Mate, you using 12% now? How long it's been? Did the results stay? I wanna give 10% a go cause 5% doesn't seem to be doing much. I just wanna make my existing hair thicker

I got products from hairgrowthmd and medicalwellnesscenter as rclark listed above. I alternate between them. One is liquid 12% the other 15%. Results seem to be improving since I started 5+ months ago. Transparent vellus hair has become more noticeable and longer but it is said and is likely they will not develop into terminal mature hair. I wish they had the stronger stuff years ago. I'm going to roll with this stronger stuff for a year, see how it goes. I do feel some mild sexual effects recently, erection quality, but not enough to discontinue at this point.

Have guys using Minoxidil for like 5-10 years and still hair.

I known two guys from internet using for like +20 years

How this possible?

Maybe minoxidil do more than just stimulate hair growth.....

Just trying to compare formula notes.

What are you using in the Minoxidil solutions, if anything? Are you customizing it or using their
straight minoxidil solutions.

It probably "slows" baldness down. Personally I don't think it has permanent results.

Compared to Nizerol, it's probably a let better.

The one from Murray Ave. Apothecary is 15% minoxidil, 5% Azelaic Acid. It is a creamy lotion. From Regenere is 10% minoxidil, 1500mg Azaleic, 6mg Hydrocortisone, Tretinoin 25mg, Biotin 100mg, finasteride 100mg, Latanoprost 60ml/180ml. This is a liquid and there is considerable insolubility of the Min crystals.
Screwy the way the latter lists the concentrations but that's what is on the bottle.

I've been on min 5% for >10 years.

No finasteride but I do use nizoral.

No decline in effectiveness. Very very very gradual improvement over time.

Or it could be I've just worked out what haircut suits me best...

I started finasteride and minoxidil 22 years ago. This year i reduced finasteride dosage (1mg) to 2 x week. But i keep using ninoxidil every night. This new protocol (finasteride twice a week / minoxidil every night) didn't cause increase of shedding or thinning.

I will soon quit finasteride and keep lipogaine, ketoconazole shampoo, biotin and lllt.

Many people will not agree, but i believe that at my age (43 years old) minoxidil is more important than finasteride.

I've used 1mg finasteride every day for 3 years and have no sides. at least nothing noticeable. Not sure about 10 years, hopefully I won't need to be on it anymore by then.
