Dutasteride 0.2%, Minoxidil 5%, Tretinoin 0.01% in Trichosol Topical Hair Loss Solution
The Dutasteride 0.2%, Minoxidil 5%, Tretinoin 0.01% in Trichosol (Propylene glycol and alcohol FREE) Topical Hair Loss Solution is a compounded hair loss solution. It combines three active ingredients together in one handy solution. Since it is prepared in the Tichosol base, it is propylene glycol and alcohol FREE,
Hair loss
Hair loss can feel like a small thing to everyone else and a very big thing to the person living with it. The visible problem may be thinning at the crown, a widening parting, or a receding hairline. The less visible part is often the hardest bit.
The loss of confidence, the constant mirror checks, and the worry that things are getting worse. Fairly or unfairly, hair can feel tied to identity.
The Dutasteride 0.2%, Minoxidil 5%, Tretinoin 0.01% in Trichosol Topical Hair Loss Solution compounded topical solution is designed for adults with pattern hair loss who may benefit from a targeted, prescription-only approach. It contains three active ingredients:
Dutasteride helps reduce DHT’s effects on hair follicles.
Minoxidil supports the growth phase of the hair cycle.
Tretinoin is sometimes added to hair loss solutions because it may help minoxidil work better. Especially in people who do not respond well to minoxidil on its own.
The Trichosol base is especially relevant for people who struggle with irritation from standard alcohol-heavy or propylene glycol-containing products.
At Courier Pharmacy, the point is not to throw a trendy formula at a frustrating problem. It is to offer a medically responsible path that starts with assessment, looks at suitability, and considers whether a personalised compounded treatment makes sense for your scalp, your history, and your goals.

The benefits of dutasterie, minoxidil and tretinoin for hair loss
Pattern hair loss is common, but that does not make it easy. Many people first notice extra shedding, thinner density, or a hairline that seems to be quietly retreating.
This formula is aimed at people who want a more tailored treatment path. It may be especially relevant when standard off-the-shelf options feel too irritating, too drying, or simply not quite right.
People often seek treatment because hair loss affects more than appearance. It can chip away at confidence and make everyday things feel oddly loaded, from bright shop mirrors to windy days.
The goal of treatment is not perfection. It is to slow loss, support healthier growth, and help you feel more in control with a plan that makes clinical sense.
Because this is a compounded product, personalisation is part of the value. The formulation can reflect tolerability needs, ingredient sensitivities, and a broader personalised medicine approach.
This compounded topical solution is intended for adults with pattern hair loss who may benefit from a more targeted, prescription-only treatment. It combines three active ingredients:
Dutasteride helps lower the effect of DHT on the hair follicles.
Minoxidil helps support the growth phase of the hair cycle.
Tretinoin is sometimes included in hair loss treatments because it may improve how well minoxidil works, particularly for people who do not respond well to minoxidil alone.
Why compounding?
Compounding means a medicine is prepared to order by a licensed pharmacy for an individual patient. It is not a mass-produced one-size-fits-all product. In the UK, this sits within a regulated framework and should only be supplied when clinically appropriate.
Some people choose a compounded version because standard products are not a good fit. That may be due to scalp sensitivity, allergy concerns, difficulty tolerating common excipients, or the need for a more tailored combination of ingredients.
This particular formula also reflects the wider idea of personalised medicine. Hair loss is not identical from one person to the next. Genetic factors, scalp tolerance, treatment history, and preferences all matter. A compounded option allows those details to shape the plan rather than forcing everyone into the same bottle.
What is the TrichoTest?
TrichoTest is a pharmacogenetic test that analyses 26 genetic markers (SNPs) linked to hair loss susceptibility and how your body is likely to respond to different treatments. It looks across multiple pathways—including how you metabolise key ingredients, how your hair follicles respond to hormones, and how well your scalp absorbs topical treatments. Essentially, it helps predict which ingredients and delivery methods are most likely to work for your genetics.
TrichoTest and Compounding: A Powerful Combination
TrichoTest results can be especially valuable when considering a compounded approach. The test identifies 26 genetic markers linked to hair loss susceptibility and likely treatment response across multiple pathways. When combined with clinical assessment, this information helps the prescriber decide whether this three-ingredient formula is right for you, or whether a different combination might work better.
Real-world examples of how TrichoTest informs compounding decisions:
Strong minoxidil responder, or moderate dutasteride responder? The prescriber might increase minoxidil concentration or add latanoprost (another vasodilator) to the formula. They may even add tretinoin to help activate the minoxidil.
