research Retinoid Metabolism Is Altered in Human and Mouse Cicatricial Alopecia
Altered retinoid metabolism in cicatricial alopecia suggests a balanced vitamin A diet may prevent the condition.
research Effects of Acute UVB on Retinoid Metabolism
UVB exposure increases skin proteins for retinoic acid synthesis and shifts their location, possibly affecting skin repair.
research Hair Follicle Stem Cells Maintain the Differentiation Refractory Niche for Co-Occupant Melanocyte Stem Cells by Regulating Retinoid Metabolic Process
Hair follicle stem cells prevent melanocyte stem cells from differentiating by controlling retinoic acid levels.
research Retinoic acid exerts sexually dimorphic effects on muscle energy metabolism and function
Retinoic acid affects male and female muscle energy use and function differently.
research Endogenous retinoids in the hair follicle and sebaceous gland
Maintaining the right amount of retinoic acid is crucial for healthy hair and skin.

5 / 216 resultscommunity Minoxidil works only with Retinoic acid
Minoxidil is more effective when combined with retinoic acid, such as tretinoin or tazarotene, enhancing hair growth. Some users experience significant regrowth, while others see minimal effects or side effects.
community How many of you guys have taken accutane?
Accutane may accelerate hair loss in genetically predisposed individuals by affecting enzymes related to DHT metabolism. Some users report hair loss after taking Accutane, while others use treatments like finasteride and minoxidil to manage hair loss.
community Almost 7 months on topical fin/min- not seeing much benefit
A 39-year-old user has been using topical 0.3% finasteride with 6% minoxidil for almost 7 months without seeing significant improvement in hair regrowth. They are considering switching to a gel with higher minoxidil concentration, adding retinoic acid, or trying topical dutasteride, while others suggest returning to 5% minoxidil foam, adding oral finasteride, or exploring microneedling and lifestyle changes.
community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil
Painkillers like Aspirin may reduce Minoxidil's effectiveness by inhibiting the enzyme PGHS-1, which is crucial for hair growth. Using NSAIDs that inhibit COX-2 or combining Minoxidil with PGF2/E2 analogues or retinoids may enhance its efficacy.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
