Does Topical Finasteride 0.1% work?

Nav21.
I came across multiple studies on the internet that show topical finasteride 0.1%-0.25% is almost as effective as oral finasteride in treating androgenic alopecia. However many doctors (on youtube/internet forums) say topical finasteride is a hoax and does not work. Have any of you tried administering topical finasteride or have seen benefits of it in your experience?
