    TLDR The formulation significantly increased hair density and thickness safely in people with androgenetic alopecia.
    The study evaluated the efficacy of a multi-targeted cosmetic formulation containing PYGL, DP2, and 15-PGDH inhibitors in promoting hair growth in individuals with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks. Conducted as a randomized controlled trial with 56 participants (49 completing the study), the formulation significantly improved hair density and thickness compared to the placebo group. The test group experienced a 4.43 n/cm² increase in hair density and a 0.010 mm increase in hair thickness, with no adverse effects reported. These findings suggest that the formulation could be a promising, safe, non-pharmacological treatment for androgenetic alopecia, although further research with larger populations is recommended.