Genetic non-responder to minoxidil? The prescriber might replace or reduce minoxidil and emphasise dutasteride, or add alternative growth-supporting ingredients.
Poor collagen synthesis capacity? Tretinoin may be particularly valuable, or the prescriber might add peptides or growth factor stimulators.
Genetic predisposition to nutritional deficiencies? The prescriber can recommend targeted supplementation (zinc, iron, vitamin D) to support the topical treatment.
The TrichoTest report is colour-coded, showing which of 62 active ingredients are predicted to be most effective for you, which to avoid, recommended delivery methods, and suitable formulations ready for compounding. This level of personalisation is exactly what compounding enables—a formula shaped by your unique genetics, not just your symptoms.
At Courier Pharmacy, compounded treatments are reviewed for safety, suitability, and practical use. They are prepared under pharmacy oversight, supplied discreetly, and supported with follow-up where needed. If a standard option has not worked well for you, or if you need a more personalised route informed by genetic testing, compounding may be worth discussing with the prescriber.
Gro Hair Loss Range
What is the Gro brand?
Gro is the compounded hair loss range created by Courier Pharmacy and Medical Mojo. It was developed to give patients a more flexible, personalised way to treat hair loss, with carefully selected topical formulations made through a regulated online pharmacy service.
The idea behind Gro is simple: hair loss treatment should not feel one-size-fits-all. Some people want a classic topical liquid. Some prefer a foam. Others need an option without alcohol or propylene glycol because of irritation, sensitivity, dryness, or scalp discomfort. Gro brings those options together under one brand, so treatment can be matched more closely to the person using it.
Each Gro product is supplied in a 30ml bottle, which is designed to last around one month when used as directed. Every option is priced at £29.99 for up to three active ingredients, depending on the formulation prescribed. That works out at less than £1 a day for a personalised hair loss treatment plan.
Why Gro is different
Gro was built around three practical goals:
Choice of formulation: available as a topical liquid, topical foam, or Trichosol topical solution
Personalisation: options include single-ingredient, dual-ingredient, and triple-ingredient combinations
Better tolerability: the Trichosol option is alcohol-free and propylene glycol-free, which may suit patients with sensitive scalps
This means patients are not limited to one standard format. Instead, they can discuss a treatment option that fits their scalp, routine, and tolerance.
The three formulation types
Every Gro product is available in one of three formulation styles:
1. Topical hair loss liquid
A traditional liquid solution that contains alcohol and propylene glycol. This is often chosen by patients who want a familiar, easy-to-apply format.
2. Hair loss foam
A foam version for patients who prefer a lighter feel or a different application style. This can be useful for people who do not get on well with standard liquids.
3. Trichosol topical solution
A propylene glycol-free and alcohol-free topical solution. This option is designed for patients who want a gentler base, especially if they are prone to irritation, dryness, or sensitivity.
Ingredients used across the Gro range
Depending on the product selected, Gro formulations may include:
Dutasteride
Finasteride
Minoxidil 5%
Tretinoin 0.01%
These can be prescribed alone or in combination, depending on the treatment plan.
Gro product options
The Gro range includes the following compounded hair loss options, each supplied as a 30ml one-month bottle at £29.99.
This is a Prescription Only Medicine and is only available with a valid prescription. You can request it from courierpharmacy.co.uk by completing a quick online consultation, which is reviewed by a UK-qualified prescriber to check suitability and safety. If clinically appropriate, Courier Pharmacy may also supply a compounded version tailored to your needs.

Active Ingredients
This formulation contains three active ingredients.
Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that reduces the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, a key driver of androgenetic alopecia in susceptible hair follicles.
Minoxidil is a vasodilator used topically to support the anagen, or growth, phase of the hair cycle.
Tretinoin is a retinoid that may help improve skin turnover and enhance penetration of topical treatments in some formulations. It is sometimes included in hair loss solutions because it may improve how well minoxidil works, particularly for people who have not seen much benefit from minoxidil alone. That is why it can be a useful part of a more personalised treatment plan.
Together, these ingredients are used in a way that targets different parts of the hair loss pathway. The Trichosol vehicle is also important. It offers a modern topical base that may be better tolerated by some patients who react to propylene glycol or alcohol-based scalp solutions.
What is it for?
This product is used for pattern hair loss, also called androgenetic alopecia. In men, this often shows up as a receding hairline or thinning at the crown. In women, it may appear more as diffuse thinning or a widening parting. The aim is to support hair retention and encourage healthier growth where clinically appropriate.
The practical problem is visible thinning. The internal problem is often the loss of confidence that comes with it. The deeper issue is that people should not have to feel dismissed or left to guess their way through treatment for something that clearly affects daily life.
