Just an update -
I bought a 1% solution for roughly 200 cdn. The Pump comes with 100 doses. I've been using the solution for a little over a week now every other day application focusing on the thinnest parts (I'm diffuse). Today I started seeing watery ejaculate and my erection felt slightly weaker. However neither were to the degree I had experienced with the oral. What this does tell me is that at the very least some is going systemic so a 1% solution with every other day use is not too weak. I should then theoretically see results. It also tells me that the topical seems to have widely variable affects on its users.
I recovered from a months use of finasteride a year ago - it took me about 8 weeks to get back to 90%, the other 10% was probably psychological and just came back with time. I'm going to stick out this topical for at least another week and continue to watch the sexual side effects. If they plateau at what they are now then I'll consider continuing to use the cream for at least three months. I might also consider taking Creatine as I'm an avid weightlifter and have been holding off due to a couple studies that suggested it increases DHT.
Quick update : Still loosin hair but less than before (when I was on nothing)
But with time it accumulates on skin and you need a good shampoo to get rid of it. Not a single side effect reported.
Been a month now isn't it ? I will continue it for 2-3 months.

The 2.5% liposome version, how you apply?
It seems not to be that easy. It has something to do with the liposomal delivery I thinkWhich vehicle do they use? And why ain't nobody just tossing some finasteride/dutasteride into minoxidil?
Tell me what it is and I toss it in too lolIt seems not to be that easy. It has something to do with the liposomal delivery I think
anyone know?Question is, what % finasteride should I ask for it to be? 2.5% seems high, if I only want to mimic the effect of roughly 0.5mg
Are you kidding , right ? please tell me you are ironicWhy is more people not talking about this?? This is waaaay bigger than most of the "could come in the future posts that have thousands of replies."
Still wait if somone can give advice how I can use liposomal finasteride + minoxidil foam.
If I apply both it seems to interact, I‘ve read in a old thread, that the pg or alc in the minoxidil drives the finasteride depot in the body. Got heavy headache two times in a row applying it together. When I use only one topical alone everything is perfect.
H&W does not adress the minoxidil question. I cant imagine noone of their 800 patients uses minoxidil along with finasteride topical.
I address this by doing minoxidil in the morning after a shower and the finasteride at night.To be honest I think it will give problems. First of all, more finasteride will get into the bloodstream due to the vehicles of minoxidil. Second of al, the sillicones in the topical finasteride will more than likely create a film on the skin which might make it difficult for the minoxidil to penetrate the skin.
