Androgenetic alopecia mainly affects men after puberty, a period in which androgens begin to interact with androgen-sensitive hair follicles, resulting in changes such as follicular miniaturization and changes in the hair growth cycle, leading to progressive thinning and permanent hair loss.
Organic compounds
Organic compounds are an inherent part of skin care products. These ingredients are structurally similar to natural body compounds, making them efficient in many functions. For example, they easily penetrate the layers of skin, stimulate the synthesis of skin proteins, fight free radicals, and ''dissolve" dead skin cells. Thus, organic compounds visibly ameliorate skin wrinkling, sagging, and scaling.