Some patients also benefit from customised formulations because standard products can sting, dry the scalp, or trigger irritation. In those cases, a personalised compounded option may offer a more workable path.
How Dutasteride, Minoxidil, and Tretinoin Work in Hair Loss Treatment
Understanding the three-ingredient approach
Hair loss treatment works best when it addresses the problem from multiple angles. This is why many compounded hair loss solutions combine dutasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin. Each ingredient works differently, and together they may support a more complete treatment plan.
Dutasteride: Blocking the hormonal signal
Hair follicles cycle through growth, transition, and rest phases. In pattern hair loss, follicles gradually shrink under the influence of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which means hairs become finer, shorter, and less visible over time.
Dutasteride helps by reducing the hormonal signal that drives this miniaturisation. It does this by blocking two forms of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase (types 1 and 2), which converts testosterone into DHT. By blocking both forms, dutasteride is more comprehensive than finasteride, which only blocks type 2. This dual action may make it particularly effective for people who do not respond well to finasteride alone.
Think of dutasteride as helping to take the foot off the brake—it reduces the hormonal pressure that shrinks follicles in the first place.
Minoxidil: Supporting the growth phase
Minoxidil works differently from dutasteride. Instead of blocking a hormone, it helps support the follicle's growth phase and may improve the conditions for stronger hair growth.
Minoxidil is a pro-drug, which means it is not active in its original form. Your body needs to activate it inside the hair follicle for it to work. Specifically, the enzyme SULT1A1 (sulfotransferase) converts minoxidil into its active form, which then stimulates blood flow, extends the growth phase, and supports follicle health.
Not everyone's body activates minoxidil equally well. Some people are genetically better at producing SULT1A1, and others are not. This is partly why minoxidil works brilliantly for some people but does very little for others—it is not that the medicine is weak, but that their follicles may not be activating it efficiently.
A simple way to think about minoxidil is this: if dutasteride helps take the foot off the brake, minoxidil may help press the accelerator a little. It supports the follicle's natural drive to grow.
Tretinoin: Enhancing activation and penetration
Tretinoin is included at a low strength in hair loss formulations because it may improve how well the other ingredients work and how well they penetrate the scalp surface.
Tretinoin helps by boosting the enzymes that activate minoxidil. Specifically, it increases the activity of SULT1A1 inside the hair follicle. Think of it like this: if minoxidil is the fuel, SULT1A1 is the engine that burns it. Without enough enzyme activity, the fuel sits there unused. Tretinoin helps turn up the engine.
Beyond enzyme activation, tretinoin also supports the overall health of the hair follicle. It encourages cell turnover, supports growth signals, and creates a better biochemical environment for hair growth. Hair follicle cells are naturally sensitive to tretinoin, which is why it can be so effective in this context.
Tretinoin also matters for practical reasons. A treatment only helps if enough of it gets where it needs to go. Tretinoin may improve penetration through the scalp surface, ensuring that dutasteride and minoxidil reach the follicles more effectively.
Why combination matters
Adding tretinoin to a minoxidil and dutasteride solution may help people who have tried single or dual-ingredient treatments without much success. This is one reason why compounded hair loss solutions that combine multiple active ingredients often work better than single-ingredient treatments—they address the problem from different angles at once.
Dutasteride reduces the hormonal brake. Minoxidil presses the growth accelerator. Tretinoin helps activate minoxidil and supports follicle health. Together, they create a more complete treatment strategy.
TrichoTest: Personalising the approach
TrichoTest can play a crucial role in reducing guesswork and supporting truly personalised treatment. It is a pharmacogenetic test that analyses 26 genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to nine key treatment pathways relevant to hair loss response. Rather than prescribing based on standard protocols alone, TrichoTest combines your genetic profile with your medical history to predict which ingredients, dosages, and delivery methods are most likely to work for your unique biology.
How TrichoTest informs this formula
If TrichoTest identifies genetic factors suggesting a strong response to minoxidil and dutasteride, the prescriber may confidently recommend a combination dutasteride/minoxidil product.
If the test reveals that you are a genetic non-responder to minoxidil (for example, due to SULT1A1 variants that affect how your body processes it), the prescriber might adjust the formula—perhaps increasing the dutasteride dose or adding alternative vasodilators—to better match your predicted response profile. They may also add tretinoin to enhance minoxidil's effectiveness.
