Did you mean Lipid Layer?

GlossaryLipid Layer

thin, oily barrier covering cell surfaces, retaining moisture

The lipid layer is a thin, oily barrier that covers the surface of cells, including those in the skin and hair. It helps to retain moisture, protect against environmental damage, and maintain the integrity of the cell structure. In the context of hair, the lipid layer contributes to the hair's shine and smoothness by sealing in moisture and reducing friction.

community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

in Research/Science 63 upvotes 2 years ago

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

community So does oral minoxidil age your skin or not

in Minoxidil 43 upvotes 2 years ago

Oral minoxidil may cause dry skin and dark eye bags but doesn't significantly age the skin. Topical minoxidil is toxic to cats, and some users prefer finasteride.

community Topical Finasteride that doesn’t go systematic is the cure

in Treatment 3 upvotes 1 year ago

Topical finasteride that doesn't penetrate the skin could potentially treat hair loss without side effects. Current challenges include finding a formulation that remains on the scalp without increasing blood levels.

community Loosing hope after not seeing improvement in hair regrowth.

in Minoxidil 7 upvotes 2 years ago

A 22-year-old male is not seeing hair regrowth after using minoxidil and finasteride for a year and additional treatments for three months. Suggestions include improving scalp absorption with sea salt and trying a lipid-based solution, microneedling, and possibly switching to dutasteride if no improvement after 1-2 years.

community PP405 is NOT gray market jxl069

in Technology 26 upvotes 6 months ago

PP405 is a safer alternative to JXL069 for hair loss treatment because it penetrates the skin effectively and degrades in the blood, avoiding systemic toxicity. JXL069, when forced into the body, can cause dangerous side effects like lactic acidosis due to its inability to degrade safely.
