A lot of you rotter's are experiencing hair loss and are swinging your dicks around messing with minoxidil without sorting out THE ACTUAL CAUSE of hair loss which is :
DHT. [Dihydrotestosterone]
BUT WHY SHOULD I TAKE DUTASTERIDE OVER FINASTERIDE?
SKIN BENEFITS??!?!?!
Blocking Type 1 DHT (with dutasteride) can improve skin by reducing oily production and acne, since Type 1 5-alpha reductase is heavily active in sebaceous glands less DHT means less pore-clogging oil and inflammation.
DOWN SIDES/SEXUAL SIDE EFFECTS
After puberty finishes (around 18-21), blocking DHT only affects maintenance stuff like hair and skin not development making dutasteride/finasteride much safer with fewer downsides for adult men.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dutasteride's sexual side effects are rare at low doses (0.1-0.5mg) because it only suppresses DHT not testosterone and many men maintain normal sexual function as long as their estrogen levels stay balanced.
Dutasteride may help non-balding people by:
STUDYS:
"Safety of dutasteride: Pooled analysis" (2016)
"Dutasteride improves male pattern hair loss in a randomized study of identical twins" (2014)
*"5α-Reductase inhibitors improve acne vulgaris: A systematic review"* (2019)
DHT. [Dihydrotestosterone]
DHT, a testosterone by product, attacks hair follicles in those genetically prone to baldness, gradually shrinking them until hair stops growing. Blocking DHT with medications like finasteride or dutasteride can prevent or even reverse this process.
BUT WHY SHOULD I TAKE DUTASTERIDE OVER FINASTERIDE?
Finasteride only blocks the Type II 5-alpha reductase enzyme, leaving about 30% of DHT in your system. Dutasteride smashes both Type I and Type II, wiping out 90%+ of DHT making it far more effective.

Dutasteride may help non-balding people by:
- Reducing oily skin/acne (blocks skin DHT)
- Potentially slowing collagen loss
STUDYS:
"Safety of dutasteride: Pooled analysis" (2016)
- Side effects (like sexual dysfunction) were <5% and often resolved with continued use.
"Dutasteride improves male pattern hair loss in a randomized study of identical twins" (2014)
- Dutasteride (0.5mg/day) outperformed finasteride (1mg/day) in hair count and thickness after 12 months.
*"5α-Reductase inhibitors improve acne vulgaris: A systematic review"* (2019)
- Dutasteride (and finasteride) significantly reduced sebum production and inflammatory acne by blocking DHT’s stimulation of sebaceous glands.