The nine pathways TrichoTest analyses include:
Prostaglandins and sulphotransferase (how you process minoxidil and latanoprost)
Anti-inflammatory response (your reaction to glucocorticoids and immunomodulators)
Anti-androgen metabolism (how effectively you respond to dutasteride, finasteride, and 17?-oestradiol)
Circulation stimulation (response to vasodilators)
Collagen synthesis capacity
Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1) response
Vitamin absorption (A, B7, B9, B12, C, D, E)
Mineral absorption (zinc, magnesium, iron, selenium)
Antioxidant needs and oxidative stress profile
Beyond ingredient selection
TrichoTest also reveals nutritional gaps or metabolic factors that could affect hair health. If the test shows you have genetic variants that reduce zinc or iron absorption, the prescriber can recommend targeted supplementation in addition to this topical formula. This moves treatment away from guesswork towards precision medicine tailored to your genetic profile and clinical context.
TrichoTest does not diagnose or guarantee results, but it offers evidence-based insights that help the prescriber make more informed decisions about whether this specific three-ingredient formula is right for you, or whether a different compounded combination might work better.
The Trichosol advantage
For patients who have reacted badly to standard topical solutions, the propylene glycol-free and alcohol-free Trichosol base may be a practical advantage. Sometimes the issue is not the active ingredient itself, but the vehicle carrying it. If your scalp is sensitive to common excipients, a Trichosol formulation allows you to access the same active ingredients in a gentler base, without compromising efficacy.
How to use the compounded dutasteride 0.2%, minoxidil 5%, tretinoin 0.01% in Trichosol hair loss solution
Apply the solution exactly as directed to a clean, dry scalp. It is usually best used on the areas affected by thinning rather than on the entire hair. Let it dry properly before applying other scalp products unless your prescriber has advised otherwise.
Try to build it into a routine you can actually keep. Hair loss treatment tends to reward consistency, not heroic bursts of effort. Many people find it easiest to apply at the same time each day, such as after an evening shower or as part of a morning routine.
If your scalp becomes irritated, do not just push through and hope for the best. Ask for a review. One benefit of compounded treatment is that the formulation can sometimes be adjusted if tolerability becomes an issue.
The typical dose used is:
Apply 1ml at night to the scalp using the drop bottle and wash off in the morning.
Warnings and precautions
This product is not suitable for everyone and requires careful prescribing review. Extra care is needed if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, breastfeeding, have a scalp condition that affects absorption, or have a history of allergy to any ingredient in the formulation.
Dutasteride
Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor and affects hormone pathways. It should not be used by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as it can affect male foetal development.
Men with a history of prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels need careful assessment before starting treatment.
Dutasteride can lower PSA levels, which may mask early signs of prostate cancer, so baseline PSA screening may be needed. Men with a family history of prostate cancer should discuss this with the prescriber.
Minoxidil
Minoxidil is a vasodilator and may not be appropriate for people with uncontrolled or poorly managed blood pressure, a history of heart attack, stroke, or other cardiovascular events, or those taking multiple blood pressure medications.
Topical minoxidil can be absorbed systemically, and cardiovascular risk needs to be assessed.
People with unexplained hair loss, sudden patchy shedding, or scalp conditions that suggest an underlying medical problem should have these investigated before starting treatment.
Post-finasteride syndrome (PFS)
Post-finasteride syndrome (PFS) is a rare but recognised concern associated with 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors such as dutasteride and finasteride. It refers to persistent sexual dysfunction, mood changes, or other symptoms that may continue after stopping the medication. Although topical dutasteride at low strength carries lower systemic exposure than oral forms, the prescriber will discuss this risk during consultation. If you have previously experienced adverse effects from finasteride or other 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, this must be disclosed.
Tretinoin
Tretinoin can increase irritation, sun sensitivity, and photosensitivity. It should be used with caution in people with sensitive skin, eczema, or rosacea. Sun protection is important during treatment.
Even though this formula is personalised and designed to avoid propylene glycol and alcohol, that does not remove the need for proper prescribing review. Compounded does not mean casual. It still needs the same careful checks for safety, suitability, and expected benefit. A full medical history, including cardiovascular status, prostate health, previous medication reactions, and mood or sexual function concerns, will be reviewed during consultation.
If you have had TrichoTest, those results will also be considered as part of the overall assessment to ensure the formula matches your predicted response profile and genetic risk factors.
Side effects
Common side effects may include scalp irritation, dryness, redness, itching, flaking, or temporary shedding early in treatment. That early shedding phase can be unsettling, but it may happen as follicles shift through the hair cycle.
Because tretinoin is included, some patients may notice more sensitivity or mild peeling, especially at the start. Minoxidil can occasionally cause unwanted hair growth outside the treatment area if the solution spreads beyond the scalp.
