Do you have to wash dermatch out before applying topicals?

i would recommend it. dermatch may hinder absorption of the topicals.

well i can't see my balding spots, and beleive me they are big with dermmatch on so i have to wash it out. heh

I have never been able to do this with 13 years of using Couvre since very difficult at night to do (ie wash entire scalp off--pain sometimes, have to shower) so I hope it still penetrates. I know the alcohol penetrates since I get some irritation sometimes from the minoxidil.

What about toppik, can you apply topicals while toppik is in your hair.

No studies have been done on this. I'd apply dermmatch 30 minutes after topicals. I'm sure you'd get at least a little absorption though even if it is already on.

I have the same question. It's hard enough to take a shower then apply minoxidil when you get in late not to mention if I come home smashed (then forget about it, a shower is definitely not happening). Sure there's some toppik on the scalp but it's not pasted on. Has anyone had success using minoxidil without washing out the toppik?
