When will people realize that ketoconazole in itself doesn't dry your scalp... It's the high percentage of cheap anionic surfactants in the shampoo that strip the sebum/oil from your scalp/hair, hence the dryness.
Pure ketoconazole doesn't do any of that. I've been adding pure ketoconazole to my topicals for over a year now and there's zero dryness. And I use pure pharma grade ketoconazole, not grey market.

Yes it's the dirty ingredients that cause dryness and damage.
Do you have results with topical keto?

I'm using many things at once, so difficult to tell. But I do think it has a place in a broad-spectrum protocol. Unless you're already using a different, stronger AR antagonist twice a day, then maybe not.

What % ketoconazole do you use in your solutions? 2%?

The % I'm using doesn't really matter. The total drug administration volume per application matters. And I'm applying 60mg of ketoconazole once a day in my PM topical. You can divide that into 3ml of 2% or 6ml of 1%. I'm personally using the latter as I prefer 6ml to cover my entire scalp thoroughly.
