Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a unique blend of Aloe Vera 0.05%, Caffeine 1%, Finasteride 0.1%, Minoxidil 10%, and Tretinoin 0.025% in a topical foam. It is designed to be dispensed in a foamer bottle, which transforms the solution into a lightweight foam upon dispensing. This foam is easily spreadable, providing efficient coverage and absorption of the active ingredients into the skin. The formulation is specifically designed for topical application, making it an ideal treatment for various skin conditions.

Aloe Vera, known for its soothing and healing properties, helps to reduce skin inflammation and promote healing. Caffeine, a natural stimulant, helps to tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of cellulite. It also has antioxidant properties that can help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.

Finasteride is a medication that is commonly used to treat male pattern baldness. It works by preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that can cause hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hair. Minoxidil, another key ingredient, is a vasodilator that is often used to treat hair loss. It works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles, which can stimulate hair growth and prevent further hair loss.

Tretinoin, a form of vitamin A, is used to treat acne and other skin conditions. It works by promoting the turnover of skin cells, which can help to unclog pores and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also has the ability to stimulate collagen production, which can improve the texture and elasticity of the skin.

This formulation is designed to deliver these therapeutic agents with enhanced efficacy and ease of application. The foam format allows for a more uniform distribution of the active ingredients, ensuring that they are absorbed effectively into the skin. This can lead to improved treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Aloe Vera is generally considered safe for topical use, but it may interact with certain medications if ingested. It's important to note that this formulation is intended for topical use only. If you are taking any oral medications, especially those for diabetes or heart conditions, consult your healthcare provider before using this product.

Caffeine can interact with certain medications, including some antibiotics, asthma medications, and heart medications. While the amount of caffeine in this formulation is relatively small, it's still important to discuss with your healthcare provider if you are taking any of these medications.

Finasteride can interact with certain medications, including some used for prostate conditions and hair loss.

Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle finasteride, as it can cause birth defects.

Minoxidil can interact with certain medications, including high blood pressure medications. If you are taking any of these medications, consult your healthcare provider before using this product. Minoxidil can also cause increased heart rate and fluid retention in some people.

Tretinoin can interact with certain medications, including some antibiotics, other acne medications, and products containing sulfur, resorcinol, or salicylic acid. If you are using any of these products, consult your healthcare provider before using this product. Tretinoin can also increase your sensitivity to the sun, so it's important to use sun protection while using this product.

This formulation is designed to treat various skin conditions.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This unique formulation combines the therapeutic benefits of Aloe Vera, Caffeine, Finasteride, Minoxidil, and Tretinoin in a topical foam. Each of these ingredients plays a crucial role in treating various skin conditions.

Aloe Vera 0.05% is renowned for its soothing and healing properties. It helps to reduce skin inflammation, promote wound healing, and provide a protective layer on the skin which helps to retain moisture. It's also rich in antioxidants and minerals that can help speed healing.

Caffeine 1% is a powerful antioxidant that can protect the skin from UV radiation and slow down the aging process of the skin. It also improves circulation, which can lead to healthier and more vibrant skin. Furthermore, caffeine has a constricting effect, which can help reduce inflammation and puffiness.

Finasteride 0.1% is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness at the crown and in the middle of the scalp. It works by preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. DHT is involved in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and hair loss. This ingredient is not intended for use by women.

Minoxidil 10% is a vasodilator that is widely used to slow or stop hair loss and promote hair regrowth. It is believed to prolong the growth phase of the hair follicles and stimulate partially inactive follicles to become fully active again.

Tretinoin 0.025% is a form of vitamin A that helps the skin renew itself. It is commonly used to treat acne and reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles and mottled skin discoloration, and to make rough facial skin feel smoother.

The foam delivery system is designed to enhance the absorption of these active ingredients. The lightweight, easily spreadable consistency of the foam allows for efficient coverage and absorption, delivering the therapeutic agents with enhanced efficacy and ease of application.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation contains several active ingredients that traditionally are used to treat a variety of conditions. While primarily aimed at treating conditions like hair loss (finasteride, minoxidil), acne and other skin conditions (tretinoin), inflammation (aloe vera), and promoting fat burning (caffeine), the properties of these ingredients could also be beneficial as adjunctive treatment alternatives in other disease states.

Finasteride, a hair growth stimulant, has often been used off-label in managing hirsutism (excessive hair growth) in women. Its ability to inhibit the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) helps to slow the growth rate of unwanted hair. On the other hand, Minoxidil is a well-known peripheral vasodilator which has also found usefulness in lichen planus, psoriasis, and its related conditions.

Tretinoin, a form of vitamin A, is known for its role in treating acne. However, its effects on skin cell turnover also means it is sometimes recommended for keratosis pilaris, a common skin condition that causes rough patches of bumps on the skin. Additionally, it can be used in the management of photodamaged skin due to sun exposure.

Aloe Vera, being a natural anti-inflammatory agent, may offer relief for various dermatologic conditions like minor burns, sunburns and inflammatory skin disorders beyond its traditional use. Caffeine's antioxidant properties may be beneficial to the skin, helping in the reduction of redness or discoloration, making it an interesting component in conditions such as rosacea or signs of aging.

It should be noted that while there may be potential benefits using this formulation for other uses, consultation with a healthcare provider is always recommended. As compounding pharmacists, we urge both patients and prescribers to reach out to us should you have any queries about using this formulation for any alternative applications.
