I am seriously considering using rogaine once a day. For 2 years I have used 2 times a day w great results; I haven't missed 1 single application. However, I am getting bad side effects. I would love to be able to go once a day and maintain what I have gained over the 2 year period. Do you guys think this is wise??

What kind of side effects do u have, the one I am struggling with is dark circles under my eyes ( doctor said I should consider applying it once a day)

It's very simples no one can't give you a right answer...so you need try if this works...me and @yetti once a day works fine...give a try if you want

Used foam for 2+ years on front/temples, not really effective.

Switched to liquid recently, been itchy as hell but feel like its doing something at my hairline.

Using once a day before I sleep.

no need to apply it twice a day.

it's half life is 22-24 hours.

I'm on day 3 of using it once a day. Figure I should let my body get used to it before I hit it twice a day (if I should even use it twice a day)

I work outside, wear a hat, and sweat a lot. I'm not sure how this will effect the treatment...

I hesitated on starting it due to it being a long term commitment. Then I finally took the chance. I hit the shed about 1 month in. I didn't see any regrowth for about 3-4 months. And now there's patches of course hair growing in everywhere. I had a haircut tonight and she told me it was quite unbelievable the amount of new hair growing. I've noticed it at the hairline (not heaps yet) but I couldn't see the crown, I don't have a bald spot but it was thinning quite alot. And now according to her I have heaps growing in at the back, all very short at the moment but she said it was quite course looking and its pigmented. So I definitely think it's worth at least trying.

I kind of want to use it once a day but I'm hesitant because of the studies showing better results with 2x a day

In theory though 1x a day though makes sense given the 22 hour half life

Used both Liquid and Foam Rogaine 5%. Liquid is better at penetration and gave me better results. I only use once a day before bed. I suppose you could put the foam just on the hairline in the morning and the liquid overall your whole scalp at night if it would give u better peace of mind.
