5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Assessment of penetration of Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate into biological membranes by molecular dynamics
Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate penetrates skin better in the stratum corneum than in the infundibulum.
research Penetration of different molecular weight hydrolysed keratins into hair fibres and their effects on the physical properties of textured hair
Different sizes of keratin peptides can strengthen hair, with smaller ones possibly increasing volume and larger ones repairing damage.
research ATOMISTIC CHARACTERIZATION OF HEALTHY AND DAMAGED HAIR SURFACES: A MOLECULAR DYNAMICS STUDY OF FATTY ACIDS ON PROTEIN LAYER
Replenishing free 18-MEA can help restore damaged hair surfaces.
research Analysis of hair follicle penetration of lidocaine and fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran 4 kDa using hair follicle-plugging method
Hair follicles are important for the absorption of certain drugs into the skin.
research Hyaluronic acid: elucidating its penetration into, and effect on hair fibers using confocal Raman spectroscopy and biometric techniques

5 / 723 resultscommunity This, and the UCLA molecule(linked article in comments)…I have great hopes
Oleic acid and ethanol are being considered for hair regrowth, with some users planning to self-experiment. There is skepticism about their effectiveness, and ongoing use of treatments like finasteride and minoxidil is mentioned.
community IGF-1 and Peptides? Miracle molecule waiting to be found
The conversation discusses potential hair loss treatments focusing on stimulating IGF-1 at the follicle level using growth-factor cocktails and engineered peptides, such as Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-20, Thymosin-β4, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. It suggests that device-assisted delivery methods like microneedling may enhance effectiveness.
community Efficacy and Systemic DHT Suppression of Topical Finasteride vs Dutasteride
Topical dutasteride may have limited absorption due to its higher molecular mass compared to finasteride, potentially affecting its efficacy in suppressing DHT locally. Microneedling might enhance dutasteride absorption, possibly offering stronger local DHT suppression with fewer systemic effects.
community Nanoxidil Is Probably Better Than Minoxidil. Big Pharma Is Why You’ve Never Heard Of It.
Nanoxidil may be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss due to better follicle penetration, but it lacks widespread recognition and research because it's owned by a small company and classified as a cosmetic. The pharmaceutical system favors Minoxidil due to its established market presence and profitability, leaving Nanoxidil largely unstudied and unknown.
community Topical dutasteride significantly outperforms oral finasteride
Topical dutasteride 0.05% is reported to outperform oral finasteride with minimal side effects, but concerns about study bias exist due to company funding. Some users report mixed results with topical dutasteride, noting issues with skin penetration and systemic absorption.
