to the application of melatonin directly onto the skin, typically in the form of creams, gels, or serums.

In the context of hair and alopecia, topical melatonin is being explored for its potential to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss by protecting hair follicles from oxidative stress.
