5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Vitamin C and hair growth PH levels
The conversation is about using vitamin C and Magnesium L-Threonate for hair growth by reducing DHT binding to dermal papilla cells. The original post about vitamin C's pH levels and sebum control was possibly removed by a moderator.
community Serum based on plant extracts boosts hair growth in weeks.
A serum containing Centella asiatica extracellular vesicles, IGF-1, FGF-7, and caffeine significantly improved hair thickness, density, length, and reduced hair loss after 56 days. The conversation also discusses how treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole address different aspects of hair loss by reducing DHT, improving blood flow, and lowering inflammation.
community Serum DHT data wanted for insights into dutasteride efficacy. Please get in touch!
The conversation is about gathering serum DHT data from individuals taking dutasteride to investigate its efficacy, especially in cases with unexpectedly low DHT reduction. The aim is to explore potential genetic factors affecting drug metabolism.
community Sebum production even on dutasteride, and its relation to MPB.
The conversation discusses managing hair loss and scalp issues, with users sharing experiences using treatments like dutasteride, finasteride, ketoconazole, sulfur soap, and topical anti-androgens. Suggestions include trying sulfur soap, scalp massages, spironolactone, and dietary changes to reduce sebum production and dandruff.
community For people with overly oily hair, does topical finasteride/dutasteride/antiandrogens (like RU or Pyrilutamide) reduce sebum overproduction?
The conversation discusses whether topical finasteride, dutasteride, or antiandrogens like RU58841 can reduce sebum overproduction as an early indicator of their effectiveness in treating hair loss. It suggests that while hair growth may take months to observe, a decrease in oiliness could be a quicker sign of a product's action.
