- One active ingredient, at 5%
- Doesn't lower your DHT

How it works
Where hair loss starts, and where Folliva stops it.
Three points on every hair follicle decide whether it keeps growing. Tap a number to see what happens there, and which treatment works at each one.

Same target, different place. Finasteride lowers the hormone everywhere. Folliva blocks it where it shrinks hair.
How the mechanism works, not a promise of results. Results vary.
The short version.
If you only read one part of this page, make it this one.
-
01
It blocks a signal
A hormone called DHT tells some hair follicles to shrink. The active ingredient is there to block that message.
-
02
It doesn't lower your DHT
Finasteride lowers DHT across your whole body, which is where its sexual side effects come from. This blocks DHT at the follicle and leaves your levels alone.
-
03
It's slow
Think in months, not weeks. Six months is the first fair point to judge it.
-
04
It isn't a miracle
Its job is to stop the thinning. New growth can follow, but nobody can promise it.
Hair doesn't just fall out. It shrinks.
Your body makes a hormone called DHT out of testosterone. Everyone has it. In some people, the follicles on the top and front of the head are extra sensitive to it, and that part is mostly down to genes.
When DHT reaches those follicles, each new hair grows back a little thinner and shorter than the last. It happens slowly, over years, which is why most people only notice it late.
A lock, a key, and something in the way.
Picture each follicle covered in tiny locks. DHT is the key. When the key turns, the follicle gets the message to shrink.
The active ingredient fits into the same locks but doesn't turn them. While it sits there, DHT can't get in, so the message doesn't arrive.
Your body keeps making DHT as usual. The blocker isn't designed to lower it. It just gets in the way at the follicle.
Blocks DHT at the follicle. Doesn't lower it in your body.
A hair-loss pill can reach your scalp only one way: through your blood, so it reaches your whole body. Finasteride, the best-known one, lowers DHT everywhere, and that is where its side effects come from for some men.
A spray starts where the hair is. The active ingredient is meant to work in the skin you put it on. Skin isn't a sealed wall, so some of it is still absorbed into the body. The difference is the approach: a pill lowers DHT everywhere on purpose, while a topical blocker is aimed at the follicle.

How it works
Hair loss starts with DHT. DHT locks onto receptors inside your hair follicles and switches on the shrinking. Every cycle, the hair grows back thinner and shorter, until it stops growing back at all.
Folliva DHT Blocker gets to those receptors first. With the receptor taken, DHT has nothing to lock onto, so the follicle stops getting the message to shrink.
Why there are no sexual side effects: finasteride lowers DHT across your whole body, and that's where its sexual side effects come from. Folliva doesn't lower your DHT or your testosterone. It blocks DHT at the follicle.
How to use it
Once a day, ideally at night. Spray 6–7 pumps, about 1 ml, onto a dry scalp where you're thinning, not onto the hair. Spread it with your fingertips and let it dry. Nothing to rinse.
More isn't better. A receptor can only be blocked once, so extra spray buys you irritation, not hair.
Take a photo on day one. Same spot, same light, once a month. It's the only fair way to see your progress.
What to expect, month by month
Weeks 0–4: nothing to see yet, and some men shed more than usual as follicles reset. It feels like it isn't working. Usually it's just the reset.
Months 1–2: shedding settles. Loss slows before anything grows back. This is where most men quit too early.
Months 3–4: first fine hairs at the temples and hairline. Easy to miss without your day-one photo.
Month 6+: the first fair point to judge. Compare photos, not memories. For some men the result is simply that the loss stops, and that is a result.

Is it right for me?
Folliva DHT Blocker is made for men with pattern hair loss: a receding hairline, thinning at the crown, or both. It hasn't been through the large clinical trials an approved medicine goes through, so start carefully.
Patch-test first on a small area, and stop if your skin reacts. Don't use it if you're pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive. If you're on a prescribed treatment or have a scalp condition, talk to your doctor before you start.

What's in the bottle
One active ingredient at max strength: 5%, which is 50 mg in every millilitre, and the number is on the label. It's a DHT blocker that works at the follicle's androgen receptor, the exact spot DHT needs to shrink your hair.
Made fresh, in small batches. We blend and bottle it in the EU, in small runs, so nothing sits in a warehouse getting old. Every bottle has its lot number, blend date and expiry.
Store it cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.
What we know, and what we don't.
It's easier to trust something when you know where its limits are. So here they are, plainly.
What's known
-
It blocks DHT's signal at the follicle.
Lab and animal studies showed this back in the 1990s.
-
People have used it for about 20 years.
Mostly men with pattern hair loss, on the scalp, once a day.
-
The usual complaint is a dry or itchy scalp.
Often from the base liquid, which some skin doesn't like.
Still unknown
-
How well it works in people.
It never finished large human trials, so there is no official success rate.
-
Long-term effects.
They haven't been studied the way they are for approved medicines.
-
How it compares with approved treatments.
Nobody has tested them side by side.
Good to know before you start
-
Start small
Try it on one small patch for a day or two before using it everywhere.
-
Not during pregnancy
Don't use it if you're pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive. Keep it away from children.
-
Wash your hands
After every use, and let it dry before your head touches a pillow.
-
Stop if something feels off
If your skin reacts or anything else changes, stop and talk to a doctor. Ask first if you take prescribed medicine.
Results aren't guaranteed and vary from person to person. This is not an approved medicine, and nothing on this page is medical advice.
Questions
The questions people ask us.
Short answers. If yours isn't here, write to us. A person replies, usually within a day.
01 Is it an approved medicine?
No. It isn't approved as a medicine anywhere, and no regulator has reviewed it for hair loss. That is exactly why we explain it this plainly.
02 Will it affect my hormones or sex drive?
It isn't designed to change your hormone levels. It blocks DHT's signal at the follicle instead of lowering DHT in your body the way a pill does. Some of it is still absorbed through the skin, and it hasn't been through large trials, so nobody can give you a guarantee either way. If you notice any change, stop and talk to a doctor.
03 Why does it have a code instead of a name?
New compounds get a lab number first and a brand name only when they go on sale. This one never went on sale as a medicine, so it kept its number. It sounds more technical than it is.
04 My hair is shedding more at first. Is that normal?
It can happen in the first few weeks, and it usually settles within a month or two. If it's still getting worse by month three, write to us.
05 How long before I see anything?
Months, not weeks. The first sign, if it works for you, is less hair on your pillow or in the shower. New growth takes longer. Month six is the first fair time to judge, so compare photos, not memories.
06 What happens if I stop?
The block wears off. DHT goes back to acting on the follicle, and over the following months the thinning can pick up where it left off.
07 Can I use it with minoxidil?
Many people do. They do different jobs: minoxidil pushes growth, the blocker deals with what's causing the thinning. Apply them at different times of day so each one can dry.
Start with one bottle. See how your scalp gets on.
One bottle lasts about a month. If you'd like to ask something first, write to us and tell us what you've tried so far. You'll get a straight answer, even if it's that this isn't right for you.
