The original version with azelaic acid was highly regarded, even Joe Rogan praised it.

I don't know if anyone has already written about this, but anyone is using this stuff or it's just another scam?

The ingredients containing seem interesting, besides minoxidil, it contains natural DHT blockers.

What do u think?

I used to use Lipogaine and I can tell you the Guanitz minoxidils are better and more effective.

That's what I use. I switched from Kirkland's because it made my scalp itch, but it's very affordable. Lipogaine is more expensive, $25 each and I buy 12 bottles, but I prefer 24 bottles to use 2ml twice a day. It stopped my hairloss by itself, I started using it without the big 3, then I added the big 3 a month later. But honestly I haven't seen that much regrowth now using 2ml once a day, either that or it's been really slow, 11 months so far. Then again my before pics are in my damaged PC, my hair loss was pretty bad. I'm sure there has been some regrowth, it's just been so slow, like when you look outside in an airplane and everything is moving slow.

On another note, when I was using 2ml twice a day I was seeing more success, like my hairline and temples started growing little hairs and they actually kept getting thicker they didn't just stay like light hairs, and that was like with 3 months of use. Unfortunately I only bought 12 bottles so I couldn't keep up using 2ml twice a day. I will be adding a higher percent of minoxidil once a day too.

I have been using it and it does work. Personally I bought some cheaper kirk minoxidil and just going with that since its just the minoxidil that does anything. The rest of it is gimmick to make you pay more and buy their version of it. Cheap wins the day IMO
Its a glorified minoxidil with some bogus DHT blocker crap mixed in so they can sell their version and claim it works when the minoxidil helps grow hair. Classic snake oil stuff, but the minoxidil does work so its not a waste of time just over priced.

What I hate about these glorified versions of minoxidil is that they have no proper studies to prove that it reduces DHT or helps in any way. If they are so confident then get some trials running that actually show a better response for user using Lipogaine vs users using just 5% minoxidil. Their ingredient breakdown is filled with "studies show" or "it has been proven that"-like phrases justifying their use of such ingredients, yet they won't conduct a simple trial.

For me Kirkland is the way to go. Cheap and proven to help.

We have no proof that there is even the proper ingredients in these bottles that they claim.


I would say purchasing pure azelic acid by itself would be your best bet.

I use their 'for men with sensitive skin' formula as the pg in kirkland's and other cheaper liquid minoxidil formulas destroys my scalp. I buy it for that reason only, as another poster mentioned above it's just glorified, overpriced minoxidil.

What is he talking about on the 0:18?

Pretty sure he's talking about what's now known as lipogaine. Azelaic Acid is a potential DHT blocker and it's combined with Minoxidil

I'm pretty sure this still has good effect.

Anything with minoxidil will f*** up your face.

Anything with a dht blocker will make you a woman.

Name as much products as you want. As along as they have any of these 2 they are garbage.

Azelaic acid may work on paper but in reality it doesn't do much. The only additive to 5% minoxidil which helps is retinoic acid (a la the original Xandrox night) and possibly a corticosteroid.
