I am about to order 6 months worth, speak up my brothers. Tell me what your experiences are. Come on my friends, tell me all.

Hey Cassin... well, I have been on it for a month and a half, maybe two? I'm well into my second cannister.

It is hard for me to comment on the results, as I went on it after dropping Xandrox 15. The thing I can say is that I have not lost anything after dropping the Xandrox, thank God. So, the slow regrowth and definite maintenance seems to continue and the Xandrox-inspired shoots are still germinating, a good thing!

The one thing I can say is that it is a bit hard on the scalp. I know that you, as well as I, are believers in the concept of absorbtion maximization and I think this formulation is in line with that concept. It feels great after application, cumulatively over weeks it tends to start to sting. Nothing painful or particularly irritative to me, but my scalp seems to be like leather and rarely has ever gotten seriously irritated, at least since I have been taking the medicatives to calm it.

I know you have had some scalp sensitivity historically, I would try it for two months to make sure it is compatible with you before making the big purchase. It definitely packs more zing than the ol' #500, so perhaps a testing period might be good?

That being said, I only use the Retin-a version at night. In the am, I use the standard #500 formulation. The retin-a version has the same application characteristics as the #500, it's a bit drippy, dries quickly, but has a slightly more amber hue to it.

My biggest fear. My scalp is in pretty good shape now. Thanks to lower PPG and Copper-Peptides.

This is what I think it is all about so it is well worth the extra $5 per bottle. Worth the irritation?

Bahhhhhhh ..........who knows.

If it puts a dent into you than I should be wary and be very cautious. I wonder how beneficial every other day would be in a preventive attempt to ward off irritation. .

Severe, massive irritation that can be summed up as true pain from 5% Minoxidil. One of the worst times in my life (physical pain wise)to be sure. It was not a fun 5 months.

That being said, I only use the Retin-a version at night. In the am, I use the standard #500 formulation. The retin-a version has the same application characteristics as the #500, it's a bit drippy, dries quickly, but has a slightly more amber hue to it.

I rarely get drips anymore. I have found if I take a lot longer to apply I get entire coverage where I desire Minoxidil and use between .5ml to .75ml on ever app now. If I try to reach the magic 1ml number now all I do is get drips. Waste.

Anyway, I might just wait for one of those The Gardener product reviews we all rely on.

Thanks for the reply.
