Got some spironolactone cream today and it really stinks. theres no feasible way of putting that stuff on twice a day...


im thinking maybe put it on every night and shower in the morning.


how do you spironolactone users work it into your regimen?

Me neither.

I only had smell issues when I was using the 2% liquid, and it really only stank when I was out and about in warm weather.

The 5% cream is odorless... well, it smells like cream.

I've never smelled it either. I've actually been hoping to catch a whiff to see what all the crying is about the smell, but it's been a year and I haven't smelled a thing.

you would think they would put some perfumes/scents of some sort to counter the natural smell of the ingredients. I guess not.

Genhair's 5% spironolactone cream supposedly doesn't smell or smells minty actually because it has menthol and rosemary oil in it. Old Baldy has suggested to me to mix rosemary oil and/or eucalyptus oil to my spironolactone cream to help reduce the odor and help absorption.

That's correct. Genhair's version has a bit of a menthol smell as it does have menthol and rosemary oil. The smell is not bad at all. But when I was using wholesalehairproducts version -- I did notice a bit of a smell. But it wasn't that bad since I was only using a little bit of it on the corners/temples of the scalp. Genhair's version is much better though and it leaves less of a residue.
