4-pack, 5% Walgreen's minoxidil foam

[Thom]

I saw this yesterday selling for about $37. Doesn't sound bad at all, yet I'm afraid to switch from Rogaine since I know it works well. I'm glad to see more foam minoxidil out there for a cheaper price, especially when it's averaging around $10 a can.

 

[Cassin]

That's an excellent price!

 

[Thom]

I think so too! Hope people can get some good gains from it...and hopefully no minoxidil smell ha.

 

[Cassin]

Do us a favor and keep us updated please.

 

[Thom]

Will do. In the meantime, here's a link to the product in case anyone is curious.

I was off by $3. Still a great deal!

Someone posted a coupon code earlier.. FOAM10 for $10 off. I'm not sure if it's expired or not because it was a couple of weeks ago. It was delivered about a week ago and I've been using it ever since. I don't think there's a difference. The only thing is that the first time you use it, you have to press down on the nozzle pretty hard to break the seal thing. I thought mine were defective or something

It for the most part feels the same. the only difference is that this doesn't contain glycerin, which really dries the crap out of my hair afterwards because of the other ingredients, and takes a little bit longer to fully dry( about an extra 20 minutes).

Other than that, its worth the price.

 

[Thom]

That's good to hear, I think I may make the switch next year sometime.

Generic foam works the same for me. No difference.

Is there a problem with the minoxidil Kirkland?? Because they sell a 12 months supply for 45 dollar..

 

[Thom]

but is it foam? I think the people in this thread are wanting foam over original...I know I do.

No problem no but some people prefer the foam over liquid.

No Glycerin :dunno:
I thought you ether had to have that or PPG for it
to be carried into the scalp, so my first thought is will
this be effective as Rogaine foam?

 

[Thom]

Frankly, that's my concern now too. Without PPG or Glycerin, will we lose our results?

 

[dcaj44]

When I swtiched from Rogaine foam to Walgreens foam, I noticed a shed.

 

[rwhairlosstalk]

let me ask, does the form version seem as drying as the liquid? Sticky?

 

[Thom]

It feels the same, I'm just not sure it is carried as well. I am concerned about that but so far no one can give a definitive answer as to whether it will work the same without the ppg.
