Is Dr. Lee's minoxidil effective?

[Loaded1990]

I have recently switched to dr. lee's minoxidil 5% and I am wondering about it's effectiveness compared to rogaine. Is it just as effective or less? If anyone who has used both for a long period of time can answer this question I would greatly appreciate it.

Probably more effective, depends which you got.


Dr lee sells really good stuff.

I got his regular 5% minoxidil, how is that compared to rogaine?

 

[Cassin]

his regular 5% dries much faster and has higher alcohol, which is a good thing.

 

[Loaded1990]

Yes, I think I heard having a higher concentration of alcohol compared to ppg is good thing, Cassin, do you know why or where I can read that article?

We have added an article written in part by Norman Weiner discussing the various factors which can affect how well Minoxidil will absorb into the skin when applied...

Title: "Penetration of Minoxidil from Ethanol/Propylene Glycol Solutions: Effect of Application Volume and Occlusion"

Summary of Article:

This article goes into the effect of higher concentrations of alcohol in a minoxidil solution on absorption into the scalp. For many of you, obtaining optimal absorption is an issue of interest to you. This article is incredibly informative on this topic, so be sure not to miss it. Dr. Lee's products have upwards of 80% alcohol content, which is well over Rogaine's 30% alcohol content for absorption. This article MAY be one of the reason's why Dr. Lee found this method more effective. It certainly points in that direction.

It is important to note that the question remains as to whether higher absorption equals better effect on hair, however the general understanding is that it does.This is a very helpful paper for those of you who are interested in seeing the scientific evidence regarding the most effective way to optimize absorption of Minoxidil. DMSO as a vehicle is also briefly touched upon, which has been a topic of discussion with the SALVARE products recently.
