This study reported that minoxidil lotions produced using a propylene glycol-free base, Aloplus Total, demonstrated high minoxidil solubility and maintained chemical and physical stability for over 180 days, suggesting suitability for enhanced topical treatments of androgenetic alopecia.

Povidone-iodine nail solution effectively treats nail infections caused by chemotherapy.

This phase II study found that a 0.05% topical dutasteride solution was more effective than oral finasteride (1 mg/day) in increasing hair count and width in males with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks, without causing irritation.

This research observed that Backhousia citriodora leaf extract effectively reduced sebum production and improved sebum composition across different ethnicities, significantly decreasing skin oiliness and the likelihood of shiny skin when used in a cream applied twice daily for 28 days.

This case report describes a patient with an allergic sensitization to minoxidil, indicating that such patients should pursue alternative therapies to treat androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers evaluated the stability and color changes of compounded minoxidil formulations used for alopecia, finding that while the formulations remained chemically and microbiologically stable for up to 380 days, significant color changes were observed, which likely do not affect the product's effectiveness.

In this study, researchers observed that a new peptide complex helped increase hair density in postmenopausal patients with female-type hair loss by promoting the transition of hair follicles from a resting stage to a growth stage.

In this study, researchers developed and validated a rapid and robust chromatographic method to assess the concentration of Minoxidil and Finasteride in a new topical formulation for alopecia, demonstrating its ability to distinguish between different types of formulations using in vitro diffusion data.

This study found that the optimal method to introduce Saw Palmetto extract into emulsion bases for androgenic alopecia treatment involves mixing it with 48% ethanol at the end of the formulation process.

Mimicking growth factors in a topical solution can prolong hair growth phase and reduce hair loss without side effects.

This study found that both intralesional steroid injections and Jessener solution were more effective than saline in treating alopecia areata, with no significant difference between the two active treatments.

This study found that compounded formulations using TrichoSol™ and TrichoFoam™ vehicles for alopecia treatments maintained stability and were effective for use up to 180 days, suggesting these vehicles are suitable for personalizing hair care solutions without significant degradation or physical changes.

This study evaluated the stability of multiple active ingredients in TrichoSol™ for use in alopecia treatments, finding varying stability durations at room temperature—up to 180 days for some ingredients—supporting its use as a compounding vehicle in personalized therapies.

This review discusses therapeutic deep eutectic solvents as promising "green" solutions for enhancing drug solubility and delivery through the skin, reporting no new clinical results and highlighting future research directions.

The investigators highlighted Roota Hair Growth as a promising botanical solution for hair concerns, suggesting it may improve hair health by addressing the root causes of thinning, breakage, and scalp fatigue.

This study highlights the importance of creating customized, evidence-based hair care solutions by considering scalp types and environmental factors, confirming the effectiveness of multidisciplinary approaches integrating dermatology, cosmetology, and trichology to develop safe and efficient products and treatments.

This study highlights the need for personalized hair care plans based on scalp type and environmental factors, underscoring the importance of targeted product selection and the involvement of professionals to create effective solutions for modern lifestyle issues.

In this study, researchers assessed the physical-chemical and microbiological stability of various pharmaceutical ingredients in the vehicle TrichoSolTM, finding differing beyond-use dates for the compounds, such as 180 days for cetirizine hydrochloride, but only 90 days for progesterone at higher concentrations.

This review provides an analysis of topical treatments with clinically proven efficacy for managing hyperpigmentation and concludes that the most effective approach is using combined therapies that target multiple aspects of skin pigmentation physiology.

This study found that the TrichoScan effectively measures hair growth changes, showing significant increases in hair counts and thickness in men with androgenetic alopecia after 6 months of using 5% minoxidil solution.

The abstract for Roota Hair Growth describes a product combining botanical extracts with clinically-tested ingredients to target hair thinning, breakage, and scalp fatigue by blocking DHT, strengthening hair fibers, and revitalizing the scalp through a precision roll-on applicator, offering a natural alternative for healthier hair.

This review examines the roles and benefits of chitosan in cosmetics and oral hygiene, highlighting its potential in the cosmeceutical market, but it reports no new results.
