Dermatologists investigate potential link between moisturizers and hair loss

Some dermatologists suspect a link between moisturizers and rising rates of frontal fibrosing alopecia, a condition causing scalp hair loss. Studies suggest an association between facial products, particularly sunscreen and moisturizers, and FFA. Cases have increased significantly, prompting research into environmental triggers. The connection is difficult to prove definitively, and alternative explanations exist, such as increased skincare use due to noticing hair thinning.
