Genhair's is arguably the better of the two, since Genhair's has more ingredients (Retin-A, Rosemary Oil, Caffeine, Menthol). And supposedly, Genhair's version has less of an odor. But I haven't tried Lee's version, so I can't say personally that this is true.

propylene glycol could be a key ingredient. I would not strust a formulation without it, though you can buy some from chemistrystore.com and just add it in. Adding 20% should do the trick, and would reduce 5% to 4%. Even better yet, do 10% PG and 10% octyl salicilate.

The only thing I don't like about making my own is all the powder. I wish I could have pure spironolactone so the filler does not make my hair orange or clog any pores.

What's in most filler anyway? 20% Propecia glycol in Emu oil would work for topical spironolactone?

I just wish someone would sell me a kilogram of pure spironolactone powder. I'd put it in the freezer and count myself luck. It would be in all my topicals. I'd reduce my body hair too.
