Does anyone get the minoxidil flakes from using this product like how the kirkland minoxidil liquid causes? Thinking about getting it but want to make sure it doesnt cause those flakes, it says little propylene glycol

Why use Topical minoxidill when ur already on oral minoxidil which is more effective? Why make it harder for yourself?

is Essengen-5 similar as 6? I dont see it on their website

Essengen-6 has a bit more PG in it, so I expect it probably causes a bit more scalp flakes. Essengen-5 has no PG at all. Essengen-6 has some PG, but less than most liquid minoxidil solutions.
