Minoxidil with no Propylene Glycol

giggsy · Nov 1, 2003

Fellas,

I have just ordered Dr Lee's Minoxidil solution containing no Propylene Glycol.

To those that have used it, can you confirm that it eliminates the scalp irritation that comes with the use of generic minoxidil brands e.g Rogaine.

Is this the sole purpose of this formula?

I haven not tried it but it does not seem to be an issue with Lee's stuff as he uses only 30% PPG as Rogaine uses 50% he says his is not an issue. When you order it without PPG he adds Glyercin which make the product allot more greasy.

i found the ppg formula way to greasy and emberassing to wear out. however, i've been using his other formula for the past 8 months and my scalp is a wreck. i can't even use folligen (which is supposed to heal) without getting painful stinging and itching.. if you're hairloss isn't too bad and you won't have too much scalp showing through, i say use the ppg formula.

I truly believe that the PG-Free formula is MUCH less greasy than any bottle of Rogaine I bought. Yes it has reduced scalp irritation TREMENDOUSLY. I still get a little itch now and then, but not anything like before.
