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.

DHT causes hair loss by driving cells into senescence, and a polyphenol in black chokeberry may reverse this. A product using this theory is being considered for use alongside finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling.

The conversation discusses the best ethanol and propylene glycol ratio for homemade topical finasteride, with a focus on absorption and drying issues. The user shares their experience using a 50% propylene glycol, 30% ethanol, and 20% water solution, and considers adjusting the ethanol content for better results.

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.

The conversation is about finding cheaper alternatives for hair loss treatments. Specific treatments mentioned include finasteride and L'Oréal Paris Elvital Hyaluron Plump Leave-In Spray.

The user has been mixing finasteride with stemoxydine for hair loss and is considering switching to a less expensive product with a different ingredient list. They are questioning if the new product's higher water content compared to alcohol will affect the finasteride's solubility.

OP asked if a product from Amazon is sufficient to dilute finasteride. A user advised against using propylene glycol alone, suggesting a pre-made solution instead.

The conversation discusses making topical finasteride at home, questioning the necessity of removing the pill's coating before use. Users suggest that the coating isn't harmful, and finasteride dissolves in ethanol, with some recommending filtering out the coating and fillers.

A user made a 70/30 ethanol/propylene glycol topical finasteride solution but noticed chunks at the bottom. The discussion focuses on this issue with the DIY hair loss treatment.

The conversation is about a user who tried dissolving a metformin pill in water for hair treatment but faced issues with hair sticking together. The user is seeking advice on preparing a non-irritating, non-sticky lotion at home, possibly experimenting with metformin and Alpha Keto glutarate.

The user is seeking an alternative solvent for pyrilutamide due to skin irritation from ethanol and propylene glycol. They experienced similar issues with topical minoxidil.

The conversation is about whether dissolving finasteride in water affects its effectiveness. The user is concerned about the impact of water on the medication's efficacy over five days.

Users discussed the effectiveness of Everychem's solution, similar to PP405, with some reporting improved hair thickness and new growth. Concerns were raised about safety and the legitimacy of the product, with some users advising against purchasing research chemicals.

Ethanol left in the sun is still usable as a vehicle for compounds like CB, as no chemical changes occur at 84°F.

The conversation discusses the differences between KB solution and PG + Ethanol solution for RU58841 in treating hair loss. It compares the effectiveness and properties of these two solutions.

The user is considering making a homemade topical finasteride solution using an ethanol-based carrier. They are inquiring if a solution containing partially denatured ethyl alcohol and benzalkonium chloride is suitable.

Creating a propylene glycol-free Minoxidil and Tretinoin solution to reduce skin irritation and enhance effectiveness. An emulsifier like lecithin can help mix Tretinoin properly, and Minoxidil foam is an alternative without propylene glycol.

The conversation discusses using RU58841 mixed with topical minoxidil for hair loss, noting its chemical instability and storage challenges. A user shares their experience using RU58841 with ethanol and propylene glycol, mentioning no significant results yet.

The user mixes their own RU58841 solution and found that increasing the ethanol content improved absorption and reduced scalp itching. A study on minoxidil showed that penetration increased with higher ethanol concentrations, reaching maximum penetration at 90% ethanol.

RU58841 is being mixed with Minoxidil solution, but concerns arise about water causing instability. Mixing with water may lead to hydrolysis, potentially reducing effectiveness.

The potential stability of pyrilutamide in a mixture with water, and how it could be used in combination with Minoxidil and Finasteride to treat hair loss.

The conversation discusses the differences between PG/Ethanol and KB solutions for RU58841 application, focusing on potential scalp irritation. KB solution is suggested for those allergic to PG, though both contain ethanol which can dry the scalp.

RU58841 solution developed crystals after refrigeration. Letting it reach room temperature and shaking can dissolve the crystals.

Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.

Treatments for hair loss, such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841, as well as using serrapeptase to break up scar tissue in the scalp.

High cost of studying 3α-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in hair loss led to suggestions of crowdfunding for research. Users discussed using Procyanidin B2/melatonin topical treatment and tracking funds with blockchain.

A user speculates that a fast metabolism might affect the effectiveness of dutasteride for hair loss. Another user argues that drug response is unrelated to metabolism speed.

Mixing RU58841 powder into minoxidil can result in undissolved particles. Shaking the bottle and breaking up the grains may help dissolve it better.

The conversation is about making a solution of RU58841 using propanediol instead of propylene glycol due to skin irritation. The user seeks advice on whether this substitution is acceptable.

A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.
