Few quick questions. I am ordering from Dr. Lee, and noticed he has several options with minoxidil. I can get minoxidil with or without Propylene Glycol & Beamethsone Valerate. I know Propecia effects shelf life, but since I will be using this daily, is there any point in having this, espically since it causes allergis reactions with some people. I have the same question for Beamethsone Valerate, not sure of what this is for, but is there any point in having it included?

Thanks

The prophlene glyco a very small percentage of people get an allergic reaction 2 it. You most likely will not get one. I would get the minoxidil with the prophlene glyco.

I heard a lot of people get redness and irritation with The BV. I would order without the bv.

I used Dr. Lee's stuff years ago and if I remember correctly BV is a steroid designed to combat any possible irritations that the retin-A might cause (if there was any retin-A) and keep a normal healthy scalp to maximize minoxidil's potential. Retin-A increases the absorbtion of minoxidil by constantly exfoliating the skin and promoting regeneration of new skin cells but be careful it will make your skin photosensitive (sunlight will irritate your scalp). The problem people have with it (again if I remember correctly) is that over long periods of time the BV (or was it the retin-A) can thin out the layer of skin on your head (your scalp) which would be VERY bad. and the absorbed amount that goes into your blood stream can make things even worse (if it was the BV that was absorbed)! definately NOT worth the risk just use Nizoral 1% (not 2% cause it actually causes shedding) to keep things healthy up there.

so get the one without the BV (so they say LOL J/K but you never know!)

PS. if you found any of this info useless please disregard it

but do however look into it cause I know I'm really close to the truth!

I diagree with the nizoral, I used 1% for several months with good results than switched to 2% with even better results.
