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 Keratin microspheres - breakthrough
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
community Best way to go about making a DIY topical fin for someone who's allergic to PG?
A user allergic to propylene glycol seeks alternatives for a DIY topical finasteride solution, considering glycerin or glycerol-based vehicles. Another user suggests a recipe using propanediol, DMSO, MCT oil, and peppermint oil, incorporating minoxidil, dutasteride, and finasteride.
community Topical fin - why are people still using alcohol carriers when liposomal is proven to be better?
Liposomal carriers for topical finasteride offer better targeting, reduced side effects, and less irritation compared to alcohol-based solutions, but availability and cost may limit their use. Minoxidil can dissolve in liposomal carriers, enhancing delivery and stability.
community Topical finasteride carrier vehicle
The user is using a topical solution containing 1% finasteride and 5% minoxidil for hair loss, with water, glycerin, and PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil as carrier agents. They are questioning if these ingredients are effective carriers after using the solution for three months.
community Mallia Aesthetics achieves key regulatory steps for novel sCD83-derived ingredient for hair growth
Mallia Aesthetics has developed MAL-838, a hormone-free product derived from sCD83, which stimulates hair growth without disrupting the skin microbiome. sCD83 promotes hair growth by activating hair follicles and preventing cell death, offering a localized treatment without systemic side effects.
community Trichosol, polyethylene glycol, and DMSO
The user experiences irritation from alcohols in minoxidil and is considering alternatives like trichosol mixed with polyethylene glycol or DMSO. They seek advice on the best nonirritating option.
community Using a 2-deoxy-d-ribose gel. My experience 2 weeks in.
The user switched from minoxidil to a homemade 2-deoxy-d-ribose gel and noticed no hair fall after two weeks, despite stopping minoxidil. The gel includes water, 2-deoxy-d-ribose, vegetable glycerine, 2-phenoxyethanol, sodium alginate, and rosemary oil, and the user reports healthier-feeling hair.
community Creating Your Own Topicals: A Guide
Creating a carrier solution for topical hair loss treatments using ethanol, propylene glycol or glycerin, and instructions on creating topical finasteride. Different recipes are provided with varying ratios of alcohol to humectant.
community Has Anyone used deoxyribose sugar (gel) and seen notable results?
Deoxyribose sugar gel is discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, but it lacks human trials and credible evidence. Users express skepticism and humor about its effectiveness compared to established treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
community Best way to go about making a DIY topical fin for someone who's allergic to PG?
The conversation discusses creating a DIY topical finasteride solution for someone allergic to propylene glycol, with suggestions to use glycerin or a glycerol-based vehicle instead. The user also mentions using foam minoxidil.
community Is it safe to use 70% isopropyl alcohol/rubbing alcohol as a carrier agent for topical fin?
A user is considering using 70% isopropyl alcohol with glycerin as a carrier for topical finasteride for hair loss but is concerned about its safety compared to ethanol. They are unsure where to buy ethanol without toxic methanol.
community Glycine supplementaion is said to strongly upregulate 5-alpha Reductase (5-ar) Activity
Glycine supplementation may increase 5-alpha reductase activity, potentially affecting hair loss. Users discuss its impact on hair fall and its role in the body.
community Anyone tried Dr. Rassman's topical Finasteride? Is it liposomal?
The conversation discusses concerns about Dr. Rassman's topical Finasteride, specifically whether it is liposomal or glycol-based. Dr. Rassman insists on providing the correct liposomal formulation and urges patients to contact him if they receive the wrong product.
community Has anyone tried Exosomes from Musely or somewhere else?
