Are low alcohol minoxidil formulas less effective than normal ones?

I just bought some low alcohol Foligain minoxidil.Normal one works well for me but it dries my scalp too much so I just have to try low alcohol formula again.
I've used it before but the problem is that I switched to low alcohol formula in the middle of the shed so I don't know If its less effective or not.

Why don't you get the Rogaine Foam ?

Its really hard to apply.The only way I could do it is by melting the foam(placing the cap in hot water).Used it two years ago for 3 months,I just can't be bothered with foam anymore.

If you are having problems then go back to the foam formulation despite a bit of inconvenience. Inflammation is a serious issue when resolving or even stabilising hairloss

Right now I am actually thinking about going back to foam.Applying it wasn't the only thing that held me back from going back to it.The price was also pretty high.
I found a local pharmacy that sells Rogaine under a different name for a really low price.

I will give Foligain a shot but If I still get irritation I will try using foam again.
