Hair Growth Goals? The Results From This Natural Serum Stopped Me In My Tracks

There was once a time when the only fixes for hair thinning were in-office procedures. Then came the daily fistful of capsules. Now, brands are making big strides with science-backed topicals and natural at-home solutions that offer some pretty incredible results.

Case in point: My jaw dropped when I saw the before-and-after photos from the SickScience PowerCycle serum. Results this good always make me skeptical, but once I read up on the science behind it I knew I had to try this serum for myself. 

Editor’s note: The brand’s ShapeShift neck-firming serum has already sold out twice since launching earlier this year (it's back in stock now!), and I'm guessing this hair growth treatment will follow suit.

Exosomes have recently become popular in the skin care world for their ability to promote natural results, rather than relying on external sources. 

"The industry is starting to move toward these kinds of treatments and potential developments where you're using your body's own tools," board-certified dermatologist Caren Campbell, M.D. previously told mindbodygreen of rejuvenation innovations such as exosomes, stem cells, and PRP.

And that’s exactly what this PowerCycle serum does. The formula promotes hair growth at the molecular level, without drugs, prescriptions, microneedling, or invasive treatments. 

Biotech beauty company SickScience was co-founded by molecular scientists Polen Koçak, Ph.D., and Merve Yildirim, Ph.D. They created PowerCycle using the brand’s exclusive NX35 plant-based exosome technology (derived from wheat and garlic stem cells). 

The serum also contains bioengineered biotin, which works with the NX35 using biomimetic science. Together, the NX35 and bioengineered biotin identify key cells in your scalp and hair follicle and signal them to kick into action. 

As with most hair- and skin-care treatments, you’ll need to be consistent if you want to see real results. The brand recommends applying PowerCycle once per day on damp or dry hair.

Using the handheld dropper, you’ll apply one full drop to key areas of concern or all over your scalp (my treatment of choice). Next, simply massage the serum into your scalp with your fingertips and style your hair as usual. 

The above photos show the difference PowerCycle made in just 28 days, on two different heads of hair. 

Of course, there’s clinical data to back up the results (the founders are scientists, after all). The brand conducted a clinical study with 50 participants over the course of eight weights, and every single one of them experienced improvements in hair thickness. 

What’s more, 89% of the study’s participants experienced an improvement in hair-density. On average the participants saw a 29% increase in hair thickness. 

Like I said, I’ve only been using the serum for two weeks—but the photos, clinical study, and testimonials are enough to keep me consistent, and I truly cannot wait to see my own improvements. 

Don’t want to take a pill for hair growth? Try this science-backed PowerCycle formula to promote fuller, thicker, healthier hair at a molecular level. It’s been a long time since before-and-after photos stopped me in my tracks, and I love that there are clinical studies to back them.
