Neogenic by L’Oréal

[Swooping]

I like the theory behind neogenic. It is a prolyl-4-hydroxylase inhibitor. Works by alternating HIF1-A which is the transcription factor for hypoxia. Therefore it induces a hypoxic environment in CD34+ lower stem cell reservoirs. Thus creating a "optimum" environment.

It acts as a weak inhibitor though. Works a tiny bit for me. but not worth the price and effort imo. Although i only use 3ml a time, so that makes it a bit better. The more hair the better lol.

That's what they all say: "I see some vellus hair", that doesn't mean anything! If you take a very strong light and point it your scalp, from certain angles, you'll see that all your hairs are still there, only miniaturised. We know that our affected hairs don't actually die.

We all have vellus hair, everywhere on our bald areas, even my 52 years old NW5 father has them. We want to see actual terminal hairs, actual regrowth, not hairs that will never be visible to the naked eye.

Of course it's always "there's new vellus hair!" and "my shedding stopped!" without any evidence whatsoever, usually comes from people that have made a career at growing vellus hair and stopping shedding in hair loss forums, several times a year

I just happen to believe these people, some even posted pics. Yes, it's less than mediocre, I'm not questioning that, I'm just curious to know if it can take place in a future cure or at least an effective treatment

I've read about pretty mediocre results. And "mediocre" is the keyword.

Many people claim it grows very fine vellus hairs that never go terminal, and they fall as soon as you discontinue the treatment.

While it's far from a legit treatment, at least people are reporting some growth, and not exactly guys that came out of nowhere, so I trust their anecdotal evidence.

To me hypoxia has a future. We just need to know why exactly is hair growing from neogenic and see if there's something that can be added to boost regrowth

All they have to do is grow 100 new hairs and poof they have a new 100 dollar a bottle hair tonic or MPB treatment. Pay off some university to do a little small study and your golden no wonder so many snake oils. All of you buying this stuff is what fuels the fire of the future snake oils.

I haven't spent a dime on L'oreals crap.

Of course not. It was a scam, nothing more, nothing less. No one had success on this.

Has anybody been using this stuff in 2014? Worth using alongside something like RU?

[eqvist]

I really can´t believe how L Oreal can **** with the angry bald guys! I will never in my life bye something from fake Oreal!

[doke]

hi guys i hate to put a sock in this product as i bought into it as well but what has put me off is the guy on you tube that works for L Oreal and if this product worked surely he would have a great head of hair which he has not?so i think that a pgd2 blocker may be our next hope or bimatoprost or histogen.

Like I mentioned neogenic also has got reports of helping on HLH forums so while it is pricey and the cost/benefit ratio may not be optimal it 100% is not snake oil,

I am going to add it to my regimen, should arrive this week, will report

[MrBlonde]

Costs more than RU and has worse results?

No thanks.

Would you recommend RU as a standalone treatment? I know you are using a few other creams, shampoos and treatments but is RU alone enough in your opinion?

Would it give regrowth near the hairline or just thickening the weak hairs there?

No thanks.

Agreed, nothing close to RU Hellouser. That's why I incorporated it with RU, Capillogain and the rest of my regimen.

I wouldn't recommend Neogenic to anyone. However, I think it has helped my hairline. Realized this after I stopped. Kept everything the same but took Neogenic out. I'll see what happens once I start again and get on RU.

I'm hoping RU takes me to another level.

Lol, this company! It's a shame really, desperate guys will jump on this rebranded aminexil/neogenic and if anything make there situation worse.

I used Neogenic for 3 months and saw minor improvement at the hairline. Stopped for 2 months and saw my hairline get worse, so it actually did do something, at least for me. As minor as it may seem.

I just ordered another box. Won't lie to you. I think it's worth having in my regimen at the moment.
