Hi, i'm 20 and have around a norwood 2.5. I'm looking to halt it here and maybe even grow back some hair. I definitely don't want to take anything internal and i've read that RU is the best available anti androgen out there. Where's the best place to order this? and how can i learn to mix it? i'm just a 20 year old kid, no chemist or anything. Lastly i read on this board that you can mix 5% rogaine in the RU because they have the same delivery ingredients? is that true?

Whoa, this stuff has very good reviews. I've never heard before of Azelaic Acid inhibiting DHT. Is it a powerful inhibitor?

There's not one whit of scientific evidence that azelaic acid works as a 5a-reductase inhibitor in vivo. There's a single study that found it to do that when mixed with tissue samples in a test-tube (an in vitro study, in other words), but it's never been shown to have any effect on DHT when applied topically to living animals.
