DEBUTYLAMINO FINASTERIDOYL SH-PENTAPEPTIDE-12 SP

Description

DEBUTYLAMINO FINASTERIDOYL SH-PENTAPEPTIDE-12 SP is an innovative synthetic peptide designed to target hair loss and promote hair growth. This complex molecule combines elements of finasteride, a well-known 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, with a modified pentapeptide sequence. The unique structure allows for enhanced penetration through the skin barrier and improved stability compared to traditional hair growth compounds.

The ingredient works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a primary cause of androgenetic alopecia. Additionally, the pentapeptide component stimulates hair follicle stem cells, promoting the anagen phase of hair growth. Studies have shown that DEBUTYLAMINO FINASTERIDOYL SH-PENTAPEPTIDE-12 SP demonstrates superior efficacy compared to finasteride alone, with a more favorable side effect profile.

Formulations containing this ingredient are typically applied topically and are suitable for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or loss. The compound's molecular weight and lipophilicity contribute to its ability to penetrate the scalp and reach the hair follicles effectively. Regular use may lead to visible improvements in hair density and thickness within 3-6 months of consistent application.
