Going from 5% to 12-15 ??? Also Retin question

[mutabor]

Hi

I am using 5% minoxidil at the momend. I have been using it for about 3 month now. I had a good result from it already. I was thinking maybe it is a good idea to go for 12-15% minoxidil to increase effectivness. Or shall i stick to 5% minoxidil?

Also i wanted to ask about minoxidil from dr.lee with Retin-A 0.025% (you have to apply it over night). Did anyone tried it and had a positive effect? Is it worth extra money that dr.lee is charging?


Thanks

I'd stick with the 5%, you'll want to keep the 12-15% in your bag of tricks for later down the road. I wouldn't bother using the Retin-A products from what I've read.

if you results in 3 months, congratulations. Don't mess with what works. stick to the 5% for 2 years.
there is no proof that shows that 12 or 15% is better.
only after you seem to not respond to 5% you might benefit from higher concentration.

ok, thanks. I will stick with 5% than. I have ordered minoxidil with Retin-a to see if I notice any difference.

Be careful with the Retin-A as I've read it's easy to over apply and you'll end up with sores on your scalp.
