Hair Serums- Not Just For Hair Growth | Skin Actives

Posted by Dr. Hannah Sivak and Susan Katz on Oct 19th 2020

Can you use hair growth products even if you don’t have hair growth issues?  Yes, you can, if its Skin Actives!  But more importantly, why should you use them?  Skin Actives’ hair, brow and lash products are full of active ingredients that support your hair, lash and eyebrows and provide your hair follicles with all the nutrients they need to grow long, strong and healthy hair.

Active Ingredients for Hair Health

Look at the ingredient list and don’t get scared! Why so long? Most of the ingredients are nutrients, like:

  • Amino acids (Arginine, Alanine, Glutamine, Glycine, Histidine, Methionine, Cysteine and more). We put a wide range of amino acids into our products to provide the ideal environment for longer, stronger hair.
  • Vitamins (Calcium Pantothenate, Pyridoxine HCl, Riboflavin, Thiamine HCl). Vitamins play a key role in overall skin, hair and follicle health.
  • Essential Minerals (Disodium Selenite, Stannous Chloride, Zinc Sulfate). Minerals are important for tissue growth and repair.  
  • Antioxidants (Tocotrienols, Tocopherols, Astaxanthin, Lycopene, Xanthophyll, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, Beta-Carotene) Plant derived antioxidants are essential for protecting hair from damage.
  • Antioxidant proteins (catalase, thioredoxin, ROS BioNet, etc.) ensure your scalp is well-defended from pollutants.
  • Growth Factors supplement your own growth factor, like keratinocyte growth factor.
  • Essential Fatty Acids (rosehip and pomegranate seed oils) ensure your hair looks healthy and shiny.
  • Anything else? Yes, a few ingredients with known mechanisms of action and that have been used for a long time, like nettle extract, saw palmetto, grape seed extract, etc.

Wow! Our Hair Serum with Apocynin and ROS BioNet has a long list of ingredients. Our hair is complex and requires a lot of different things to thrive and look healthy.

As we get older, we have less ability to produce enough of our own nutrients to supply our hair with the nourishment it needs.  Years of washing our hair with harsh chemicals and styling it with heat will further strip our hair of vitamins and minerals. 

Three Ways to Use Skin Actives Hair Serum for A Dry Hair Treatment

  1. Use as a weekly overnight mask. Simply apply liberally to your scalp, hair and ends before bedtime and shampoo in the morning.
  2. Leave in hair conditioner. Take a dime size portion, rub it on your hands, apply sparingly to ends of hair and all over for shiny and healthy-looking hair.
  3. Apply to roots nightly. For extremely damaged hair, apply a liberal amount directly to your scalp nightly before bedtime. Shampoo it out in the morning.

You may notice that your hair grows faster, thicker and stronger, showing that although you had no obvious “hair problems”, your scalp was a bit neglected by your body, busy with more immediate concerns.
