I’m useless with % measurements, if you could write down the exact ML of everything mixed together that be great!

I'm using a 70-75ml metal container with diffuse sprayer
Ingredients in order
17ml ethanol (70% solution)
3 drops sandalore
2 drops ethoxydiglycol
dab of PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil
AFTER all these ingredients are in container shake well and let sit for a few hours to dissolve (overnight probably couldn't hurt)
Then add 45 ml of distilled water
Shake well and allow time to dissolve further.
That's it;
Apply twice daily.
Shake vigorously before spraying/applying

How does one mix anything effectively with Vanicream? Seriously, with a spoon or something?

Question, is you hair the same length in both photos, or is it longer on week 8?

So this is just under one month difference? Given the fact that you are slick bald in some areas and getting regrowth that quick, I am quite shocked indeed.

Thanks, you must have been a chemistry student back in the day.
Would this work, maybe just add Sandalore etc

I have experienced this but it subsides after a couple of applications

I'm planning on using a stirring stick, yeah. Everything arrives today so I'll probably mix it up tonight, hopefully it's not harder than it sounds lol.

What all have you ordered? Did you get the Sandalore off Amazon or Pell Well?
how can you tolerate a 70 % alcohol based topical, it must burn like hell ? and the smell too, people would detect the strong alcohol smell if you apply 2 ml + ?
doesn't burn at all. i tried 95% ethanol and you don't feel anything.
well.. maybe i am just prone to skin irritation
any topical over 30 % alcohol / 70 % water burn like hell.So so mix 1 ml of sandalore with how many ml of 95 % alcohol, plus others stuff ?

1ml Sandalore in 100ml Solvent = Sandalore Mix 1%
Try...
alcohol 70% ............... 60ml and mix 1ml Sandalore
propylene glycol ........ 20ml will soften your solvent (cheap and easy to buy)
distilled water ............ 20ml to complete the 100ml
Shake well when adding each ingredient

So I mixed everything up very roughly. I'd estimate I'm using a 1-1.5% mixture because the containers I mixed the vanicream and the Sandalore in did not have measurements but it should be fine. It mixed shockingly easily with just a simple mixing spoon that came with the containers I ordered. I started by putting the 1mL of Sandalore in the empty container, adding about 10-15mL of vanicream, stirring, and repeated that until I felt I was close to 100mL total (the containers only hold 120mL and I left what I eyeballed to be 20mL of space empty lol). Has a very perfume-y smell to it but not overpowering by any means and the vanicream was super easy to rub in and apply even with my super long hair, although I'm only applying it to the first 5cm or so of my hairline and my temples. I'm pretty confident it mixed well because I can feel a somewhat odd sensation on the areas I applied it to... not quite a burn, but I can tell it's more than lotion up there lol. I suppose I'll update how it goes eventually. Cost me like $35 to get a huge supply of this stuff so even if it doesn't work it's not a huge bust as long as my hair doesn't fall out.
Slight side note / why I'm not the best candidate to base results off of:
It's been a long time since I updated anyone here about my hair journey. Long story hopefully not as long - I ran into some insurance issues, some health issues relating to my work pushing me beyond my physical limits while on hormones, and major depression issues that resulted in a lapse of me taking my hormones. I was very sporadic with them, sometimes I'd take them for a week and then stop for 2-3 months. Other times I'd take them a couple days a week for a couple months. I had a period of time where I didn't take any hormones for about 6 or 7 months. During this time I was also relatively inconsistent with minoxidil. Never as bad as I was with my hormones but I was only applying my minoxidil 3-4 days a week most weeks. During this time I was mostly consistent with my dutasteride, although I did have a few missed doses and at one point I ran out and had to use finasteride for about a month.
Luckily I didn't lose that much ground but the hair quality was overall worse and the areas which I was previously slick bald on like the temples and the area in like the middle of the scalp directly behind the hairline definitely thinned out noticeably.
As of 2 months ago I started being pretty religious again with my hormones and my minoxidil. As of about 2 weeks ago I started using Stemoxydine on the hairline. I've been dermarolling with LiCL inconsistently as well, although I plan to make that a 2x/week affair here soon. All in all, I've got too much happening with treatments to put any would-be success solely on the shoulders of Sandalore with any degree of certainty, but I will still give an opinion on it as a treatment when I feel appropriate to make a judgment.
The last 2-3 months has been a period of intense shedding and if Sandalore could stop that and hopefully thicken up existing hair and hair I expect to come back with my newfound consistency in my regimen, I would consider it a success for me.
