hey guys ive just switched over from regaine 2% to kirkland 5% due to the massive difference in price!

i used to buy regaine 2% from boots (UK) for about £25 a bottle, now i buy kirkland 5% online for £5 a bottle!

however, ive noticed the kirkland stuff is v greasy compared to the regaine 2% anyone else noticed this?

also i dont seem to itch much after applying, seems odd cause everybody else on here complains about bad itching. i guess its good news but it worries me that this stuff may not me minoxidil at all, thoughts?

Kirkland is legit. Any 5% that you buy including Regaine/Rogaine 5% will be greasier than 2% (except Dr Lee's) because of lower alcohol/higher ppg content. I don't itch that much with any minoxidil either...just depends on the person and their scalp. Don't worry.

yup same,kirkland good,actually noticed after using it for a month that it doesnt seem to be as greasy as when i first used it,just got used to it i guess

but yea its a good way to go,kirkland minoxidil is made by pfizer anyways,and for such a cheap price,getting ya hair back with it is brilliant! :hairy:

I use it as well, no itching here. I think it's the old story of people that have problems/sides will post about them, most people that don't...won't.
