5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Comparison of stratum corneum penetration and localization of a lipophilic model drug applied in an o/w microemulsion and an amphiphilic cream
The microemulsion delivered the dye deeper into the skin than the cream.
research Mechanism of transdermal permeation promotion of lipophilic drugs by ethosomes
Ethosomes are effective for delivering drugs through the skin by penetrating deeply and targeting hair follicles.
research Penetration and distribution of three lipophilic probes in vitro in human skin focusing on the hair follicle
Medium lipophilic substances penetrate skin best, and adding ethanol can increase delivery to hair follicles.
research Improvement of Hair Damage by Lipophilic Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate)
Lipophilic Vitamin C improves damaged hair texture and condition.
research A Composite Model for the Transport of Hydrophilic and Lipophilic Compounds Across the Skin: Steady-State Behavior
The model better predicts how water-loving and fat-loving substances move through the skin by including tiny pores and hair follicle paths.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Why is dutasteride's volume of distribution so much bigger than finasteride? Is it more lipophilic and crosses barriers better?
Dutasteride has a larger volume of distribution than finasteride due to its lipophilic nature, allowing it to concentrate in hydrophobic areas and making it difficult to excrete. A user experiencing hair loss has been using oral finasteride for 10 months with minimal regrowth and is considering switching to dutasteride or adding oral minoxidil.
community Topical Dutasteride & Microneedling Works
Topical dutasteride, especially at higher concentrations, can be effective for hair loss when combined with microneedling to enhance absorption. Users discuss the side effects of finasteride and dutasteride, with some preferring topical treatments to avoid systemic side effects.
community How important is it for dutasteride to be in gel capsule form?
Dutasteride is more effective in gel capsule form due to better absorption, as it is fat-soluble. If only pills are available, taking them with fat or increasing the dose slightly may help.
community Napkin math: are we using 100x more topical finasteride than necessary?
Topical finasteride concentrations are likely much higher than necessary for effective follicular DHT suppression, with current standards being 100-1000 times above the theoretical minimum. Lower concentrations (0.001-0.0025%) might still work locally while minimizing systemic exposure.
community Compounded Dutasteride Absorption
Mixing Dutasteride with MCT oil may improve absorption due to its fat-soluble nature. Users suggest taking it with whole milk or using oil-based capsules for better effectiveness.
