Anyone use Dr. Lee's Minoxidil #540

[Nene]

I have had some good regrowth I think but still annoying vellus hairs on hairline that I'm trying my best to get thicker. So far I've added folligen, too soon to tell if it's helping. So I've read retin a can help improve the efficacy of minoxidil. Maybe this minoxidil #540 with retin-a will do the trick? Anyone with experience with minoxidil with retin-a particularly Dr. Lee's? Please any advice, comments or concerns would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

ITEM #500 is great...high alcohol % for awesome absorption.

Would advise against the retin a then?

While you are on the subject, any thoughts about #2 Retinoic Acid 0.025%? It got the same base as the minoxidil so i suppose it dry very quick. Using it 1 - 2 hours before shower EOD whould be beneficial?

Been on these boards for a LONG time and have heard many good things about Dr. Lee's minoxidil w/ Retin-a. I say it's worth a shot.

Cool thanks for the advice, also thanks for the link to skinbiology, I ended up using folica though. Why do you use skinbiology over folica? Any reason?

Not really--just getting it from the source I guess.

I don't have an opinion since I have never used retin a.

In all seriousness, has anyone ever had documented results with retin-a? It's always struck me as a minimally effective treatment from the dark ages of hair loss.

I just read in Men's Health that their was a study that it can improve the efficacy of minoxidil.

retin-a was useful with minoxidil 2% but hasn't Bryan posted studies that say 5% saturates the scalp without any help?

"A Korean study showed that spiking rogaine with Retin-A...made the hair potion 25% more effective." - From Men's Health August 2010 issue. Unfortunately they don't cite the study or journal. Bryan any info on this?

Good find NENE..We have to find that study..

Uh...did you see my post?

And retin-a does more than just boost minoxidil's results.

 

[Nene]

My bad JWM, didn't realize it was the same study. Cassin can you change the title to Minoxidil #501 please? I wrote the wrong number.

 

[waynakyo]

please explain: 540 comes with retin A?

is there a product that is >5% minoxidil and comes with retin A ?
I am not sure I can see that on his website. I just see there is retin A separately. response appreciated.

thx

501 has retin-a, I was mistaken when I wrote 540. I don't think there is a solution with a minoxidil % higher than 5 that also has retin a.
