Which is Better for Hair Loss – Finasteride or Dutasteride?
When you’re losing hair, every strand counts — and so does every treatment decision. One of the most common debates in the hair loss world is: Should I use Finasteride or Dutasteride? Both medications are DHT blockers, but they work differently. If you’re looking for the best possible chance at keeping and regrowing your hair, here’s why Dutasteride may be the better choice.
How They Work for Hair Loss
Finasteride blocks the enzyme 5-alpha reductase Type II, reducing DHT levels by about 70%. Dutasteride, on the other hand, blocks both Type I and Type II enzymes, reducing DHT levels by over 90%. That’s a big deal — DHT is the main hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in genetic hair loss. When you block more DHT, you preserve more hair.
What the Research Says about Hair Loss
In multiple studies, including a landmark 24-week double-blind trial, Dutasteride outperformed Finasteride in both hair count and thickness. Participants using Dutasteride had significantly higher regrowth and reported better satisfaction with their results. A Korean study also showed that Dutasteride-treated patients had better outcomes over 6 months, with thicker, more resilient hair.
Topical vs Oral – A Safer Option
Oral Dutasteride is potent but may be associated with side effects like decreased libido, mood changes, or hormonal imbalance in some users. That’s why topical application is gaining traction. Our formulation — Minoxidil 5% with Dutasteride — targets hair follicles locally, meaning less systemic absorption and fewer side effects. You get the power of Dutasteride without the drawbacks.
Real-World Results
Customers from all over the UK report thicker, fuller hair within just 3–6 months of using our topical solution. It’s easy to use, non-greasy, and blends seamlessly into your daily routine.
The Verdict

Born from Science, Built for Results
Once upon a time in the wild world of hair loss. We—two weary pharmacists—found ourselves drowning in a jungle of overpriced, underwhelming hair regrowth products. Every bottle we picked up was either filled with wishful thinking, overpriced snake oil, or a vague promise that “ancient herbal magic” would somehow resurrect our follicles.
And we had had enough.
Armed with actual science (and a little too much caffeine), we decided to take matters into our own hands. If the world was going to be full of wild claims. We might as well make them fun—while actually making them work. And thus, Hairy Animal was born!
