Different from Minoxidil & Finasteride.
Minoxidil and Finasteride are considered established active ingredients for hair loss – both orally and topically. However, even when applied externally, they can cause unwanted side effects. 8T3 is based on a new active principle that targets the hair root – locally, gently and without affecting the hormonal system.
It's worth comparing.
Minoxidil and Finasteride are among the best-known active ingredients for hair loss – but they are not suitable for everyone. The differences show how important it is to consider the active principles in a differentiated manner.
What can conventional remedies do?
- Minoxidil promotes blood circulation, but can cause skin irritation and loses its effect after discontinuation.
- Finasteride affects hormone balance, with possible side effects on libido or mood.
- Both active ingredients are not suitable for everyone – finasteride is not recommended for women in particular.
8T3 takes a different approach: with the soluble form of the CD83 protein, which acts locally on the hair root – microbiome-friendly, hormone-free, skin irritation-free – for topical use, twice weekly.
What makes 8T3 different.
8T3 is based on the protein CD83 – in a specially developed, soluble form (MAL-838). The approach is regenerative, scientifically sound, dermatologically supported, and consistently responsible. The differences between 8T3 and its competitors are not only measurable, they are noticeable.
| Feature | 8T3 | Others |
|---|---|---|
| Mode of action | Genuine hair regeneration through soluble CD83 | Circulation-boosting, hormone-modulating |
| Formulation | Free from alcohol, hormones, fragrances, and irritants | Synthetic or hormone-active substances, alcohol |
| Application | Apply locally twice a week, microbiome-friendly and therefore suitable for long-term use | Usually daily; alcohol and daily use can lead to dry and irritated skin |
8T3 can do that.
