Helped telogen effluvium recovery

Lost a lot of hair due to telogen effluvium. Every hair wash day was an emotional event. Once I removed the trigger (a new med) the hair fall stopped about a month later. I started using this serum and I had baby hairs growing all around my hairline within a couple weeks. My widows peaks are now more filled in than ever.

Noticeably less oily scalp after <2-3 weeks of use

I've been using this hair serum for two months, so I can't speak to its long-term effects on hair growth just yet (it’s supposed to take over 3 months of consistent use to see results). However, what I did notice within 2–3 weeks is a major improvement in how oily my scalp gets. I used to wash my hair every day or every other day because by Day 2 after a wash (I wash at night), my scalp and hair would look greasy and unkempt—no matter what I did. Since incorporating this serum into my routine (I use it 4–6 times a week), I now don't feel the need to wash my hair until Day 4 or 5, which is a huge change for me. This has never happened in my life. For context, I have straight hair and generally normal-to-dry skin aside from my previously oily scalp. I did start using the “It’s a 10” Charcoal Shampoo as a second wash about 3–4 months ago ( I always shampooed twice though), which may contribute, but I skipped it recently and my scalp still stayed balanced. So I really think the serum is doing the heavy lifting. Also, that scratchy/painful spot at the back of the head after 3-4 days of not washing is gone. Overall, I'm super happy with finally achieving the goal of washing my hair twice a week instead of 4-5 times. A bottle (60mL) lasts for about 3 months with consistent use and I just reordered my second one.
