Logical reason as to why people don't get results on dutasteride? Finasteride/Dutasteride 8/4/2025
Many users report better results with finasteride than dutasteride for hair loss, despite studies suggesting otherwise. Some suggest that dutasteride's effectiveness may depend on the delivery method, such as using lipids for absorption.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Loosing hope after not seeing improvement in hair regrowth.
A 22-year-old male is not seeing hair regrowth after using minoxidil and finasteride for a year and additional treatments for three months. Suggestions include improving scalp absorption with sea salt and trying a lipid-based solution, microneedling, and possibly switching to dutasteride if no improvement after 1-2 years.
community Topical Dutasteride. Does it work?
Topical dutasteride may be effective for hair loss by staying in the scalp and minimizing bloodstream absorption, potentially improving hair results and reducing side effects. The user seeks advice on its effectiveness.
community Dr. Rassman’s topical liposomal finasteride - gyno question
User discusses topical liposomal finasteride for hair loss, hoping to avoid breast growth side effect. Conversation includes using minoxidil, fluridil, and dermarolling, and mentions minimal systemic absorption of liposomal finasteride.
community My DHT levels while being on DUT for a year
The conversation discusses the ineffectiveness of tablet forms of dutasteride for hair loss due to poor absorption compared to soft gel capsules. It suggests switching to FDA-approved soft gel capsules for better results, as tablets may not adequately suppress DHT levels.
community Phase II topical dut study - outperforms oral fin with a minor DHT reduction
Topical dutasteride 0.05% is more effective for hair growth than oral finasteride 1mg, with minimal DHT reduction. The formulation uses castor oil and MCTs for better absorption but is not widely available until 2028.
