{"product_id":"redensyl-scalp-spray","title":"Redensyl Scalp Spray, 5%","description":"\u003cp class=\"q-lead\"\u003eA fine mist of 5% Redensyl and ginger root, in an 80 mL pump, for anyone who wants to\ndo something about thinning without using minoxidil. Redensyl is a cosmetic active with a thin\nevidence base behind it, so this sits below the minoxidil products in this range and we would rather\nsay that plainly than let the price suggest otherwise. It is here because a spray covers a whole\ndiffuse area in seconds, and because a fair number of people either cannot tolerate minoxidil or\nhave decided against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRedensyl 5%.\u003c\/strong\u003e Redensyl is a supplier-made blend of dihydroquercetin glucoside and\na glucosylated form of epigallocatechin gallate, with glycine and zinc. The manufacturer's account\nof it is that it acts on the stem cells in the outer root sheath and on the cells of the dermal\npapilla, encouraging resting follicles back into a growth phase. The human evidence is a single\nmanufacturer-run study of roughly 26 men over 84 days at 3%, which reported a modest shift in the\nratio of growing to resting hairs against placebo. It is small, it was paid for by the company that\nsells the ingredient, and nobody independent has repeated it. Treat that as promising and unproven.\nThe large hair-count figure quoted around Redensyl on other sites is an extrapolation from that\nstudy across a whole scalp. No one has counted that many hairs on a real head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur concentration is 5%, above the 3% that was actually tested. Read that as a generous inclusion\nof a cosmetic ingredient. It does not make this a stronger dose in the way 5% minoxidil is genuinely\nstronger than 2%. There is no study showing 5% does more than 3%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGinger root\u003c\/strong\u003e is here for the scalp rather than for growth, and we are not going to\npretend otherwise. It is warming and lightly astringent, and it gives the spray a clean feel on a\nscalp that has been under a hat or a shampoo all day. The most direct laboratory work on 6-gingerol,\nthe compound ginger is best known for, found that it suppressed hair shaft elongation in cultured\nhuman follicles rather than encouraging it. That is one study in a dish and it does not mean ginger\nharms your hair, though it is a good reason to keep ginger in a supporting role and to make no\ngrowth claim for it at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula is fragrance-free. That matters more than it sounds for a leave-on product you meet\ntwice a day, because fragrance is one of the more common causes of a scalp that starts itching in\nweek three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it belongs here\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the minoxidil-free option, and it is honest about what that costs you. Minoxidil is the\nonly ingredient in this range with strong regrowth evidence behind it, and if you are able to use\nit, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/minoxidil-topical-solution-5\"\u003eMinoxidil Topical Solution USP, 5%\u003c\/a\u003e is the\nproduct to start with. This spray is for the people that sentence leaves out: anyone who reacted\nbadly to minoxidil, anyone who does not want a drug on their scalp twice a day, and anyone who has\nread the label and decided against it. It sits in the cosmetic category, which describes how it is\nregulated and says nothing about how well it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe format is the other reason to choose it. A pump mist suits diffuse thinning across the crown,\nwhere a dropper is slow and fiddly. If what you are treating has an edge to it, a receding hairline\nor a widening part, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/redensyl-complex-serum\"\u003eRedensyl Complex Serum\u003c\/a\u003e puts a\nlower dose of Redensyl into a dropper alongside Anagain, Baicapil and caffeine, and places it more\nprecisely. There is no reason to use both. For the wash underneath it, the\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/anti-hair-loss-shampoo\"\u003eAnti-Hair Loss Shampoo\u003c\/a\u003e is also fragrance-free, which\nkeeps the total number of things irritating your scalp low while you are testing whether this\nworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwice a day, morning and evening, on a dry or towel-dried scalp.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStart with hair that is dry or close to it. A wet scalp dilutes the mist and carries it off the\n    area you aimed at.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart your hair into rows to expose the scalp across the thinning area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHold the nozzle four or five centimetres from the scalp and spray along each parting, moving as\n    you go. Twelve to fifteen sprays, about 1.5 mL, covers a crown. Keep your eyes closed and do not\n    spray towards your face.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWork it in with your fingertips for about thirty seconds, until the skin feels damp rather than\n    wet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeave it in. Do not rinse it out, and give it fifteen to twenty minutes to dry before a hat, a\n    pillow or any styling product.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWash your hands afterwards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe common mistake is spraying the hair instead of the scalp.\u003c\/strong\u003e Anything that lands\non the lengths does nothing at all, so part the hair properly and aim at skin. If you also use a\nminoxidil topical, leave several hours between the two. Putting a second wet product onto a scalp\nthat has not dried spreads both around and gives you less of each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing visible for the first two months. The one study behind this ingredient ran for 84 days, so\nthree months of consistent twice-daily use is the minimum before there is anything to judge, and four\nto six months is a fairer window. Photograph the same patch in the same light every month, because\nday-to-day memory is useless for this and it is the reason most people conclude too early in either\ndirection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe prepared for the honest answer, which is that a real share of people will see no change. This\nis a cosmetic active with one small manufacturer study behind it, and it has nothing resembling\nminoxidil's track record. If six months of steady use has changed nothing, stop rather than carrying\non out of habit. What you should notice immediately is only cosmetic: the mist is light, it does not\nweigh hair down and it leaves no residue. Minoxidil has a well documented early shedding phase.\nNothing in the small evidence base for Redensyl describes one, though that says more about how\nlittle the ingredient has been studied than about how it behaves. Either way, a sudden increase in\nhair on the pillow is worth a doctor's opinion and should not be written off as part of the\nprocess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor external use only. This is a cosmetic product and it is not a medicine. It does not treat,\ncure or prevent hair loss as a medical condition, and nothing on this page should be read as saying\nit does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep it away from your eyes. A fine mist travels further than you expect, so close your eyes while\nyou spray and rinse with cool water if any reaches them. Do not inhale the spray, and use it in a\nventilated room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatch test before the first full application. Put a little on the inside of your forearm or behind\nan ear and leave it for twenty-four hours, since ginger is warming and a small number of people react\nto it. Do not use it on a scalp that is broken, sunburnt, inflamed, infected or painful, and stop if\nyou develop a rash or persistent itching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you use a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/dermaroller-0-5mm\"\u003eDermaroller\u003c\/a\u003e, do not spray this onto\na freshly rolled scalp.\u003c\/strong\u003e Published case reports describe granulomatous reactions where\ntopical products were introduced through fresh microchannels into the dermis. Leave a full day\nbetween rolling and your next application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no minoxidil in this product, so the transfer precautions that apply to the minoxidil\nproducts in this range, around cats and around small children, do not apply here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your hair loss is sudden, patchy, or you do not know the cause, see a doctor before reaching\nfor anything cosmetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStore below 25 degrees Celsius, out of direct sunlight, with the over-cap on.
