Sebum-Reg™ and DHT-Related Hair Loss

Based on the mechanism of action, Sebum-Reg™ (Capryloyl Glycine) works by controlling the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme. Theoretically, inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase can lead to a reduction in the formation of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which is linked to certain types of hair loss.

Therefore, in theory, Sebum-Reg™ could potentially help reduce DHT. However, it is important to note that while the theoretical basis exists, there is currently no specific research or clinical study confirming its effectiveness when applied to the scalp for treating hair loss caused by DHT. The effectiveness of an ingredient can depend significantly on its ability to be absorbed into the skin in the specific application area (like the scalp vs. facial skin).

While it is theoretically possible that it could be effective on the scalp, this has not been scientifically verified. Its primary documented uses are for reducing facial oiliness, treating acne, and controlling body odor.
