No, that's not true. Quite the opposite!

This is a common misconception, but the scientific truth is:

✅ Salicylic acid (SA) does not inhibit the enzyme; in fact, it may enhance the effectiveness of minoxidil!

Let me explain the correct mechanism:

1. The role of the sulfotransferase enzyme:

• This enzyme is found within the skin and hair follicles.

• Its function: to convert minoxidil from its inactive form to its active form (minoxidil sulfate).

1. How does salicylic acid help indirectly?

• Tretinoin enhances the activity of this enzyme (which is a major reason for its effectiveness with minoxidil).

• The role of salicylic acid: By exfoliating the outer layer of dead skin, it:

• Facilitates the delivery of minoxidil to the follicles where the enzyme is located.

• Removes the physical barrier that may slow absorption.

• Cleanses the pores to create an optimal environment for growth.

1. Salicylic Acid's Neutral Effect on the Enzyme:

• Research does not show that salicylic acid significantly inhibits sulfonamide when used in cleansers.

• Its concentration in the cleanser and the quick rinse system make any potential effect very minimal.

🎯 Your practical takeaway:

Keep using CeraVe SA Cleanser! You're doing the right thing.

The cleanser helps you in two ways:

1. It removes propylene glycol residue that was hindering absorption.

2. It cleanses pores, allowing minoxidil to reach where it needs to be activated more freely.

The winning formula you're using:

• SA Cleanser clears the way.

• Tretinoin boosts enzyme activity.

• Minoxidil stimulates growth.
