A new topical hair loss treatment called clascoterone has finished two large phase 3 trials, and the dermatology world is calling it the first new way to treat pattern hair loss in decades. Here’s how it works: it doesn’t lower DHT. It sits in DHT’s parking spot on the follicle, so DHT can’t dock and tell your hair to shrink. It’s already FDA-approved as a 1% acne cream called Winlevi, and the 5% scalp version is being developed as Breezula. In 1,465 men, the company reported hair-count improvements of 539% and 168% versus placebo, and men who stayed on it for a year had 2.39x more hair than men switched to placebo. Now the fine print: it’s not approved for hair yet, filings are expected by early 2027, the trials were men only, and the results are company-reported. Like every hair loss treatment, it works only while you use it. So don’t wait for the next new thing, because your follicles are shrinking now.

The Enzyme Lottery: Why the Same Hair Growth Treatment Works for Her and Not You

Same hair growth serum. Your friend grew hair. You didn’t. Here’s what nobody tells you: the best-known drugstore hair growth topical arrives inactive, and it only switches on if your follicles carry enough of one specific enzyme. Some women have plenty. Some barely have any. In a meta-analysis cited in Dermatologic Therapy (2014), only 13–20% of women using the 2% strength saw moderate regrowth. Then comes the plot twist: when the same ingredient is taken by mouth, the women with LOW enzyme activity may do better. So “it didn’t work for me” doesn’t mean nothing will. It may mean you need a different mechanism or route. Swipe through all 7, then comment HAIR QUIZ and I’ll send you the quiz that matches your hair loss to a formula.

Why do hair growth treatments work for some women and fail for others? It may come down to an enzyme in your hair follicles that decides whether the most common drugstore topical ever switches on. Published research found only 13–20% of women using the 2% strength saw moderate regrowth, and enzyme levels helped predict who would respond. If you’ve tried hair loss treatments with no results, this is for you. Women over 40, over 50 and in menopause, comment HAIR QUIZ to find your hair growth match.
