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 Cetirizine

Is topical cetirizine effective for androgenetic alopecia in women? Topical cetirizine is not an approved product and its use for female-pattern hair loss is off-label. The evidence is one small unblinded pilot study in mixed-sex patients and one randomized trial in 66 women where cetirizine was added to minoxidil; it is unproven on its own.

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.

learn Glycerin

Does topical glycerin have any effect on hair thickness or follicle function? Topical glycerin primarily hydrates hair but does not increase thickness or follicle function.

learn L-cysteine

Can topical products with L-cysteine repair damaged hair or prevent breakage? Topical L-cysteine cannot effectively repair damaged hair or prevent breakage.
