Beaner...why do you have to be so negative?
Sure, the test was probably not perfect, but the man is a licensed U.S. doctor. I am sure he has learned at this point how to conduct an adequate research study considering that he must have had to interpret and conduct research studies at some point in his medical career.
Besides, based on deductive reasoning, we should be able to decipher that a combination of minoxidil and retin-A alone working synergistically does not produce the success rate that he claims in his study with this new product.
What we need to get more information on is whether the combination of minoxidil, retin-A, and topical finasteride, and azelaic acid used in his concoction really is capable of achieving the results he claims.
By the way, supposedly the low dosage of topical finasteride used in his study resulted in no reported side effects or systemic absorption. However, he recommends that the product be used 3x daily. This all of the information I have been able to learn thus far.
I just think it is too early to be this pessimistic, but yes we do need more answers about this product.
Carry on!
P.S. Who cares if it is a true "aerosol" foam (i.e., patented version) so long as it is not another messy liquid that runs all over your damn head when applying it!
