minoxidil recommendation?

[DTOM74]

What's a good minoxidil that does not take forever to dry?

I tried Walmart's liquid version. Found it to be very oily, took over 2 hours to dry and even then somewhat sticky.

I tried Target's foam version. I liked the product for the most part because it dried within 10 minutes, easy to apply and I could hop into bed with no worries. Problem was, all 3 bottles stopped working after about a weeks use. The bottles no longer dispensed any foam, just liquid. One bottle wouldn't even dispense anything after a few weeks. Hmmm...

Neither produced any scalp irritations.

I'm about a Norwood 2.5. I keep my hair in a very short military crew cut, about .25 to .5 inches. Plan on using minoxidil all over top and once a night only. Been on 1.25 mg finasteride for 11 months now and been on Nizoral for 10 plus years.

Obviously Rogaine/Regaine If you've got the money.

Your foam must have been defective if it did that or you stored them in a very hot area possibly. I've only had liquid come out of a rogaine foam bottle when i was in extremely hot surroundings like in the middle of summer

I do and Rogaine isn't that much more expensive than generics. Who knows how long it takes for the liquid version to dry completely?

I read on Bernstein medical that the liquid was more effective than foam. But yeah, dandruff does suck.

Maybe in theory but did not Rogaine find a higher success rate with their foam?
