what is that :O
Aminexil.
Did they make the same claims of clinical results with Aminexil as they're doing here??? Seems like they are more aggressive this time
They really pimped it out, my question is if it's like minoxidil, I wouldn't want to keep applying this stuff. If it works and you could maintain the new hairs with finasteride or dutasteride that would justify the high price.
The molecule Stemoxydine: study of 101 patients Molecule presented as revolutionary, Stemoxydine was administered as lotion dosed at 5%, applied once a day for three months to 53 guinea pigs of 101 volunteers for its clinical testing. The remaining 48 were massaged the scalp with a very trivial hydroalcoholic solution placebo.
Ultimately, none of the subjects treated Stemoxydine did, of course, ended up with a hair lush Samson, but "in the third month, capillary density was significantly higher than in the other" , noted the authors of the study believe today that the new molecule is "the treatment of capillary renaissance" of tomorrow. They confirmed their measurements with "phototrichogram", that is to say, the marking of a region of the skull affected by partial alopecia shaved and photographed.
Three months later, the comparison photo is a real effect "before and after". In any case, "the subjects perceived an increase in size and abundance, as well as improved ease of styling," explains Professor Pascal Reygagne dermatologist center Sabouraud.
Yeah, they make these huge percentage claims each time around...just check out any Inneov product on google translate...thats what makes me a bit downcast on what these guys are claiming this time around..
They use percentages liberally..
I do hope though that they are right this time around.
At bloody 90 Euros + shipping costs, they are asking for huge amounts!
Plus, typical L'Oreal they say 3 months for treatment, but dont mention whether it will remain thereafter. Their usual claim is yes, at 15 days after cessation of treatment, 85% say yes, but then its AFTER two weeks that we tend to lose all the gains. So how the heck can the treatment be only for 3 months?
Only hope is that it works at even 3 ml per day, so we can stretch out a 1 month treatment to 2 that..even 7months at say 108 Euros...is 800 odd Euros!!
But L'Oreal is busy coming out with stuff with minimal research so far..
Taurine supplement - hit and miss
Hair Mass- finasteride equivalent and of course it'd have sides but LO doesnt even mention it..reverse engineering how finasteride works but using Beta sisterols to claim the natural angle..as if
Aminexil - I havent heard a SINGLE positive comment about it so far? I think it was typical reverse engineering from LOreal to make a patentable version of Minoxidil
I hope this product is better and safe and LOreal is not BS'ing..

Its probably JUST like minoxidil IF it works...I mean think about it, how can a topical for 3 months reverse and permanently turn on a hypoxic environment from the reverse earlier.. pretty much every medicine out there takes repeated use....and the pimped out applicator and stuff is the gold plating to make u feel u didnt get gypped for 90 Euros.
I got gypped by Divine Skincare when I used their Spectral-L or somesuch thing claiming to have Astressin-B. Fancy packaging and all, but zero use.
Still have a bottle lying around.
The only hope for us is
a) It works at even reduced dosages OR
b) IF it works then after 3 months, reduced dosages possible for maintenance

Lot's of "if's", I'm hoping it works and it isn't such garbage as minoxidil.
Ok, capillary density increase by 4%. CD means number of hairs anchored per cm2 of scalp. So its basically the amount of hairs. Which is what translates to the 1700 hairs they are claiming in 3 months.
Basically, this is a new Minoxidil.
I am ok with that, but for the darn price!!!!
I like the once per day application...that's almost worth the extra cost for me
This could turn out to be just a massively expensive SNAKE OIL.
I shall wait and see, as the 90 Euro a month and if it work crap all, I'm sure there be many people who be ****ting themself.
Then the rest of us will hear the story alright. I mean how much harm can it do to wait another 5-6 months, it's not like anyone will go from nw3 to nw4 in that short period.
One potential treatment that has made its way into the market in France already is based on a study from the L’Oreal group in France focused on hypoxia. The study concluded that molecules that mimic hypoxic signalling, such as stemoxydine (marketed as Neogenic), can act as a hair kenogen (the very last stage in the hair life cycle) phase shortener leading to increased visible scalp hair density. The theory is all and well, but we have not seen convincing clinical evidence yet, so the jury is out on this one for now!
For those who are already suffering from lack of hair density, it is recommended that Dercos Neogenic cure of Vichy. It ensures that the hair follicles faster wake from their sleep phase and produce new hair.
In Italy the product was launched on the market this week. We can buy it in many pharmacies
