learn Caffeine

the stimulant you know and love can be used topically to stimulate hair

learn Finasteride

Topical or oral? Choosing between pills and lotions according to your case. Topical finasteride offers localized treatment with fewer systemic side effects than oral finasteride.

learn Metformin

Is metformin used topically for hair loss, or only as an oral tablet? Approved metformin products are oral tablets only; there is no approved topical metformin for hair loss. Published human reports of topical use are a handful of uncontrolled, pharmacy-compounded case reports in scarring alopecia, and the most-cited clinical series actually used the oral drug.

learn Sulforaphane

Is sulforaphane used in oral supplements or topical hair treatments? Sulforaphane is primarily used in oral supplements, not topical hair treatments.

learn white tea

Is white tea more effective in topical hair products or as an oral supplement for hair growth? Neither topical nor oral white tea has any human clinical trial behind it for hair growth. Topical use has a more direct mechanistic rationale, but the only verifiable studies are a cell-culture EGCG experiment and a pharmacokinetic study with no hair outcomes.

learn Estradiol

How does topical Estradiol compare to oral Estradiol in treating alopecia? Topical estradiol delivers hormone to the scalp with less systemic exposure, but evidence is thin and it is still a hormone. It needs a doctor's supervision, and people with estrogen-sensitive cancers must not use it without medical approval.
