Did you mean Skin Penetration?

GlossarySkin Penetration

process by which substances pass through the outer skin layer

Skin penetration refers to the process by which substances pass through the outermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum, to reach deeper layers. This is a critical concept in dermatology and pharmacology, as it influences the effectiveness of topical medications and skincare products. Factors such as molecular size, solubility, and the condition of the skin can affect how well a substance penetrates.

community Castor oil without using penetration enhancer after microneedling?

in Question 7 upvotes 8 years ago

The conversation is about whether castor oil can be effectively used alone after microneedling without a penetration enhancer like DMSO or ethanol. The user believes microneedling-induced wounds might be enough for absorption.

community Is there a way to boost/enhance the effects of minoxidil?

in Minoxidil 8 upvotes 6 years ago

Enhancing minoxidil effects can involve using penetration enhancers like DMSO, urea, or retinol, and methods like dermarolling and adding substances like biotin and L-carnitine tartrate. Some users suggest trying higher concentrations of minoxidil if lower percentages are ineffective.

community Tretinoin vs. micro-needling: what increases sulfotransferase activity more?

in Research/Science 1 upvotes 1 year ago

Tretinoin and microneedling both enhance hair growth through different mechanisms, with microneedling being considered safe for long-term use. Optimal microneedling needle length varies, but 0.8 mm is suggested for hair growth, and a Dermastamp is recommended to avoid skin damage.

community New to tretinoin, when to apply?

in Minoxidil 2 upvotes 6 months ago

The conversation is about using tretinoin to enhance the effectiveness of minoxidil for hair loss. Tretinoin should be applied at night on dry skin, and it can be used daily, either before or after minoxidil, with a starting dose of 0.025%.

community Topical tretinoin increases minoxidil absorption by 3x. Thoughts?

in Minoxidil 36 upvotes 7 years ago

Topical tretinoin can increase the absorption of minoxidil by three times, which may enhance its effectiveness for hair loss treatment. Tretinoin causes increased skin turnover, making the skin more permeable and potentially improving minoxidil's efficacy.
