Capixyl: What It Is and How It Works on Regrowth
If you have explored our serums, you have probably come across the name Capixyl™. This active is at the heart of the Renaissance Serum. But what exactly is it, and why does it hold such a central place in our approach?
What is Capixyl™?
Capixyl™ is a patented technology used in advanced hair formulations. It combines a biomimetic peptide, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, with a red clover extract (Trifolium Pratense) to support several mechanisms involved in hair follicle health.
How does it work on the scalp?
- It supports the environment of the hair follicle.
- It contributes to the appearance of denser hair.
- It fits into a multifactorial approach targeting both the scalp and the hair fiber.
- The red clover extract it contains contributes to reducing DHT activity and supports scalp balance.
Capixyl™ never works alone at Dupuis
This is an important point: Capixyl™ is the core technology of the Renaissance Serum, but it is part of a multi-peptide approach we call Multi-Peptide Scalp Technology™. It is combined with:
- Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, which supports the extracellular matrix of the follicle and hair anchoring;
- Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, a biomimetic peptide that supports hair resistance from the root;
- pea peptides (Pisum Sativum), rich in amino acids, which strengthen the hair fiber;
- an amino acid complex, essential building blocks of keratin;
- panthenol (provitamin B5) and chamomile extract, for hydration and scalp comfort.
This synergy logic reflects our approach: favouring complementary actives that work together rather than a single isolated star ingredient.
Which Dupuis product contains it?
Capixyl™ at 5 % is the central ingredient of our Renaissance Serum, designed for thinning hair, loss of density, seasonal shedding, postpartum, menopause and periods of stress. It is simple to use: one pipette daily on a clean scalp, no rinsing.
What to expect with regular use
As with any hair active, consistency is key. Early positive signs, such as baby hairs, often appear within 30 days, with significant results after 3 months of consistency. Use at least 5 days out of 7.
Consistency, without thinking about it. This is where most routines fail: you forget to reorder, and the treatment stops right when it was starting to work. A Dupuis subscription delivers automatically, with 15 % off, and pauses whenever you want.
