How do you keep Rogaine from melting/liquifying?

[Kev123]

I read that if Rogaine becomes liquidy then it loses effectiveness. It's summer, so how can I keep it foamy? Can it be put in a fridge?

Man its a tough one with the heat and humidity. Some guys wash their hands in cold water first.

Just put it in the fridge for 5-10 minutes before you plan on using it.

or lay it on its side in the bathroom sink and run a little bit of cold water over it for about a minute

thats interesting

if the bottle sits in a room that has air temp over 75/76 degrees, then it does become a little more "liquidy". The air temp must remain no greater than 77 degrees but as I said, 75 or at most 76 degree should be the highest air temp exposure to the bottle.

That sounds about right off the top of my head...I'd also think about humidity.

what happens to it that makes it (minoxidil.) loose it's effectiveness? Does the minoxidil. degrade?....or does the application method degrade and the minoxidil. is still effective? or none of the above? Is it kind of like shaving cream? :dunno:

No there is nothing wrong with the minoxidil...the actual foam just melts. The foam is the delivery vehicle you could say.

Why do you think Rogaine foam melting will loose its effectivness, think about it, liquid is still as effective why would foam being melted not be the same way?

I agree ..I actually run my hand under the hot tap before squirting the Rogaine Foam on so it does melt a bit. It makes it easier to rub in..

Isn't it better to have Rogaine foam melt with the temperature of your skin?

Cause if you don't mind having your Rogaine melted, then just buy liquid Rogaine.

Dry time of foam (melted or not) is way faster than liquid form.

yup..

Moments versus hours
