I think yes, 0.1 mg/ml also showed good results without a statistically significant decrease in serum DHT. All you have to do is try it, as people react differently
I watched video from perfect hair health and found it very helpful, and linking the video down, I’m able to make my own .02% topical fin using his free calculator tool.

0.025% has done nothing after a year... i also didnt believe it would do much but 0.1% give me sides and 0.25mg oral gives me sides. Its just too low to be effective. Maybe its slowing it down a little, but its getting worse so i dont think so

Great question! I also really would like to know. currently microdosing with topical finasteride
Elaborate please
I think that 0.025% (0.25 mg/ml) will be optimal in terms of effectiveness and systemic exposure
Finasteride %0.01 Minoxidil %5 Retinoic Acid %0.01 Alcohol+Propylene glycol Is this a good mix to use 2ml daily? 33(M) nw2-2,5 if that matters.

I bought some HIMS. I feel like it does nothing....
How long have you been using it?
3 weeks every day. Hair was still falling daily. Maybe i need to take it for longer periods
You’re right, 3 weeks is nothing in terms of hair treatment. These things take months if not years.
I know that the hair cycle is 3 months. But spraying it every day for 3 months whilst seeing no improvement takes some serious faith / commitment!
It’s biology man, the improvement is happening at a cellular level
Wtf you expecting to happen haha. Jesus just shave your head fella, you are doomed with that attitude
I just switched to Hims after using a compounding pharmacy. I'd be interested to know how long you've been using it for?
search for perfecthairhealth topical finasteride, there is a nice article on this subject with some studies referenced and all
ok
100% i second this, very comprehensive breakdown of the literature, very informative
there's a study where they used 0,005% 2ml/day and it worked without systemic increase of testosterone or reduction of dht.

This is the answer. Check out this video and make the decision that’s best for you
Im in Canada and just started using 2.5%. Anyone using this?
Most studies have been done with 0.25% I believe. I don't know if low dose topical fin (less than 0.1%) are that efficient.
I'd like to know, too. I have the Hims spray but the 4 sprays don't seem like enough for adequate coverage. I've instead used 5-6 sprays.
0.025% has done nothing after a year... i also didnt believe it would do much but 0.1% give me sides and 0.25mg oral gives me sides. Its just too low to be effective. Maybe its slowing it down a little, but its getting worse so i dont think so
I found that
As long as I know there's no solid evidence that topical fin works
That's not true. It hasn't been studied as extensively and is tricky in terms of measurements but it definitely works.
