H&W is a different case.
First of all, the Brotion uses liposomal to increase absorption, which is good. In the case of finasteride, there is no need to increase absorption as that chemical goes everywhere: the skin, the blood, the brain, etc. What they wanted to do was actually decrease absorption, and lock it into the scalp.
The presence of sides means that this didn't work. Part of that may be due to their idiotic dosage. When I checked, H&W's dosage of finasteride was a colossal 2.5 mg/day. There is ... absolutely no need for such a large dosage. If anything, all signs point to the standard dose of 1.0 mg/day already being too high. Further, if one only wants finasteride in the scalp and not in the blood and brain, then dosage should be reduced even further as the skin requires a smaller dose.
TDLR - H&W may have had no clue.
Makes sense! So liposomal delivery can be used to both increase or limit absorption?
