Tomorrow will mark 1 week of twice daily applications (less one day where I didn't apply anything) of Sinere's Flutagel for me. It hardens very quickly, which was the goal to avoid systemic absorption and to keep it suspended in the skin for as long as possible. The residue it leaves is just the cellulose left over from the gel.
I'm only using it on my temples and apply about 1 squirt per temple, so ~4 squirts a day which is about 2ml I would guess. According to Sinere there is 7.35mg of Flutamide per ml of the gel, so I'm applying ~15mg of topical Flutamide daily. So far I have nothing to report in terms of side effects or hair growth effects. However, I do notice my thinning areas do not itch when I apply the flutagel to them. The day I didn't apply anything at all I noticed a small itch coming back. For me, personally, this is a good sign as in the past an itch was always associated with loss, and no itch was associated with prevention of loss. This was the case for years (about 4 or 5) while I was using Kankho 600 until last year it just sort of lost it's effect for some reason.
Night time applications are fine since you don't have to worry about cosmetics. Daytime applications are a little trickier. What I do is I apply as little as possible to the thinnest areas in my temples. If I get any on my hair I just sort of touch or dab it with my finger until the white residue goes away. That seems to work pretty good. It dries very quickly, though, so you have to work fast.
Anyway, that is about all I have to report at this time. I'm glad I am experiencing zero side effects and would be much happier if I actually see some regrowth in a few weeks.
