research Cosmetics and Cosmeceutical Applications of Chitin, Chitosan and Their Derivatives
Chitin and chitosan are useful in cosmetics for oral care, haircare, and skincare, including UV protection and strength improvement.
research Chitosan and its amphiphilic derivative nanoparticles loaded with Minoxidil for induction of hair growth: In vitro and in vivo evaluation
Chitosan nanoparticles loaded with Minoxidil were effective for hair growth but released the drug more slowly than the amphiphilic derivative.
research Bio-macromolecules/modified-halloysite composite hydrogel used as multi-functional wound dressing
The new hydrogel is good for wound dressing because it absorbs water quickly, has high porosity, can release drugs, fights bacteria, and helps wounds heal with less scarring.
research Hair Biology and Care Product Ingredients from Marine Organisms
Marine-derived ingredients show potential for hair health but need more human trials to confirm effectiveness.
research Development and ex-vivo skin permeation studies of finasteride–poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) and minoxidil–chitosan nanoparticulate systems
Nanoparticles show potential for controlled release of hair loss drugs, improving treatment effectiveness.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Topical Finasteride with Chitosan: an overlooked solution?
Topical finasteride with hydroxypropyl chitosan shows significantly less serum absorption and minimal DHT reduction compared to oral finasteride. Users need the specific chitosan formulation to avoid side effects seen with regular ethanol+PG solutions.
community Are we underestimating systemic absorption with homemade/generic Topical Fin? (HPCH vs. PG/Ethanol formulations)
Topical finasteride may have higher systemic absorption and lower efficacy when using a Propylene Glycol/Ethanol formulation compared to the hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCH) formulation. The safety profile of topical finasteride relies heavily on the HPCH formulation, and using standard solutions might lead to different pharmacokinetics.
community Estradiol mesotherapy / idea feedback
The conversation discusses using estradiol mesotherapy to replicate hormone replacement therapy results while minimizing systemic exposure. It also covers the use of Spironolactone cream, which reportedly has no systemic side effects, and the potential risks of using bicalutamide and Spironolactone in men.
community Solvent for topical fin with low absorption
The conversation is about using distilled water as a solvent for topical finasteride to reduce systemic absorption. The user is considering avoiding ethanol and propylene glycol to achieve this.
community to all people who cannot tolerate anti androgens (loe dose topical fin, pyrilutamide, CB) i am getting desperate, looking for a solution
The user tried Minoxidil without success, and Finasteride worked but caused sexual side effects even at a very low dose. They are seeking alternative treatments for hair loss as they cannot tolerate anti-androgens and are also in therapy for mental health.
