A Well-Tolerated Hair Serum Containing New Natural Active Ingredients Reduced Hair Loss and Improved Quality of Life in Women With Chronic Telogen Effluvium: A 16-Week Controlled Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic telogen effluvium (CTE) is characterized by hair loss lasting for more than 6 months and severely impairs quality of life (QoL). There is no specific treatment.

Aims

To assess the dermatological tolerance and clinical efficacy of a hair serum containing three plant-derived active ingredients (a Silybum marianum extract, Manganese PCA, and a Lespedeza capitata extract) in women with CTE.

Methods

In this 16-week, open-label, two-arm, controlled, parallel-group study, 64 women aged 46 ± 10 years with CTE and a positive hair pull test were allocated equally to either a treated group (study serum and neutral shampoo) or a control group (neutral shampoo only).

Results

The investigator rated dermatological tolerance of the serum as good at week (W)1
