Folligen seems to be out for me, it made me itch (and possibly even break out on my scalp, though i cant yet prove it but 2 days off it and ive yet to see a pimple since) and even tricomin didnt work- made me itch like a b**ch.

is there anything out there that might suit my sensitive scalp? id love to round out my regimen with something like this, but im not sure if theres anything out there

What about NANO shampoo? havent heard too many good things about it but whats everyones opinion on that (or other products possibly that might fit this bill)

thanks

Never tried any of those products but do they happen to have Propylene Glycol? Because that is what what mostly makes people's scalp itch with hair loss products.

the folligen contains a tiny amount of ppg but not enough to agitate i wouldnt think, plus i diluted it with water

tricomin i think is just heavy on the alcohol or something, but no ppg...

its not the ppg. Folligen only has small amounts of PG which is what the preservatives are dissolved in.

Its the actual copper peptides that folligen use. some find them very irritating. i know i did. But some get by fine with them. its not a bad product. I would choose it over tricomin. tricomin is just blue dyed water with very little copper peptides, hence the blue dye.

Maybe try Graftcytes Concentrated Spray which contains GHK-Cu

Or try this: http://www.psfskincare.com/xcart/produc ... ctid=16139

More of a serum

Dr Pickart also sells GHK-Cu Serum. Look on his website. GHK-Cu doesnt cause that burning feeling when you apply it and doesnt leave green stains on your scalp. It was shown to be effective for hair to.

Tricomin doesn't contain nearly the concentration of copper-peptides that Folligen has, of course, but those are mostly just random peptides in Folligen that don't do much. The specific one in Tricomin is hand-picked to be effective, and was demonstrated as such in human and animal trials. It's never really been proven which is more effective: using a small amount of a very effective specific peptide (Tricomin), or using large quantities of minimally effective random peptides (Folligen).
