What brand should I get?

[ohdearno]

I'm on proscar since a year back, no success. Wanted to add minoxidil so I bought some rogaine. Applied it once and instantly knew this wouldnt work for me. The hair looked and felt greasy even after a couple of hours.

Been lookin in this forum and ppl say Dr Lee's minoxidil is the way to go if you want to avoid the grease? True/false? Went to http://www.minoxidil.com and checked it out.. there were millions of different types of minoxidil. What should I get? Where should I get it from? (live in sweden)

im using kirkland minoxidil 5% right now. twice a day.

iv herd if u get the 12.5% or 15% minoxidil's, u only have to apply once per day which is much more practical. but i am not sure if that is as good as twice a day 5%?

Product #500 is the non-greasy minoxidil from Dr Lee.

is Kirkland minoxidil just as greasy as Rogaine?? Or does Kirkland come in a less greasy form

is generic mixoydil (kirkland) just as good?

also, whys doctor lees called #500. does it only have to be applied once a day, and would this be as effective as 2x 1ml of 5%? thanks.

All generic minoxidil is the same in my opinion...100% identical to Rogaine. #500 is just the product number for ordering purposes. It should be used twice a day like any other 5% minoxidil.

equate at walmart

By 5% Equate brand at wallmart, 3 months for $18. Cut it with isopropyl alcohol if you want the 2%.