Systemic absorption of topical minoxidil can occasionally cause dizziness, palpitations, chest discomfort, or changes in blood pressure, particularly in people with underlying cardiovascular concerns. Although this is rare with topical use, it remains important to monitor.
Dutasteride, even at topical strength, may cause sexual dysfunction in some patients, including reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculation disorders. These effects are uncommon with topical application but have been reported. Mood changes, depression, or anxiety have also been documented with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, though causality is debated. If you experience mood changes, persistent sexual dysfunction, or other concerning symptoms, report them promptly.
More serious concerns are less common but still important. Seek advice if you develop marked irritation, swelling, chest symptoms, dizziness, palpitations, signs of allergy, severe mood changes, or persistent sexual dysfunction.
One benefit of a compounded propylene glycol free formula is that it may reduce irritation in patients who struggle with standard vehicles, but it cannot remove all side effect risk.
Drug interactions
Interaction checks still matter with topical treatment. Dutasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin each bring their own considerations, and combining them in one formulation makes proper review more important, not less.
Minoxidil may interact with medicines that affect blood pressure or cardiovascular function, including antihypertensives, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, and NSAIDs. If you are taking any blood pressure medication, this must be reviewed. Minoxidil can potentiate the blood pressure-lowering effects of these drugs, increasing the risk of hypotension or dizziness.
Tretinoin may interact with other topical products that increase irritation or photosensitivity, including vitamin C, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and other retinoids. Concurrent use of these products may increase the risk of irritation, peeling, or sensitivity. Tretinoin also increases sun sensitivity, so concurrent use of other photosensitising medicines (such as certain antibiotics, NSAIDs, or thiazide diuretics) should be discussed.
Dutasteride has potential interactions with medicines that inhibit or induce the cytochrome P450 enzyme system, particularly CYP3A4. Medicines such as ketoconazole, ritonavir, and other strong CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase dutasteride levels. Conversely, enzyme inducers may reduce dutasteride levels. Although topical absorption is lower than with oral dutasteride, the prescriber will review relevant medicines.
Other scalp treatments, harsh exfoliants, or irritating cosmetic products may increase the risk of local reactions. If you are using other prescription or over-the-counter hair loss products, they should be reviewed before starting. Concurrent use of multiple topical hair loss agents is not usually recommended without prescriber guidance.
If you have a history of post-finasteride syndrome or adverse effects from finasteride, this interaction risk must be discussed, as dutasteride is a related compound. During consultation, the prescriber will review all medicines, supplements, topical products, and relevant medical history to reduce avoidable risk.
If you have had TrichoTest, any genetic factors that might affect how your body processes these medicines will also be considered—for example, CYP3A4 variants that may influence dutasteride metabolism.
FAQs
How long does it take to see results?
Hair loss treatment usually needs patience. Many people need several months of regular use before they can judge progress properly.
Is this suitable for both men and women?
It may be suitable for some adults, but the prescriber will assess this carefully. Hormonal considerations and pregnancy risk are especially important. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not use this product.
Why is this formula in Trichosol?
Trichosol is used as a modern topical base and may be better tolerated by some people than standard propylene glycol or alcohol-based solutions.
What makes this different from standard minoxidil?
It combines minoxidil, dutasteride, and tretinoin in a personalised compounded formula that may suit patients who need a broader or more tailored approach.
Can I use it if standard hair loss products irritate my scalp?
Possibly. A propylene glycol free, alcohol free base may help some patients, but suitability still needs review.
What is compounding?
Compounding is the preparation of a medicine to meet an individual patient's needs, rather than supplying a standard mass-produced version.
How can TrichoTest help with this treatment?
TrichoTest identifies 26 genetic markers linked to hair loss susceptibility and treatment response across nine key pathways. This information helps the prescriber decide whether this three-ingredient formula is right for you, or whether a different compounded combination might work better based on your unique genetics. TrichoTest can also reveal nutritional gaps, metabolic factors, and genetic variants that affect how your body processes these medicines—all of which inform a more personalised treatment plan.
Does TrichoTest guarantee the right treatment?
No. It is a helpful tool that may support treatment selection, but it does not guarantee results. Genetic testing works best when combined with clinical assessment and your personal treatment history.
Will I need a prescription?
Yes. This is a Prescription Only Medicine and should only be supplied after review by a qualified prescriber, which can be done online at courierpharmacy.co.uk.
Can I stop if I see improvement?
Do not stop or change treatment without advice. Hair loss often returns to its previous pattern if treatment is stopped.
