Did you mean Skin Penetration?

Glossary Skin Penetration

process by which substances pass through the outer skin layer

Skin penetration refers to the process by which substances pass through the outermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum, to reach deeper layers. This is a critical concept in dermatology and pharmacology, as it influences the effectiveness of topical medications and skincare products. Factors such as molecular size, solubility, and the condition of the skin can affect how well a substance penetrates.

community Tretinoin vs. micro-needling: what increases sulfotransferase activity more?

in Research/Science 1 upvotes 1 year ago

Tretinoin and microneedling both enhance hair growth through different mechanisms, with microneedling being considered safe for long-term use. Optimal microneedling needle length varies, but 0.8 mm is suggested for hair growth, and a Dermastamp is recommended to avoid skin damage.

community New to tretinoin, when to apply?

2 upvotes 8 months ago

The conversation is about using tretinoin to enhance the effectiveness of minoxidil for hair loss. Tretinoin should be applied at night on dry skin, and it can be used daily, either before or after minoxidil, with a starting dose of 0.025%.

Do you want finasteride to penetrate better? The ideal solvent to maximize its effect. Formulation sources describe propylene glycol and microemulsion vehicles as increasing how much topical finasteride crosses the skin, but better penetration has not been shown to mean better hair results, and it also raises systemic exposure. The vehicle and strength are decisions for a prescriber or compounding pharmacist.
