Proof, not promises.
Every result we show comes from a published or supplier study of a named ingredient, with the study design printed right next to it. Here it is, all in one place.
Credited to the ingredient
The numbers below come from studies of the ingredients in our formulas, not of a Rafael product. We name the ingredient every time.
The design, always shown
How many people, how long, placebo or not, and who funded it when we know. Small or open-label studies are labelled as such.
Honest timelines
Hair grows about a centimeter a month, so we talk in 90-day cycles, never overnight results. We do not use words like cure or regrow.
